Community Highlights: Meet Kent Hollingsworth of The Hollingsworth Group

Today we’d like to introduce you to Kent Hollingsworth.

Hi Kent, we’re thrilled to have a chance to learn your story today. So, before we get into specifics, maybe you can briefly walk us through how you got to where you are today?
I was born and raised in the Kansas City Area. After graduating from K-State, I knew I wanted to come back home to live and work.

I’ve built a family here with my wife and 2 kids and when we bought our first home I enjoyed the process so much that I started looking into the real estate industry and found my skills were uniquely fit for a mortgage advisor. I love helping people with the planning and execution of the dream of owning a home.

I have been able to help individuals and families move into their dream homes or invest in rentals for additional side income. I have built my business on helping clients through the confusing process of attaining a mortgage and making it easy to understand!

I’m sure you wouldn’t say it’s been obstacle-free, but so far would you say the journey has been a fairly smooth road?
Starting a new business, in general, is difficult but starting one in the midst of a pandemic comes with its own challenges.

While I have benefited from historically low rates, getting in front of clients in a socially distanced culture was tough.

The way I have been able to differentiate myself from other lenders is through creative marketing and customer service that seems lost in a growing industry dominated by automation.

Thanks – so what else should our readers know about The Hollingsworth Group?
I am a lender based out of Kansas City but help homebuyers in Kansas, Missouri, and Texas find the right loans for them.

Whether you are refinancing, buying your first home, or building your dream home, together we can explore the many options for financing. The housing and mortgage market can be overwhelming. I can help you navigate the many steps to make this process easy.

In mortgages, there isn’t much difference in price from one lender to the next so I prioritize my client’s experience and keep their best interests at the forefront of every transaction.

We’re always looking for the lessons that can be learned in any situation, including tragic ones like the Covid-19 crisis. Are there any lessons you’ve learned that you can share?
I think we have all realized how valuable our homes are.

When we all realized our home was our home/office/daycare/school/restaurant we were reminded that we need to take care of and continually keep up with our homes.
