It’s always easier to sell yourself when other people are doing the talking for you. I’ve been fortunate to work with a lot of great people, many of whom
have been kind enough to write to me after the sale or purchase of their home. Here’s what some of them had to say:

I was not a real estate newbie when I hired Linda. In over 30 years in San Francisco, I had moved up from an apartment, to a studio, to a pretty good triplex, then to a great house in Cole Valley. I wish I had known Linda much sooner.

Friends I trusted had recommended Linda. & they said: “Trust Linda, do what she says.” But I am not that kind of guy. I learned. Linda is detail-oriented, “right on it”. She does what she says she will do WHEN she says she will do it (& ALL her subs, stagers, cleaners, painters, etc…the cast of thousands you need to sell no matter how good a property at the top level these days…were the same).

Nobody can deliver like Linda. Nobody. Her ideas for fixing up & staging the house were right on, & implemented immediately. I hope you never have to find out how rare that is.

Her people skills are remarkable. I may not be the easiest guy to get along with (just ask my exes & my ex-bosses….no, don’t). Linda listens generously, advises wisely, & compromises justly. I don’t know how anyone can do better than that.

She helped me (I had no idea) price my house sensibly, & we got more than two dozen offers, all way over asking, right away. My wonderful & deeply missed house sold almost immediately for more than I had dared hope, to someone I feel good about.

Negotiations which can be esoteric & nerve-wracking but with Linda they were sane & relatively simple. Linda guided me through them calmly, clearly, & patiently. I feel like I am leaving my friends & neighbors with a great new neighbor & I hope that I have made a new friend.

LINDA IS THE BEST THERE IS.

Let me begin by saying that I am perhaps the worst combination of characteristics with which a real estate agent could be presented in a buyer – I am a lawyer and I was a first-time buyer. Linda S. Gordon came HIGHLY RECOMMENDED to me by friends who are painfully familiar with the challange I presented. She has proven to be a TRUE GIFT to this “high maintenance” client.

Linda’s enthusiasum and commitment are infectious, and her knowledge of the real estate market (both properties and individuals) in the San Francisco area is astounding. She is clear, concise, articulate and straightforward – everything this lawyer could want in a partner through the challenge of buying her first home.

Linda has a heart of gold when it comes to her clients and flint hard Michigan determination when it’s time to negotiate a deal. No other realtor will take the sale of your property or your search for that dream home as seriously as Linda. Comprehensive marketing, top quality advertising and plain hard work – you need Linda on your side!

Tough as nails when it comes to making a deal, nothing is more important to Linda than her clients. Linda is an exceptional person and I strongly recommend you get her on your side.

LINDA FAR EXCEEDED OUR EXPECTATIONS on every level. From managing every step of the process to selling our house quickly for an amazing price. Linda is quite simply the best real estate agent in San Francisco!

In addition, her level of professionalism & attention to details is UNMATCHED and her ability to market our house was superb. Linda convinced us that we follow her suggestions for painting, improvements, & staging our home…we were thrilled with the results… Linda had the vision to see our before & after down to every detail.

Linda’s COMMITMENT to selling our house went above & beyond the call of duty, from “staging” the inside to “gardening” outside. Her intimate professional knowledge of the real estate market was key in helping to price and market the property. Linda’s energy and proactive attitude made this sale our most satisfying real estate experience. We’d like everyone to know that Linda is the best Real Estate agent in San Francisco!

The duplex I listed with Linda Gordon sold for way over asking with seven above-asking bids after approximately one week on the market. I believe Linda’s representation played a large role in that successful result. Linda is an enthusiastic agent who cares about her clients and is manifestly committed to her work. She gets things done, is meticulous with details, and return calls promptly. Linda’s ENTHUSIASM, attention to detail, and responsiveness was amazing. I highly recommend her to anyone who is considering selling their home, or buying for that matter.

