About Holly Kersten

The home that has served a family well for years may need to serve them differently as life changes.  Health, finances, family circumstances, and personal priorities can all influence where and how we live.  Recognizing when something needs to change, understanding the options, and deciding what comes next are not always easy.

I’m Holly Karsten, a REALTOR® and Seniors Real Estate Specialist (SRES®), with a passion for helping adult children of aging parents and the seniors they love find a clear path through their housing options.  Serving San Antonio and the surrounding Hill County, I bring a family-focused approach to real estate, recognizing that every family’s circumstances, priorities, and goals are different.

My passion for helping families through life’s transitions is both professional and personal.  Having helped my own family navigate my mother’s changing needs, I understand how emotional, complicated, and deeply personal housing decisions can become.  I believe families deserve a knowledgeable partner who listens carefully, respects their priorities, and helps them explore their options without unnecessary pressure.

Before entering real estate, I spent 35 years as a Certified Public Accountant, working locally and globally.  That experience strengthens the analytical insight, attention to detail, and practical problem-solving I bring to my real estate practice.

Guided by my core values of Honesty, Trust, and Connection, I believe that making the right housing decision isn’t simply about where someone lives, but about understanding the options, honoring what matters most, and choosing a path that brings clarity, confidence, and peace of mind.
