I called Linda Carlstrom about 18 months ago to inquire about listing my house in North Venice. I told her that family circumstances might take a while to resolve, and they sure did! But she was patient and understanding til finally I could list the house, and Linda was great. It can be difficult doing business long distance, but she was responsive and thorough. She kept me up-to-date as we went along, offering suggestions and never rushing my decisions. Linda was a great help in getting my place ready to sell and listing it at a price that found me a buyer very quickly.  I'm so pleased with her wonderful service and would definitely recommend her to anyone looking to buy or sell a home.

When looking at real estate companies, I was impressed with your story and success.  I was very excited to use a female-owned company and the service we received was stellar.  I called the office, was asked a few simple questions, and received a call from Linda that same day.  Having very little knowledge of the area between Sarasota and Cape Coral, I had a ton of questions for Linda.  She answered them all patiently and with knowledge.  She asked pointed questions about what we were looking for in a property and most importantly, she LISTENED to us.  Linda understood our desire to explore the area and knew we were in no rush to buy something.  We had a short window of just one week to travel to the area and she had several great properties lined up for us from one end of the county to the other!  We had a whirlwind first day which was informative, productive, and FUN! With the crazy FL market, I thought we were going to strike out on buying something, but that was OK because we had fallen in love with the area and knew after many years and lots of searching that Venice was going to be our target point. Long story short, on our last morning in FL a property popped on the market.  It was perfect!  The sellers did not want to do any showings because the weather was awful, but Linda worked her magic, got us in late that afternoon, and we wrote a contract that evening.  She knew it was going to be a very popular property with the potential for multiple offers, so she suggested giving the sellers only until early the next morning to accept or decline our offer.  It worked and we got the property. Since the signed contract and our closing,  Linda has continued to go above and beyond to help us.  She has been wonderful communicating with the seller's agent, provided all documents needed to keep our "snowbird" renter happy and in place,  and even gave up a Friday night to hang out at the condo with the cable guy!

I recently had the great experience of working with Linda Lewis Carlstrom, who was the buyer’s agent in the transaction. As a mortgage broker, I work with many agents every day and it was refreshing to have such a high level of support and engagement from the agent. Linda was always there to assist her buyer, to assist the lender as needed, and consistently had the needs of her buyer client at the forefront. For any potential homeowners, I commend Linda, because when you’re buying the home, making an offer and signing a contract is just part of it. Having an agent who will roll up their sleeves and get involved to make sure the entire process is a great experience is rare and invaluable. From my perspective, Linda is one of the best, and I would recommend her for any potential home buyers out there.

My husband and I recently purchased a property in Venice, FL using Linda Carlstrom as our agent and your company.  We had the best experience.   When looking at real estate companies, I was impressed with your story and success.  I was very excited to use a female owned company and the service we received was stellar.  I called the office, was asked a few simple questions, and received a call from Linda that same day.  Having very little knowledge of the area between Sarasota and Cape Coral, I had a ton of questions for Linda.  She answered them all patiently and with knowledge.  She asked pointed questions about what we were looking for in a property and most importantly, she LISTENED to us.  Linda understood our desire to explore the area and knew we were in no rush to buy something.  We had a short window of just one week to travel to the area and she had several great properties lined up for us from one end of the county to the other!  We had a whirlwind first day which was informative, productive, and FUN!

We would definitely recommend your company to anyone who asks and will be using Linda when/if we purchase another property in the area. Sincerely, Brian and Melanie Weiler

I have nothing but praise for Linda Carlstromand the way she handled the sale of our property.  She was very informative, helpful, knowledgeable, and handled all transactions in a very professional manner. I couldn't have asked for more. She had a wonderful personality and actually became not only my agent but a new friend in a very short time.  

I can't say enough respectable things about how our last listing was handled by Linda Carlstrum.  Even though this was a relatively small listing she treated it like it was worth a hundred times more.  Efficient and interested in what we were doing.  If in the future were we ever in need of real estate services your office is definitely the first one we would call on. 

Linda was awesome, she helped us in everyway possible to sell our home. Linda sold our home in less than 24 hours. You want a go getter real-estate agent, call Lind Carlstrom!! Thanks for everything!

Working with Michael and Laurel to find our new dream home in a very challenging Sarasota market was the most pleasant Realestate experience I have ever had. I had complete confidence in their knowledge of the market, and they were agile enough to get us into the homes we wanted to see promptly. When we decided to buy, they were able to execute with both speed and accuracy, and gave us expert advice allowing us to successfully secure the house we wanted.

I wanted to thank Linda so much for her help in getting us our new home! If anyone is looking for a reliable realtor, look no further! She was always available to show us properties and when I found one that I really liked, she took me there right away! Her negotiations won us the house when there were multiple offers too! Linda also referred me to a great team of people that worked together to make our closing easy and seamless and in less than a month!!! The whole process was so easy using online signatures too! Thank you for all your help, even over the holidays! You're terrific!
