Thanks so much for your months of searching for a townhouse for Jessica and and her new baby.  Your efforts paid off, and they have a wonderful home that perfectly meets their needs, and is so close to us!                                                                         -    Thanks from the Johnseys

Working with your team has been a pleasure
and it helped this go as smooth and as well as it did.
I look forward to selling more of your listings!             - Cynthia Laurendi, Realtor

Team Bizzy Bodies was very committed to working with us, especially with us being in a different state.   All three  bizzy bodies knew what was going on at all times.   The office staff was wonderful and Ann Buroker at Countrywide was a blessing.  We will definitely refer family and friends to TeamBizzyBodies.com!

                                                                       -Andy and Joy Shumake, Crestview, FL

I moved to the US and had ten days to get my life in order.   Team Bizzy Bodies flexed and found me exactly what I was looking for in minimal time.  They also helped me negotiate a price that fell within my budget.   I didn't have to do anything except sign my name!

                                                                       - Aaron Zamora, Destin, FL

  Linda and her team were very creative and really worked hard to get clients and other agents look at our home.   In a difficult market they always remained optimistic and were willing to try new approaches.  We know they went way beyond just the traditional role of a realtor and we were always comfortable that our home was in competent and caring hands!   Thanks so much!  

                                                                 - Jim and Pat Muller, formerly Destin FL and now Long Island NY  

Thank you for all your hard work in getting us our dream house!   Even though it was difficult with us being overseas, you made us feel like we were right there.  Each one of you could pick up our file even if we weren't working directly with you.  You "truly" care about us and we never felt like a customer.  We were made to feel like family and that was and was very important to us.   

                                         -  Sara and James Gaffney, Crestview, FL                                                                                                                                                  

You guys did an excellent job of taking pictures to show the property on the internet.  The sign in the yard with a "call" number about the property was a good idea.  Presenting a chart of the utility costs was a good idea.  Your team is very "customer" oriented.  Thanks for all of your help"

                                                                     - The Hannas, Niceville, FL 

I could not have gotten through this ordeal without the help and knowledge of this team.  They were all so kind to me and that is one of the things I needed.

                                                                       - Bonnie Cooper DeVall, Baton Rouge, LA  

We liked working with Team Bizzy Bodies because we felt that they really wanted us to find a home with the things we needed and desired.  They weren't just trying to sell us any old house.   The entire team was very friendly and willing to work in some not so great conditions (like the big rainstorm!)  We would definitely use them for our next real estate transaction and recommend them to family and friends. 

                                                                        - Brad and Kim Childs, relocated from Melbourne, FL

        When we were relocating from Kentucky to Destin, Linda diligently searched the MLS every day until one day, a new listing popped up, Linda called us and we bought the house that day!  Homes here sell fast and Linda was right on top of it, otherwise we might've lost out on this lovely home that fit all our needs.  It's great having a 'friend” in the real estate business!  Thanks, Linda!

                                                                      -  The Lawsons, Destin, FL   

We toyed with the idea of moving from our cramped townhome to a “real“ home in the country and closer to family.   Linda listed and sold our townhome in record time!  She went out of our way to show it without a lock box as we requested, and screened every potential buyer.  We love our “new” house with a great big yard the kids can play in, and grandma and grandpa are just around the corner!                                                                                                                                                          -  The Smith Family, Crestview

Thanks for taking great care with me and my house!  Can't believe we got MORE than list price!  Great Job!  Thanks!                                                                                                          - Dennis Gill, Sailshare Yacht Charters, Key West FL                                      

Linda sold me the first of many townhomes I plan to purchase.   The price was right and the monthly payments turned out to be less than rent!  With some paint and minor repair work, it's a great first home and a great first investment for an 18-year old!!!                                                        -  Jeremy K, Shalimar                It pays to have friends in the business.  I couldn't have found better Realtors than Linda and Kit who understood my needs.  They made selling my home an easy stress-free experience in less than one week.  I feel sorry for the people who don't find Linda and Kit because they will be missing out on getting to know two wonderful, trustworthy and caring women.                                                                    - K. Brooks, former Destin resident                                                    We searched for months for the PERFECT home.  Linda never gave up as we toured house after house.  She called us everytime something new came up on the MLS and was persistent in her efforts to make us happy in a home of our own.  Our best interest is certainly what Linda had in mind... we're finally in that dream home!  Even though we know lots of other realtors, Linda is always our first choice and we have recommended her highly to everyone we know.  And besides that, we've become great friends!                                    -  J. J. B. Warner, Ft. Walton Beach

Sold within a week - was I impressed!  Linda came in and turned my bachelor pad into an irresistible couple's retreat and within a month I had my profit in my pocket.  Now we send recommendations back and forth and both profit from each other's business!

