"We both loved working with Linda when looking for our first home in Oakland . Although we were on a limited budget relative to the cost of a Bay Area home, Linda was willing to spend what seemed like unlimited time with us viewing homes until we found our house. She was a wonderful guide through the whole process, and when we move again, she will be the first person we call". Suzanne Slade and Dave Cherry

"Working with Linda was an absolute joy. When we first met Linda at an open house, we were not quite ready to purchase a home. Having recently moved from Florida, we had been waiting for our home back East to sell prior to starting a serious house-hunt. Right off the bat, we were impressed by the amount of time she invested in us, knowing the situation that we were in. Linda not only offered to send us real estate listings to keep us up-to-date on the status of the market, but also took us out on several neighborhood search outings while we were impatiently waiting for our home to sell. The more we talked to her, the more comfortable we felt that she was the right agent for us. When our home finally sold, we were elated to dive into the home search head-on. Being fairly unfamiliar to the East Bay, our hunt took us from Oakland to Antioch. Linda definitely knows the Bay area. She showed us wonderful neighborhoods in each of the cities we pondered, and we finally ended up targeting an area in Richmond that we would have never had known existed had it not been for Linda. We could not be more thankful that she urged us to consider this neighborhood, for we could not have found a more perfect home. New to the California home-buying process, Linda kept us informed each step of the way and served as an invaluable resource to the California real estate market. While we are ecstatic to be in our new home, we are almost sad that our home search has come to an end. We couldn't have done it without you, Linda! Thanks again for everything!" Ariel and Joey

TESTIMONIALS

"Working with Linda was the most positive part in the process of purchasing our first home. My husband and I were immediately impressed with her professionalism and dependable updates. Her confidence and honesty were reassuring during the stressful periods of the escrow. Another wonderful attribute of Linda is she always made her self available around our busy schedules to meet or discuss any issue. Without a doubt we will recommend her services to family and friends and she will be the first person we call when we resell our home. Thank you again Linda". Lindsay Reynolds and Jesse Madsen

"As a first time homebuyer I had a million questions and not a lot of knowledge on buying a home; but I knew it was time as I had been throwing away a significant amount of money renting for too many years. Additionally, being from the Midwest, I had a difficult time justifying the high price of a home in the Bay Area. Finding the home that met my needs and that I felt justified the cost was a daunting task. Linda Maguire was just the realtor for the job. She answered all of my questions every step of the way - and there were plenty! Linda listened carefully to my "dream list" and never attempted to show me a home that didn't include what I was looking for. She really got to know my tastes along with completely understanding what my budget was. I wasn't surprised when Linda phoned and said she had just the place for me. She was right on the money! I bought the most charming home! The entire process of buying my first home was completely stress free. I'd heard some horror stories on closings, etc. I never felt any concerns and Linda was with me every step of the way. Her knowledge of the home buying process is extraordinary. I highly recommend Linda's expert services to any homebuyer or seller (she'll be listing mine when the time comes). Her professionalism and beautiful personality really made this a very pleasant experience". Jennifer Chase

"Linda was a very understanding real estate agent. She listened to what I wanted in a home and patiently worked with me until I found just what I was looking for. Her attention to every detail from beginning to end was professional and it made the experience a positive one". S. Hyde, Oakland

"When we first came to Linda, we had already been looking at real estate in San Francisco for over a year, despaired at ever being able to buy a place, and were unsure about whether we were ready to take the East Bay plunge. After our first day with her, we felt confident that she understood what we wanted, what we could afford, and what we could and couldn't live with. This proved true on subsequent days touring homes with Linda - every place she showed us fit our criteria, and her familiarity with Oakland neighborhoods was invaluable. We now live in a beautiful condo in a great neighborhood that was in our price range (thanks to some artful negotiating by Linda). She always listened to what we had to say, never pressured us, and walked us through a daunting process in a way that alleviated our fears. Plus, she's still looking out for our interests, even now that the deal is closed and we're all moved in". Bessie Weiss
