Linnette Edwards, REALTOR | The Linnette Team - Abio Properties

My wife and I started our house search one week before our first offer was accepted. We had a lot to learn in a very short amount of time. Even though we were already working with another buyers agent, Linnette took the time to speak with us and provided crucial information about some issues related to the specific location of our home. She knew the exact house and neighborhood very well. Her input was critical for us to make an educated offer on our house. It was clear that she has built long standing relationships with other agents all over the bay and has the right balance of negotiation skills and charm to get the deal done. We'd highly recommend Linnette to anyone looking to purchase property.

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!

The most recent surge in Covid cases across the US caused me to adjust my life in many ways. It hastened my decision to retire (now) and it further encouraged me to change my living circumstances. Therefore, I made the decision to sell my personal residence in Walnut Creek, San Francisco Bay Area. I had been in the residential real estate business myself previously for a number of years so I was very familiar with the business, the challenges of the business, and in particular, the challenge of finding an experienced, detailed, thorough, and strategic realtor. I was very lucky to find all of that and more in Linnette Edwards as a listing agent. I was fist impressed by the marketing and the marketing materials that she had prepared for a home that she had listed in our neighborhood. I could tell her approach and careful detail in the marketing materials was a step above her competitors. After interviewing several brokers to decide who to hire, for me, it was an easy decision. It was not even close. Linnettes knowledge of the area, the current market conditions, and her advice on preparing the home for marketing were strategically spot on. I was most happy with her advice, counsel and guidance and the fact that her entire team had the bandwidth and capabilities to help add value to the home while we were in the process of preparing the home for the market. The improvements that her and her team made to the home before we went to the market really helped show our home in its very best light. If you are looking for a very experienced, thoughtful, hardworking, strategic thinker and marketer, and you want to hire someone who is going to get results for YOU, then hire Linnette Edwards and her team. My experience in both residential and commercial real estate for the last 40 years tells me that Linnette Edwards is a special, rare find. Her experience, market knowledge, marketing, and comprehensive team skills sets, and proven results for Owners, sets her and her team as a clear stand out in the residential real estate world. I could not be more enthusiastic or confident in my recommendation of Linnette Edwards and her team.

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.
