Five Stars is not enough; there should be "+" signs or Exclamation marks to add. NO kidding, if there is a rating Higher than 5 Stars, Linda would get it. Seriously. Where is she weak? She isn't. Succinctly put she is a Real Estate agent who doesn't just have all the skills needed to successfully market and sell a property, Linda OWNS them. Seriously. Prior to listing, and after submitting to me her CMA of the property, she asked for and studied the Appraisal which I had done by a Member of "The Appraisal Institute". After studying it, Linda thought that the appraisal amount was "low", her value estimate coming it some $40,000 higher. Because she was to be my Real Estate Agent, I allowed her to list it at the higher price she thought we could get. She inspected the house; took some photos. Returned a second time, this time to clean some things, stage other things for just the right appearance, took additional pictures at the right time of day to better show off each and every feature of this property. In a low keyed way she explained the selling process and at each step along the way, kept me very well informed either by phone, email, or by text. This assured me throughout the process that she was on top of everything and that I had nothing to worry about. It also assured that I had no stress anywhere along the way. If I had a question, she had the answer, or, got back to very promptly with the answer. Upon listing the property, she scheduled an Open House for a couple days after the listing "went live". That morning, my phone let out with the sound it makes indicating I have received a message. A short time later, another sound. A bit later, another, and another. Yes, we had several multiple offers from verified, qualified buyers, most before 3PM of the Open House. Wow. That evening she asked to meet and to go over all the details and nuances of each of the offers, explaining the "psychology" of the offers and of our response. As it turned out, the "cleanest offer" was also the highest offer, and the one to accept. At time of the Home Inspection - She was there. An old oil tank was found in a sub basement; the tank not having been used in 30+ years. Not only did she advise me that it's possible the "buyers" would want it removed or want a credit to have it removed, she also already had spoken with a licensed, bonded Company who does that work and had a price from them. The inspection also spoke of a Wasp nests in two places near the eaves. Again, when she relayed that information to me, she also already had a Company in place who would get rid of that issue. At the time of the Buyers Appraisal, again, Linda was there with plenty of Market Date available to supply the Appraiser to help assure that the property "appraised out". Could I be more pleased? If so, I honestly could not tell you how. One thing that I was not able to watch or listen in on was her negotiation skills, but I can say she actively managed not only the offer which I accepted, but also each of the other, four offers, keeping them alive should our contract "fall apart". That in itself takes outstanding negotiation skills. In the end, out contract held, and Linda Lee's strong all around skills and work ethic rewarded me well for choosing her as my Listing Agent. Her listing Closed for some $25,000 above list price. read more

Linda Lee was the real estate agent for the sale of our house during the spring of 2014. We had been living there (on the northwest side of Chicago) for 30 years. So we had no idea what to do. From the day we listed with her until the day we moved, she meticulously guided us through the whole process. She sensitively concentrates on her clients' needs, and explains everything in easily-understood terminology. She personally handled the staging and photography. When I looked at the pictures, I was amazed at how our house had become a "showcase". She knows how to accentuate the positive. Our house was properly priced because of her suggestions, and very early on, we had serious offers. We listed on April 2nd. We moved on June 2nd. TWO MONTHS!! INCREDIBLE!! She assisted with all of the legalities, and gave us practical moving suggestions. Linda is a professional who knows how to fulfill the needs of her clients in a very timely manner. Our anxieties diminished greatly, because we could contact her at any time, and she would address our concerns. I wish all customer service agents possessed her integrity. Put your trust in her and you will be rewarded with a positive and professional experience----just like we were. read more

Linda went above and beyond in listing and selling our rental property in Des Plaines. Even though she was on vacation when we first decided to reach out to her and ask her to be our real estate agent, she picked up her phone and took down all the necessary information to start the process. Linda promptly reached out to us when she got back from vacation to schedule an appointment to view and list the house. Once we signed the contract, Linda went far above and beyond her responsibilities as a real estate agent with assisting us in the sale of the property. From multiple stops at the property to ensure its cleanliness, meeting up with appraiser and inspector, purchasing necessities on our behalf for the property (I just had a baby and my husband was traveling out of town), buying tax stamps for closing, and doing her best to lower any stress we had over the sale. She helped us in ways that a real estate agent is not expected to help her clients and we are extremely happy with her service to us. Thank you Linda for all you did and we will definitely be reaching out to you again when we're ready to sell a property again! read more

Last fall, I was faced with a quick decision selling my townhome in Wheeling, while being essentially out-of-town. In fact, it was Linda who helped me find and buy the Wheeling townhome 18 years prior which I now had to sell. Amazingly, I was able to find her contact info on the internet and sent her an email in the wee morning hours. She responded the next morning, and we were able to begin the process of pricing, listing and selling my home, working within a narrow window and actual face time, since I was living out of town. Linda was very knowledgeable about the local market, took professional photos of my property to attract buyers. Even though it was off-season, Linda was able to generate multiple showings, and multiple offers. I ended up accepting a cash offer over the listing price. In all, it was less than three weeks from listing to closing! Linda even picked me up from the airport from out of town and drove me to some crucial appointments needed in the sale process. I would not hesitate in recommending Linda for your real estate needs! read more

Linda was recommended to us from a friend and I'm so glad she was! We used her for both selling and buying. Linda immediately comes across as very knowledgeable and for our first meeting she had already done a bit of research in our area and laid out the process and expectations very clearly. She was very patient while we looked around to buy and as she started to get a better idea of what we were looking for she would tailor her recommendations based on that. She stood by and supported all of our decisions when it came to negotiations. She also remembered our daughters birthday and got us a little gift! She was very wonderful and If you're night owls like us we were able to reach her late at night to talk through most of our questions which worked really well with our schedules! read more

I have called upon Linda Lee to sell two different properties for me over the past six years and I would definitely call on her again for future real estate transactions. Linda is always great in keeping me informed, especially while I was living long distance. She is very knowledgeable and is very proactive in following up and making sure that things are getting done, so that there is nothing to hold up the closing. She is high energy and is a go-getter and does everything she can from preparing thorough CMAs to staging and advising changes that would help with the sale of the house. Linda is an excellent negotiator and states all the facts to reach a fair price. It is obvious that Linda enjoys her work and her many years of experience truly shows that she knows her stuff! read more

The Park Ridge home we were selling was over 80 years old, in need of repair, and we lived fifty miles away. Linda contacted many builders she knew so she could help us price it correctly. Our home sold in three days on MLS to a builder who will do the remodeling. She guided us every step of the way from advising us on "fixing up the house to sell" to the closing. She responded promptly to all our phone messages and emails, and even found a legal team for us to use in the area. Linda's experience as a realtor was certainly evident, and I would recommend her to anyone selling a home. Marcia H read more

My family has listed several properties with Linda Lee and she has always done a thorough job of providing comps and helping us get ready to sell. She's been in real estate so long that she knows when to sell, how to prepare, what to list the property at, and what it will sell for. We have always gotten our selling price, and we always had prompt replies to our questions and texts. You will not find a more honest, hard-working realtor. Years back, Linda also gave my church a CMA for the Youth Education Bldg. when we sold it. We got an offer the day it was listed for the full price. read more

Linda was amazing to work with! The market is tough right now and our budget did not seem to be flexible enough to buy in the location we wanted and needed.
