Testimonials

"As an attorney looking to relocate to Palm Beach my lucky day was when I found Linda Olsson. She is the consummate intelligent pro who brought insights and strategy to every element of her plan to help us get the best value on the home we selected, the home of our dreams. Right off, her knowledge of the market fundamentals and its microtrends proved indispensable in weeding out properties during our selection process. And when I saw Linda step into the negotiating ring it became obvious that we were going to prevail on price. If I could give just one piece of advice it would be to call Linda now just to meet her and discover certain opportunities that you most likely wouldn’t know about."

"If we could do 10 stars, we would! Linda knows the Palm Beach market very well – every nuance, every item that should be considered for real estate here, pricing, location. She is a wealth of information. She works tirelessly, is very professional, and has excellent communication skills. You’ll know what is happening with the home at all stages. She handled the sale of our family home in Palm Beach when my mother passed and my father decided to sell, providing excellent advice and guidance; strong service; comprehensive advertising; effective strategy… She is also very well connected with vendors in the community and was able to help us liquidate the home furnishings and household goods via recommendations, all of which ended up being 9 pickups and moves. Everyone involved was considerate and professional. If you want a quality realtor with proven knowledge and skills who understands the Palm Beach market well, you want Linda to be your realtor."

"Linda was referred to us by a close friend when we first decided to move to Palm Beach in 2010. She found a perfect home for my wife and me in very short order and proceeded to help us purchase it with no hassle. She introduced us to the previous owner with whom we became good friends. Naturally when I decided to sell the house in 2023, I turned to Linda for help. She helped me establish the price (more than my expectations), which turned out to be very appropriate. Her knowledge of the real estate market in Palm Beach is outstanding. She marketed the house extensively through her website and through advertising with immediate results. Once the sales contract was signed she worked tirelessly to help us find firms to sell furniture, clothes and other items. I was downsizing into an independent living facility, which required selling most everything in a five bedroom house. It’s very hard to go through all of this with Linda and not end up becoming good friends."

"We first went to Linda eight years ago when we wanted to relocate to Palm Beach. Linda’s work on our behalf resulted in our buying a great home in Palm Beach. We recently decided we wanted more room so the choice to call Linda again was automatic. This time she not only found us a great home, but sold our home in Palm Beach. Coordinating both the sale and finding a new property was a challenge, but Linda handled all aspects with speed, professionalism, and incredible dedication. Her know how in preparing our existing house for sale and the marketing of it was a testament to her knowledge of the local market and her vast experience in this market. Her take charge attitude and superior negotiating skills resulted in great outcomes at both ends of our transactions. I cannot recommend Linda and her people more enthusiastically. If you need a realtor to buy or sell your property you cannot miss with Linda."

"I would highly recommend Linda Olsson, I interviewed many Palm Beach Brokers before selecting Linda. Her knowledge, sales record, and loyalty to her clients spoke for itself and that is why I chose her. Linda’s professionalism was exhibited early on in the selling process, she is detail driven, followed up on all leads, and never wasted my time. She was present at all showings, was timely, brought appropriate buyers for my home and shared feedback with me in order for us to learn how we could best market and sell the property. I was impressed by her local and national advertising, and her outstanding website. She was available 24/7 to answer all my questions and to hold my hand through the beginning of a national pandemic. Linda secured multiple bids when selling my Palm Beach home and her tireless work ethic secured a price close to my asking price. I would only use Linda for all my real estate needs. I was beyond thrilled."

"Linda is an extremely talented and experienced Palm Beach Realtor / Owner, who I could not recommend more highly. Linda took me under her wing and put up with my rants and perhaps, even a little stubbornness on occasion, and successfully sold my condo, within pennies of my asking price, but on the condition that I was out in January…. So then I had to find a new place quickly, at a difficult time of the year, in the market… And Linda met or exceeded all my expectations, all along the way. Nobody in the business is more motivated, or works any harder than Linda, or is more pleasant to work with, when selling or buying."

"Linda helped us find the perfect condo at Waterview in 2017. Her attention to detail and personalized touch was great. She has continued to help as we renovated the condo. I highly recommend Linda!"

