Holly Lotterhos
For Holly, home is truly where her heart is. A North Carolina native, she spent her childhood in Charlotte drawing floorplans, cutting pictures of pretty interiors from magazines and putting the two together to create ideas for her own dream home. That childhood passion became a life-long pursuit and ultimately led her to found Hollis & Jay where she helps clients find and create dream homes of their own.
Holly is a talented designer and brings her unique perspective to each project. She is a firm believer in the idea that your home should be a reflection of who you are and what you love. She completed her first full house remodel in 2004, created a successful home blog and furniture and kitchen painting business several years later, and has worked with numerous clients to buy, sell and remodel homes in North Carolina.
Holly earned a degree in Business Management from North Carolina State University and is a licensed North Carolina Real Estate Broker.
Mike Lotterhos
Mike is the contractor and project manager that operates behind the scenes at Hollis & Jay to help turn Holly’s design vision into reality. Although he believes (perhaps naively) that he also has a talent for design, he knows to stay out of the way while the real genius is at work. Mike complements Holly’s front-end design activities by suggesting various building approaches to implement her ideas and helps to ensure that the final project is delivered on time and on budget.
Mike has been in the real estate business for most of his career and has managed hundreds of projects from small residential remodels to expansive commercial office developments.
Mike is a licensed North Carolina General Contractor, a licensed North Carolina CPA and a licensed North Carolina Real Estate Broker. He earned a Bachelor’s degree in Finance from North Carolina State University and a Masters in Accounting from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.
Meredith Rigot
From an early age, Meredith recalls flipping through her grandparents collection of Southern Living magazines looking at floor plans and imagining the potential those spaces held. Watching her parents design and build their dream home and her Mother’s artistic eye for decorating helped shape Meredith’s love of creating spaces that are both beautiful and functional.
Meredith brings a background of exceptional client service from her former life as a nurse. After taking some time off to raise her kids, she realized how much she missed working with people and helping guide them through some of life’s greatest transitions. That realization led Meredith to pursue a career in real estate. Around the same time, Meredith and her family bought and remodeled their own home and fell in love with the renovation process. With a heart for people and a passion for all things home design, Hollis & Jay allows her to use her strengths in both real estate and renovations.
Meredith’s passion is to help people find the perfect home and to fall in love with where they live. Whether it is walking houses with her real estate clients and helping them visualize a home beyond the current appearance, working with sellers to help them plan thoughtful updates that will maximize their equity, or helping sellers prep and stage their homes for the market, Meredith excels at helping people find and transform their houses into a beloved home.
Meredith grew up in Winston-Salem, graduated from UNC-Chapel Hill and has called the Triangle home for the last 13 years. Meredith is a licensed North Carolina Real Estate Broker and is the primary buyers and sellers agent for Hollis & Jay Real Estate.
