After excelling in marketing, public relations, VIP, and casino host services at the Hollywood Casino (formerly Casino Magic), Holly decided to pursue her passion for entrepreneurship. She took the opportunity to bring new life to the Historic City Hall building in Old Town Bay St. Louis and established the thriving Cypress Café. The café became a popular local spot where people gathered to enjoy delicious meals in a charming and welcoming atmosphere.
While running the Cypress Café, Holly's love for design and her desire to help others find their dream homes led her to venture into the real estate industry. Leveraging her extensive experience in marketing and her commitment to exceptional customer service, she made a smooth transition and established HL Raymond Properties, LLC.

She shares her DIY projects and interior design insights through her blog called "Beautiful Things," featured on the BSL Shoofly, an online magazine. With less than two years of experience in real estate, Holly obtained her Broker's license and established HL Raymond Properties, LLC. She transformed an old shoe store in a strip mall into an Industrial Chic real estate office. During that time, she also renovated a condo and an abandoned gas station, which was featured on Season 4, Episode 7 of HGTV's "You Live in What." Holly has appeared on HGTV's Beachfront Bargain Hunt Season 13, Episode 4 and has been featured in various magazines, including Gulf Coast Woman, South Mississippi Living, and Realtor Success(ion).

With continuous growth, Holly purchased a building and incorporated her unique style to convert a former orthodontist's office into HL Raymond Properties, LLC. She recently sold it to create a new boutique office located in Old Town Bay St. Louis, right on the beach. Holly now oversees several agents, associate brokers, a marketing/agent lead manager, and executive assistants within her team. In 2019, she established her own production company, HL Raymond Productions, LLC, and produced two seasons of her television series called "Inside Out with HL Raymond Properties."