"I came to Florida more than 2 years ago looking for a new home. Linda worked with me for more than a year and showed me many different properties from Jupiter to Palm Beach. I was a tough sell, a discriminating buyer that had a specific look and type of location in mind. I thought something near the ocean or on a golf course would be best. Linda worked tirelessly searching and screening the listings and we looked at too many to count over 12 months. Thanks to Linda I found my home and she was great in negotiating a fair price. I would say that there is no one that works longer hours, and works harder for her clients than Linda Olsson. She is very unusual and this was quite apparent when we were trying to schedule viewings. Other Brokers simply did not have the work ethic that Linda epitomizes. Thank you Linda!"

"We have worked with Linda for many years. She has always been responsive, thorough, knowledgeable, and ethical. Linda is a true professional, but more importantly, we consider her a true friend."

"Linda defines the word tireless. The devotion to her clients achieving their objectives, whether buying or selling, has no boundary."

"Linda recently sold my mother’s condo. She’s committed, responsive, and thoroughly professional. Plus, she’s a lovely person who’s a pleasure to do business with. Highly recommended."

"Linda is an exceptional realtor and has incredible knowledge of the Palm Beach market. She has represented us on multiple real estate transactions in Palm Beach and we are absolutely thrilled with her service, dedication and loyalty. Linda has a tireless work ethic, fantastic negotiating skills and is available 24/7/365."

"Linda Olsson is a very special real estate agent with a tremendous amount of qualities including being on top of every detail and available at all times. She certainly knows her business and attends to everybody’s needs in a conscientious, delightful way."

"Linda was very helpful in aiding me in the sale of my Mother’s Palm Beach residence. It was a team effort and I was most pleased with the quick results and price obtained. I’d happily recommend Linda to other Buyers and Sellers!"

"My husband and I want to thank you for selling our apartment so quickly and so efficiently. I can see why you're the most successful and capable real estate professional in Palm Beach. We are glad that you handled our sale and lived up to all your promises. We look forward to another positive experience with you."

"I was referred to Linda from my cousin for whom she sold a property in Palm Beach and his experience was positive and effortless. He loved her straightforward and direct style. Linda was an incredible broker to work with selling my condominium in Palm Beach. She is vastly knowledgeable given her long history in the Palm Beach real estate market. She is talented, highly skillful and conscientious as a broker. She provided us with the information we needed as we considered marketing our condominium for more than a year before we were ready to sell, and her patience along the way was greatly appreciated. When we were ready, her expertise to assist us through the sale negotiation and closing (on a very quick sale!) was reassuring and supportive. She is always immediately responsive and that is a wonderful partnership to have in a broker. We also loved working with Linda and would not hesitate to work with her again."

"I have worked with Linda for several years on different houses and condos in the PB area and I have nothing but praise for her. Her keen attention to detail, energetic personality, and willingness to go above and beyond for her clients make her one of the best in the business. The open communication between all parties is also a refreshing change of pace. Additionally, her extensive list of quality recommendations that cover anyone from gardeners to air conditioning services have always been a pleasure with whom to work as well. I would highly recommend Linda to anyone looking to have a positive broker experience in PB. She doesn’t disappoint."

"I’ve known Linda for almost 10 years, Linda is a professional in the true sense of the word. She knows her market, has worked hard to provide me with market data on a regular basis, and is available on short notice to provide information, advice, etc… She has been honest and straightforward, which are essential characteristics for anyone I do business with."

"We worked with Linda in advance of coming to Palm Beach. We gave her a thorough criteria of what we were interested in. Knowing what you want and communicating it always helps. Upon arrival in Palm Beach, Linda had an excellent selection of properties for us to review. She showed us the variables in the market by location, style, and price. Within two days we found what we wanted. She is extremely tenacious, quick, and a pleasure to work with."

"Linda managed to find the perfect Palm Beach house for us which suited our needs beautifully. Not only was she effective negotiating, but also kept the lines of communication open during the entire process. We were very happy to use her and would refer her in the future."

