" Linda Kuo has assisted us with several real estate transactions over the years, including most recently a house sale that closed this past December.
She is an outstanding realtor and a terrific person. When Linda is engaged to help with a real estate matter, she is incredibly proactive and responsive to opportunities. She is ready with concrete practical advice derived from decades of experience. For example, she has an eye for how to stage the house and make it attractive to buyers. She has an exceptionally strong team that she immediately leverages to achieve your objectives. She helps every step of the way from house readiness to listing to contract and closing. Linda also has a couple of extraordinary attributes that give her a huge advantage in assisting her clients. She is the daughter of a very successful realtor so she has learned the real estate business from her youngest days. She also has a law degree and this contributes to her exceptional verbal and written communication skills, as well as her ability to negotiate the best deal for her client. On top of all these things she is an incredibly kind, thoughtful and considerate person who truly listens to understand. She has the ability to assess what is important to the buyer and the seller and what is needed to
bring them together to enable the transaction to close. I cannot say enough positive things about Linda. I did not fully appreciate what a difference a great realtor can make until we began working with her many years ago. She is extremely prompt in advising of new listings if you are seeking to purchase a new home and if you are selling, she knows the ins-and-outs of essential repairs to qualify for a Certificate of Occupancy (and is ready with contractor options to make any needed repairs). In addition she offers excellent advice on offers and counteroffers, as well as setting the house sale price in the first instance - based on a careful review of comps. In sum, I know Linda to be reliable, extremely hard-working and driven to achieve her client's objectives and to do so with integrity and passion. These traits in my view are the foundation that have enabled Linda's professional success and are some of the most compelling reasons why I will want Linda in my corner for any future real estate search or transaction we may choose to undertake"." -Linda Reig

"Linda helped us during our first home buying process. With her help we were able to purchase our new home. She guided us through every step of the process and was always available to clarify any doubts or questions that we had in a quick manner and with great detail. Linda has a lot of local knowledge as well which was extremely important for us as she could give us tips on local resources and insights. We are extremely grateful to have worked with such a great agent and recommend her to any protective buyer in the area she specializes at". - Alejandro

Linda is a thoughtful, non-judgmental agent and took the time to listen to what my husband and I wanted from a home / our thoughts after looking at specific homes.
She was extremely responsive and thorough in answering any questions and doing the research on homes we were interested in; from pulling permit records to old listings and answering lots of questions about the process (we are first-time homeowners), she was very patient and helpful. She is also very proactive about doing all the work which was hugely helpful.
Her main geographical area of expertise is the Millburn-Short Hills area, although we ended up buying in Westfield. I would recommend her to anyone looking for a buyer agent, especially for first-time buyers!" - Alice
"We would absolutely recommend Linda to anyone who are looking to purchase a house in Millburn-Short Hills area! She is so patient, honest, diligent, and knowledgeable about the local market- basically everything you’d look for in a buyer’s agent. We first met Linda back in May 2021 when we were planning on moving to NJ. She provided us an overview of the town (schools, transportation, life in general) and taking a step further to drive us to different places in town so that we know the area better. Once we officially started house hunting, Linda took us to open houses and walk us through things we might like about the house, and more importantly, things to watch out for (e.g. signs of flood). She remembers our needs and things that are must-haves and good-to-haves. More importantly, she would never push us into buying something that we would not like, or persuade us getting way too crazy in a bidding war. When we ask Linda about her advise on the housing price, her estimation of what the house actually worth in the current market is always right on the point. We live in NYC, so it’s not feasible for us to drive to to town every time a house pops up. Linda would always give us a virtual tour for listing that we are interested in. If we really like the house, she then show us in person again. During the fall/winter season when the housing market has become so difficult for the buyers (less affordable houses, EXTREMELY low inventory), Linda even found us an exclusive listing. Although the deal fail through due to things that we could not control for, Linda sent us kind and comforting words which truly cheered us up, and tried her best to find us another one. I cannot say enough about how much we appreciate her hard work. Linda is truly a one of a kind agent in Millburn-Short Hills!" - Peng

