Linnette Edwards

I worked with Linnette Edwards to buy a home in the Bay Area, and I am very pleased with the place I ended up getting! Believe the other reviews: she is knowledgeable, proactive, a master negotiator (I got my place under asking price), and has a lot of helpful connections and references. Rather than repeat what everyone else is saying in their positive reviews (all of which I agree with btw!), I wanted to focus on one thing in particular, and that is Linnette's amazing ability to adapt to complications and work behind the scenes to ensure everything runs smoothly. After agreeing on a purchase price with the seller, I hit a snag with my lender, and we had to further work out the details of my loan. This resulted in me having to repeatedly push the closing of my loan to later and later dates. I was concerned that the seller would get nervous this was taking too long, but Linnette took on this obstacle like a champ. She was in constant communication with my lender, the selling agent, and me, ensuring that nobody got cold feet and the deal would eventually go through, and as quickly as possible, given the circumstances. I actually never heard any complaints from the seller or their agent, and I firmly believe that if it weren't for Linnette, the deal would have collapsed and I wouldn't have the great home I have today. As much as we all want the home buying process to be smooth and stress free, it's important to be prepared for the unexpected, and Linnette is more than capable of handling any of the unexpected obstacles you may encounter on your journey to finding the perfect home for you!

My family and I have had the incredible pleasure of working with Linnette Edwards and the fabulous team she works with over the past several years, and we couldn't recommend them more! Linnette was so incredibly supportive and understanding along the way, which is priceless when one is thinking about buying and selling a home...what an emotional roller coaster. Amongst the long list of important qualities that one should look for when choosing a real estate agent, the qualities that stood out for us when working with Linnette were her impeccable expertise and acute ability to read the market, her stellar reputation amongst realtors in the community, her ability to calculate risk and always honor our comfort zone, her intuitive hit on how to represent our home, and her incredibly thoughtful approach about how to make a strong offer. We couldn't recommend Linnette and the incredible Abio Family more!

We worked with Linnette to buy in 2008 and to sell in 2020. Over the years, she has always been there for us to answer real estate questions, offer referrals, and give general advice. She is incredibly patient with her clients, but turns into a shark (a nice shark, but a shark!) when it comes to strategy and negotiations. She got us our house in Berkeley for under asking and then, 12 years later, sold it for over asking. Her team is reliable, professional, and competent. In short: Linnette gets the job done and she gets it done well.

Choosing Linnette to represent us in both purchasing and listing was a business decision. I knew well the positive reputation Linnette had in the field, with both clients and other agents. She's a strategist, with her finger on the pulse of the market. Her business acumen for marketing, timing of sales and negation are unparalleled. She's the agent other agents go to for insight and the one other's trust to get their deals closed. She helped us steer away from transactions that weren't right and, as buyers, helped us win in several multiple offer situations. I had seen her do that for other clients. I expected that. When it came time to list, she blew me away. What she and her team did with our home was transformative. She knew her comps, what the other area agents had coming on the market and exactly what to do and how much to / not to spend to create a home many would pleased to purchase. As a listing agent, she delivered demand, but also quality. The house looked so amazing, that I wanted to buy it back. Needless to say we received multiple offers beyond our listing price, with qualified buyers and smooth close. Ask any other broker in the area and they will tell you, Linnette is top of the class I had high expectations and she exceeded them every time. Every transaction was smooth. There were no surprises or land mines. She listens. She's smart. She has integrity. And, she gets it done. She's the professional other agents would recommend to you.
