Your journey begins here.

Hello!

Thank you for taking the time to learn a little bit about me! 

I come from a large family (with more siblings than there are days in a week - eight to be exact)!  My family moved from Kalamazoo to Ann Arbor in 1964 so my father could go to work for his brothers (George and Joe) at Big George's Home Appliance Mart. As a young girl, I loved the city as soon as I arrived. Of course, it didn't hurt that we lived a few blocks away from Washtenaw Dairy!

After graduating from college with a degree in Sociology, I worked as a legal assistant for 2 1/2 years and learned how to do research and pay close attention to detail.  When I became a licensed Realtor in 1981, Michigan's economy was in a tailspin and interest rates were 16 - 18%!  Despite those conditions, I achieved great results for my buyers and sellers because of my work ethic, personal service and persistence. My first broker, John, kiddingly told me, "Linda, if you sell enough houses, I'll marry you."  Well... as it turned out, our mutual passion for real estate developed into friendship and true love, and we did get married!  We have 2 wonderful sons - Jeff and Eric - who grew up here in Ann Arbor, went to school at UM and EMU, and make us proud every day.

As the third oldest in a large family, one of the valuable lessons I learned is that it takes a lot of love and hard work to make sure everyone's needs are met and maintain a happy household.  As a Realtor, I treat my clients like family... with respect and consideration.  Perhaps that's why they describe me as patient, earnest, intuitive, positive and helpful, warm and caring, tireless, straight-forward, and "not pushy"... and why they recommend me so often to their friends and neighbors.  I always do my very best to help people make informed decisions and achieve their objectives.

 

Enough about me! ;-)

Are you thinking of selling your home?  Because of my track record of success in both "up" and "down" markets, I can share expert advice and great strategies to help you sell your home on your timeline and for the best price possible.  Together we will "stage" your home for the best results, price your home competitively, market your home using innovative methods, attract the best qualified prospects, and negotiate offers from a position of strength. You will be my top priority!

Thinking about buying a home or investment property? Hiring me as your Buyer's Agent will save you time, frustration and money!  I will help you prioritize your wants and needs, find the most number of properties that meet your criteria, help you compare properties, discuss market value and potential resale, negotiate on your behalf, and be your advocate during the inspection process.  You can count on me to look out for your best interests throughout the entire transaction!

If you're not moving in the near future... but are thinking about making improvements to your home, it's a good idea to consult a professional like me who can advise you how those improvements might impact your home's resale value.  This is priceless information that can save you thousands of dollars and generate an excellent return on your investment.

 

I encourage you to give me a call so we can discuss your particular situation in person.  I promise it will be time well spent! 

 

Looking forward to getting to know YOU!

Testimonials

Dear Linda, we sincerely appreciate all of your hard work for us over the years. Building a new condo has been a lengthy experience that has not always been easy through to completion. You intervened on our behalf and helped identify and resolve so many things. For that we don't know how to express our level of gratitude. You have truly been the best Realtor that we have ever known! Thank You!