"Linda is one of the most diligent and service-oriented real estate agents I have ever worked with. She pays attention to client needs, works hard to find properties that will be of interest and is very thoughtful about which properties are a good use of a client’s time. She is also very current on the Palm Beach real estate market. I have known her in a residential real estate context. She found me a rental apartment a few years ago and also found my wife and I our current home. She’s great, and you will be happy to have worked with her."

"Linda and I many years ago worked at the same law firm. She had great intelligence and initiative, and undertook many projects successfully. For the last twenty years or more, I have been in contact with her in the real estate field, where she is a licensed Florida broker. She is truly one of the smartest, most innovative and hardest working realtors I have ever met. Her success rate is fabulous, and she knows real estate law. It is a privilege to have a transaction where Linda is the broker. I recommend her with the highest enthusiasm."

"Linda Olsson was my real estate agent for the purchase of our family’s apartment in Palm Beach. She was very efficient, professional, and knowledgeable. Linda would definitely be our go-to agent again for any future real estate transactions in Palm Beach."

"Linda knows the Palm Beach market extremely well and is highly competent. She is also personally a pleasure to work with who actually cares about her clients, something of a rarity in the real estate business."

"Linda is a go-getter who really goes to bat for her clients–and gets results. It says something about her professionalism, integrity and personable style that many of her clients become her longtime friends. She has proven herself a fantastic entrepreneur and real estate professional in a highly competitive market."

"Linda, I agree with all the compliments your clients/comrades have said about you. You are a knowledgeable, caring and energetic real-estate broker. I’ve lived in Palm Beach for about 35 years, and know so many brokers, but I chose you. You know what else? Other area brokers only have good things to say about you, which speaks volumes."

"As a Leading Lender here in Palm Beach and other high end areas, we have the opportunity to work with many realtors. Linda has always impressed us with her true deep knowledge of the local Real Estate market – as well as her professionalism and commitment to her clients. Always looking out for their interest. We love working with her and would not hesitate to refer to any client, either listing their property or when looking to purchase a new home."

"Linda is a compassionate detail oriented agent who takes pride in working as hard as possible for her clients. Her main focus is to make sure her clients are thrilled with their real estate objectives. Her familiarity with the market ensures her clients the knowledge needed to make the correct decision."

"After a few false starts with other brokers, we found your ad in the WSJ and decided that anybody who had the brains to advertise in that paper must have a lot of energy. We were right! You have boundless energy, and you went the extra mile in every way, patiently showing us every condominium for sale that fit our criteria in the town of PB and then WPB, then every house and condo that was available from Manalapan to Jupiter Island and then every house, lot and hovel available at the north end where we eventually bought what we decided would be a tear down. You found us our architect, our caretaker (your brother), the dog groomer, the dentist and the hairdresser. You negotiated every aspect of the closing, forcing the seller to remove her garbage from the property, which she had no intention of doing, and, once the place had been cleaned out, convinced us that it would be completely habitable with a fresh coat of paint. Why didn’t we think of that? Now, we can relax and see how we like life in the north end and work on our plans to build while living in our house, which may very well be just fine with some R&R. I think you helped find us one of the best deals in Palm Beach, and you and George worked together flawlessly. There was no pressure to buy. The only pressure was what you put on yourself to find what you thought would make us happy. It seemed that you had all the time in the world to spend finding the perfect thing, and I don’t know how you do it, but you do it better than any broker we’ve ever worked with. You were 100% there for us, and you still are after the closing. I have already referred several people I know to you with assurances that you are the “best broker in Palm Beach”. Thanks, Linda, for all that you have done for us!"

"Congratulations, we are closed! Linda, you have done a great job for us. I really appreciate all of your help. I think we started coming to PB around 6 years ago, so it has been a long road. Nice to see it pay off. Looking forward to seeing you when we are in town over Canadian Thanksgiving."

"A terrific broker – and friend… I can see clearly why you are a successful professional woman. I very much appreciated your telephone call, checking up on me, and realized I might send you these photos which Paul sent me, after working on the apartment and helping the movers over several weeks. All this was done over the telephone and by email, and your recommendation was a splendid one. Like you, Paul has inherited us for life."

