Success: Why and How

Business Philosophy

Linda Booker does not believe in doing anything half way. Her commitment to clients is to provide them with the respect and the outstanding customer service they deserve. Her mantra could be: speak softly and carry a big heart.

Marketing

Linda makes a commitment to clients to represent their properties through aggressive marketing and advertising campaigns. She regularly advertises her listings with AMC 30 Deer Valley Theaters, AMC Arrowhead Theaters, Harkins Theaters, The Republic Newspaper, North West Valley Homes, Homes & Land West Valley, The Real Estate Book Virtual Tours, Flyers, Multiple Listing Service, Realtor.com, SearchHomes.com, Kudzo.com and LindaBooker.com. Linda believes that the more you put your properties out there, the more chances that property has of being noticed and sold.

Sellers

Sellers are presented with a professional marketing analysis package that is filled with useful information about selling a home as well as the benefits of doing business with Linda and her team of professionals. The team produces virtual tours, listings on the Internet site, open houses and solid communication with clients from beginning to end.

Buyers

Using excellent listening skills and tremendous market knowledge, each client is treated as the most important customer. The West Vally Links page on Linda's Website, is filled information about living in Arrowhead Ranch, Glendale, Peoria and Northwest Phoenix, her areas of expertise. The General Links page is a handy gateway to assess Valley activities, news, and school information.

Best Advice

Linda's advice to REALTORS^® just starting out is to find a company and a mentor that subscribes to values such as your own. She believes that agents should not work at real estate sales part-time. Real estate is a complicated business and doing just a little bit here or little there is a disservice to you as well as to your clients.

If this is the profession for you, she tells people, then go for it on a full-time basis with all of the gusto you were blessed with. She personally believes that agents should spend a year or two as an assistant and learn the business from the ground up before branching out on their own.

The Results

Linda's achievements and awards deservedly position her as a real estate superstar. She's a Lifetime Member of the Glendale Board of REALTORS^®, is in the top 1 percent of Realty Executives internationally, has personally sold over $405,000,000 and approximately 1983 homes in eighteen years and just recently placed second in volume in the Phoenix Business Journal's REALTOR^®, rankings for last year, and received the 2004 Arizona Business Journal - Volunteer/Community Service Award. However, if you were to ask Linda what her real accomplishments have been, she would say "I feel like I've done three things right in my life....my son, my daughter, and Christmas Angels."
