I would like to strongly recommend Linda Solomich as both a buyers and sellers agent for real estate transactions in the Maryland area. During the spring of 2014, my wife and I worked with Linda to relocate from Montgomery County, Maryland to Howard County, Maryland, in order to move into a larger home closer to my work. Complicating our desire was the need to move during the late spring (to minimize disruption to school-age kids in elementary school), offset by the requirement to be settled prior to the start of summer before the birth of a new baby. Linda did an outstanding job at helping us get our existing home on the market quickly and efficiently, while simultaneously helping us to identify areas where we would be happy and homes that fit our needs and aspirations. On the sell-side, Linda could not have been better. She made clear, well-reasoned recommendations on how to prepare our home for sale, and invested strategically in marketing materials that really highlighted the house. Her analysis of the existing market helped us make an educated decision when setting the asking price, balancing our desire to sell quickly with maximizing the value of our largest asset. The results speak for themselves. Our house was under contract only 8 days after listing, and closed at a settlement price that was 99.6% of our ask! As a buyers agent, Linda was extremely helpful throughout the process from prioritizing areas to look, finding attractive potential homes, and eventually bidding on, inspecting, and closing on our next home. Her negotiating, organizational, and professional skills were nicely complimented by very practical (and I would say common-sense driven) thinking and suggestions. The home we eventually purchased had been a rental property for a few years, and she was great at helping us think through the implications of that dynamic in terms of inspections, pricing, and expectations. At the end of the day, Lindas strong efforts and skills were the enabling factor that allowed our family of five (now six!) to successfully go from (thinking about moving) in late January to being settled in a new house in our most desired location by late May. The new house we purchased is great, and exactly what we were looking for when we began the process. She was continuously available to help us look at homes or answer questions, and was a fantastic partner throughout the process. I would happily work with her again, and strongly recommend her.
