Together We Make It Happen

When people ask me if I like what I do, I say, "No... I love it."

The pace is fast and the people fascinating. The pleasure I feel when my clients' goals are achieved is quite satisfying. Having come to real estate with many years experience in public relations (specializing in media relations and project management), I’m quite comfortable guiding people through high-stress processes, while staying on top of the myriad details that make a deal come together. Whether its rescuing journalists on assignment stranded in Papua New Guinea (all via telephone) or shepherding clients successfully through tension-filled multiple offer situations, I bring the same enthusiasm and commitment to the moment. Experiences like these have honed my skills in listening, negotiating, and following through... and in trying all avenues available to meet shared objectives.

Describing me as client-driven would not be an overstatement because I enjoy the challenge and the unpredictability of it all. I wake up each day with a plan and yet am happy to drop everything to tour a home that lingers in one’s memory as too special not to see again or to write a last minute offer on a home a client realizes in the middle of the night that they truly love.

I know when to be there for my clients, when to keep information close to the vest, and when to laugh out loud in jubilation because together we’ve made it happen... goals have been met and dreams have come true.

Do I like what I do? No... I love it!

What my clients are saying about me:

Chaitan and Renuka / Sellers

     "We tried to sell our house during the sub prime crisis and could not get the property to move, despite being on the market for almost 9 months. We met with Linda. She made a few suggestions and within 2 weeks of being on the market, we received multiple offers and closed in 21 days! We credit the sale of our home to Linda's professionalism, enthusiasm and knowledge of market conditions and the area. We will definitely call on her for our future real estate needs!"


Sheila and Neville / Sellers

     
"Linda is a consummate professional. She knows the real estate business and does everything that she can to facilitate a successful transaction for her client. She does her homework. Researches all aspects of issues relating to a potential deal, and consistently keeps her clients informed of the progress of a transaction. We found her to be a delightful person to work with, always optimistic, supportive and reliable. We certainly would not hesitate to recommend her to anyone in need of professional realtor services. She is the BEST!"


Jean-François / Buyer

      “I am so pleased to have Linda as my agent. She understood right from our first meeting, my needs and right away personalized her search to match my needs. Her commitment to finding me the right house was outstanding. Every listing she sent my way was of interest. I looked at houses over a period of 6 months, as my requirements were unusual, and I was in no rush. The day that she informed me of the availability of the house which has become my new home, she promptly met me there. We thoroughly looked at the pros and cons of this property. With no pressure, she helped me decide on a fair offer, and the next day we put the offer on the house. Her paperwork was impeccable and even had attached a personal profile of me as the buyer, which I think helped a lot in getting this house, knowing that there were almost thirty bids on it. I highly recommend you to work with Linda. She is charismatic, very attentive to my needs, and did so much work for me in such a short time, helping me understand all aspects of this amazing transaction, with calm and real professionalism. As an agent, she is above and beyond what I ever expected. Thank you Linda, for making my dream come true. You are truly the best.”


Candace / Seller

     "Linda not only helped me in selling my home, she was invaluable on the remodeling side, too. I couldn't have gotten near my asking price without her advice and follow through. Together we selected colors for repainting, replacing carpet, and tiling both the kitchen and bathroom floors.  She called in workers to make small, but important repairs and supervised all inspections, cleaning, and rehabbing. When the offers starting coming in, her advice and knowledge of the market was once again invaluable. She was just fabulous in so many ways. I always keep an ear open for people about to buy or sell and tell them to contact her. 


Ken and Rina / Buyers

     "We can't thank you enough for your hard work on getting us the place and in such a quick timeframe. Thank you so much for being a part of such a terrific experience and phase in Ken's and my life. It was very fun, rewarding and most memorable. Definitely keep in touch. Also we're making sure to tell all our home-seeking friends about your great work!"


Ron and Silvia / Buyers

     "Linda went out of her way to be sure that we were well taken care of, and always performed like a pro. Once we decided on the house that we wanted, she helped us through every snag and over every hurdle. What was most impressive was the fact that she got us into a home during the time of the mortgage meltdown, when the unpredictable market was scaring everyone else. She went to bat for us immediately and hit a home run that got us into a house in a wonderful neighborhood. Throughout the entire process she was on top of things and made herself available to answer any questions at any time. Since she told us that we could call her at any time, we did. Whether morning, noon, or night, she always responded right away - even when she was out of town! Thank you very much, Linda!"



Julie and Matt / Buyers

     "We would highly recommend Linda to any prospective home buyer. She was great at putting us at ease, being that it was our first time buying a home. She explained the entire process very thoroughly, answered all of our questions along the way, and was always accessible. Linda made the whole process less overwhelming, more fun, and we found a great house!"
