TESTIMONIALS

Phil L.

Linda helped us sell our Edwardsville home and was extremely helpful, open, transparent, and reliable through the entire process.

Jaime A.

It was great working with Linda. She is responsive and efficient in setting up showings. I looked at many styles of homes and was impressed with her structural knowledge. I will only work with her in the future.

Kylee L.

Linda has been a great asset in our home sale process. Selling a home from afar is no easy task, and Linda helped relieve a lot of that stress and anxiety. She has been a great communicator and very reliable. I would highly recommend Linda on a professional level for your real estate needs.

Patrick S.

Personable, reliable, and responsive. It is impossible to not like Linda. It has been an absolute pleasure working with her.

Deanna C.

This is the second time that I have asked Linda to sell a home for me. Additionally, I referred her to two of my friends who needed to sell their homes. She is dedicated to getting the job done! I wouldn't refer just anyone to my friends. I will continue to endorse her.

Douglas P.

Linda was our real estate agent through buying our first home, then selling and buying our new home. She helped us find exactly what we were looking for in a home and did an excellent job negotiating on our behalf. When we listed our home she gave us simple ideas to increase the appeal of our home, and it was sold within a month of listing. Through the whole process she told us exactly what needed to be done, was always available, and made us feel comfortable and assured. She is an agent that works for you. I have recommened her to my friends and family, and I would recommend her to anyone in the market in the Metro East area. Thanks Linda!!

Lindsey F.

Linda was great at helping us pick the first investment property. She spent countless hours showing us different houses in various price points to help guide us and our expectations that has educated us for future purchases.

James D.

Linda was great! We went in to the process of buying our first investment property knowing very little about what exactly we were looking for. Linda showed us several different properties and went into detail with advantages and disadvantages of each one in regards to renting it out. Her knowledge and experience really helped us set expectations for what we are looking for in our future purchases. I would recommend Linda to anyone looking to buy or sell!

Wendy S.

Since moving to the Edwardsville area in 1994, we have worked with Linda Shaffer on the buying and selling involved in the three house moves we have made. She was great to work with and made the process as easy as it can be. She was unfailing patient with us and listened to our needs. If we were to move again, Linda would certainly be the first person we would contact.

Chris B.

Fantastic service!! Its nice to deal with somebody that genuinely cares about your family's needs. Being a first time buyer, it was great that she helped with the inspection process and was available anytime we had questions. Highly recommend! Love the new house, thanks Linda!!

Patti B.

Linda sold our home in Staunton which had been on the market for quite a while and with a number of different agencies. When our buyer first showed interest in our home Linda worked very hard to make it happen. She is knowledgeable and stays on task. We would use Linda's services again in the future.

Craig R.

Linda did a great job in presenting multiple different houses in our price range. She was always very responsive to my concerns even when I was frustarted with some financing developments Linda maintained her composure at all times and was great to work with. I would highly recommend her to other home buyers or sellers. I will deal with her again

Jim F.

We had a very good experience working with Linda. She was very knowledgeable and clear in explaining the process of preparing our home for sale. She was patient with a rather extended period of time between our initial discussion and actual home listing.

Elaine F.

Thanks to Linda we were able to reach a quick sale, with reasonable negotiations, and experienced the caring, guidance, and professionalism of a seasoned realtor. Passing our home on after 22 years was an important life transition. Linda Shaffer made that transition a celebration ! Thanks Linda , from Lee and Jim F.

Linda is an asset to have as your realtor when you are purchasing a home in the Edwardsville/Glen Carbon area. She is knowledgeable of the area. Due to her good reputation and experience, she has strong relationships with locals which makes your purchase that much easier and solid.

Thanks for your help in our home-buying process!

Maire W.

Linda is an outstanding agent. She helped us find our home initially. When it was time to sell, we did not hesitate to have her as our listing agent. Her knowledge is superior. We felt very comfortable with her recommendations. We recommend her. A true pleasure to work with.

C.V.

Linda took care of everything we needed and helped us buy the perfect house!

Maire W

"Linda was a joy to work with. She helped us find this home originally. Trusted her to list it when it was time to sell. Very helpful. Easy to talk to.

Sandy K.

Linda has sold two houses for me, she is wonderful to work with and goes above and beyond. She is very knowledgeable, reliable and someone you can trust to get the job done. I cannot say enough good things about her. Thanks Linda.

Pete F.

Linda was able to sell a home that had been listed previously. She analyzed the market and suggested a selling price that was higher than what we thought we could get since it had not sold previously. She generated interest and traffic flow through the house and it was sold about 90 days after she listed it. She knows the market and she negotiated through and handled every concern that arose along the way. She was candid with things we needed to do for the house and as importantly, things we didn't need to do such as a complete repaint. We never felt we were just another listing with her. We were treated as if we were her only listing.

JAMES M.

Linda was great! Her dedication got our house sold in under a months time.

