We met with a number of brokers before Linda Bent, many of whom did not seem to understand or fit with our needs and personalities. Linda was friendly, respectful, and professional, was prompt and clear with communication, and, importantly, put our
needs and desires first in sending us listings, as well as when we visited houses. She was patient throughout the process, answered all of our questions, and validated concerns that we had without dismissing them. She made it clear with her words and actions that she was committed to our success in the homebuying process -- whatever "success" meant to us -- and that she would work with us until we found it. She made us feel more confident throughout the process because of her knowledge of real estate in general and of the local market in particular. We are very happy that Linda was our broker through our first homebuying experience....