Comments from colleagues and clients when Linda was awarded the Women's Council of Realtors Emerald Coast Chapter "2007 REALTOR OF THE YEAR" award:

 "You deserve that award, Linda!! I've said it before and I'll say it again ... you are (by far!!) the hardest working woman I have ever met in my life -- and the majority of what you do is FOR OTHERS, whether it be for WCR, your Sellers, your Buyers, your husband, your friends ... you make a difference in every life you touch and you never slow down!!  No one else even comes close to matching what you do!! In my humble opinion, you won HANDS-DOWN!!"

Linda - this is so wonderful for you!  I am so proud of you and proud to call you a friend of mine!  - Sharon May, friend and client, Destin, FL 

 

Dear Linda,

" I miss our get togethers.  I'm not sure if you have seen the commercial on TV when the lady is thanking her realtor for  working with her and showing her like 25 houses.  Bill and I both laugh because I said I should be on that commercial with Linda, we had that lady beat the first week we looked.   Still appreciate so much all the time you have put in for us."

                                                                                    Michelle Holcomb, Niceville, FL    

        Linda,

I want to give you a BIG'Thank You' for your persistence and dedication in helping me find that right house/ location.  Before we met I felt alone and confused; I had a lot of people telling me what to do or what I should do, which ultimately got me more confused and discouraged.  When I came online with you, it was YOU who cut out all of the bull and held my hand...which I truly needed.  Your up-front opinions and flowing, elaborate ideas made the house hunt exciting and fun.  Seems like I was looking for houses with a friend that knew about the real estate business really well.

I'll definitly have to call you when I plan on making big changes to the house...to make sure I don't do something wrong for resale.  I already have ideas for bathroom that I might have to pass by ya.  

                                                                        -Bryan Weiss, Eglin AFB, FL

P.S. ----  I know I didn't look or seemed excited when we finished closing, but I was. My hands were clamy, and a million things going on in my mind.  But I was excited and happy...just didn't know how to show it. :)

I didn't like ONE thing about working with Linda.... I liked EVERYTHING!  She provided me with great communication, went above and beyond, took care of my house as if it was her own.  She personally handled many, many, many details in preparing my house for the market including repairs, maintenance, beutification, etc.  I would definitely welcome the opportunity to work with Linda again and will refer her to friends and family without fail!

                                            -  Sincerely, Kathryn Perta, Destin homeowner, Pennsylvania resident  

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Linda,

You are super!  Great communication, which we found critical when making life decisions such as purchasing a home.  It made us feel comfortable knowing someone is looking out for our best interest.  It was a pleasure working with you and we hope we can do another transation in the very near future! 

                                                  Thanks!  Sincerely, Michael and Evelyn Whalen, Freeport, FL

Dear Linda,

We wanted to take this opportunity to thank you for helping us in the recent purchase of our new home in Pensacola.  The quality of service that you provided was courteous, professional and encouraging.  You are a delight to work with, you work hard and smart.  You talked to us truthfully and successfully accomplished the transaction.  We would recommend you, Linda, to anyone who is serious about buying or selling real estate in NW Florida.  You made a difficult time much simpler and less stressful.  We thank you so very much for making our home buying experience a successful venture.  Your pleasant personality, unbelievable patience, negotiation capabilities, and dependability was extremely appreciated.  We expect a visit when we're all moved in!

                                                               - Phil and Priscilla Robbins

TRASH CAN TITLE!  Meredith King of American Land Title instructs Carla Gambla where to sign to take ownership of a million dollar Watercolor home!  "Can't come upstairs" Carla says, "kids are in the car!"  Seriously, though, Linda, you were always there to help us with anything from the moment you answered the phone that Sunday afternoon in the spring.  We value your professional skills as a Realtor and are happy to call you our "good friend in Destin".  If we ever have a referral, you will definitely be the ONLY person we send people to!  Thanks for everything!   

                                                           - Steve and Carla Gambla, Lake Zurich, IL

Linda, Jean and Penny were always available to discuss concerns, and offered assistance in keeping an eye on the house while I went on vacation.  I would definitely use the team in another transaction and refer them to others.  They were excellent!
