We couldn't have chosen a more professional, knowledgeable and helpful real estate agent than Linda Thompson. It took us three or four years of looking, but we finally found our dream home in Sarasota. We had been renting every February for about 5 years, and would also visit Sarasota for a week in the summer, and every time we came, we had a list of properties we wanted to see. Linda was so patient with us, and took the time to take us to everything we wanted to see and more! When we finally located the right place in the Isles on Palmer Ranch, she guided us through our purchase until completion; and even went above and beyond by helping us with things that needed to be taken care of at our new home after we had returned to Pennsylvania! Linda is a great realtor!
I can’t say enough good things about Linda’s support and service as she served as a buyer’s broker for my parents and sibling who are moving to the area. I/we have worked with real estate agents over the years, and Linda is special. First, she made a point to really listen and understand our unique space and lifestyle needs so she could help find a home that was right for our family. She helped us think through what we really needed given the multi-generational living situation. In short, she “got” us! When it came time to make the offer, she provided great counsel. They were able to get the house they wanted because Linda was on top of things. And she lent her discerning and experienced eye to the inspection process, helping us spot issues and deal with them. Linda’s help getting to closing was a godsend: because my parents are older, not tech savvy, and out of town, they needed coaching and support throughout. (The lender was great too.) I can say with confidence that they would not have been able to close on the house without her. Throughout, Linda was incredibly responsive, kind, and patient – and kept her sense of humor! Even though I am local and was able to help some with the buying process, it was such a relief for me to know that my parents were in Linda’s caring and capable hands.
Just a brief note to say how much we appreciate the job Linda Thompson did for us. She was very proactive at every step of the way. We feel she went above & beyond to help us, especially after we moved out of state. She handled dozens of little chores we couldn't. She's straightforward & upbeat. We felt we were being well taken care of.
The entire experience of selling my home was can only be described as excellent. Linda Thompson provided excellent service and professional guidance throughout the entire sales process. She went above and beyond my expectations and through her efforts, we got a full price offer on my house in less that 2 weeks! I recommend Linda wholeheartedly.
We would like to express our most sincere appreciation for the tenacity and professionalism afforded us by your exemplary agent Linda Thompson. We have enjoyed utilizing the services of Linda for purchase in 2012 and most recently a sale in Sarasota and could not be more pleased. She has made both of these transactions a satisfying experience and would not hesitate to reach out to her again for future endeavors. Thank you for affording us the services of such a competent professional.
I am writing to express my appreciation for the expert counsel and exemplary care my wife and I received from Linda Thompson in the purchase of Longboat Key home. Linda was the consummate professional. We could not have expected anything more than she demonstrated at every step in this process. She was always available, always two steps ahead on the details and always thinking first and foremost of our needs. She has our uncompromising support and sincere gratitude.
Working with Linda has been easy. She has been both patient and understanding with our search which has stretched over a few seasons. She has been a wealth of information giving us great incite on various parts of the area along with shopping and entertainment venues. Her easy going style makes our continued search one we feel no pressure and she is always accommodating to our schedule. Can't recommend her enough.
I recommended Linda to a friend because of her expertise in dealing with foreign ownership issues, and her professionalism. She came through with flying colors! Linda developed a beautiful website listing for the condo my friend listed with her and the unit sold in 3 days. Quicker than any of us anticipated. She followed through with any issues and helped complete a smooth sale for a foreign owner. I will recommend again to any of my friends.

We were selling a house located outside of Linda's three county area but she was able to locate a great agent for us, who sold our house in a week.
The service and personal attention I received from Linda Thompson was truly exceptional. Thank You so much for all the hard work you put into finding just the right house. And, for holding my hand once the paper work started to seem overwhelming. You are a true professional, top shelf!
I couldn't have gotten a better broker than Linda Thompson. I was not able to come down to see properties in person Our daughter came to Florida and looked at the home we eventually bought. After speaking to her, Linda was able to get a sense of our family dynamic, unique needs, and what we were truly looking for in our new home. At one point we almost lost our home to another bid. We all recognized that this home was THE home for us and Linda felt so as well so she stayed on top of monitoring the property's status while tempering our expectations and showing new options. As soon as the last bid fell through Linda jumped on top of submitting a new offer for us within 24 hrs. Buying from out of state, having our primary bank in another state and working together from a different timezone to coordinate each milestone deadline was the hardest challenge but she was on top of it all and I so needed the extra push that she gave me to make it through. She was also a helpful resource to me as I navigated my way through the use of certain types of technology/online platforms that were unfamiliar to make these deadlines happen. When it came time for the home inspection, my family could not be there in person but had faith in Linda to look out for our best interests throughout the process. She was honest, patient, personable, trustworthy and very easy to get in touch with when needed. She was just great to work with on all levels. She was always a step ahead of the game, uncompromising in her support, very professional and knowledgeable in her field. We couldn't be more pleased with our choice. Thank you Linda!
