Homes Of Distinction Realty

I first chose Linda / Homes of Distinction because the Google reviews were amazing... they described "personal service" that went "above and beyond" -- which is the EXACT experience I had -- of all the real estate people I have dealt with in my life [and there have been a lot] -- this was by far and away the best experience EVER.

Linda went above and beyond at EVERY turn -- from the initial marketing of the house, to the pricing of the house... to "talking me in off the ledge" a couple of times, to making sure everything was as it said it was, to making sure things were up to code.

There is not a single detail that was too small to gain Linda's attention, and she executed on those details with absolute precision. Things started to get a bit weird around the closing -- Linda handled it with expert competence [me? not so much].

There is no way I can express my complete gratitude to Linda / Homes of Distinction for the tireless work and consummate professionalism. If the rest of the real estate brokers [or for that matter -- human beings] were like Linda -- the world would be a far, FAR better place!!

I originally posted this review on Google 3 years ago. Since that time I have purchased houses for 2 of my kids as well as myself. I knew Linda was good, but I seriously had no idea just how amazing she is!!!

By far, the best real estate agent with whom I have ever worked!!!!

My only regret is that this system only has 5 stars -- Linda deserves at LEAST 7!!

We met Linda at one of our first open houses at the beginning of 2013. Linda was the listing agent of that property, which we did not care for. She then inquired if we needed a buyer's agent -- we didn't start off needing one, but figured it wouldn't hurt.

Unlike my past experience with another agent in another town who only made me sign papers that binded me to using her without much benefit to my end, Linda started working with us immediately without any binders. Also unlike my last agent who did nothing more than showing up with a means of access (i.e. could not answer any question about the property), Linda came to our subsequent showings punctually and fully prepared: she took careful notes of our wish list, studied the recent history on a potential property before showing us (and would offer to pull permits/paperwork as proof of major work done), had the comps available for our reference, and gave us professional input on which "blemishes" were acceptable and which were the red flags. As first-time homebuyers, we found her guidance and opinions very useful and valuable -- we always learned something new at each showing!

Throughout our house-hunting journey, we found that Linda was not just here to sell us any house so she could collect her commission check; she was here to educate us as buyers, and we could feel that she genuinely wanted us to be happy and comfortable with what we wanted to buy. Her motto is "If this is not the one for you, there will be one down the road." Linda always took notes of our feedback at each showing, and would leave the decision to us. She never pressured us into doing anything we were not comfortable with, and she was utterly respectful to our personal styles and opinions.

Overall, Linda never comes across as a "sales rep" to us; she shows genuine care about her clients, from each and every showing to the signing papers stage. Linda has great work ethics, and would make sure that she is readily available to answer any questions or concerns in the process. Linda is naturally a warm and caring person, but she is also capable of maintaining the professionalism in her trade. Linda had not only done a superb job in helping us find and purchase our first home that should last many years to come, she had also become an ally and a friend whom we can trust down the road. We could not have been luckier that we met her by chance! We would recommend Linda Dillon from Homes of Distinction Realty to anyone without hesitation.
