New to Rumson- thanks to Linda Gillespie

We recently purchased a home in Rumson and I wanted to thank our wonderful real estate agent Linda Gillespie. Working with Linda was an absolute pleasure.  I use to think realtors had a pretty easy job but Linda changed my opinion. She is a go-getter. She impressed us from our very first meeting, when she prepared a detailed packet of information about the area, and continually all through the house hunt, and ultimately the closing process. She was infinitely patient and a good sounding board when we struggled to find a home that fit our needs. Through her network she was able to find homes for us not yet on the market- a real asset in a competitive marketplace.

When we did find our new home, Linda was always easy to access and returned emails/texts/vm quickly.  During the whole stressful offer and closing process, she helped guide us in the price negotiation, helped us receive a sizeable credit at closing, she met with contractors, she even helped set-up our utilities, contacted insurance agents, the township, and watched our children! Many times she helped keep the closing process on track working with our lender, lawyer, and the listing agent. We had some pretty unusual issues pop up and Linda was proactive in helping to look for solutions and stayed calm and collaborative.  I don’t think we would have gotten our home without Linda’s persistence and perseverance. Linda went above and beyond my expectations and we are so appreciative of her efforts. We are thrilled with our new home and would recommend her without hesitation. She is the hardest working agent out there!
