My family just experienced the most professional and pleasurable experience with Linda Driggs, her assistant Renn and the dedication of the Michael Saunders & Co. real estate firm. Our condo unit was marketed using gorgeous photography, an enticing description and extensive area coverage. Linda went above and beyond, especially since we are in New York - she took control as if it were her own unit to sell. A buyer was found quickly and the closing went smoother than expected. We are genuinely thankful for having made this connection and would highly recommend Linda and her team to anyone looking to buy or sell.
Linda is exceptional! From staging to marketing to closing, no detail goes unnoticed. Her professionalism and charisma made listing our home with her a pleasure. The support from her assistant, Chantelle, also played a big role in the sale of our home. The two work together seamlessly. We know who we’ll immediately turn to for our next Real Estate transaction.
Having worked with Linda on both the buying and selling of deals large and small, I can comfortably say she is one of the best in the business. Someone who tells it like it is- and gets things done!
First class treatment and service from linda from start to finish! Very professional realtor that listens to your needs and gets the job done.
My experience the last 5 months with Linda Driggs was truly a wonderful experience. She truly wonderful working with. She helps with the sale of my home and finding the house I truly love, she is a wonderful friend and little things she has done to go out of her way to move in my house. I truly want to thank her. She is truly a 5 star sales person.
Thank you Linda for your professionalism, hard work and dedication to making our home sale experience a smooth and successful one. Regards Tom and Gay
Bought & sold two houses with Linda. She will find you what you are looking for!
Linda and her team were very professional and our home was sold in a short time , Her preparation in staging and excellent brochure were instrumental in the sale.
Linda is the consummate real estate professional. She is very efficient and knowledgeable. She made a process that can be unwieldy, and time consuming, straight forward while always keeping us informed. She made excellent marketing suggestions and developed a terrific sales plan that resulted in a quick sale at a reasonable price. You couldn’t ask for better service from a realtor and her accommodating staff. As a bonus, Linda and Michael Saunders Company are committed to making our community a better place to live and not just the bottom line.
If you’re thinking of relocating to the Sarasota area, Linda Driggs is your best resource. Not only is she an outstanding RE agent, she’s your partner through all of the steps in relocating and establishing residency in FL. Knowledgeable. Professional. Honest. Fully vested in your goals as if they were her own.
Linda and Chantelle were amazing through the whole process of finding and purchasing a home in Lakewood Ranch. We had a very short time frame to find a home that worked for our family and they really came through for us.
We were referred to Linda by a mutual acquaintance and she helped us in finding a rental condo for our move to Sarasota. Although that type of transaction is not her "bread and butter", she took the time--not only to assist in the finding the perfect unit, but also timely answered every question and provided very helpful information. I am a commercial real estate developer and have dealt with innumerable real estate agents over the last 40 years. I can unequivocally state that Linda is one of the best.
You did it again! Thanks for ensuring that all of our expectations were met on the recent sale of our home in Country Club at Lakewood Ranch. When we initially bought this home we relied on you to scope out the market and assess all the conditions …….you made that happen. We couldn’t think of anyone more qualified to resale our home than you. You, along with your company, have the expertise and backing that gives us the comfort level that the transaction will ‘always’ get done.
I really enjoyed working with Linda Driggs in my search for a Florida condo. She was extremely organized, incredibly energetic, and very knowledgeable about the market place. She was successful in locating the perfect property for my family and made the entire process fun. Linda's attention to detail and follow up on every issue related to closing was invaluable since we were doing so from out of state. My wife and I now consider Linda not only our realtor but also our friend.
We are so glad that Linda was recommended to us to find our new home. Linda is a pleasure to work with and so knowledgeable about the market. She turned our “wish list” for a property into a reality. Linda is a true professional and on top of every detail. When Linda says "I will do all I can to help you", she means it! She made our home buying experience easy. We appreciate all she did for us!
it is Susan’s and my turn to thank you and Chantelle for your kindness, your time, your expertise, your diligence and your attention to detail. You made our home buying experience go smoothly and flawlessly . We always felt prepared and supported. Your recommendations were insightful and clear and we were confident that we had an experienced professional team behind us. You are truly ambassadors for Lakewood Ranch and Michael Saunders & Company. If you ever need a further endorsement just let us know. Now that we are neighbors, we look forward to running into you around town. Thanks again. Ken and Susan
Linda and her crew were extremely responses to our needs with our move. She tried to make a stressful time less so. She always answered our questions honestly. She was helpful to go to the condo and take measurements upon request. We can’t wait to meet her in person. She is someone I could easily become a friend with. Andrea Lipson
We were very pleased with Linda and her assistant Chantelle. Linda's knowledge proved invaluable in getting our home sold. Her marketing techniques definitely helped in the sale of our home. Linda and her team were always available to speak, text or email. Linda is completely focused and very professional. We will continue to recommend her to our friends.