"Linda is a dedicated and resourceful marketer of Palm Beach real estate. If you’re looking to sell a property, I suggest you contact her. She’s the best we’ve ever worked with. I always enjoy reviewing Linda’s email newsletters, and appreciate her efforts on behalf of my mom. She really is a natural marketer: smart, focused, innovative, and resourceful."

"I wanted to thank you for handling our sale. I knew years ago when I first met you at an open house, you were a winner. You sold us “Trade Winds” which we have loved and enjoyed for the last 8 years. Your negotiating skills shined through in getting us that wonderful property. Linda, the way you marketed the sale during some trying times did not go unnoticed. You delivered on everything you said. As you know, I oversee thousands of real estate associates and I am glad I had you to handle our sale. Donna and I look forward to purchasing again in Palm Beach, and to another positive experience with you."

"I just wanted to share with potential sellers (and purchasers) what a terrific job Linda did on selling and marketing our unit at the Kirkland house. We had several offers in a short period of time and she worked so carefully and diligently on keeping the potential deals together. I felt we got 100% of her attention. Linda also did a wonderful job of staging our unit to make it have a “universal appeal”. Her assistance with our move out with one week’s notice between Christmas and New Years was invaluable. I would definitely use her again."

"Would I buy a home with the guidance of Linda R. Olsson, Inc.? I did. Would I recommend Linda Olsson and her company to friends and family? I did. After meeting Linda through a friend years ago (who also purchased a home from Linda), I knew that when we were ready to buy a home in the Palm Beach area, Linda would be our realtor. Over a two year period, Linda patiently showed us properties, always sharing her knowledge of the building, its location and the general condition of the property with her unflappable directness and refreshing honesty. In addition, in this ever changing real estate market, we truly valued Linda’s expertise and professionalism. She understood our budget and additional requirements. As our needs became better defined and we narrowed down our search, Linda immediately contacted us when she thought the perfect home for us had become available. She was right–it was exactly what we wanted and we purchased it immediately. In addition, Linda Olsson Realty also provided us with banking advice, contractors for renovation, and even drapery and handyman contacts to make the transition so much more manageable."

"I have known and worked with Linda Olsson for many years. She is hardworking, professional and tireless. She goes the extra mile for her clients who many times become lifelong friends. I rely on Linda for all my real estate advice and purchases in Palm Beach."

"When I started looking for an apartment in January 2008, I called Linda from an ad she had in The Robb Report magazine. Linda stuck with me for over a year, showing me condominiums in Palm Beach, Ft. Lauderdale, Boca Raton, Sunny Isles and Jupiter. Never getting frustrated, she continually sent me new listings, re-pricing of existing listings and new ideas. Knowing my wife and my likes and dislikes helped her get us information on the units she knew we might like, avoiding others, not wasting our time, for the sake of a sale. Finally in January 2009, she showed us the exact unit we were looking for. Right style, right location, right price and right community. She guided us through the settlement process and handled all the details. We settled in April 2009 and have enjoyed the apartment ever since. Linda really represented us to the fullest extent of her ability and she truly “Never Gave Up.”"

"We had the pleasure to meet Linda twenty years ago on our first visit to Palm Beach. Discovering Palm Beach with Linda made it a double inspiration. Over the years while looking for a unique oceanfront estate we were lucky to have Linda’s help in finding us the best available rentals in Palm Beach. And finally, one day we found our dream home, it was there, on the beach waiting for us… needless to say, apart from being a true inspiration, Linda turned out to be the best realtor we have ever met. We very much appreciate her patience, genuine honesty, hard work and kindness. Today as we enjoy our oceanfront estate we also enjoy Linda’s friendship and we are proud to recommend her highly without hesitation."

