Linda Leonard - Testimonials

Tell Us Your Story

I had the pleasure of working with Linda Leonard to sell my home in May 2025.

Linda came prepared to our first meeting with detailed analysis and a comprehensive approach to marketing and selling my home. Linda quickly became invested in the process and brought in highly regarded professionals for home and pest inspections to offer any prospective buyers. She set clear expectations, presented prompt updates and offered encouraging advice. Linda went above and beyond to make this process faultless from beginning to end. I would love to work with Linda again and encourage anyone thinking of buying or selling a home to give her a call. You will not be disappointed.

There are no words to express my appreciation for Linda Leonard.

She has been a close friend and neighbor in Shaver Lake for many years. I knew there wasn't another agent I would trust with the sale of my beloved mountain home. Linda was "hands on" from the first day we spoke about selling. She gave me wonderful advice on how to stage and make my home look amazing. From gorgeous professional photographs and her personal touch, she made this stressful time bearable. She was in constant communication with me and we spoke sometimes twice Linda had multiple offers, and an all cash offer the first weekend we were on the market. We were in escrow at day 12. Linda is now helping me buy my dream home.

Linda did a great job for me and my wife with our house sale. She thought of everything to make this possible,by always being one step ahead. Whenever I called or texted her, she would get right back to me. She treated us like we were the only clients she had. She was very professional, she knows her job very well and she’s very clear in explaining things. Linda is a true customer service person. Thank you, Linda, so much.

Shawn Henson

Linda was absolutely fantastic to work with from day 1!

She is incredibly thorough, prompt, professional, and knowledgeable of every step throughout the home buying process. The numerous inspections and bids she coordinated for us during our negotiation with the seller relieved a huge burden and helped provide us with valuable information for informed decisions about the purchase. Linda helped make this experience an incredibly smooth and pleasant process! We have worked with other realtors in the past for several prior home purchases, but none compare to the level of service we received from Linda. I would highly recommend her as your realtor for life!!!

Krystal Fosse

When we found *the* house Linda was our first call.

The purchase of our dream home was contingent on the sale of our old home and we were up against a challenging, slow market. Linda did not let us lose faith that the house would find the right buyer and with her guidance in price and incentives we accepted a full price offer! Linda continued to provide valuable insights during the escrow process and helped us further negotiate with the seller after the home inspection. Linda went above and beyond to help us see how beautiful we could make our new home with cosmetic updates and provided excellent referrals to help us execute renovations before we moved in. We are extremely grateful for her wisdom, patience, and positivity. She was an integral part of our family moving into our dream home and we cannot thank her enough! We highly recommend working with Linda wherever you may be in your homeownership journey. She is a truly excellent realtor!

Pearl Hopper

I had a fantastic experience working with Linda!

She was professional, knowledgeable and always quick to respond to my questions. The whole process was smooth from start to finish, and I really appreciated her honesty and guidance along the way. I felt supported every step of the way, and I'm so happy with my new vacation home. Highly recommend!

Mark Worthington

What an exhilarating journey!

It kicked off when I contacted Linda Leonard on a Friday, asking to list my mom's house on Monday to buy the condo next to my brother's in-laws." Selling and buying simultaneously is challenging, but this experience was extraordinary—a blend of hurdles, cyber attacks on the buyer's lender, and delays. Yet, my 90 year old mom handled it like a champ because of Linda’s caring, compassionate nature and expertise. Linda made it happen! My whole family is forever grateful for our new family member, Linda❤️

Paulette Cardinale

Communication was clear and she kept me informed with every step of the way. Linda understood my needs and preferences and made the whole experience with both buying and selling my home more enjoyable because of her genuine care. I wholeheartedly recommend Linda to anyone in search of real estate services.

Kaitlyn M. Jackson

Selling a home is not easy, so many steps, thank the Lord for Linda.

She took us through each step with grace and patience. We had a problem with the Solar Company, Linda would tell us what we needed to do next and everything turn out in time to close Escrow. Thank you, Linda, Noreen Frankfort

Noreen Frankfort

Linda sets a very high bar for professionalism and communication.

