A seasoned real estate veteran since 1993, Lina has gained the respect of her clients through her honesty, integrity, expertise and professionalism. She listens to her clients needs and works together with them to meet their goals. One of Lina's clients gave her high energy & drive a name. Dubbing it the "2 cups coffee rule", Dr. Wayne Smith explains before you meet with Lina, you should have two
cups of coffee "black" to be on the same energy level with her! Lina is a mover and shaker, with more than 50% of her business being past clients & referrals; she always looks toward the future to expand her network and build on current relationships. In 2010, Lina brought her mother, Gudrun Jocis onto her team, a perfect blend of managerial hands on style, with high energy and of course, the Jocis name. You often see them heads together... thick as thieves collaborating for better ways of doing business with their clients.
