Lynda Lear Balkema

Great experience first house I sold. Very pleased with the knowledge she has. I was clearly directed what I needed to do and what to expect. I would recommend her to anyone who needs to sell their home.

Lynda impressed us with her knowledge of the real estate market, and her attention to detail. She was always available to answer questions, and led us to a successful sale. We highly recommend Lynda to anyone who is planning to sell a home or property.

We have bought and sold many houses with Lynda and each time she went above and beyond for us. She is more than just a realtor, she was very personal and intentional with details and working with us. She was very knowledgeable and professional. We tell everyone about her, especially if they are looking to buy or sell a house!

We contacted Lynda Balkema when we found ourselves in a difficult position, after buying a home 6 months earlier we had decided we had made a mistake. Even though it was a good home we were unhappy with the location and wished to sell it immediately before there was a shift in the market. She quickly placed our home on the market and provided us with professional support and ongoing communication about all the possible outcomes both positive and negative. We sold the house to a buyer within the month. Then we looked and seriously considered several options before choosing our home, she consistently worked to explain options and provided us with needed education so that we could make good decisions. We love the home we choose even though it was a fixer upper but its location in the woods near Lake Michigan is perfect for us and we do not think we would have ended up here without her wonderful wise counsel.

Lynda is an absolutely excellent realtor! She was very knowledgeable and overly helpful throughout our home buying process. Lynda was always readily available to answer our questions and I was impressed with her effort to help us locate needed community services following the sale. I would highly recommend Lynda to anyone wishing to retain a realtor!

Lynda is a very skilled and confident realtor who quickly put us at ease as she went to work for us. In addition, she is a warm, genuine and extremely honest person who took the time to listen thoroughly and to understand our expectations; she then thoughtfully made suggestions with how to proceed. Lynda showcased all of the charming details of our Victorian house while being totally up front about a couple of issues with the house that a buyer would later need to address. We needed our house sold "as is" for personal reasons, and Lynda sailed us through that expertly. Our house sold to a cash buyer and thus we were able to close quickly! We also needed guidance in how to sell off a quantity of unique household belongings, and Lynda was a source of knowledge and connections. She didn't have to concern herself with details like that, but she did so willingly and we are so grateful. I can't emphasize how Lynda made the sale of our home easier than we could have ever imagined; she has earned our loyalty!