I recently closed a sale of a property with Linda's assistance and she made the entire experience very easy and straightforward for me. Her market expertise and local knowledge were apparent from day 1. Once we created a strategy moving forward she was communicative and very responsive any time I had a question or concern. It always felt like she had my best interests at heart. Linda went out of her way to help me on multiple occasions, such as meeting repair workers and cleaners at the property when I could not be present. She also brought in contacts to arrange for staging the property - one less thing I had to worry about. I heavily depended on Linda's expertise and in the end I received multiple offers on the property and was able to close at a higher amount than I had asked for. Thank you Linda. Truly.

Jesse Chen

Linda was great in helping us buy our second home and sell our first one.

There were bumps in the road in the process of selling, but Linda made sure everything worked out in the end.

Pleasure to work with!

Audra Kevorkian

Linda was the best realtor when it came to selling our home.

I wish I would have known her when I bought my first house! She explained every part pf the process and guided us through everything. Making it way less stressful than what I had thought it’d be. Definitely will be referring her to everyone I know.

Desiree

Thank you Linda for your never ending commitment to give the highest quality of service and best experience when purchasing a home.

Our deal was definately a more complicated one but Linda encouraged us and was diligent in keeping us informed every step of the way! She worked closely with our loan officer Terri Coleman who was amazing! We couldn’t have asked for a better team! Linda’s expertise and dedication to every detail was so appreciated! I truly believe we would not be in our forever home if not for her continued diligence right up to when she handed us the key! Thank you again Linda!

Ruth Evelyn Bankston

We just closed on our dream cabin — and we couldn’t be happier!

🏡🌲 A huge thank-you to our amazing realtor, Linda, who made the entire process smooth and stress-free. Her deep knowledge of the Huntington Lake area really stood out, and her network of contacts — from insurance providers to the Forest Service and HOA reps — helped everything fall into place seamlessly. Even while on a preplanned vacation, Linda stayed responsive and supportive every step of the way. We closed ahead of schedule, and we couldn't be happier. If you're looking to buy or sell, we can't recommend Linda enough. She's a true pro — and we’re so grateful. 🙏 Thank you, Linda!

Richard Plitt

I highly recommend Linda as your “go to” realtor!

She went above and beyond marketing and representing my home. Weekly, she would reach out to discuss the prior week’s activity and ALWAYS had recommendations to improve the marketability of the property. This constant and consistent contact is what ultimately ended in an offer. Again, I highly recommend Linda if you are in the market to sell your property…I have two more properties and she will most definitely be my “go to” realtor again!

Jim fantaski

Linda was great to work with.

She is very patient and thoughtful. I especially appreciated her understanding of the current market and her ability to value our home accurately. Would definitely work with again!

KELLY S.

Linda is such a pleasure to work with.

Very knowledgeable, patient and kind. As a selling agent on the other end of things, I’d have it no other way! Thank you, Linda!

Brenda Sandoval

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Exceptional Agent, Exceptional Results!

Selling my home in Madera’s Riverstone community could have been a nerve-wracking experience—but thanks to Linda Leonard, it turned out to be one of the most seamless and rewarding decisions I’ve ever made. From day one, she brought deep local expertise, a sharp marketing strategy, and a calm confidence that immediately put me at ease. Within the first week of listing, we received multiple offers—and ultimately accepted an all-cash offer over asking price. I was stunned by how quickly and smoothly everything happened. What impressed me most was Linda’s ability to position my home perfectly in the market. The listing photos were stunning, the open house was buzzing, and the communication was flawless every step of the way. I never felt left in the dark, and every detail was handled with care and professionalism. If you’re selling in Central California and want someone who truly understands the market, advocates fiercely for your best outcome, and delivers results that exceed expectations—Linda Leonard is the one. I couldn’t be happier with the experience or the outcome.

Rochelle Talwar

I’ve had the best experience with Linda.

She not only advocated for me when I needed but she taught me how to advocate for myself. She explained things to me that I was questionable about and made sure I fully understood. She was so warm, welcoming and inviting. She didn’t just treat me as a client but as if I was her own family which made my time with her so much more enjoyable. I will forever be grateful for all her help and guidance. All of these wonderful qualities and her lead me to my dream home.

