Linda did a fantastic job of listening to our needs and wants. We were on a tricky timeline on a property we were initially looking at in Burlingame and she gave us the lay of the land on the market and what was likely going to happen on that home. We just didn't think it was worth the money and walked away. Meanwhile, Linda had just the property in mind for us elsewhere on the Peninsula that met all of our wants and more. She brought our rather specific offer to the table and was able to represent us excellently and we ended up getting an amazing house at an amazing price.
Linda has been super helpful throughout the process. She helped us find a great house, guided us throughout the buying process and is still in touch with us to make sure everything is great with the house. She has always been super responsive, has lots and lots of experience and provides great advices. For example, she managed to schedule a foundation inspection for our house within a day notice, so we could submit an offer on time with the peace of mind that the house was sound. She also joined us for the signing, something our loan broker mentioned is so rare these days. I would recommend her to anyone who’s looking to buy a property in the Bay Area. Thanks again Linda!
I can’t thank Linda enough for her professionalism, dedication and tenacity for a property in Burlingame, California that I was responsible as the administrator of my relative's estate, while I was living in Austin, Texas. There were challenges along the way that included newly-discovered structural issues as well determining the best way to market the property to get top dollar without unnecessary expenditures. The daunting process of probate was simplified with Linda's level of probate expertise, bringing a successful close of escrow with the least amount of stress. Linda’s communications with me were always handled in a a way I knew I made the right decision in selecting her to handle the listing. I would not hesitate to obtain Linda's services in the future, or to recommend Linda Ryan King.
The process of buying a home can be scary and confusing at times. With Linda, those problems never arose. Throughout the six months of searching for a place to call my own, she earnestly sifted through the low inventory in the Bay Area in a tough market, trying to find the perfect spot for me. She dedicated countless hours visiting open houses, sifting through comps and spotting any glaring problems with potential places I liked. She calmed my worries about the entire process and explained everything in a way that I could best understand. Linda was honest and realistic with me, giving me the best chance when I found a place I wanted to make an offer on. I felt a very personal connection with her. She treated me more like a son than a client. She was less concerned with her commission than she was finding me the perfect place to lay my head and call my home. Once I was fortunate enough to find a condo in my price range and desired city, she handled all the heavy lifting and legal red tape so that I didn’t have to. She even helped suggest interior design options that would fit well into the layout of my condo. Whether you’re in the market for an investment property or a forever home, Linda is the real estate agent to go to. 10/10 would recommend to anyone. Thank you Linda!
Linda adds a personal touch to the home buying experience. The process of buying a home in this market was grueling. Linda was very patient and dedicated to helping us find the right home. She had creative ideas to offer including considering a 1031 tax exchange. Linda helped us get the perfect home for us and we couldn't be more thrilled with the outcome. After we got the house, Linda had a wealth of resources and ideas for improvements. She really cares about her clients and felt like a partner throughout this process. We will use Linda again!
When working with Linda I feel completely confident she has my best interests in mind. She did a great job of hearing our requirements for a new home and translating that into touring open houses that were within our price range. She gave really solid advice on whether it would be possible or not to remodel, and provided us with references to honest contractors that did great work at a reasonable rate. I have recommended her to friends and will definitely ask for her help with my next home transition.
I have had several real estate transactions with Linda and throughout my history of buying and selling homes I have never before had an agent that I felt actually added value to the process. Linda is extremely engaged and on top of getting the house ready for sale. She has a whole toolbox of contractors that are fair priced and quick to respond to get the home in pristine condition quickly! Linda actively SOLD my home, she did not just list it and sell it to the first low-baller that came along to collect her commission, which can often be the case in this industry. In buying my next home Linda was a top notch negotiator fighting every angle to get us what we wanted! I love working with Linda, her energy and spirit make the grueling process of real estate fun! I am on my fifth home and the best endorsement I can give Linda is she is the first real estate agent I have ever engaged a second time! When I am ready to sell, she will get another call!
Need to buy a house in a day? That was us! Need to sell your home in 3 weeks? We did. Linda Ryan King was our realtor. And it was her quick thinking and experience that allowed us to successfully find the home of our dreams while simultaneously selling ours quickly. Her skillful negotiating helped us purchase a property that had five other offers and her effective marketing brought in over 300 visitors to our own house. In this competitive Bay Area market others may talk about good service but we experienced it first hand. It is such a good feeling to work with someone with the experience and talent you can trust with the most important investment in life-your home.
Linda has worked with our family on 4 real estate transactions in the last 13 years. In every case she has listened to our needs, found the best fit in terms of the deal, and has been an excellent resource throughout the process, as well as providing assistance after the transaction. And, she is a pleasure to spend time with!
I write this testimony with great pleasure. Linda Ryan King possesses the depth of experience and wealth of knowledge that’s invaluable in today’s ever changing and challenging real estate market. Linda over the past several years represented me on the sale of several residential homes. While acting as my agent, she proved herself to be diligent, creative, and dedicated in marketing my properties. Because of her length of service in the profession, Linda can quickly recognize and guide her clients through unique, difficult, and challenging situations. As long as I’ve known her, she has always acted in a professional manner, is a very sincere person, and has always provided dedicated service to her client and profession.
