“I remember speaking with you when Brookfield initially sent you the referral for me to purchase a home and I told you a little bit about myself and what I was looking for. You said that you would put me in touch with a great Realtor®. Well I want to express to ou my sincere gratitude to you for selecting Linda Traurig. She has been phenomenal and amazingly supportive of me through the entire home buying process holistically. She epitomizes customer service and true business partnership. Linda is completely genuine in her work and motivated by a sincere desire to help others. She demonstrated so much integrity throughout the process – always seeking to do the “right thing.” From the very beginning, Linda has demonstrated first class customer service including: Excellent pre work for the home finding tour, Complete devotion and attentiveness during the tour, Packaging a very personalized offer package for the sellers (far beyond the standard I have seen in my 2 previous home purchases), Walking me through every aspect of the escrow process, Truly acting as my representative while serving as a liaison between the sellers, my lender, the title company and myself, And, even after the closing continuing to follow through with outstanding repair issues and assistance with other miscellaneous “move in,” issues. She has demonstrated superb knowledge and provided me counsel in so many areas related to the relocation process. She understood my needs and proactively offered me assistance in all areas associated with the move. It has been an absolute pleasure to partner with her. She has represented me and just “taken care of it,” on so many issues making it as seamless and smooth as possible for me. She has become a lifelong business associate and I am honored to also call her my friend. I would recommend her to anyone as a first choice for any real estate transaction.”

“We had lived in our home for 34 years and were selling our home to move out-of-state. Not only did we not know where to begin, we were terrified of what we would be facing during this process. Linda and her calming demeanor put us immediately at ease and reassured us that she would be with us though every step of the process, explaining everything in a way that was easy to understand. Her incredible knowledge of our particular market definitely built immediate trust and had nothing but our best interest in mind. She was very methodical in putting together a detailed timeline for us that addressed every possible item we would need to accomplish as well as setting expectations that might have potential obstacles. Fortunately, the sale of our home went along without a hitch because of Linda’s impressive ability to communicate, regardless of day or time to us and various contractors. We had many questions along the way and Linda patiently answered each and every one, professionally and with care. In the end, we had many over-ask offers and with Linda’s guidance were able to sell our home at an optimum price. We would recommend Linda 100% to anybody looking to sell their home. If we hadn’t moved out of state, we would be using her to find us a new home based on the tremendous relationship she has built with us in just a few months.”

“Looking for a Realtor®? Linda Traurig is amazing if you are buying or selling your home. We know first-hand because she helped us sell our home of 28 years in Pleasanton. She worked with us through the entire process of preparing our home for sale to following up after the new owners took possession of the house. The sale of our home was the biggest financial transaction we have ever been through. We trusted Linda to provide professional insights on the current state of the market and on recommendations for making our house most attractive to potential buyers. She did not disappoint! She offered many suggestions on prioritizing what to display and what to put away. She had an excellent group of contacts that helped with painting, inspections, and staging. In our case we were very fortunate to be in a “sellers,” market. However, even in this case, having a Realtor® help you get the maximum sales price is time-consuming and requires someone who is fully in touch with all of the activity in the local area. This knowledge gave us the confidence to follow her guidance through all the negotiations with potential buyers. We could not have been happier with the outcome. All of the credit goes to Linda! Thank you, Linda for making the process so easy and profitable for us!”

“My wife and I are more than happy with the job that Linda Traurig did selling our home. We had a difficult situation, needing to sell our home at the same time as buying a new home across the country (we have several pets which made temporary residence not an option for this transition). To add further to the complexity we needed to work through our relocation company’s various policies. And, throw COVID on top of all of that! Needless to say my wife and I were quite stressed out about how we’d manage to get through all of this. Linda was there every step of they way, making sure everything was done right and on time. She is also very well versed when dealing with relocation policies, and on more than one occasion helped us resolve sticking points with the relocation company. Linda has a great sense of how to prepare a home for sale, i.e., what’s the best bang for the buck when remodeling and staging. At the end of the day, we were ecstatic about the results. We got well above our expectation in the sales price, and managed a rent back situation that allowed us to close on our new home across the country so that we could transitions seamlessly. We highly recommend Linda’s services and would not think twice to work with her again. Thanks so much.”

“We are writing this note to express our candid personal gratitude to Linda Traurig as our real estate professional in our hunt for a dram home. Linda was so responsive to our needs, that it made us wonder how she can stay on top of everything for all of her clients! Everything that Linda provided us was invaluable and above and beyond in the area of customer service. We also have found a friend in Linda; she really cares and strives to do the best for her clients. We always felt as though we were her only client as she took the time to explain the positives and negatives of any home with her vast real estate knowledge. She made our job easier. She answered many of the hard questions upfront, further heightening our trust in her professionalism in every single step of the home buying process. We found a home in Danville, and lovely place to make our perfect home and raise our children. We don’t think we would have found such a great home in this market, especially in the San Ramon, Danville area. Thanks for Linda, we would recommend her a a “preferred” and top choice real estate professional to anyone buying or selling a home.”

“Message from another Realtor® addressed to my Manager, This office represented the seller at 910 Sherman Way in Pleasanton in which one of your agents, Linda Traurig represented the buyers. This sale closed escrow earlier today. In having represented buyers and sellers of improved and unimproved parcels for more than 10 years, it is rare that I work with another agent or broker that demonstrates the vast expertise and high level of professionalism as your Realtor®, Linda Traurig did. You are to be commended for having such an excellent Realtor® work for your firm. Ms. Traurig rose to the occasion when minor problems arose and was able to calmly explain the possible solutions to her clients and then take action on their behalf. It is indeed a pleasure to have worked with Mr. Traurig on this transaction. It would be a Realtor’s® dream to have every transaction as pleasurable as this one was. My compliments to her for a job well done. I look forward to the opportunity of working together again on another sale.”

“If you are looking for someone to help you not only navigate the home buying process but to help you successfully land a house in this super competitive market, look no further than Linda! In this challenging market, like the Bay Area, you need an agent who is extremely dedicated, well connected and cuts to the chase in order to move fast, negotiate hard and get your office accepted. At the same time, you want someone who is caring and supportive for the smaller things, paint color suggestions, getting contractor quotes and thinking 10 steps ahead to make your home searching, buying and closing process seamless. Linda strikes that perfect balance. We were first time homebuyers navigating an extremely competitive market, getting outbid left and right before we met Linda. Linda was able to help us not only get the house of our dreams, but was there and supportive every step of the way helping us to navigate all things. You will not regret hiring Linda as your Realtor®! “

“Linda, I just wanted to drop you a quick note of Thanks for all your help in making my sisters and my new adventure into real estate investing a true (and profitable!) success. As first time investors, it was especially important to us to find a Realtor® who very quickly understood our special needs, was an outstanding communicator and negotiator both with us and all of the other parties involved, and, above all, was honest and ethical. In you we found all of those qualities and so much more! We could not be more pleased with the results of our first transaction you made the purchase smooth and effortless and the sale you handled just a few months later yielded us results we could only have dreamed about. As we enter our second transaction together, we are confident that it will run as smoothly and be a successful as the first! Here’s to a happy and successful working relationship and may it last for many, many transactions. Again, many Thanks!”