Wayne E.

We have used Linda for both buying and selling homes. She has provided great service. She knows the local market and has the skills to insure that the whole real estate process goes well.

CHRISTOPHER D.

Linda knew and understood my situation and worked with me.

Doug R.

I have known Linda for over 20 years but had not used her as an agent, I moved out of Illinois 19 years ago and am now moving back. I saw Linda's name on one of sign and called her. I am so happy I used her as our agent. With out her I don't think the deal would have closed. Between the lender and the title company nothing was going right. Linda called them, got back to me and we got things corrected. She worked with the seller on the inspection and relayed things back to me. She had to calm me down several time over things that, I thought,were going wrong. Like I said, without her the deal wouldn't have closed. She knows her industry, the people in that industry, and is very easy to work with. I would recommend her as a selling agent or a buyers agent. Thank you Linda for all you did for us.

Michelle H.

"My friendship with Linda started months before she listed my house. She knocked on my door one Sunday after an open house a few doors up from me, someone inquired about my house. She said she knew it wasn't for sale but told me about the inquiry. My husband Gary was not in good health and wanted me to sell the house, coincidence . She gave me her card and said if I ever wanted to sell please think of her. Under normal circumstances I would have tossed the card but didn't. Something about her impressed me.
My husband passed away the end of Jan., 2019, a few months passed and I knew it was time, got Linda's card , called , and the rest is history!! She listed the house but put it on the back burner temporarily. I told her I wanted one of the condos in Fox Creek and she jumped on it, sent out letters to the condo owners and lo and behold , she got a response! We looked, I wrote and again she took over. Her timing and patience with me throughout this whole procedure was fantastic, I really could not have done this without Linda. When I moved from the house into the condo she knew I was never going back in there and she took care of it all. The cleaning, the staging, landscaping, open houses, everything and anything that needed to be done, she did.
Honestly, I can't say enough good things about Linda, she is a friend and we will always stay in touch. I would and do recommend her to anyone I can, love to tell the letters to condo owners story, people I tell think that's great! Please know that everything I said is from my heart and there is no other agent I would use or recommend. I used to sell real estate so I know a great agent and Linda is truly that !!
Sincerely,
Michele L. Heflin"

Marissa S.

Linda was very knowledgeable and always available for questions. She worked hard to make sure we found what we wanted and made sure our house sold quick!

Howard A.

"Linda did an exceptional job of selling my home. Her assessments of value was well considered and resulted in my desired quick buyer interest. I had an offer in hand 5 days after listing. That's when Linda really got to work. She coordinated the entire sale and closing process while keeping me clearly informed of progress. I can recommend Linda without hesitation"

Scott R.

She was very professional, extremely nice and welcoming, the house looked and smelled great during the open house. She's overall a great realtor.

Chance S.

Linda is a fantastic real estate professional and will help ensure the home buying process goes as smoothly as possible. She is knowledgeable, focused, and resourceful when it came to purchasing my first home. She has great communication skills and was in constant contact with my wife and I throughout the entire process. I highly recommend her and look forward to working with her again in the future.

Doctor David L.

Linda is very meticulous and pays careful attention to detail. She goes the extra mile to make sure you have a smooth transaction. I would recommend Linda to anyone who wants to buy a home or is selling their own home without any reservation.

Bin Z.

We started working with Linda since 1995 when we bought our first home in this area. Since then, we have bought three more houses and sold three homes too. Every time, we went back to Linda for help and advice. This is because she is professional as well as personable. She just has the right amount of all the elements which makes us feel comfortable to work with her. She also introduces to us some people in the area to help us do home repairer work. We will be leaving the area for an overseas retirement living in a few years. I bet we are going to see Linda again to sell our current home (if she will still be working in the industry)!

Wendy S.

We have worked with Linda several times over the last 25 years. We did not consider going anywhere else, as she more than meets all our expectations. I would not hesitate to recommend her to others. She is very professional, and responsive, and takes our needs into consideration. A pleasure to work with!

Greg M.

Linda is very professional and knows the issues that may occur during a real estate transaction. She is very helpful and will go out of her way to make sure everything runs smoothly. Linda knows the market thoroughly and is easy to talk with should any questions arise. I would definitely use her as my agent with any future real estate matters. Greg M.

Katelyn S.

Linda was such a pleasure to work with. We were first time home buyers and she helped us find the perfect home within our preferred location and budget. She is very professional, quick to reply and extremely knowledgeable about the market. She went above and beyond to make sure our experience went as smoothly as possible. Would absolutely recommend her for those looking to buy or sell.

Jim E.

Linda was great. Rarely does someone follow up after the ink is dried on the contract. Linda followed up and went beyond her responsibility as an agent. Being an Engineer it is very important to follow up and Linda passed the the test. Most important she worked on my behalf not pressuring me with cheap offers just to make a sale. A true professional in her field. I highly recommend Linda.
