Merry Holley

RESEARCH-BASED REVIEW, NOT A FIRST-HAND EXPERIENCE. Everything below comes from the public sources listed at the end, checked on 2026-10-11. No one from Peachtree City Guide has bought or sold a home with this agent, and the agent was not contacted. Service-quality scores are provisional.

About sales numbers: sales counts come from the platforms themselves (Georgia MLS public agent page, Realtor.com, and Zillow/Homes.com where shown) and may be incomplete: they can miss sales recorded only in another MLS (FMLS), count listing-side and buyer-side deals differently, and do not always state a date range. We report what each platform showed on 2026-10-11.

Zillow/Homes.com check 2026-10-11 (~4:30 PM ET, read on screen): score unchanged at 7.7. See Recent activity and Other review platforms.

The short version

• License: active and in good standing on the Georgia Real Estate Commission lookup (no disciplinary sanctions on record; not on GREC’s current suspension or revocation lists).
• Peachtree City activity: 26 PTC sold listings on the Georgia MLS page; 17 sales in the last 12 months across all areas on Realtor.com; 16 on Zillow.
• Recency: the newest Zillow review is from Aug 2022, so Zillow adds volume but nothing to the recent-experience part of the score.
• Reviews read directly: Google (Exa Places snapshot 2026-09-14) 5.0 from 24; Realtor.com 5.0 from 7; Zillow (read on screen 2026-10-11) 5.0 from 114.
• Recent reviews: none dated in the last 24 months that we could read (neutral 5).

What clients say (themes)

• Of the 21 distinct reviews we read (any date), 0 mention a first-time buyer, 3 a relocation or out-of-state move, 9 a sale and 9 a purchase.
• No 1–2★ reviews with text among the reviews we read.
• Zillow (our summary of reviews read on screen, not a quote): above and beyond, knows Fayette County, repeat clients.
• Limitation: we read only reviews visible on pages we could open. Zillow and Homes.com were read on screen in a browser session (figures and our theme summaries above; not quotes). FastExpert and Facebook blocked automated access or need a login.

Other review platforms (checked 2026-10-11)

Blocked or not found: Zillow and Homes.com block automated access, but their pages were read on screen in a browser session on 2026-10-11 (figures above). FastExpert (Cloudflare check) and Facebook (login) were not read. We did not get around any block.

What recent reviewers say (keyword analysis)

• No reviews dated in the last 24 months were readable. Recent-experience score: 5.0 (neutral).
• Zillow: newest Zillow review is from 2022-08-09, outside the 24-month window. Agent and brokerage website testimonials are excluded.