"Linda worked with us for almost two years, searching for a home in Palm Beach. I began looking for a modest condominium, but during the search my needs changed. The objective changed to a larger condominium, then a townhouse and finally a house. Through it all, Linda remained patient, energetic and very helpful. There was never pressure just to get a deal done. She really wanted us to find something that would make us very happy. Linda is very knowledgeable about Palm Beach real estate, she is always up to date on the latest events and transactions, and she worked hard to make sure we were always aware of the latest sales, new listings, etc. She also had a special sense of what we wanted as clients, and every property she showed us was worthy of the effort to see it. Importantly, when we finally got to the point of purchasing a property, she showed herself to be a very good businessperson and a very good negotiator, who communicated well with the people on the other side of the transaction the merits of the offer she brought. All in all, she is one of the best Realtors in Palm Beach."

"We recently worked with Linda Olsson in purchasing a property in Palm Beach. Linda is absolutely first rate. She is professional and very efficient. She quickly figured out what we were looking for and what would be right for us and then she matched us to the best places for us. She goes the extra mile and makes sure that her clients are happy. I have worked with many realtors over the years and it is clear that Linda is among the very best in her profession."

"Linda was our realtor when we sold our condo/apartment in Palm Beach last summer. The market was extremely slow at the time, but with her professional and tireless marketing efforts, we received a very reasonable offer and closed last July."

"Linda worked hard for 17 months to sell my condo in a very tough market. She was committed to working on it and persisted even when others might have given up. She is easy to work with and determined to work hard for her clients. I’m very glad she was willing to help me sell it and was very happy with the end result. Please contact me if you’d like more info about Linda."

"Linda Olsson provides outstanding real estate service in every respect. Specifically, Linda: has excellent knowledge of the market values in Palm Beach and nearby areas; makes good judgments about which properties offer the best appreciation and the best fit with individual needs; knows how to make effective bids and offers; has the energy and skill to move a deal to conclusion; has the knowledge and tenacity to avoid contract problems; is candid…extremely candid…in presenting her opinions. Linda does not just tell you what you want to hear; she is entertaining and fun to deal with. We have bought three properties through Linda, and we recommend her highly."

"Linda Olsson and her professional staff (which includes Carolina, her niece) really do seem to work miracles. For us, that meant selling an apartment that had languished with another realtor; finding our dream condo in a building where, seemingly, no apartments were available; and, later, keeping in touch with us about developments in the market. Linda is honest, talented, super hard working and a wonderful person all around."

"My wife and I first hired Linda Olsson in 2006 when we bought a property in Palm Beach. We have worked with a lot of realtors over the years — Linda has been hands-down the best realtor we’ve ever dealt with, starting with her diligent efforts to find a property in Palm Beach to a continued relationship that has been very helpful in introducing us to Palm Beach and keeping us posted on developments in the real estate market. I’d highly recommend Linda Olsson to anyone who is looking for a highly competent, well-informed, and most importantly a patient realtor who listens to her clients. With Linda, it’s not about her, and just getting a transaction closed but what works for the client and what the client wants."

"Linda is without question the best real estate agent in Palm Beach. She knows the market better than anyone and cares a great deal about her clients. To Linda, a client becomes a friend she treasures and looks out for. She has a meaningful career in Real Estate but she enhances her business by building strong and trusting relationships with her client base."

"We all know how uncertain the real estate market has been for the last 3 years. Due to family issues, my wife and I reluctantly decided we had to sell our condo on the beach in Palm Beach. Linda enthusiastically marketed our property with multiple showings per week over nearly two years. She protected our interests from those who thought we were so anxious to sell we would accept below market bids. Linda knew the value of the property and did not allow us to lower the price when we had offers below our asking price. She also helped us keep the property in good shape for showing during this time as we had a few minor maintenance issues which she handled while we lived in New England. She persevered with us to achieve a great result. Linda knows the market very well and can assess the value of the property being sold very accurately. She represented us on the purchase of the property as well and helped us make an excellent purchase. We made a profit in a lousy real estate market thanks to Linda’s negotiating skills and excellent advice. She is a true professional who knows her market well and represents her clients' interests above all else."

"Linda Olsson is one of the most diligent and professional real estate agents in Palm Beach. She is a true leader and not only talks the talk but walks the walk. She is diligently working for her clients 24 by 7. She treats all clients alike no matter what the purchase price or circumstances."
