Holly Pratt Hovanec, a 24-year resident of Red Tail, is a woman of many talents—and deep local roots. A seasoned Realtor with 36 years of experience, she’s also a published author, ceramic artist, and devoted gardener. Each role reflects her passion for helping others, fostering meaningful relationships, and creating beauty—whether in homes, clay, or the garden.

At the heart of her story is Red Tail itself. Holly treasures the small-town feel—neighbors who wave as they pass, stop to chat, and support one another like family. It’s this spirit of connection that fuels all she does. Whether she’s guiding a client through a major life transition or sharing handmade pottery with a friend, Holly brings warmth, wisdom, and a steady hand.

In real estate, she’s known for her resourcefulness, empathy, insight, dedication, creativity, and professionalism. She has supported countless clients through moments of joy, loss, excitement, and uncertainty. Her two books—available on Amazon—were born from those experiences. One is like a “business card in book form,” offering clarity and encouragement to anyone navigating the buying or selling process. The other is filled with real-life examples to help readers prepare for the unexpected twists of a real estate transaction.

Holly’s instincts for observation and adaptability also shine through her pottery business, Chameleon in the Garden. She finds joy in the organic, expressive process of creating functional and decorative pieces. The unpredictability of clay reminds her that, just like people, each piece forms through a mix of intention and grace. She often hears from neighbors and friends when they need a heartfelt gift—and her collection is always easy to shop.

Gardening brings her the same kind of fulfillment. Each flower she plants is a tribute to her mother’s memory, deepening her love for nature and inspiring new creative energy. She and her husband, Jim, volunteer their time planting and maintaining the flowerbeds at the Red Tail golf course—a labor of love that blooms season after season.

Holly proudly serves clients across Cuyahoga, Lorain, and Medina Counties, with a special focus on supporting older adults. As a certified Senior Real Estate Specialist® and active member of Eldercare Professionals of Ohio (EPO), she walks with seniors through life transitions with grace and understanding.

Whether she’s nurturing blooms, forming clay, or guiding families to their next home, Holly continues to grow—right where she’s planted.