"Linda is amazing. She helped us buy our first home in a very difficult housing market. She has a great depth of experience, is extremely engaged and responsive, and always made us feel like our home search was her #1 priority. She accompanied us on all sightings, FaceTimed with us on countless occasions, and looked at many houses on our behalf, always writing up extremely detailed write-ups that were very helpful. Linda grew up in the area and is extremely well-connected locally. As just one example, when we were considering purchasing a historic home, Linda invited a member of a local regulatory agency to see the home with us so we would have a sense of what modifications would be possible. She is genuine, patient, and knowledgable without being pushy. As first-time home-buyers, we truly feel like we lucked out in finding Linda and can highly recommend her to anyone!" - Laura

"The housing market in 2021 is crazy and as first time home buyers we were nervous and confused but Linda helped us through it all. She helped us narrow towns down and suggested towns based on our likes. After doing some initial showings to get an idea of what we liked she kept us updated on what was about to come to market and what just came to the market as well. She was always available to answer our questions (and being first time home buyers we had A LOT) and provide her opinion. She was very knowledgeable about the areas we were looking in and the towns neighborhood. She was with us at every step of the way and we have no regrets in choosing Linda! We wouldn't hesitate to recommend her especially for first timers like us. Thank you!!" - Emy

"We are very happy to have had Linda as our agent as she was able to help us purchase our dream home. As first time buyers, we appreciated that Linda took the time to explain the home-buying process in detail from beginning to end. We always felt like we could rely on her help through the entire process as she is very professional, responsive, and honest. She was also patient in helping us narrow down our needs in a home and taking the time to thoroughly explain each step of the way. It was great to work with someone who was very knowledge about Millburn/Short Hills and able to give us inside information on the town, neighborhoods, and schools as well as the local real estate market. We greatly enjoyed working with her and would recommend her!" - Laurie and Chris

"The year 2020 has been a very challenging year, but Linda’s hard and professional work made it a year full of accomplishments for my family. We appreciate that she took us to visit many houses in person, helped us make decisions, and provided many good suggestions through the closing process. She is really a rock star agent! Without her impressive local knowledge, masterful process expertise, immediate responsiveness and excellent negotiation skills, it is impossible for us to acquire our dream house in a very competitive seller’s market caused by the pandemic. I first knew Linda in the winter of 2018, when I started to show interest in buying a house to raise my family in Millburn/Short Hills. After that, we have many discussions about the local housing market. Under her help, I accumulated a deep understanding about the housing market in Millburn/Short Hills and nearby towns such as Livingston and New Providence. Linda has taken me and my family to see many houses across different districts of Millburn/Short Hills and Livingston. She explained the advantages and disadvantages for each house about the location, condition, school and pricing. Although it took me 2 years to finalize my house, Linda was very patient and always responded to me immediately. My family and I like this house very much --- nice layout and perfect location. Thanks to Linda and I recommend her to be your agent! " -Hao

"Linda was highly recommended to me by a friend, who as a result of Linda’s expert guidance, received multiple offers and got higher than the asking price for the sale of their home. Recently widowed, selling our family home of 25 years was emotionally daunting. Linda held my hand throughout the process with compassion, patience and positivity. Linda’s years of real estate experience as a skilled and astute negotiator, being current on market trends, and communicating openly with all parties in a timely manner helped me to successfully sell my home. Linda also has access to vast resources which made the sale go smoothly and on schedule. If you’re looking for professionalism, great customer service, and overall stellar results, Linda can and will deliver. " -Gemma

"I cannot say enough about Linda. We are first time buyers in the US, and Linda guided us through the process, explaining every detail and took the time to ensure we were very well informed at each step. She provided us with very good recommendations based on our need and budget, and her knowledge of the area is second to none. In fact our current house was directly from her recommendation but missed from my own search on Zillow. So I can say without Linda, we won't be able to purchase our current house. Linda is honest and very reliable and really was instrumental in making our home purchasing process smooth and fast. Would highly highly recommend her." -Feng
