PARKER
CEO
THE HOLLY PARKER TEAM AT DOUGLAS ELLIMAN
Holly Parker has been serving as CEO of The Holly Parker Team at Douglas Elliman. She first
made her mark as a highly successful realtor, an industry leader with the prestigious Douglas
Elliman firm in NYC, and has sold over $8 billion worth of luxury real estate.
Now she has turned her golden touch to writing. in her breakout new book Back on the
Market: A Realtor’s Guide to Love and Life, Parker has cleverly shown that “real estate is a
lot like life…and life is a lot like real estate…” Her theme is looking for, then finding, love and
keeping it—a hard scramble but something to build on just like the best real estate.
Based on Parker’s own story, she was married seven years before she found herself “falling
out of contract” then divorced, she closed that old deal and found herself “back on the
market” and it was bearish to begin with. But no fear, after many market fluctuations in her
search for romance, she met Mr. Right, and has been happily married and the mother of twins.
Her ultimate theme was “renewal”—either personal or in real estate. Buying a new house is an
American rite of passage, emblematic of starting over.
Parker’s pursuit of happiness was also a mission accomplished. and she left readers with the
message that happiness can be found even in the darkest of times. Like any good realtor,
she’ll gladly tell you that the key to life is to continue to forge ahead, take the next step and
close the deal.