We sold our last home with Linda in 2009. Despite the fact that our home was being listed at the beginning of the economic downturn and showings were few and far between, Linda's resolve to help us sell never faltered. She worked very hard to expose our home to as many buyers as she could. She was always patient and professional despite the difficult times. We stuck it out with Linda for far longer than other sellers would have and against the advice we got from many well-meaning folks who advised us to switch realtors if we weren't selling. Eventually our patience and her hard work were rewarded with a very good offer and sale. We would use Linda again and always recommend her to our friends.
We wanted to take this opportunity to express our deepest gratitude & appreciation to Sara Boudarga, along with Chantelle & Linda, for an absolutely seamless home-buying experience. Sara is a perfect delight, & is extremely knowledgeable about the Florida real estate market. Her expert guidance & assistant, all along the way, allowed us to feel completely comfortable & confident in finding our dream home. Sara was able to address each one of our questions & concerns, & she helped keep us on top of all scheduled and/or required timelines. We could not imagine being in better hands & would, without ANY hesitation, recommend Sara & the team to anyone looking for a new home.
Linda Driggs and her team are true professionals. Their expertise with the market truly helped sell my house at a great profit. Linda's persistence and positive attitude help make the selling transaction seamless. Linda and her team are excellent real estate agents and great people to work with. I highly recommend them for selling or buying your property.
Linda is the most personable Realtor I know. She is honest, hard-working and her smile is contagious!
We enjoyed working with the energetic Linda Driggs. She is highly professional and does a beautiful picture portfolio of your house. She outlines what will be done and in what time-frame. She responds in a timely fashion and keeps one apprised of showings with feedback. From the time we signed our contract and closed, we were kept informed of everything that needed to be completed. I highly recommend Linda and her assistant Chantelle if you plan to list your house.
This testimonial comes from a mortgage lender who has provided financing for some of her clients. Linda is one of the most committed, hard working, ethical and professional persons I have had the pleasure of working with. She always gives her clients 100% and is one of the best negotiators you would want to have on your side. Highly recommend her.
Linda is the most professional, thoughtful, and patient realtor we have ever worked with. After driving her crazy for 15+ years, she finally found us a property on Siesta Key that we love! Most realtors would have given up on us long before that, but not Linda. If there was a way to give her 10 stars, we would. We are proud to call Linda not only our realtor, but our friend. She is truly the loveliest camellia the State of Alabama has ever produced.
Linda Driggs is one ef the most pleasant, friendly, efficient realtors that my husband and I have ever had the good fortune to know! She is an attribute to your company! Alice & Marvin Agran, University Park, Fl
Linda and her team were amazing. The process of buying a home can be completely overwhelming. However, their dedication, knowledge and professionalism gave me the confidence I needed while purchasing my home. With empathy and compassion, the team supported my journey and I couldn't be more grateful.
Linda Driggs recently assisted in the sale of my father’s home on Siesta Key. Her level of effort, communication and professionalism throughout the process was exemplary. She really went above and beyond to help my father get the home sold so that he could start his new life in Colorado. We truly appreciated her assistance, and highly recommend her.
Linda is the real deal! A true professional. She doesn't just list your home. She does all the right things to make the sale happen. Her contacts & support people are outstanding. If the seller or buyer need to find a resource in Sarasota, she can make it happen. Linda found a buyer for our home in University Park in less than one week. If you want to buy or sell a home in the greater Sarasota area, you could not to better than the Linda Driggs Team. John & Phyllis Arlen
Linda Driggs was an excellent realtor for our home search in Sarasota. We were relocating from Tampa and were not familiar with the area. Linda spent time educating us about all of our options in regards to neighborhoods and the current Sarasota market. We ultimately ended up downtown Sarasota and could not be happier with our choice. We are thankful for Linda’s guidance and expertise throughout the entire process!
Linda ended up being so much more than just a realtor. We were new to the area and Linda spent a lot of time taking us around different areas to help us get acclimated to the area and the various neighborhoods. She has a solid understanding of everything that is Sarasota, which really helped us with our search. Linda’s assistant Chantelle was also a pleasure to work with. Overall a very pleasant experience and of course we purchase a great home in the neighborhood we loved!
Michael, this is just a quick thank you for recommending Linda Driggs and her team. They sold our Lakewood Ranch home. From start to finish these people deserve a big thank you: Linda Driggs, Bernadette, Renn and Jennifer Crawford at the title office. What a wonderful team you have!
"Linda and her team were great! We couldn't have asked for a more friendly, knowledgeable, and professional team of people to help find us a new home. I highly recommend Linda when buying or selling a home in Sarasota."
