About Linda Hayes

Experience

Who You Work With Matters! 2023 Is going to be an uncertain market with shifting property values and fluctuating interest rates. As I enter my 3rd decade in real estate, I'm still constantly shocked at how many buyers and sellers are leaving tens of thousands of dollars on the table by hiring agents who either don't know how or aren't committed to doing the work necessary to maximize a sale. If you want an agent who will squeeze out every dollar, hire a Realtor who is skilled enough to negotiate on your behalf to create the best offer for you. Too many agents are simply messengers, not skilled negotiators who understand how to leverage your offer. Strategies matter and that is what I specialize in! I assist my clients with their real estate needs and aim to guide them smoothly through all stages of the transaction. I feel that real estate, done properly, is extremely complex and requires a long time to reach mastery. Consumers are bombarded with information, to the point of overload. All that information is ultimately useless without the expertise to apply it. I take this information and turn it into knowledge, upon which action can be taken to enable you to make a truly informed decision. Buying or selling is the biggest financial transaction you'll ever be a part of. The difference between poor representation and great representation can be measure in tens of thousands of dollars! The difference is a high level of service, delivered with speed and accuracy, and a high level of negotiating know-how. How well I do that is the key to your success!

Personal

When I walk my dog along the beaches in Swampscott, I pinch myself that I am lucky enough to call it my home! I was born in Swampscott and happily reside here now. I am an active member of our community and enjoy raising my two children here. For many years, I lived in Marblehead and have a deep love and understanding of both towns. I come from a family of contractors and have a deep appreciation for quality construction and craftsmanship. In my "down-time," you'll find me binge-watching "This Old House"!
