Testimonials

It is my distinct privilege to recommend Lynda Ballin. She excels in every aspect of real estate transactions and whether you are a buyer or seller, you will be getting the best representation. I've had the pleasure of working with Lynda in both situations. When I was selling my home in Pebble Beach, Lynda worked tirelessly under difficult circumstances to make sure my property was presented in the best possible light both on line and in multiple media formats. Lynda conducted the showings with great finesse and grace. She has the type of warm personality that draws people in without being pushy or intrusive. Lynda is completely competent while never coming across as intimidating or flaunting her knowledge. One of her greatest assets is her ability to listen carefully to buyers and sellers and to really understand their needs and desires. As a buyer, searching diligently for a property in Carmel by the Sea, Lynda is on top of every new listing that could possibly meet my criteria - sometimes bringing them to me before they reach the general public. Since I am often out of state, Lynda will go to a property and use FaceTime to show the property to me via cell phone. Lynda truly cares about finding her clients the absolute right property to fit their needs. Unlike some in the business, Lynda is all about her clients rather than being just about the deal. But, when the property is a good match, Lynda can and does make the deal happen. She is detail oriented, an excellent negotiator and persistent in seeing the deal through to completion. She handles the sale smoothly, on time and manages to keep both sides happy and moving forward until the SOLD sign is up. Being responsive is a key quality in Lynda's business practice. She's a busy lady, but never too busy to stay in touch. She is diligent in her communications. She will get right back to you whether you prefer email, text or phone calls. She stays on top of everything and nothing is left undone. I was fortunate to find Lynda when she was working for another firm in Carmel and I followed her to Alain Pinel, Carmel Realty Company and now, Compass since there is no one I'd rather have as my agent. I believe that as a result of doing business with Lynda, my life has been enhanced and the relationship will be a lasting one. Thank you Lynda.

I've had the pleasure of working with Lynda Ballin in search of a property at Pebble Beach. She is quite personable and takes the time to get to know the clients' needs. She considers what is important to the clients and advises accordingly. I trusted that she would represent me well and found a property that is perfectly suited for my family. Integrity and work ethics are two things that I value in any business relationship, and I've found them in Lynda. I look forward to continuing the relationship with Lynda, in business and personal settings.

Lynda did a great job representing my house in Pebble Beach. She was the consummate professional as well as being positive, diligent and always available. There is no question she cannot answer and no problem she cannot find a solution for. Lynda is patient and listens to concerns and communicates well. I could not imagine a realtor who possesses all the qualities Lynda shows while being a genuine, caring individual. She is a strong member of the community and understands how to see things from the viewpoint of her client. Best realtor ever!

Lynda Ballin is the consummate professional. She is completely and utterly competent while exuding intelligence, knowledge and a professional warmth that is very engaging. Lynda is able to keep many real estate balls juggling at the same time and is truly unflappable. Having had the opportunity to see her in action from all angles as both a seller and buyer, I can and do recommend her without reservation for all your real estate transactions. Lynda will take good care of you and put your needs as the client first.

I had the pleasure of working with Lynda Ballin in purchasing a home in the Carmel / Monterey area. Unfortunately, my business took me out of state before Lynda and I could find the perfect home. Working with Lynda was a pleasure. She was professional, knowledgeable on the inventory, and listened to my needs in a home to purchase. She was prompt on returning calls and setting up showings. I highly recommend Lynda Ballin as a Real Estate Agent and am proud to call her a friend.

Lynda is very personable, knowledgeable and easy to work with! We needed to sell our condo (which we bought with her as our Realtor) quickly, because our new house was ready to be moved into. Lynda was great at showcasing our condo, and quickly selling it for a higher price than expected. We would definitely recommend Lynda to anyone interested in buying or selling a house.