Linda guided us through every step of both purchasing a new home and selling our old one. She was attentive and completely professional in her interactions with us, with other realtors and with the people who eventually bought our old home. At every turn, she kept us informed of what was happening and why. She even helped by referring us to inspectors and other professionals as we needed them. She is pleasant, thorough and devoted to satisfying her clients. And we are proof: we love our new home and feel grateful to have sold the old one quickly and for a good price.
Linda proved to be so much more than a real estate agent trying to make a sale, she was sincere in her efforts to pair us with the appropriate home. She has fulfilled our dreams. She is a major wealth of information and a true ambassador for the Sarasota area. She is extremely knowledgeable, dedicated and proficient, and covered all the bases in our transaction. Our best decision was to employ the use of Michael Saunders and take advantage of Linda's expertise.
Linda Thompson is resourceful, energetic, focused and flexible. She knows the market, is very knowledgeable of the area and certainly does not lack in experience. Most professional and personable with great customer service. You know you are #1 when working with Linda. I wouldn't hesitate a second to call Linda if I ever needed a realtor again. She knows how to make things happen. What a plus for Michael Saunders & Co. Thank you Linda. The Chapins
Linda Thompson is a force to be reckoned, and my wife and I were lucky enough to have her by our side. She was always ready with helpful information and tips to help us find the home that was perfect for us. She was always ready with new places to investigate and gladly accepted and worked with our requirements. She deftly handled paperwork, streamlined the process and we never would have found the home of our dreams if it weren't for Linda!
Linda Thompson recently represented me in the sale of my parents condo. Throughout the process, Linda was thorough and her advice and guidance were invaluable, especially since I live out of state. She not only made herself readily available for showings and to facilitate the details of the closing but also used innovative marketing approaches to best showcase the property. I highly recommend Linda!
My fiancé and I purchased a home in Lido Key through Linda. We had never met and during an open house decided to put in an offer. Linda was very instrumental in helping us acquire the home. We were able to negotiate the home for the price we wanted. And her assistance did not stop there. During the process, Linda went above and beyond. Even after the sale was complete, she was there for us. Please look her up, I highly recommend her services
Linda was the perfect real estate agent for my transaction. I normally shy away from working with realtors but I was recommended to Linda and she was professional, detail oriented, listened and met my needs. I had not purchased a home on my own prior to this. She researched all aspects on an ongoing basis, gave me specific time lines and refered me to excellent competant people for everything from my loan to insurance and home inspection professionals. I will recommend her highly for any of my friends to assist in a smooth, painless and truly enjoyable home buying experience. You cant ask for anyone better!
Linda was the only agent who seemed to provide a useful market analysis of my home after very thorough research and careful consideration of the unique features and significant restoration. Throughout the process, I never once felt pressured or patronized, but her explanations gave me confidence and I felt I could trust in her expertise. She was in touch whenever it was necessary and I never felt ignored. I’d highly recommend Linda Thompson as your real estate agent.
Linda did an incredible job when helping to sell my property. She advertised in multiple places, held open houses and even changed the property description periodically. She was very professional at all times. And she kept me well informed through all aspects of the closing.
From start to finish, Linda was a true professional and impressed us with her knowledge of the real estate business/current market, her attention to detail and her thoughtful help and guidance through the myriad twists and turns in choosing a home. She demonstrated solid knowledge of all aspects of a home purchase including technical issues on home quality & construction, neighborhood considerations, aesthetics, market conditions, fair market value, etc.
Linda helped us find a condo that we liked and that met our needs. She was willing to take the time and show us multiple locations/condos so we were sure our choice wss the best one for us. She is knowledgeable about the area and the ultimate professional. Understood what we needed to do for a 1031 Exchange. Highly recommend her.
I would recommend Linda to everyone for any real estate needs! Her professionalism, knowledge of the market and especially her determination to service her customers throughout the process is exemplary !!
Linda made my real estate transaction a seemless and trouble free transaction. She is very professional......Great job Linda!
Linda did a wonderful job for us. She correctly gauged how much our house was worth when we were clueless. We'd been living in the same location for 28 years and on an acre with not much like us around us. She protected our interests by writing a contract that kept us in our house until WE needed to move. She was the all important buffer between the purchaser and ourselves but kept us in the loop. She dealt with a lot of things and kept the process moving. My husband and I whole heartedly recommend her.