Linda S. Gordon was the BEST of three real estate agents that I interviewed, all came highly recommended, and I am convinced that I could not have a better real estate agent in San Francisco than Linda. She has all the qualities one expects from a highly qualified professional: experience, knowledge, integrity, and an excellent track record. What makes Linda not just good but GREAT is that she truly LOVES HER WORK! It shows in her drive, her willingness to go the extra mile to get things done right and she is energetic, smart, and resourceful enough to make PERFECTION POSSIBLE.

Linda not only listened patiently to my concerns —and because I was a first time Seller, I had many—but she also told me clearly and gently encouraged me to do what she knew was necessary to achieve the best outcome for me. From painting to staging to replacing appliances, new carpet, new kitchen flooring, making the garden magical, and to being a highly skilled negotiator, Linda insisted on my being a partner in the sale of my home, my most valuable financial asset. And from the very beginning of our partnership, Linda made me feel that my property and I were her number one priority.

I am very grateful to Linda for guiding me through to a stunningly successful sale. My advice to anyone fortunate enough to have Linda represent his or her property for Sellers or Buyers is to “LISTEN TO LINDA”… YOU WILL NOT REGRET IT.”

When asked who our agent is, we always take great pride in saying “LINDA S. GORDON”. We have had the pleasure of working with Linda both as Buyers and Sellers over the past several years. Each time, LINDA DELIVERED RESULTS that we did not dream possible. There are many reasons why Linda is so wonderful, but most important is her TRUE DEDICATION to her clients. We have always felt 100% confident in the San Francisco real estate market because WE HAD LINDA IN OUR CORNER. If you need us to expound on the virtues of Linda… just let us know! We would be happy to detail our extreme happiness with the GREATEST REAL ESTATE AGENT on earth! ”

With clockwork precision, Linda’s VISION gave my house a dramatic facelift. She generated drop dead curb appeal which continued indoors showing the attributes of the property in their best light. Home buyers saw a better looking house than I can recall living in the past ten years! Linda is a consummate professional!”
Bill Gibbs, CEO Wyders Cyder

I can’t say enough about Linda! From the minute you start working with her, she completely dedicates herself to making your dreams come true. First she sold my condo – then she made my dream come true -buying a charming Victorian home with a white picket fence. Linda is a great agent ! I would recommend Linda to anyone interested in working with an agent who MAKES YOU FEEL as if you are her most IMPORTANT client!”

Linda found our dream home two years ago, and when we needed to sell our home this Spring, we would never have listed with anyone else. Choosing to work with Linda was the best decision we could have made. Linda’s vision was impeccable! Her staging design experience gave our house a beautiful transformation! One prospective buyer exclaimed, ‘It looks like a movie set!’ We had quite a few offers and the price soared over asking! Linda’s INTELLIGENCE, DEDICATION, CREATIVITY, and KINDNESS made our experience wonderful. In the process of buying and selling our home Linda was more than our agent, she also became our trusted friend. If you are looking to hire the best agent, then call Linda! Linda is Simply the Best!”

We can’t thank Linda enough for everything she did to help us buy our new house! From the beginning, she counseled us to make sure we were comfortable making the purchase. At every stage, she made sure everything would happen on time. We were very impressed with Linda’s FOLL0W-UP – she knows how to get things done! Congratulations on being named the best realtor in the Bay Area – it’s an honor we agree is well deserved!”

Linda really knows the market and has a deep UNDERSTANDING OF the PERSONAL DYNAMICS involved in the process of buying and selling a home. Linda took the time to get to know me and to understand what I was looking for. So when it came time to bid on a home, she was able to take the extra steps and add the little personal touches that won over the sellers and got my offer accepted. I could not possibly say enough in praise of the creativity, enthusiasm, and care that Linda devoted to every step of the process.”

Linda Gordon is the greatest! We began our search for a new home in a terribly impacted Sellers’ market where desirable properties were being sold the same day they were listed – for way over the asking price. Linda kept us calm throughout the process with her unending professionalism and heartfelt client attentiveness. Put simply, Linda provides the highest quality of service we have ever encountered. Linda’s PROACTIVE APPROACH got us the home of our dreams. We consider ourselves fortunate to have had the benefit of Linda’s talented service.”
