Linda Rooney - Testimonials

She worked with us for over a year during a crazy housing market season in 2021-2022 and managed to keep us sane throughout. She is kind, easy to communicate with, she knows her stuff about Oak Park, and she is a great advocate for her clients. If you’re like us and worked previously with a Redfin agent, prepare to be blown away. We were skeptical at first but a good agent is well worth it. Seriously. On top of all that, she found the perfect house for us and offered to show it pre-MLS, rather than it being her listing months down the road and us competing again against crazy offers. Work with her! She’s the best!

She gave me suggestions from our first meeting on how to make the house more attractive and marketable, which were all spot on. As a result of Linda's suggestions and marketing expertise, my house had over 40 showings in 5 days, 6 offers, and I received nearly $30,000 over the list price. It was a busy but productive process, and Linda was there with me every step of the way. She communicates constantly with her sellers, and is on top of every part of the process. She clearly loves what she does, and that shows in how professionally the transaction is handled. She's a terrific realtor, and a wonderful person. I would highly recommend Linda to get the job done for you!

We had a wonderful experience working with Linda! She assisted us in both buying and selling our homes in Oak Park. She’s hyper-responsive and as an Oak Parker herself knows the market extremely well. Our process moved very quickly - we received an offer on our home after just 4 days - and she was so on top of every step, providing her insight and advice along the way. And to top it off, she’s simply a lovely person - my whole family enjoyed getting to know her. I would highly recommend working with Linda in a heartbeat!

She was with us every step of the way starting when we first considered selling and wanted her advice on preparing our home for sale. She was an invaluable cheerleader and recommender of fantastic contractors while we worked on the house and searched for a new home out of state. She was then a source of calm during the selling process. She prepared us for every step and was on top of every detail. She is also one of the most thoughtful and kind people I know.

Her extensive knowledge of the area helped us quickly narrow down neighborhoods. Throughout the purchase process, she was straightforward, diligent, and responsive, and she gave great advice during negotiations. We are grateful to have worked with her!

..our first buyer backed out for no reason) and she remained calm and level headed. She guided us through and in the end the house sold for more than even our best hopes. I would highly recommend her to anyone.

It was overwhelming looking for one. There are many real estate agents out there. I ended up following recommendations of other Oak Park’s moms who know Linda and have worked with her. We were so fortunate to have her working with us. I am a worrier, and I tend to get anxious about everything. Especially when there are tons of information about the home buying process. However, with Linda being so knowledgeable and resourceful, patient and kind, things went smoothly. She kept us informed and communicated with us throughout the whole process. And she was there with us to the very end. She is truly a gem in her field and we are grateful for everything she did for us.

Fortunately we were able to work with the most amazing realtor in Chicago, Linda Rooney. She took the time to understand our situation, and was able to help guide us through what at first seemed like an impossible dream. At every step Linda was right there to answer our questions or address any concerns. We left our closing equally excited about our new home and how smooth the process ended up being, all thanks to Linda. Anything real estate, she will absolutely be our first contact and if you’re fortunate she’ll be yours too.

....she made a great first impression and we knew immediately she would get us a quick and profitable sale. This was the easiest real estate transaction we have been a part of, and there have been many! Thanks. Linda!

She spent time upfront getting to know me and understanding what I was looking for. She was efficient and made sure we kept momentum throughout the search. When I was ready to put down an offer, she coordinated everything and kept me in the loop. When going through the closing process, Linda again coordinated everything with the attorney and mortgage broker. She was there every step of the way. As a first time home buyer, I appreciated Linda's optimism and experience. Thanks, Linda! I can't wait to move into my new home!

Linda Rooney is a source of consistency, stability, and strength. Her agency and insights on the current real estate market in the Chicago Area were vital to our search; her referrals were far reaching and essential to our purchase, and she was always there. There is not much more that we could have asked of a real estate agent as we reentered the homebuyers' market for the first time in many years. Our impressions of Linda's work are resonate and our gratitude is distinct.

She was great about sending us leads, honest with what she thought about the houses we visited, and gave great input about the neighborhoods that would fit our needs best. I would gladly refer her to any of my friends and family and will readily use her again if I ever need a realtor.