Selling our property with Linda and her partner was a great experience. After our initial meeting, we knew she was the realtor we wanted to market our home -- professional, detail-oriented, personable, with an excellent track record. They made sure every detail was attended to and the results showed -- the house sold in 3 weeks! The marketing materials were beautiful and every showing was scheduled with our realtor present so questions could be answered on the spot. At closing, I was presented with the most thoughtful gift, a beautiful painting of our dog, which Linda, a wonderful artist, painted herself! We loved it! Linda would definitely be my first choice should I need a realtor at any time in the future.
I've worked with Linda for 20 + years. She is thorough, committed, and makes everything about real estate about your needs. In addition to her excellence as a Realtor, she is committed to supporting others, charities, and personal growth! Her marketing (and market) knowledge, and expertise on how to showcase her client's property are few other qualities she excels at doing. I highly recommend Linda!
Linda Driggs is the best. We listed our home with Linda, and it was under contract in just six days, with two offers. She is the perfect professional, always keeping her client's interests in mind.
Linda Driggs is a superb realtor! Her years of experience were very obvious from what we needed to do to sell our house but also knew the housing market well. She paid attention to every detail. She is kind and caring as well. We would highly recommend her.
Simply put , Linda Driggs is the best Realtor ever ! She went way above and beyond my expectations in helping me with a difficult sale . She even staged my house with her own furniture to enhance the property . She is energetic , hard working , a great communicator and thoroughly professional , I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her to anyone . Thanks Linda for all the hard work and encouragement .
Best realtor ever. She found our perfect property after a 1year unsuccessful search by myself. She helped with numerous unusual issues such as a cattle lease and renter and well system and furniture purchase. She met with us in person every time when necessary, and accomplished all necessary agreements without having any deadlines. She helped us successfully negotiate the best terms with the seller. She is the only one I would want to use in the future in sarasota for any real estate purchase.
We could not have had a better experience in selling our home. Linda's thoughtfulness and professionalism made moving from our home of 30 years a lot easier than we anticipated. I wish only that I could give her 10 stars as she deserves every one of them. Kevin W. O'Neil MD
First-class, classy and knows her business and our market! I had the pleasure of meeting and working with Linda after choosing her off the internet in 2006. She works smartly for her clients and is a true blue.
I had a very unique home to sell on Siesta Key which required real talent to market. It was an authentic Mexican style home which proved difficult to sell. Linda assisted us in staging and appealing to a greater market of buyers. The brochure was very professionally designed and she was always willing to go the extra mile to make sure we got as much exposure as possible. Needless to say, after being on the market for the previous year, our home sold in 18 days with Linda. She and her associate, Chantelle, were always there for us, answering our calls promptly and making sure the transaction closed smoothly. I am highly recommending her and her team to market your home. I'm sure it will be as wonderful an experience as we encountered.
Linda and her entire amazing team worked with great professionalism and efficiency to make the process of selling our home, that had been in the family for almost a century, as easy and painless as possible. They knew the market well and were able to advise accordingly. Their advice was always spot on and all their work and expertise delivered an over asking price offer within almost just hours of hitting the market. I can’t stress strongly enough just how impressed and pleased with their service and the results we were. It is without hesitation that we would highly recommend Linda and her entire team.
Linda gets a 5 star. Her team including Sara and Chantelle were outstanding. Everything was kept moving and on line for a successful outcome and I knew always exactly where we were as the communication was excellent. I have bought and sold about 10 residences and this transaction was easily the best managed by my realtor. Linda, Sara and Chantelle—they were all great and I would recommend them highly.
She's a "big bug."
Linda Driggs recently represented us on the sale of my wife’s house and the purchase of our new home. We could not have had a better experience. Linda helped us find our new house quickly, and coordinated our offer and purchase procedure in an easygoing, yet very professional manner. She was attentive to our needs and available at a moment’s notice to help with any issue that came up. I highly recommend Linda Driggs to anyone looking to sell their house or buy a new one.
Well, we just received the $$ a short time ago, so I guess our work together on this project is just about over. I’m going to miss talking and working with all of you. I just wanted to let you know that I appreciate all the outstanding work you did for Jean and me to get to where we are today. You are extremely professional, hardworking, and thorough in everything you do. You are an amazing team and just a pleasure to work with. You made the whole process as painless and enjoyable as possible. I will not hesitate to recommend you any chance I get.
Linda Driggs is a pleasure to deal with, very competent, and very knowledgeable! We consider her a friend not just a Real Estate Agent! Alice & Marv Agran
My experience with Linda the last 5 months has really been great. She been a truly great friend to me! I don't know what I do with her help getting through the sale of my penthouse and finding a home I truly like. And extra little things to help me move into my house . She is a truly a 5 star Sales person . I want thank u Micheal Saunder's.