It was a wonderful experience working with Linda.

She did a great job preparing our house for viewing. The video she made was great. It took only 4 months to sell in Shaver Lake at the price we wanted. I would recommend her to any body wanting to sell their property.

Mike LIttle

Linda is a hard worker, on time, prepared and professional.

It was a pleasure working with her.

Joe Kay

I’m a repeat customer of Linda’s.

She’s has helped me with the purchase and sale of three homes. Linda is extremely professional, courteous and has attention to detail. She’s very knowledgeable and helpful. Linda was always available to answer any questions and treated the sale of my home as she would her own home! She helped make the process peaceful and effortless and treats you like family. I’d highly recommend Linda to anyone selling or purchasing a home!

Jamie McIntyre

Linda is the best of the best!

This is our second time using her and we would never use anyone else! She knows what she is doing, fights for her clients and keeps you informed every step of the way! She had multiple offers on our home and had it pending within 3 days. If you want your home sold, use Linda Leonard! :)

Brooke Papaleo

Linda was such a great realtor for us.

She made our cabin dreams come true. From the start she was able to get us up to see the cabin right away. Her communication with the seller and us was amazing during the escrow. When it was time to close she was on vacation with limited cell service and she found internet to let us close on time. She made the buying experience so easy. I’d highly recommend her for buying or selling a home or cabin.

Ryan Shriver

WOW.

..let me tell you, Linda is YOUR girl!!Selling my home after 25 years was one of the biggest and most emotional decisions I ever made. I was anxious, overwhelmed and honestly wondering if I was crazy for trying to sell my home and buy another one at the same time. Little did I know I had a rockstar realtor in my corner!I called Linda on Tuesday. Pictures were taken on Thursday. My house went on the market on Saturday and SOLD at its first open house on Sunday. Then she was able to help me buy my new home, move and close escrow in 21 days!What I appreciate most about Linda was she never let me feel alone in the process, she was always positive, always encouraging, and always a phone call away. She kept me updated every step of the way, explained things I didn't understand ( sometimes more than once) and always with a solution when a challenge popped up.And to think I thought I didn't need a realtor, boy was I WRONG! Linda, thank you for all your kindness! You helped make a dream come true and start a new exciting chapter in my life!!I will be forever grateful, Nancy

Nancy

Linda is a joy to work with.

She really enjoys her job, and it shows, as she went the extra mile to help me through the many steps of a home purchase. She has good working relationships with title company employees and other agents making the process easier, and I felt she truly cared that I had a good outcome answering my many questions with patience and humor.

Debbie

The service Linda rendered in the sale of my property was exceptional.

I cannot speak more highly of it. Linda exhibited exceptional professionalism, expertise, and commitment throughout the entire process, spanning from the initial consultation to the final closing. She devised a strategic plan that expedited the sale of my property by demonstrating an in-depth knowledge of the local market. Their proactive demeanor and meticulous attention to detail guaranteed that each stage of the sales procedure was executed with accuracy and diligence. Linda consistently upheld a policy of open and transparent communication throughout the entire process, ensuring that I was well-informed at all times and promptly attending to any inquiries or concerns I may have had. Her proactive marketing strategies, which encompassed visually appealing photographs and persuasive listing descriptions, succeeded in attracting a substantial number of interested buyers and ultimately generated several offers. Linda, apart from her exceptional negotiation abilities, demonstrated unwavering commitment to representing my best interests by successfully negotiating an exceptional selling price that surpassed my initial expectations. It was an absolute joy to collaborate with her, and I am profoundly appreciative of her steadfast commitment and assistance. Look no further than Linda if you are in search of an exceptional real estate agent who will provide you with outstanding results. Your exceptional service is greatly appreciated, Linda.

Linda is VERY thorough and advocated for us when dealing with sellers and buyers. She continuously showed such a high level of patience, particularly when dealing with multiple family members who were involved in the selling/buying process.
