Meet Hall & Hoolihan

Two people.
One team.
Your move.

Imagine a small team doing the legwork for you.

We run the search, talk directly with the builders and developers, line up private home and community tours, and help you secure the home you actually want. All you have to do is show up when you're ready.

Let's get started
Cydney Hall
A Florida native, born and raised locally, Cydney has a keen eye for what's new in the area and for finding deals and opportunities most other agents didn't even know were possible. And trending over 2M views a month from her social media marketing, these deals don't last long.
Joseph Hoolihan
Born in Buffalo, raised at the beach since 1988. A Florida resident for almost 40 years, more than a decade of local developer and builder real estate experience, and hundreds of new construction homes sold, Joseph knows the ins and outs of the process that most don't.
Where we work

Forty miles of coast, five very different places to live.

Bradenton is not Venice. Lakewood Ranch is not Sarasota. Pick the one that fits the life you want, and we'll take it from there.

01
Parrish
Manatee County's fastest growing corridor, where farmland is turning into master-planned neighborhoods. Parrish is the value play north of the river, with more new construction than anywhere else on this list.
Explore Parrish
02
Bradenton
Old Florida on the Manatee River, with Anna Maria Island a bridge away. New homes and condos in Bradenton keep you close to the beach without the Sarasota price tag.
Explore Bradenton
03
Lakewood Ranch
One of the country's top selling master-planned communities. Dozens of builders, A-rated schools, and what it actually costs to live there.
Explore Lakewood Ranch
04
Sarasota
The arts, the keys, and the address everyone already knows. New construction in Sarasota runs from downtown condo towers to brand new neighborhoods east of I-75.

05
Wellen Park & Venice
New-build country with a small-town downtown and the beach ten minutes away. Wellen Park is one of the fastest selling master plans in Florida.

On the road

You'll see us coming.

"Homie", our Model X, is our office between appointments. It handles the driving from one showing to the next, so the drive time turns into calls with builders and answers to your messages. If you spot the gold palm around town, that's us.

Questions people ask us

Before you reach out.

Where do you work?

Every week: Parrish, Bradenton, Lakewood Ranch, Sarasota, Venice and Wellen Park, about forty miles of Florida's Gulf Coast in Manatee and Sarasota counties. For Tampa Bay, St. Pete, Wesley Chapel, Punta Gorda, Fort Myers and Orlando we partner with local agents we trust.

Do you only work with new construction?

New construction homes, new construction communities and condo projects are what we specialize in and what we know best. That includes builder incentives, lot premiums, CDD and HOA fees, and which builders actually deliver on time. See what's being built and what it costs.

How do we get started?

Every conversation starts with the questionnaire. It takes about a minute, tells us your timeline, budget, areas and must-haves, and lets our first reply be specific instead of generic. We follow up personally after it comes in.

I'm moving from out of state. Can you help before I get there?

Yes. Most of the people we work with are relocating to Florida. We run the search, talk directly with the builders, line up private home and community tours for the days you're in town, and keep everything moving between visits. Once you decide on a home, we even handle construction appointments and walk-throughs, inspections and more. Start with the relocation roadmap.

When do buyers get the best new construction deals?

Regardless of your path, the best opportunities for deals, discounts, incentives, below-market rates and more are always on homes that are ready now and can close within 30 to 60 days. That's why we get our buyers pre-approved and planned early, so they're ready when the right move-in-ready home comes up.

Do you work with second-home and vacation-home buyers?

All the time. A second home is financed, insured and taxed differently from the home you live in, and builder incentives are written differently too. We put the whole process, with the numbers, in the second-home roadmap.

Do you also sell resale homes?

Of course. New construction tends to be where all the best opportunities are, though, and it's easier to work with from an insurance and mortgage approval perspective.

What does it cost to work with you as a buyer?

Nothing. We do not charge buyers any commissions or random transaction fees to work with us, and our written agreement with our buyers confirms this. Not all agents can say the same.

Do I need a real estate agent to buy a new construction home?

You don't have to have one, but you should, and with us it costs you nothing. The friendly team in the model home works for the builder. We work for you: the lot, the floor plan, the upgrades worth paying for, the incentives and the contract. Bring us in before your first visit to a sales center, because most builders won't recognize your agent after the fact. Here's how we work.

Will you list my home?

Yes we will. We are selective, though. Too many agents take a listing making promises they can't keep. If we don't think we can sell your home, we won't waste your time convincing you otherwise.