In a single word, "Fabulous" is the best way to describe working with Linda and her team! From the moment I contacted her about selling my house to signing the papers at closing, I had no doubt that I was getting 5 star treatment. I was under contract within 2 1/2 days after being listed, with a cash backup offer. I received clear and regular communication from Linda, Sara and Chantelle every step of the process which made selling my house much less stressful. I will continue to use Linda for my real estate needs!
Our house was under contract in about 30 days. Linda was absolutely the greatest person to work with. Linda is like the "Energizer Bunny" always running. Linda was extremely professional and the advertising she provided was outstanding. Her contacts throughout the real estate world seem endless. Linda seems to always be available or makes time to be available to answer any questions or provide assistance. She is extremely knowledgeable about the market and what the market is doing. Linda also looks out for your best interest during the sale and all the way through the closing. We would highly recommend her to anyone looking to sell a house.
Linda is absolutely fabulous. We had the best real estate experience ever.
Linda was very helpful in helping us focus on what we really wanted in a home and a community. She was always available to answer questions and to allay fears. She is extremely knowledgeable about Sarasota and the surrounding communities.Would definitely recommend Linda to anyone looking to buy in Sarasota.
My experience with Linda has been nothing but wonderful. She has been nothing but consider it to me helpful! I rate her 5 star's all the way. Thank u Bill Tobin.
Linda was instrumental in helping us find our home in Sarasota in 2015, we moved from Boston and did not know the area well. Linda took us everywhere we were interested in and helped us narrow down our choices to what what right for our family. She negotiated well and we got a great price. Recently, we had to unexpectedly move to Michigan after only 2 years in our new home for an excellent career opportunity. We enlisted Linda to help us sell the same house we bought working with her, and for the sale Linda and Chantelle Hidalgo (Linda’s fantastic assistant) helped us every step of the way. We had to move to Michigan before the house went on the market so that was a stressful process and they were both there for us every step of the way. Linda and Chantelle helped us handle any complications or repairs that needed to be done while we were far away and that is true professionalism and commitment. We are so happy Linda negotiated quite well with the buyers and our house sold.
Linda is the BEST! Her attention to detail is amazing. I would highly recommend Linda and her team .
Linda is an intelligent, energetic professional who obviously enjoys working with people. We have been pleased that she has represented our property and has brought it to a happy conclusion for both seller and buyer.
Linda prepared an outstanding search for properties we would be interested in prior to our visit to Florida. Once we arrived, we toured all of those properties in one day which was fabulous.Then the next day we reviewed the properties we were interested in taking a second look at. This was a really big help to us.Once we decided on the property we wanted, she went to work to get us this condo for the best price ! What a great help and experience it was working with Linda. I am sure glad we were recommended to her. Bill and Lynn Hemmer
Linda Driggs is a consummate professional, organized and detail oriented. We received timely and frequent updates. The brochures for our home were so beautifully done that they generated a lot of interest in our home. We would happily use Linda as our agent again.
Patty and I have to give Linda a big 5 STARS for her excellent service. First she provided us with a first class education as to the city of Sarasota and its surrounds after which she began to show us properties that were consistent with our needs and desires. We found the Michael Saunders web site invaluable for providing us access to all of the properties of interest to us. And Linda was always willing to answer all of our questions about each and everyone of the many properties that attracted our attention and was willing to show any of them to us. She speedily and cheerfully answered each and everyone of our many phone calls. Finally as we were prepared to place an offer, Linda helped us understand tax issues related to the various developments as well as HOA and other associated fees and costs - some of which were hard to spot. All in all, we could not have found a more effective, efficient and cheerful agent! As such, we are without any reservations in recommending Linda Driggs and giving her five stars.
Congratulations on another outstanding year!
