Andrea Holt moved with her family from Northern Virginia to the Middle Peninsula, 24 years ago in 1996. She and her husband purchased a marina in Deltaville, and in spite of being suburbanites all their lives, they sold their home and headed to the country. Since then Andrea has held positions as an advertising sales rep for tourism publications in eastern Virginia and North Carolina, as a manufactured and modular home salesperson for Clayton Homes in Tappahannock, and as a new home consultant in an active adult community in Williamsburg. It was her time spent selling modular homes that ignited a love for seeing families realize their dream of home ownership. In working with sellers, Andrea especially draws on the years she spent in advertising. She understands the market and knows that the buyers who will ultimately purchase her listings are sometimes local, yet many times they are from Richmond, Northern Virginia, or further north. Andrea believes that a good part of her duty in representing her clients starts with a broad overview of the area and the nuances that come with living in the country and on the water. She spends time introducing her clients to their areas of interest so that they can understand the topography, proximity to towns, and the various bodies of water. She says it's an area that is easy to love - rich in history and unexpectedly remote for an area tucked between several metropolises. Andrea describes herself as having the soul of a conservationist and is passionate about the Bay, rivers and creeks in the Northern Neck and Middle Peninsula. Andrea has been with IsaBell K. Horsley Real Estate since November 2013. In her spare time Andrea enjoys spending time with family and friends, cooking, reading, and hanging out with her two dogs, three cats, and seven chickens.

Shelley Ritter and Andrea Holt were absolutely outstanding and worked together as a seamless team throughout the entire process of selling our Irvington, Virginia home. Their knowledge of the market, strategic guidance, and constant communication made what could have been a stressful experience feel smooth and well-managed. Not once, but twice, they helped us navigate multiple-offer situations with confidence and clarity. They explained our options clearly, advocated for our best interests, and handled every detail with professionalism and care. We always felt informed, supported, and confident that we were in the best possible hands. Shelley and Andrea truly go above and beyond for their clients, and the results speak for themselves. We couldnt be happier with the outcome and highly recommend them to anyone looking to sell their home.

We have worked with Shelley twice - once in 2022 as the buyers and most recently in November 2025 as the buyers. We can't say enough nice things about Shelley. She's so great! We had wonderful experiences working with her both times. Shelley is kind, professional, patient, hard-working, and dedicated. She is very giving of her time and has extensive knowledge of the buying and selling process. We will always use Shelley for any of our real estate transactions and highly recommend her to others!

Andrea worked with us for 4 years to find the right location and home. She was patient and offered excellent local market knowledge which was invaluable in helping us to eventually find the right property. Additionally, her professionalism and timeliness in negotiating a complicated deal with plenty of back and forth in a short time frame was critical to closing the deal in just 30 days!

Andrea & Shelley did an amazing job leading us through the process of selling our home. They went way above and beyond our expectations. The house sold above asking within 24 hours of listing. Weve never had a realtor work as hard and do as good a job as she did.
