Linda - Real Estate Agent

Business Philosophy

The most important part of my job is listening to my clients, understanding their needs and helping them achieve their goals of either selling or buying a home successfully, happily and with a minimum of stress and anxiety. Since the majority of my business comes from friends and personal and business referrals, it is very important that I provide attentive service and knowledge so that my clients are at ease with the process. I really enjoy what I do and hopefully that enthusiasm is imparted to the people with whom I work.

Personal Background

A born and bred New Yorker until moving to Montclair in 1970, my husband and I came to Montclair to visit friends and bought their house! We have loved the community and the lasting friendships that we have made. Our two children attended Montclair Public Schools and the best testimony to the town is that I am now selling homes to their friends. I get to watch another generation raise their families here!