I am very pleased to write this testimonial at the request of our great friend and realtor Linda Driggs. We met Linda when we moved to Sarasota from Dallas Tx some twenty years ago. My husband John joined a group of runners Linda ran with and next thing we knew Linda became our friend and she made sure that we became part of the running community. And so it ensued that she became both our Buyer’s Agent and Seller’s Agent of choice six times since then. In the past few months she represented us in the sale of our home and the purchase of our new condo. As a Buyer’s Agent, Linda goes through great lengths to determine likes, dislikes, neighborhood preferences and predetermined price priorities etc. Using this knowledge she shows only properties that fit making the difficult process of buying a home easier and faster. This time was no exception as we found a condo under construction on the bay with sunset views unparalleled! As a Seller’s Agent, her expertise in the value and pricing of property ensures that the property does not stay on the market for too long. Prior to listing the property, her professional opinions, as well as recommendations for the people she has used in the past for staging and creating beautiful photography, tour and brochures are right on! This time the property was listed on a Monday, shown twice on Tuesday and we had an offer on Thursday, closing three months later. A great testimony to Linda’s and her assistant Chantelle’s hard work and expertise! Once a contract is on the table, Linda provides great contract review/negotiation abilities. Her professionalism and friendly disposition earns the respect of other realtors making transactions pleasant and smooth. Once our counter offer was accepted, she was able to make sure we were able to get the house inspected quickly. She made sure she was with us during the inspection process and again when the buyers came through for final inspection before closing. At closing, she again provided support and guidance and a big hug when it was all done! Regardless of whether you are buying or selling, I would recommend Linda Driggs as your agent. Her indepth knowlege of the industry and market, along with her strong work ethic makes her an excellent real-estate agent. Her assistant Chantelle is also a true gem--supporting Linda and providing excellent, personalized service as well. I highly recommend their team for your real estate transaction. Nicole Wallace
The Linda Driggs Team is awesome! We are working on a transaction as we speak and Chantelle could not be more helpful. They are the one of the most professional teams I ever worked with. They truly have their clients best interest at heart. I and their clients are blessed. Sincerely, Joe Mervenne Edgewater at Hidden Bay
I highly recommend anyone buying or selling in the Sarasota area to use Michael Saunders and Linda Driggs and here colleagues. The dedicated team went far beyond what is expected as we live abroad and this was a second house. I also recommend using Jennifer Crawford and the MS title branch. Michael Saunders has a humble and professional approach, they know the market better then the many other companies that might promise you something they cannot deliver.
I interviewed 3 highly recommended realtors to sell my home. I chose Linda because she had the experience and most importantly enthusiasm I was looking for. She came very prepared for our first meeting. I knew she would be my cheerleader! She appreciated and understood all the hard work and effort I had put into my home. We had 3 offers in the first week:-)
We recently purchased a wonderful home with the help of Linda Driggs. My husband and I have bought and sold a few homes in Sarasota and I must say that this was probably the easiest transaction that we have done. Linda was extremely well informed and efficient. She and her husband very graciously invited us into their own home and gave us a grand tour. She has a way that makes you feel that you are not doing business, but visiting with old friends. We feel very fortunate to have met her.
It has been wonderful working with Linda since day one! She is extremely well organized, well prepared and knowledgeable, works very hard for her client. Selling our house in University Park was a difficult decision. She has made the process go smoothly. Shopping for a condo in downtown Sarasota with Linda Driggs is easy. She plans the visits well, organizes all of the information and knows exactly what to look for. When it comes time to create a contract, Linda is the best person to make it go smoothly.
Linda, Sara, and Chantelle are the absolute dream team! They made the sometimes stressful experience of buying a house seem like a breeze by staying on top of deadlines, paperwork, contacts, and being readily available for questions or concerns. We are now in our dream home! Thanks ladies!
Linda and her assistant, Chantelle, made the process of selling our home as stress free as possible. They both worked very hard to market our home and helped us make sure the house showed as well as possible. We couldn't be more grateful, and would recommend her (and have) to anyone looking to buy or sell property in Sarasota.
Just a pleasure to work with and very knowledgeable!!
Linda is a professional at real estate. I have referred clients to her and vice-versa and she always takes excellent care of all of her clients. I highly recommend her as your real estate professional.
Linda gave me straight answers from the beginning. She suggested the best way to sell my property. I was always able to contact her with a question. She got the price I wanted within a month. The closing was prompt and professional. I would recommend her.
Linda provided me with outstanding, professional, and caring Real Estate service during a difficult time in my life! I would recommend her without reservation to any client in the Sarasota area and beyond.
Linda was the ultimate professional. She had a thorough understanding of the market in which we were selling and provided great advise to us. She and Chantelle, her very component assistant, were timely in there communications with us and we always felt we knew exactly what was happening with our listing. The property sold quickly and it was the most stress free closing we have ever had. She helped us with the pricing and we and the buyers were both happy with the outcome. Whether buying our selling, Linda will always represent us.
It was pleasure working with Renn Nichols and Linda Driggs! Thank you very much for the referral!
Linda couldn't have been more amazing! She and her assistant , Renn, went above and beyond! I had already located to another state, and they handled everything for me from meeting repair companies at the house to having the house spotless for the final walk thru. I would hire Linda again in a heartbeat, and I would recommend her to every person considering a real estate transaction. She is so professional, and she knows her business! A pleasure! 5+ star rating!
Linda is fantastic. She took the time to really get to know us which lead to finding a house that truly is a perfect fit. We would highly recommend her!!
Linda Driggs is an excellent Realtor. I would recommend to everyone, with a five star rating. She is honest, sincere, friendly and really knows her business. She sold our listing in just a few months. Thank you Linda, you are number one!!. Mary Rosasco :)
We are delighted to be in our new home. Linda Driggs helped us greatly through the whole process. Her knowledge and expertise facilitated the acquisition and move into our home.
