About Karen

Karen brings a wealth of real estate and investment experience, quickly establishing herself as a top-performing agent in the Ithaca market and holding the #1 producing status in 2024, with over $32 million in sales. As the Team Principal of the top-selling Karen Hollands Team at Howard Hanna, she leads a powerhouse group of eight outstanding agents, setting the standard for excellence in the region.
Her passion for real estate began in 2003, when she launched a family property rental business that has grown to include a Cayuga Lake vacation rental, student housing, and a single-family investment property. Building on this foundation, she founded The Karen Hollands Team in 2022, driven by a mission to provide an unparalleled experience for buyers and sellers in the Ithaca market.
Whether you’re a first-time homebuyer, searching for the perfect investment property, or dreaming of a luxury lakefront home in the Finger Lakes, Karen has the experience and expertise to help you achieve your goals.
There’s no place she would rather be than out on her boat, fishing, water skiing, and soaking up the surroundings. From this love of the lakes grew her success in luxury waterfront real estate, where she has helped clients buy and sell everything from classic cottages to multi-million dollar estates. No matter the price point, every client receives her full attention, strategic guidance, and commitment to excellence. Let Karen coach you to success.
