"The previous outstanding reviews for Linnette are spot on. We found her on yelp and once we met her in person, we didn't look back. Linnette is among the best in the business. Not only does she understand the real estate market incredibly well, but she is patient, professional, fair, and reliable, not to mention simply a joy to work with. Perhaps most important: she loves what she does and it shows!

Linnette stuck with my boyfriend and me every step of the way when we decided to venture into the crazy Bay Area housing market. And I'll be honest: we weren't always the easiest people to work with. We were very particular about being within a half mile of a BART station. And while we were clear on what we didn't want, at times, we were fuzzier on what we did want. Linnette stuck with us, getting more info on particular properties quickly when we needed it and backing off when we got cold feet and requested more time. She was supportive, yet honest throughout the entire process, meaning that she comforted us when we were discouraged but was also willing to step up and tell us when we were being unrealistic in our expectations.

Our first offer was on a fixer-upper. Despite competing higher offers, Linnette got ours accepted and went to bat for us when the selling agent tried to pull a shady fast one on us. Ultimately, the fixer needed more work than we could handle; with professional savvy, Linnette helped us back out and get our deposit returned, never making us feel foolish or guilty about the situation. A few months later we made an offer on a townhouse, which was accepted, and I write this review from our new place. One part realtor, one part advocate, one part therapist, and one part friend, Linnette is the realtor to go to."

"When we first started looking for homes in the Lamorinda area, we knew very little about the area, other than having been up there a few times.  I spent a lot of time searching for a realtor that covered the area well.   The one name that kept popping up everywhere was Linette's.

MyHousingGuide.com is where my wife and I did a lot of shopping and got a good feel for what we could get in the area and for how much.  It is the best MLS portal that we could find that covered the Contra Costa county.  We looked up a bunch of houses, then ultimately contacted Linette to set up a tour of the area.

The web site was fabulous as far as functionality goes.  Some searches were slow, but that could be the MLS system backing it.  Its hard to tell as there aren't many portals for that area.  Normally I'd ding it a star if I thought others were faster, but at the time it had zero competition, so I'll leave it at 5 stars.

On Linette as a realtor- We contacted here literally right before she left the country on vacation.  She hooked us up with an associate of hers to begin our search.  We got the benefit of two realtors for the price of one!  Individually each were great, but together as a team they were twice as fabulous!

Noticeably, Linette is a very shrewd negotiator.  She helped us get a great deal, then later she was able to get us more money back to cover some unexpected repair work that the property required after contingencies were lifted.   That was clearly above and beyond the call of duty!  I highly recommend both the site MyHousingGuide.com as well as Linette as a realtor!"

"Linnette didn't just put my house on the market, she marketed the house. She knew exactly how to present the house, told me how the get it ready for sale, advertised to build excitement, and priced it to get the most value for the home. My house sold in just over a week, with multiple offers well over any of my expectations. I would recommend her to anyone."

"Linnette Edwards is awesome. Where can we start? She is by far the most knowledgeable, professional, and courteous realtor we've had the pleasure to work with. (Before deciding to buy through her, we werecourting several other realtors from nearby competitors) We posted great things about her on agentsonline.net. Every step of the way, she reminded us of what needed to be done, and made the process as painless and easy as possible. She was always available to meet or talk and answered questions quickly and thoroughly. After our offer was accepted, we looked on-line at some other houses and went through buyers remorse. When we fired questions at Linnette, she responded with impressive aplomb and addressed each and every concern that we had. In addition, she fought hard to get us a good price and bargained for us to get many things fixed or taken care of by the seller. She's hardworking, accessible, and a joy to work with. We'd buy through her again."

"Linnette was recommended to me by a good friend who had just bought her first home through Linnette. I'd had a so-so experience with another agent, and my friend raved about how great Linnette was. I can't tell you how TERRIFIC Linnette has been to work with. I am a first-time home buyer, and definitely needed some hand holding. For starters, Linnette is such a pleasant person and has a great attitude. She's a good mix of optimistic and realistic, which is a good combo when looking for a home. She caught on immediately as to what I was looking for, and always had a good batch of places to go see. She was extremely thorough too. She was always bringing along or e-mailing me info on the various properties, and she educated me on the housing market and what to look for (and look out for). One thing she did that other agents hadn't done that was very helpful was that she took me on driving tours of the neighborhoods I wanted to look in, and some that I didn't even know existed. Linnette was also never pushy about anything. I never felt pressured like I have with other agents. Throughout the entire process, right through to the close of escrow (and still now), she was always available if I had questions, concerns, etc. No time was ever a bad time to call, and she was always quick to respond. I have already given Linnette's card out to a few of my friends who are getting ready to start looking to buy. How much did Linnette pay me for this testimonial you ask? Not a red cent. It's all true."