Linda was truly wonderful! She sold our family home after the passing of my father. She guided me on how to properly get the house cleaned out and staged for photographs and showings. I was so thankful for her honest feedback. She also gave me referrals on house packers and cleaners. The house looked amazing and was sold quickly. She made the experience so much easier. She is a great agent! I live out of state which complicates the process and Linda made it so easy for me. I will be forever grateful.
Linda and her assistant, Maggie, worked tirelessly with us on our purchase in Sarasota. They epitomize professionalism in their knowledge, execution, dedication and responsiveness. In the very short time frame in which they had to work, Linda provided insight into the market and the available properties. Linda was focused on what we wanted and gave us options that fit within our parameters. Maggie was always there to follow-up and during contract after we returned up north she was always available to meet with inspectors and the like. Linda provided invaluable assistance in providing great professional service recommendations and in helping to iron out the bumps in the road during negotiations. We are extremely grateful to Linda and Maggie for helping to make our purchase success.
Linda was a delight to work with. She is most professional, thorough, helpful and goes the extra yard to provide buyers with information in regards to their special needs and inquiries. And even after closing, she is their to provide additional information or assist the buyer with their transition into a new neighborhood. We would highly recommend her without any reservations.
We have bought and sold many homes in California , Linda was by far the best experience ever ... Linda never missed a detail.. The deal is done!!!!!!!! And we are now good friends.
We had several choices of Real Estate agents to work with for the sale of our home in University Park Country Club, and we chose to contact Linda Driggs. We met Linda shortly after moving to Florida and we were impressed not only with her professionalism but the fact that she took time to stopped buy our home to introduced herself and offered her services for the future. She was also a great help to us in providing contact information for local vendors. Linda is a caring and personable lady, which in our opinion, is a very important asset to have to succeed in this business.
My husband and I purchased a 15 acre farm in myakka with the help of Linda and her team. Linda’s experience and local connections helped us tremendously. We didn’t really know what we were looking for, but after showing us a few properties she is so on top of new listings that we were able seize an opportunity that was just what we wanted. It was a complicated situation with an agricultural classification. It was only through her willingness to met with people at all hours, connect us with the people who could help get answers for us and make sure all the details were addressed that we were able to close in a relatively short period. You won’t find a better realtor than Linda Driggs.
Linda is one of the sweetest and most energetic individuals you could ever meet. She is also the ultimate professional. She kept me constantly updated on the status of my condo. She created a stylish set of advertising materials to help promote the sale. And she was upbeat and positive, which was especially encouraging given the obviously challenging times in the market. In short, her support and service were outstanding.
Linda Driggs ROCKS! She is an absolute professional. Highly recommended!
Linda is a truly great Real Estate agent. She has helped us over the years with several transactions. She is unsurpassed in her hardworking energy and great attitude. Linda is always professional and does things right the first time. Besides all that, she is charismatic and great to be around. She has helped us both on the selling and buying ends of the deal and we always feel completely taken care of. We wouldn't dream of doing Real Estate without her.
My husband and I were looking for a realtor who would work hard to sell our house that had already been on the market for a year. We found that in Linda Driggs. At our first meeting she came prepared with a market analysis and specific recommendations for what we needed to do and what she would do to get our house sold. Throughout the 6 months it took her and her awesome assistant, Chantelle, to sell the house, with a number of unforeseen problems with the house to be solved along the way, Linda never lost her positive, focused attitude and kept us positive and focused as well. Linda and Chantelle kept us up-to-date on showings and feedback, and exceeded our expectations in the support and help they provided. We are grateful for their professionalism and highly recommend them.
Working with Linda and team was a great experience. Her expertise and knowledge of the market translated into a fast sale for us. From start to finish, she unleashed a great plan; helping us price our property at the right price, staging it, and just overall good advice. We were in great hands and the positivity and good energy allowed for a successful sale. I highly recommend Linda for any of your real estate needs.
My wife and I found Linda Driggs to be professional, patient and beyond thorough in helping get our house sold, and then following through the inspection and walk thru and suggesting an attorney to represent us at the closing. We feel she overcame many roadblocks to make it possible. CLAY AND CAROL PROWLS
My wife, Cheryl, and I recently completed the sale of our home in University Park Country Club and purchased a new home in the Esplanade in Lakewood Ranch. We had spent twenty years in our UPCC home after moving every 2-3 years during the previous 30 years. Bernadette Caswell and Linda Driggs worked with us to sell and Bernadette worked on the new purchase. Even with the vast experience of the prior moves, Cheryl and I were very apprehensive about moving after twenty years. I am writing to let you know that Bernadette and Linda were superb throughout the process and we could not have been more pleased with the results. They were tenacious, thoughtful, creative and more than met all our expectations. The UPCC home was not an easy sell and we needed more than a little bit of luck. But their response was fantastic when the opportunity presented itself. We very much appreciate them and your entire organization for a good experience.
