Chris Holt joins the Lee Ann Wilkinson Group

The Lee Ann Wilkinson Group of Prudential Gallo, Realtors, welcomes its newest member, Chris Holt. While Holt will serve as a full-service agent, working with both buyers and sellers, his primary focus will be to augment the award-winning service provided to sellers working with The Lee Ann Wilkinson Group.

Holt became a full-time resident of Lewes in 2011 after living both here and in Washington, D.C., since 2002. Prior to joining Prudential Gallo, Holt was a founding partner and principal of a consulting firm focusing on corporate and consumer communications and public affairs, with offices in Phoenix, Ariz., and Washington, D.C.

Also in those cities, as well as in Kansas City, Mo., and Des Moines, Iowa, he renovated and developed numerous residential and commercial properties with special interest in restoring historically significant or period homes and apartments. In his early professional life, Holt served as field director in presidential and congressional election campaigns.

“Although my career pursuits have been pretty broad, the common theme in my professional life has been to deliver results for the client,” Holt said. “I do that by asking the right questions, listening carefully to the answers and paying attention to every detail. I want the clients to feel as if they have every possible advantage with me in their corner, looking out for their interests. Matching motivated buyers and sellers is a natural fit for me, and I am especially happy to have the opportunity to do so in a community that appreciates its historical heritage. When Lee Ann and her team handled my first personal real estate transaction here in Lewes, I was immediately impressed with her thoroughness, fairness and frankness. Now, I am honored and excited to join her team and work in the Sussex County community - a community for which I have developed a deep affinity and attachment.”

“Chris has a long professional history in assessing client needs and providing them with responsive service,” Wilkinson said. “He has also demonstrated a strong commitment to community, which is important to us here at Prudential Gallo. He is active in a wide variety of community projects, including cofounding and cochairing Taste the Fruit of the Vine, an annual benefit for the Sussex County Community Outreach Program. I am very pleased to have him as part of my team.”

Holt is a graduate of the University of Northern Iowa and attended graduate school at the University of Kansas and the Johns Hopkins University. He can be reached at his Lewes office at 302-645-6664, or email chrisholt@lewesrealestate.com.
