Paula Johnston Testimonials

Nate Gray It is with great pleasure and refreshment to give Paula Johnston due credit in a profession that frequently runs tardy and doesn’t treat each client on a level playing field. Upon corroborating with several agents and feeling as though my priorities were not running parallel to their own, I had the great delight of meeting an agent who was open and forthright in how the process of renting a property should unfold. By nature, I arrive early for everything so I suppose my inclination of Paula would prove true as she was at the first house she scheduled before I was. Not only that, but Paula has an easiness to her that made a process that would otherwise seem daunting, somewhat fun. Of the properties shown to me that Saturday, one in particular drew great interest and I will be moving in by week’s end. The entire process took under a week and whatever stresses amount throughout the course of such a process were quickly alleviated by the guiding real estate knowledge Paula possesses. She has my full recommendation and will be the first agent I call if I find myself looking for a new place.

Ryan Taggart I was looking to lease a home in Oakland County, and I was already on a search for over a month.  I had set up appointments for dozens of showings with many area Realtors. Every Realtor I contacted was slow to correspond in a timely fashion, and it felt as though I was inconveniencing them.  I even had 2 separate appointments with Realtors who never even showed up. Then I made a call to Real Estate One and the Linda Rea Team. Paula Johnston returned my inquiry very quickly and she had no issues setting up home visits and appointments with ease and promptness.  Paula showed up and made me feel very comfortable about the process of leasing a home, and within hours of meeting with Paula we had a deal done on beautiful home in Berkley. I was very impressed with her hands on approach and friendly attitude throughout the process. I would highly recommend meeting with Paula Johnston, and the Linda Rea Team.

Catherine Gaul I met Paula in early April of this year when I cam to Michigan upon relocating from Pennsylvania. My experience with Paula has been extremely positive. Allow me to preface my comments by saying that I have lived and moved throughout five states in the past 28 years, having had many interactions buying and selling homes through realtors and thus feel somewhat qualified to comment. Paula listens and asks questions to get to know her clients, thus gaining insight to meet their criteria regarding housing needs. Reciprocally, Paula is an informed professional who was able to answer my many questions such as those relative to current market conditions, negotiation process and pricing. She is a person of integrity who provided sound information and direction rather than mere “lip service.” She is patient, persistent and competent, keeping me apprised of many steps and details that comprise a home purchase transaction. Paula worked tirelessly on my behalf and was able to make an otherwise daunting task an agreeable experience. I would not hesitate to recommend her services to others.

Janet and Joe The Linda Rea Team” is simply the best! There experience, commitment to excellence, knowledge of real estate, and ability to understand the market is unsurpassed. We truly value The Teams attention to detail, follow-through, and honesty.

Kevin and Julie Simmons To whom it may concern, My wife Julie and I would like to pass on our experiences with the Linda Rea team along with our recommendation. With the assistance of the Linda Rea Team we recently sold our home in Rochester Hills. As the Rochester Hills property is the fourth property we have sold over the past twenty years, we consider ourselves experienced sellers. When we placed our home on the market, we realized we would be in a very competitive market and choosing the right team to represent our interests was vital. After interviewing four other Realtors, the Linda Rea Team was the obvious choice. It was apparent they had a clear understanding of the market, how to react to changes in the market and the professional tools to get the job done. During the selling process, some of the actions that we most appreciated were: The services of the “stagers” to help prepare our home for sale. The professional and ongoing advertising. The constant follow-up with us and prospective buyers. The sound advise on pricing of the property. The effective negotiating skills of the Team. The consistent friendly and professional interaction with the Team. Of course, at the end of the day it is results that count, and the Linda Rea Team delivered. While other properties remain unsold in our neighborhood, ours has been sold allowing us to move on to the next chapter in our life. In short, our experience with the Linda Rea Team was everything we could expect and we highly recommend their services.

Ron and Kim Wattles Thanks to you and your team for all the hard work selling our home. We really appreciate the special treatment you gave us.

Jennifer and Tim She called me and said, bring your checkbook. We love that house and will live in it the rest of our lives.

Jean and George Experience really made the difference! No hard sell was great as well!

Ron and Jan The team truly did what they said they would do! Selling our home in record time was truly remarkable in a slower market. The team also listened to our needs and found our new home, which is close to perfect for us. The deal went smooth and we would recommend The Linda Rea Team to anyone in need of a move.

Sara She’s the best and she sold my house VERY QUICKLY!

Karen M. I listed and sold my home through Linda Rea, the agent Paula was super! She was very professional, quick and knowledgeable! The house sold within 12 days!

Linda H. It is with great pleasure that I highly recommend Paula Johnston as a Realtor. Paula worked relentlessly with my family and myself looking for a new home. Many obstacles were thrown in our path, but nothing deterred Paula in our search. Her commitment to her clients in superior. Paula was always available, day or night, to take our calls, answer our questions, or to schedule showings. Throughout the entire process Paula kept in close contact with updated information, encouragement, and support. She is dedicated, knowledgeable, and her energy and enthusiasm cannot be matched. I am very fortunate to have had Paula “in my corner”. She never gives up, and as a result I now have a new home!

Tom and Alex F. This is the third experience we have had working with Paula Johnston of the Linda Rea Team. Two years ago Paula sold my mother’s condo. We had it listed with another agent with no results. As soon as I signed on with Paula, we began getting alot of activity and got a buyer. The second time was selling our home a year ago in one day. A lot of preparation was done in advance on Paula’s part, but once it was put on the market it sold. Our third experience was buying a condo for our son a week ago. Paula has always responded to our calls and texts immediately. She gives 100 and 10 percent of herself. Not only was Paula our agent three times, but now she is our friend.

Lauren W. Our real estate agent was Paula from the Linda Rea Team and she was amazing!!! My fiancee and myself have never went through the process of buying a home before and Paula made it fun and stress free. She educated us from the beginning to end and was very upfront and honest about every property we looked at. She was ALWAYS available to answer questions or handle our concerns, and being first time home buyers we had alot. She was very persistent and professional through the entire process and because of her we ended up with the house of our dreams in our price range!!! We could not be happier with our first house and we have Paula to thank!!! I don’t think we will ever want to leave our home but if we ever decide to, Paula will have our business again!!!!