My wife and I were looking to move to Sarasota from New York . Linda Driggs walked us through the process every step of the way , as well showing us everything we’d need to know about Sarasota and then some. My wife and I are most grateful and anxious to start our new life L & E Gould
As a luxury design home specialist with John Cannon Homes, working with high-end clients in Sarasota and Manatee counties, what I value most about Linda Driggs is her ability to understand the new construction process and her conscientious follow-up with her clients as well as us. Linda proved to be not only extremely professional and personable, but also skilled at follow-through when it came time to pull all the pieces and issues together on behalf of her client.
Selling our property with Linda was exactly what I hoped and expected from a top agent – pure professionalism with promised and delivered high expectations. We had been listed on the market with a previous agent and was very disappointed. When I met Linda, I felt I finally chose the team I was looking for in the beginning. Although I had some worry about being let down again, Linda didn’t disappoint and surpassed all my expectations. She was all hands on deck from the beginning, discussing the market, competitive pricing, professional staging (where she also included large custom art work that she painted herself specifically for my foyer), stunning photography and videography! After almost a year of no movement, she had my property under contract in 10 days. From listing to closing, she and her team were always available and making sure every detail was precise. I highly recommend Linda Driggs.
My hats off to Linda Driggs and Michael Saunders real estate. In an incredibly competitive market for high rise condos on the Sarasota waterfront, Linda was able to sell our condo in just over four months – this was in spite of the fact that our 13-year-old condo was competing against a large number of units in brand new buildings with amazing amenities. A wonderful job of ¡°staging¡± our condo, as recommended by Linda, and her hard work and tenacity got the job done in a very timely fashion AND during the offseason. My wife Patty and I could not be more grateful to Linda for her hard work and knowledge of the Sarasota market.
My husband Rick and I adore Linda!!! In every professional way she is just right and correct about everything that she handles. We hope to have a busy relationship with her as soon as we sell our home in Winnetka , il Tina Lieberman
I was most fortunate to have chosen Linda Driggs as my realtor. Her enthusiasm and dedication to her chosen profession are immediately apparent. She was always available to answer questions and offer advice to enhance my home. From staging, by minimizing extras, to advice on beautifying landscaping, Linda’s expertise was most valuable. Additionally, the photography for the virtual tour was outstanding. I could rely on both Linda and her assistant, Chantelle Edalgo, to be supportive every step of the way and was totally confident in their handling of the successful sale of my home. I highly recommend them - they are the best!
One of the best and most Real Estate Agents in the Country. Hands down! I brought several homes from Linda over the years and never felt pressured; rather working with her was more like working with a good friend.
We had a terrific experience with Linda. After listing with another realtor and seeing literally no action for 6 months we re-listed with Linda. Linda helped us understand the market, the competing properties and worked with us closely to set the right price. As a result, we sold in a week for over our asking price! I also couldn't say enough about Linda's after sales service. We were in New York while all of this was happening and Linda had the contacts and resources to get all of the miscellaneous fix ups done on the house. Her assistant Chantelle is a huge asset. Linda and her team are highly recommended!
Linda did a fantastic job selling our home. We had multiple offers on the home within the first month of listing it. She and her team do a great job of communicating with clients to keep them up to speed on everything related to the transaction. I would highly recommend her!
Linda, Sara and Chantelle did a fantastic job, helping us to locate and then buy a home in the Sarasota area. Coming in from out of state, it was a daunting task but they made it easy; we completed the whole process in under two months. Linda's local knowledge is amazing and she generously shared it with us, pointing out the highlights of her hometown. The whole team's familiarity with the process and inspectors and contractors was invaluable. You cannot go wrong working with them.
This was the second home that Linda helped us sell. The first experience was so exceptional we never thought about using anyone else for our agent this time. Linda is the ultimate professional. She is tireless, detail oriented and always has her clients interest as her number one priority. I would highly recommend Linda to anyone and everyone. I look forward to working with Linda again in the future.
The Sarasota Fine Arts Society is fortunate to have Linda working with them on the violin project. She delivered a violin to my art studio for me to paint for the fund raiser. Linda is a pleasure to work with.
Linda and her team did a masterful job in making the selling of our long time family waterfront home in Longbeach on Longboat Key as trouble free as one could get. Amazingly this all transpired without our even meeting once with Linda! The communication was always prompt and accurate and provided a complete picture of what was occurring. Linda's well thought out marketing plan was very strategic and implemented exactly as promised. She successfully engaged with the Buyer's agent and quickly resolved any impasses in a way that maintained the pace of the negotiations. Linda always kept her promises and focused on maximizing the sale of my property.
