About Miriam Holland
At just fourteen years old, REALTOR(R) Miriam Holland got a jump start on her career in the Insurance industry. She earned her license in Real Estate in 2014 in a small town in Stevenson County, Illinois. In the twenty years since then, she has worked in property management and founded her own mortgage brokerage called Trust One Mortgage. Today, she is highly sought after as a REALTOR(R) for investment properties, bringing an in-depth knowledge of financing and negotiation to every deal.
Working with a team that is primarily made up of family members, Miriam's business has expanded to every area in Chicago, including the northern and southern suburbs. As most of her clientele are looking for a safe area to raise their families, she does a lot of business in Garfield Ridge and Clearing in particular, which have a convenient local fire station and police department. From the moment you start working with Miriam, you'll recognize how hard she works to understand your needs. She and her team believe strongly in speaking with clients in-office to build relationships from the outset, rather than just meeting at the listings. "We do 'lunch and learns' and teach homebuyer seminars to educate and inspire," she says. "We involve inspectors, insurance agents and Real Estate attorneys to our seminars to make sure that everyone is on the same page with our projects."
Around 85-90% of Miriam's business comes from referrals, which she attributes to her constant communication. "I reach out frequently to past and current clients, send birthday cards, and wish everyone a happy houseversarry," she says. These cards are often handwritten with a personalized message and business card from Miriam in case clients have any questions. As far as marketing goes, Miriam keeps her outreach in-house with her niece serving as her marketing manager. At least a few times per year, Miriam and the team organize client appreciation events.

ZillowVERIFIEDWe couldnt have asked for a better agent than Miriam, being 1st time buyers she defenetly explained in detail all the questions we had. She really made us feel comfortable and felt like we were in good hands since the beginning. She is someone who I would recommend to everyone!!!!

Meeting Miriam has been life changing. She was so helpful when it came to anything that we needed. She really cared that we were happy in our future home. If you ever need a realtor, Miriam is a go-to. She really knows her stuff and will take care of you until the very end

We were so lucky to find Miriam. She was instrumental in the process to purchase the house of our dreams. Miriam is responsive and always had our best interest in mind. She's a true expert in the real estate world - as a couple that isn't knowledgeable about buying a home, she ensured that we understood the process and that we had all the information we needed to feel comfortable with our decision. We're looking forward to keeping in touch with Miriam for all of our real estate needs.

Nothing but great things to say about Miriam! If youre looking for a good realtor she is the ideal person to go to. Looking for the right place to call home can take a long time and I sometimes felt like giving up on my search but Miriam persisted on searching and was very knowledgeable on what to look out for and guided me throughout the whole home buying process which I really appreciated since this was my first time buying a home. In the end Miriam helped me secure my dream home! And I am so deeply grateful to her and the Galarza team!

Ms. Holland was very professional My sellibg of the house was due to divorce. Ms.Holland was understanding, not taking sides. Explained the legal ramifications and listen to my concerns Ms.Holland made sure I understood the selling process and always made sure she stayed neutral througou process. Her knowledge of the neighborhood and other houses made it easy to relinquish my selling.

It was a pleasure having Miriam guide us through our home buying journey. She is very knowledgeable and wont hesitate to let you know if something doesnt seem right with the property. We loved getting her feed back and advise she always knew the answers and guided us through the entire process. She is always available when u need her would definitely recommend to family and friends.

I had an amazing experience with Miriam. Very personable , out going and knowledgeable about the entire process. She was able to put my mind at ease if there was something I did not understand. She made the whole experience easier for me and I would definitely recommend her to everyone I know. She was there every step of the way!

After dealing with pushy and aggresive realtors that never listen to what you want, it was great to meet someone like Miriam. I was assisting my father to find a home to enjoy retirement. I dealt with lots of different realtors in several states. Everytime we described what he was looking for, they tried to sell him everything but what he requested at a higher cost. It was really a different pace with Miriam, she showed my father the property/land and when we described what he wanted she actually took time to listen. She embrassed my father like family, and she did everything she could to get him the perfect deal for his new home. She was on top of everything and helped us every step of the way. My father finally found his dream land and home, we are very thankful to have worked with Miriam. I definetely would recommend her for buying your first house or your final home where you can retire.
