When I sold my home in Stilwell, I went to Linda for help. She did quite a few open houses and brochures, always looking to update the information on the fliers as well. She was also the one I went to when it came time to purchase my new home. She was very helpful and determined to help me find what I was looking for. We searched for months on end and she was always upbeat and positive.
Linda is good at listening, very patient and understanding. It was a truly enjoyable experience and her knowledge of the areas I was searching in was invaluable. (Carla Sapienza)
Now that we are finally getting settled, we wanted to take a minute to thank you for all that you did for us. We knew when we first met you at the open house in Leawood that you would be great to work with! You were so friendly and approachable.
Patience, tolerance, and endurance are virtues everyone is taught - thank heaven you learned them so well! You hung in there through months of searching until you found just the right house for us. We're glad you didn't get discouraged or show any sign of giving up. We will never regret the houses we "missed out on" because we ended up with just what we wanted.
Once we did find the right house, you were so supportive. During the bidding and contract phase, then throughout the inspection, negotiation, and repair phase, you were always available, at times that were convenient for us. Your offers to make appointments and then meet and follow-up with inspectors made the whole process so easy! You have a real talent for putting things in perspective too. There were no problems to worry about because you were always there to listen and make sure all the details were under control.
Of course, we know how lucky we were to sell our old home so quickly. But we are convinced it wouldn't have happened without you. You knew just how to price and market it so that we got lots of buyers in quickly. Then, just like our buying experience, you made our sale go smoothly. You even got out of your "death-bed" (when you were sick with that nasty stomach virus) to help us out. Your stamina is amazing!
So again, a thousand thanks for all that you did! I will definitely recommend you to anyone looking for a hard-working agent. (Nancy and Ken, Prairie Village)
"When I first began looking for a new home in southern Johnson County, I had the good fortune to visit an open house hosted by Linda DeGraeve. As a new homebuyer in the area I had many concerns and questions about this part of the county and wanted to take the time necessary to investigate the available options and make an informed decision. She was, in a word, welcoming. I learned very quickly that Linda sells Stilwell because she knows and lives in Stilwell. She was very knowledgeable regarding the various neighborhood areas and service providers in the Stilwell area. She was also most helpful with questions specific to county living. After finding the right home and writing a contract there are inevitably issues that arise which must be resolved between the potential buyer and seller. Even though the sellers had their own realtor, Linda took the lead every time to resolve problems and keep the transaction on track. I was glad Linda was "on my side" and am happy to recommend her services and talent to anyone looking for the right real estate in southern Johnson County". (Tony Kuehler, Stilwell) "Linda made my home buying experience fun and successful. She worked around my hectic schedule to show me house that fit my expectations. Then she helped me in all aspects of my purchase from negotiating the offers, checking on financing, getting inspections, following up after any repairs were performed, and all the paperwork right to closing. I was able to close easily because Linda made sure I was ready. She has been a great agent, and a great friend!" (John, Paola) "When we decided to sell our lake house and move back to Kansas city, my husband and I wanted to take our time and make sure to find "just the right place". We didn't want to hire a realtor right away, because that would mean we were "serious". So, we spent weekends checking the real estate section of the Sunday paper and driving around looking at "open houses". It was on one of these Sundays that we met Linda DeGraeve at an open house. Although that particular house was not the one we were looking for, Linda asked for our list of requirements. We rattled off everything we were looking for in our new house and she said she would call us if she found anything. Two weeks later, she DID call and she said she had found us the "perfect place". Of course, we were skeptical, but we met her there just the same. True to her word, Linda had found us everything we had asked for. It was our "WOW" house, as we called it. We fell in love with it right away. Linda was the perfect realtor throughout the whole process. She advised us regarding the negotiations and inspections. She even called and set up the inspections and met us there for each one. She went above and beyond the realm of realtor in more than one instance, and we truly appreciated her efforts. My husband and I really believe that luck was on our side that Sunday we just happened to meet Linda at that open house. It was evident from the start that Linda has listened to our needs and then went out and searched to find a house that met them. I would recommend Linda DeGraeve to anyone needing a realtor".
