We found working with Linda to be a great and rewarding experience. There was an abundance of patience and instead of pressure we received only exceptional service. In our opinion [Linda] should win the [Century 21 Quality Service] prize again this year. We have really enjoyed working with her and do not see how she might have made things any easier for us, especially from 8,000 miles away. Vince and Maura B. - Dhahran, Saudi Arabia and Battle Ground, WA Trying to find a new home while living afar is a difficult and stressful task. Early this year [2003] we made two trips to Vancouver from Santa Fe, New Mexico, to scout both neighborhoods and homes prices, and tried to establish a long-distance working relationship with a realtor from another company. Communication, responsive and timely communication, was so very important to us, and we were less than satisfied with what we felt was our first realtors lack of time dedicated to us. We chose Linda Jacobs off of an internet search for realtors in Vancouver; the first hook was her [toll free phone] line and her lively, user-friendly Internet site. Once we spoke with her on the phone we decided to switch realtors. Linda's enthusiasm and forceful statement [of her] commitment to out-of-town buyers assured us that this relationship would be both professional and successful. In the next few weeks we made several requests for Linda to preview homes that we found on the Internet, and to take photos and email them to us. She complied with each request, and helped us develop a list of potential properties prior to our third trip to Vancouver. Our time was valuable; we now had one week to find a home to meet our needs. During our visit, Linda and her husband/business partner Dan, devoted their time to us, spent long days with us, and offered useful information about community services, utilities, neighborhoods, and the like. In one week we found a wonderful home, offered a purchase proposal that Linda presented to the sellers, had it accepted, and arranged for a home inspection - all before we caught our return flight to Santa Fe. In short, both Linda and Dan Jacobs provided professional, timely, personal assistance with our new home purchase. Most important, they made us feel welcome in our new community. Sharon B. and Kevin A. - Vancouver, WA We originally planned to move to Washington within two years if we could find a satisfactory property with our special needs, but we were in no hurry. We wanted a home that permitted our Daughter and Son-in-Law to live with us, yet separated. We also wanted a country home with a few acres of forested land. On our trips to Washington, Linda Jacobs searched for suitable properties and showed us several properties that were acceptable, but not exactly what we wanted. In August, she showed us a home that had just come on the market. It was a lovely home with two completely separate living quarters. Each had a kitchen, laundry room, office, bedrooms, bathrooms, etc. Linda had listened to our needs and searched for suitable properties. Since we had to travel about 400 miles to look at properties, Linda was sure that the places were the type we desired so we would not waste a trip. On the second trip we had found what we wanted. The only problem was that there was another offer that was being presented to the seller on the same day for around the same offer price as ours. Linda's presentation to the sellers must have been outstanding, because the other offer was for cash and ours included a lease-purchase agreement contingent on the sale of our home in Oregon. We were the sellers choice! Above and beyond our expectations, Linda led us through the purchase process, made arrangements for inspections and mortgage, as well as assisting us with all the various paperwork. Through Linda's thorough understanding of our desires and her outstanding professionalism, we are now the proud and happy owners of the home we dreamed of! Harry and Jean H. - Washougal, WA We would recommend Linda Jacobs wholeheartedly to anyone needing a real estate agent. She goes a step further than she needs to, every time. She went way over and beyond the call of duty. She held our hands and put up with our endless phone calls, questions and catered to our every need. Moving 3000 miles we really needed a friend and she is just that. She has become more than a real estate agent, she has become a friend we feel we can rely on. Tanga C. and Michael D. - Camas, WA We are so thankful that we picked Linda Jacobs to be our Realtor. Not only did she go "over and above" in selling our house, she also found the perfect house for us to buy. In just a few months she helped us sell our house and buy the house of our dreams! We couldn't be happier and we could not have done it without her. She became more than a Realtor through this process, she became our good friend. We would recommend her to anyone looking to buy or sell a house. Jim and Sharon W. - Washougal, WA We are a private and reserved couple with very definite opinions of honesty, integrity, and professionalism. Linda Jacobs could be a poster child for these attributes. Her warm no-nonsense approach put us at ease and whatever preconceptions or misgivings we might have had with regard to working with a professional realtor, Linda put to rest immediately. She understood how overwhelming a task finding a new home can be and was able to reduce everything to a proper perspective. If we had a question she couldn't readily answer, she said so and then proceeded to find the right answer or answers for us. We looked at quite a few homes before we found the perfect one for us and throughout the process Linda couldn't have been more helpful, supportive and understanding. If you are looking for the genuine article in the way of a realtor who cares, who has your interests at heart, then Linda Jacobs is the professional for you! Jim and Terri H. - Battle Ground, WA Linda Jacobs helped us find our first home in an area we've never lived in before. We found her to be friendly, patient, helpful, generous, and knowledgeable about the area. She treated us like a concerned friend.                    Albert and Paige M. - Vancouver, WA                                                           We put our home on the market with Linda Jacobs on September 17th, 2001. After the tragedy of September 11th, we didn't know what the market would be like and were concerned if we would be able to sell our home. Our fears were unfounded as Linda sold our house in 45 days at full price with us paying some of the buyers' closing costs. We still netted over $7,000 of our minimum desired sales price. She handled everything in a timely and professional manner. She attended the escrow closing with us and kept us informed throughout the transaction. She attended and arranged all inspections and appraisals. We whole-heartedly recommend her to our family and friends and would use her services again. Dan and Diane J. - Vancouver, WA Linda went the extra mile in finding us a home. We were very picky in our search. She never wavered in her commitment to us even though we took over three months to find our house. She sent us daily updates of new listings, so we could get a jump on finding the perfect home for us. We appreciated her patience, honesty and professionalism.                                                                                   Jim and Rita W. - Vancouver, WA All the Client Testimonials shown above are in their entirety and may be edited for clarification as shown with brackets [sample].