I want to echo the comments submitted by my wife, Karen Snyder, with respect to Linda. She patiently and competently guided us through the selection process and, once we decided on a property, moved us along the path to a successful purchase. Further, after the closing she stayed with us to iron out the wrinkles that arise when buyers are out of state. She stands head and shoulders above her peers as a real estate professional and is a genuine person.
Linda Thompson did an excellent job of selling our mothers condominium. From our first meeting, the advice and guidance she provided was accurate and timely and together with the Michael Saunders team she had our condominium sold within just four days. She worked tirelessly to assist in finding top grade workers for necessary repairs, put together a great marketing presentation and post sale kept the buyers professionals moving along to bring us to a successful close. If you need a professional realtor we highly recommend Linda - she is energetic, dedicated, knowledgable and gets the job done.
This was our first venture into selling a property. Linda was very helpful, knowledgeable, and patient with us as we worked out the details. Her expertise and suggestions were key elements in giving our condo the best opportunity for negotiating a quick and successful sale. We highly recommend her to anyone who wishes to utilize a broker to assist them in buying or selling a property.
I have just recently sold my home and purchased a new home with Linda's help. She has valuable experience in home sales in the area and helped us with a greatly with the question location and pricing of property. She is very detailed orientated and made sure we understood the details in reading of contracts for mortgages, insurance, etc. I highly recommend you consider Linda Thompson if you are buy or selling a home.
Linda was very professional in assessing our priorities, selling our Dad's house quickly to a buyer well suited to the neighborhood, and helped us get the house ready to sell by determining what repairs and maintenance really needed to be done before selling. With family members living thousands of miles away from Sarasota, it was helpful to have Linda there to handle all aspects of the preparation and sale. We were satisfied with the selling price and happy with the ease of the whole process. I would definitely recommend her and the agency to other home buyers and sellers.
Linda Thompson helped us find our new home. It has been several months since the purchase, and I apologize for taking so long to send you my feedback. The truth is, Linda deserves a medal for all we put her through. My husband and I actually bought a home in Port Charlotte, therefore traveling Linda far away from her usual base. I know this wasn't easy for her. It was time consuming and put her in a crunch at times. We are very much appreciative of her professionalism, patience, and determination to be sure that we were happy! We will always be thankful to Linda. And certainly recommend her as the best and most knowledgeable real estate agent to work with.
We were so fortunate to have found Linda Thompson when we began the journey to find a second home in Sarasota. As a real estate professional, she helped us find just the right house in the neighborhood of our choice for a desired price. She was patient as we traveled from the Midwest to look at properties over many months and provided necessary insight, perspective and guidance on the many facets of home purchase. She was generous with meaningful information, and was quick to respond to all of our questions and meet our information needs. She was kind, generous and polite, and under all circumstances professional. Linda was always on our side seeking to make our house purchase as uncomplicated and successful as possible. She was tremendous at being focused on answering our questions, delivering to us good advice in a timely manner, and finding properties that met our needs. We highly recommend her.
Linda Thompson was the realtor we dealt with in helping with the sale of a house in Gulfport, FL and looking for an investment condominium in Sarasota in order to complete a 1031 exchange. She located a realtor who was able to guide us in the sale in Gulfport and helped achieve a cash sale within 30 days of putting our property on the market. After this was completed she took time and gave advice as we looked for the best purchase to meet our needs and most of all our wants. She never made us feel that we were taking up her time needlessly, took the time to show us multiple properties in different locations so we were sure of our choice. She was knowledgeable in the area. We feel Linda went the extra mile to show us the property which we ended up purchasing, multiple times at our request. She was able to help negotiate problems when the selling realtors did not complete things and was very instrumental in making this purchase a success in the time frame we were looking for. We would definitely recommend her and utilize her services again if needed.
When I decided to sell my home and buy a home in a different location, Linda was right there through the whole process. In selling my home, Linda's expertise shone through in the pricing and marketing. Not only did she make sure the home showed in the best possible way, she always kept me informed – never dictating anything, but giving me all the information I needed to make important decisions. I valued her professional opinion and asked for it often; she respected my wishes on every part of the transaction and made sure I was comfortable every step of the way. In searching for a new home, Linda gave me many options, and she was tireless in looking for just the right home for me. She knew I wasn't sure exactly what I was looking for, and started with lots of different options. She was incredibly patient and encouraging, and carefully listened to my reactions to different homes. She listened so carefully, she would remind me weeks later that I had liked a particular feature of a home, and was looking for that feature in choosing other homes for us to visit. Her memory and attention to detail is impressive! When we found the perfect home for me, Linda was there to help me with information each step of the way, checking often to make sure I was on track with the details, and always responding quickly to questions via email, text or phone. It's hard to imagine anyone as engaged in the process, or as generous with her time. I always recommend Linda to anyone buying or selling a home – I want them to have the same great experience that I had.
