History

We are a full-service real estate agency dedicated to helping you realize your dreams of buying or selling

We are the Plainview area’s most established real estate office and it shows in how we serve our clients!  We consistently list and sell 50 - 70% of all of the Plainview area listings – more than all other agents combined. 

At Montgomery Holst Realty, we don’t believe in being a “high-pressure” type of agent in order to get, or keep, your business.  We understand that we need to earn your trust. 

We will help connect you with leaders in financing/mortgages and banking, home inspection services, appraisal services, attorneys and closing/title companies.

We at Montgomery Holst Realty know that finding the right broker to represent you is a choice not to be taken lightly. That’s why we offer free consultations to walk you through your needs, the scope of your goals, and your budget.