Linda, in my opinion, is one of he best Real Estate Agents in the Country. She is extremely professional and during a very difficult time in my life she acted in a caring and loving matter and GOT THE PROPERTY SOLD
Linda, by far, is the most experienced, professional real estate agent we have ever worked with. She is pleasant, extraordinarily hard-working, attentive and, knowledgeable. I would highly recommend Linda and her assistant Chantelle to anyone looking to purchase or sell a home in the Sarasota and Manatee area.
Linda’s passion, knowledge and honesty were terrific to deal with over a 2-year period of successful house hunting. The consistency and depth of her advice helped us know we were working with a professional with very high integrity. We relied on her thinking and deep business knowledge of the market, the builders and the industry. She gives back so much to the community with her time and personality. We consider Linda a true friend who is also excellent in her profession.
Linda is an excellent realtor. My husband and I wanted to sell my mother's home in Sarasota while living in Atlanta. I met with Linda one morning. She walked through the house and immediately made a number of suggestions. We listened to her, followed all of her expert advice and we are so glad that we did! Linda also referred me to a store for carpeting and to her superb painter. Both were able to meet with me that same afternoon. We got rid of old wallpaper, pink blinds and rose berber and replaced them with tan walls and new plush tan carpeting. The house now really looked like new. At Linda's suggestion, we didn't even have to stage it. She had it professionally cleaned and photographed. Linda and Renn, her assistant, were excellent communicators. We called, we e-mailed, we felt like we were always in touch and knew what was going on, even though we are in Atlanta. My husband is a realtor in Atlanta. He and Linda discussed the plan for the sale before listing it. Linda and Renn immediately forwarded all of the input from potential buyers. Even though it is off season, Linda and Renn sold my mother's home in one week! She gave us excellent advice about how everything works in Florida, which is quite different from Georgia. Linda knows the market, knows how to show a home to its best advantage, knows pricing and how to negotiate. We highly recommend Linda for her expert knowledge of Sarasota real estate, for her great communication skills, for her unbeatable team of professionals and for getting us a great price in a week!
Linda and Bernadette got the job done. We had our home on the market the previous year without even a nibble. But, from the start of our contract with them, they aggressively pursued a sale for us, and never let up. We were in two realtor cavalcades. They were at every showing, even when they were stretched by other commitments. The partnership made communication easy and immediate. We can't recommend them more highly.
Linda is a straight shooter! She gets the job done!
A vacation in the Sarasota area was all we needed to spark interest in finding a place to call home in the area. I started my preliminary search for the perfect property where most searches begin -- on the internet. What I found instead was an ambassador to the Sarasota area and the most personal, professional and dedicated buyer's agent that a person could ask for. Linda is not only an expert in the greater Sarasota neighborhoods, opportunities and activities but she is also a well-connected area resource with the ability to deftly navigate through every aspect of the real estate transaction; from your first Sarasota home tour to your first umbrella drink on the lanai in your new home. Above all, Linda cares about you and your unique "wants and needs" and she will work tirelessly to be certain that you will find the perfect property in the perfect location. Thanks, Linda!
Linda is a pleasure to work with. She is direct, professional, easy to work with, very well organized and is informed about what is going on in the real estate market. She has a wonderful team working with her. Both Sarah and Chantelle were a pleasure to work with also and kept me informed of all the steps that were needed to complete this deal. I highly recommend Linda Driggs and Michael Saunders and Company.
Our experience with Linda & Bernadette in the sale of our home and purchasing of our new home went off like clock work. They helped us every step of the way and never put any pressure on us. We’ll definitely recommend them to every body.
I have worked with Linda in the past and she is wonderful
Linda and Sara are world-class REALTORS. They truly care about all of their clients.
Linda is a force to be reckoned with, my best ever experience buying a house (I think this was number 6).
Great person to deal with, knowledgeable and personable!! What more can one expect!!
Bernadette and Linda as a team are professional, knowledgeable, helpful, caring and energetic. Ms. Caswell and Ms. Driggs are shining stars. In our opinion is the best in Sarasota. We'll gladly recommend them to friends and colleagues and will certainly do business with them in the future.
Linda is just the best! She listens to what her clients want, zeros in on exactly what they've said, and is incredibly efficient with the showings, handouts etc. We have worked with Linda on three different real estate transactions, and I would always recommend her most highly to any friends or family.
Linda had an incredible and very effective marketing plan for our home. Her online and printed materials for marketing our house were absolutely top quality. She was always available for us and handled the negotiation between two competing bidders perfectly to get us very close to our asking price in a very short time. Donna and I highly recommend Linda to anyone looking for a successful and highly effective house sale experience.
