Linda Traurig of Compass Realty deserves 10+ stars! We had lived in our home for 34 years and were selling our home to move out-of-state. Not only did we not know where to begin, we were terrified of what we would be facing during this process. Linda and her calming demeanor put us immediately at ease and reassured us that she would be with us though every step of the process, explaining everything in a way that was easy to understand. Her incredible knowledge of our particular market definitely built immediate trust and had nothing but our best interest in mind. She was very methodical in putting together a detailed timeline for us that addressed every possible item we would need to accomplish as well as setting expectations that might have potential obstacles. Fortunately, the sale of our home went along without a hitch because of Linda’s impressive ability to communicate, regardless of day or time to us as well as with the various contractors. We had many questions along the way and Linda patiently answered each and every one, professionally and with care. In the end, we had many over-ask offers and with Linda’s guidance were able to sell our home at an optimum price. We would recommend Linda 100% to anybody looking to sell their home. If we hadn’t moved out of state, we would be using her to find us a new home based on the tremendous relationship she has built with us in just a few months."- Kim & Randy H.

As our real estate agent, Linda, was professional, knowledgeable, insightful and extremely helpful on so many levels? We put together a plan to sell and move out of state on a very short timeline. With her help organizing, planning, packing and repairing we had our house of 31 years all boxed up and ready to go in 5 weeks. This could not have been done in so short a time without her help. She literally packed, taped and moved boxes for us, which wouldn’t have been physically possible for just the two of us! Linda walked us through all the necessary steps, making appointments with inspectors, contractors and everything in between. She did not hesitate to offer and be present for all things needing to be done in our absence, which happened often since we moved out of state before the sale of the house. She was quick to respond whenever we had a question or concern. Linda was very gracious and generous with her time and was/is a joy to work with. We highly recommend her to anyone seeking to sell his or her home."- Tom & Barbara D.

Our family was relocating to Arizona from California for a job transfer/relocation in early 2021. Using a relocation company, we interviewed three companies and decided on Linda. Linda was very knowledgeable, familiar with the relocation process and has a number of years of experience. The relocation process can be stressful on a family, and Linda took away the anxiety for us. The marketing and pictures of the home really made the features standout and feel welcoming. The showings were scheduled timely and the closing process was right on seamless. Linda is a true professional and we would recommend her to anyone seeking a Realtor."- Matt & Nesa M.

If you are looking for a Realtor, Linda Traurig amazing if you are buying or selling your home! We know first hand because she helped us sell our home of 28 years in Pleasanton. She worked with us through the entire process of preparing our home for sale to following up after the new owners took possession of the house. The sale of our home was the biggest financial transaction we have ever been through. We trusted Linda to provide professional insights on the current state of the market and on recommendations for making our house most attractive to potential buyers. She did not disappoint! She offered many suggestions on prioritizing what to display and what to put away. She had an excellent group of contacts that could help with things like painting, inspections and staging. In our case, we were very fortunate to be in a “sellers” market. However, even in this case, having a Realtor help you get the maximum sale price is time- consuming and requires someone who is fully in touch with all of the activity in the local area. This knowledge gave us the confidence to follow her guidance through all of the negotiations with potential buyers. We could not have been happier with the outcome. All of the credit goes to Linda. Thank you, Linda for making the process so easy and profitable for us!"- Jim & Ellen M.

Linda helped us sell our home in Dublin. It was a stressful time for us as there were multiple critical events going on in our lives at the same time. Linda is compassionate; she understood our needs and feelings. She developed a strategic plan, arranged every step from the beginning to the closing. She coordinated the work accommodating our schedule. When offers came in, Linda put together a comprehensive comparison summary with details analysis and walked us through the information explaining everything. With her guidance, we were able to pick the right offer and made the right decision. Linda is truly an exceptional real estate agent. She has an amazing team; her subcontractors for staging and photos were the best. We are very happy with the whole process and the end result. We would recommend Linda to anyone looking for a Realtor."- Ron & Hong L.

BACKGROUND / EXPERIENCE THE DIFFERENCE

COMMUNICATION, COMPASSION & COMMITMENT. A commitment to communication is one of my most important assets in working with clients and peers. Client service is my #1 priority. I am known to have a compassionate ear; I listen, I reflect, and then I react appropriately. I do everything I can to prevent and eliminate any potential issues that may arise through attentive, thoughtful listening. My prior Human Resources experience and concern for people allow me to be a successful and respected Realtor.

MARKET KNOWLEDGE. A native Californian, I have lived in Oakland, Castro Valley, San Leandro, and specifically the Tri-Valley area, including San Ramon and Pleasanton for the last 36 years. My extensive knowledge about schools, recreation, transportation, cultural activities, restaurants, and shopping helps my clients tremendously while purchasing or selling a home. Having purchased and sold several residences myself, I know the process from all aspects. All this, combined with my years of experience in real estate, means that I know property values intimately.

RELOCATION RESOURCE. As a Premier Realtor with relocation companies, I know that addressing the challenges clients encounter when selling or purchasing property is paramount to good service. I understand the issues that may arise when moving before the school year ends, renting before buying, as well as preparing a vacant home for sale.
