Introducing
the Queen of Capital
Holly Lynn, aka ‘The Queen of
Capital’, is the person you want to
know when it comes to doing real
estate deals, or filling your
vacancies.
Holly says, “I’ve been working
in real estate since I was a little
girl, helping my grandparents with
their investment properties.” In
2009 she really began ramping up
the amount of real estate she was
doing herself, and was helping
others to put together. Over the
past 4 years Holly has brought
together what is the largest group
of active global investors funding,
acquiring, and managing property
in Silicon Valley, and beyond.
While there are multiple
working parts to every deal, the
one thing the gurus seem to forget
to tell their students today is what
the real key to dealmaking and
success in
real estate
is. You can
go pay
$40,000 or
more for a
real estate
course and
learn a lot
of stuff
about the
basic
mechanics
of how a
real estate
transaction works. They might
even give you some marketing
ideas, tips on how to evaluate
properties, and ideas for creating
your brand, and sending out direct
mail. As much as you might not
like the fact, Holly and her success
proves that it’s not just about what
you know. in real estate, it is still
very much about who you know.
If you want to get connected to
the people with the deals, the
money to fund them, and the right
professionals to lease, manage and
exit them, you need to connect
with Holly.

While this Californian influencer
was doing perfectly well before
you signed up for her meetup,
Facebook, or Instagram, Holly
says, “Social media has certainly
been a huge part of the journey.” It
has not only empowered her to
grow a global “Rolodex” of
important contacts and friends, but
has sped up her ability to help the
investors who know her. She can
reach out to her network, and in a
few moments can secure the help
her clients are looking for. You can
connect with her yourself on
Facebook at @QueenofCapital,
and on Instagram as
@queenofcapital101.
Everyone wants to know how
she does it, and what her secret is
for more effective social media
and online dealmaking. Having
gone through all the trial and
error of outsourcing offshore, and
trying expensive agencies, Holly
says she has solved it inhouse by
creating her own team. She is
very active on her favorite social
media platforms, and has built her
own inhouse team to help her
manage and optimize her
platforms.
