Linda Babbitt, Realtor: Getty Real Estate Services

Selling real estate was never a planned goal, but somehow it became the most lucrative aspect of my financial picture. My husband and I began “flipping houses” before “flip” was in vogue. We purchased our first home with “sweat equity” funds and moved up the property ladder from there. We have purchased, rehabbed and built, ten properties. We have owned and managed multi units, a commercial building and several single family homes. With each one came challenges as well as profits. Just as operating my own service business for eight years gave me the necessary components to build successful relationships, each real estate transaction gave me the skills necessary to take a property from staging to closing with confidence. Like many people, my personal life has had an impact on how I manage my business. Raising two children has motivated me to continually educate myself on a higher level, including negotiation skills. I trained as a mediator and volunteered for Youth Alternatives for several years. This experience has heightened my desire to insure that every person leaves the table as a winner. Nothing gives me greater pleasure (except maybe my garden) than a satisfied client. In conclusion, I am confident that I can meet the consumer’s needs whether it be buying, selling, staging or negotiating the bottom line. I welcome the opportunity to service you.
