WORK HISTORY
Real Estate Agent @Houlihan Lawrence
Fairfield County, CT, US
Before entering real estate, I worked as a futures and commodities trader. That experience shaped the way I approach every transaction. I understand markets, I stay calm under pressure, and I negotiate strategically to help my clients achieve the best possible price in any environment, especially in complex or shifting markets like the one we are in today.Choosing the right broker matters. I believe you deserve someone who understands value, timing, and leverage.I have always loved renovation and design. I genuinely enjoy walking into a home and seeing what it could become. Over the years, I have renovated several homes myself, and that hands-on experience allows me to help clients see potential others might miss. I also maintain a trusted network of craftsmen and contractors that I am happy to share.Helping someone find the right home and turn it into something truly their own is what drew me to real estate. I would love to help you do the same.

ABOUT HOLLY HURD
One question can change your life. I’ve seen it happen hundreds of times.After managing my own fund on Wall Street, I pivoted toward a different kind of investment: women with ideas. That decision led me to launch VentureMom.com, where I’ve profiled more than 500 women who turned simple ideas into real income and thriving businesses.Those stories became my first book, Venture Mom: From Idea to Income in Just 12 Weeks (HarperCollins), a practical and inspiring guide for women ready to start something of their own. My newest book, The Life-Changing Power of One Question, explores reinvention and how asking the right question at the right time can unlock clarity, courage, and momentum.I speak nationwide at conferences, universities, corporate events, and women’s organizations on entrepreneurship, reinvention, creativity, and resilience. My talks blend real stories with actionable takeaways that leave audiences energized and ready to move.Beyond VentureMom, I bring more than 25 years of real estate experience in Fairfield County and Nantucket. My background as a Wall Street trader sharpened my ability to assess risk, negotiate strategically, and identify opportunity. Whether in business or property, I help people recognize value and act with confidence.If you’re planning an event, leading a women’s initiative, or looking for a speaker who combines practical strategy with real-world inspiration, let’s connect. And if you’re ready to take your own idea from spark to income, my books are a great place to start.
