Vicki has proved to be a trusted professional who honestly cares about her clients. She is knowledgeable, incredibly responsive, and a pleasure to work with.

Sold a home.

Lorie went above & beyond my expectations in selling our home. Her communication & attention to detail made this transaction the smoothest I have ever experienced.  I would highly recommend her!

Lorie went Above and Beyond helping us find a house, and at a short amount of time. Lorie is a Superb Realtor and would highly recommend her service, she is prompt, she listens, and knows after talking to you awhile, what your looking for, bottom line she has good taste showing you the homes. 

[Vicki is an] awesome agent, actually the best agent I have met. You can absolutely trust her. We are so lucky to have her as our real estate agent, and always enjoy the time to work with her, and I think other buyers/sellers would agree with me. I'm happy to write a review. Highly recommended!

Linda is an amazing real estate agent.  She is very knowledgeable in her field, is quick to answer/reply to any questions and concerns, is so easy to communicate with, and above all, gets things done and moving in a timely manner.  I really felt she had my best interest when she represented me.  We first met when I bought my home and she represented the seller and eventually as a buyer for me.  Years later, it was an easy choice to connect with her again to help sell both my rentals.  I strongly recommend Linda to anyone seriously looking to sell or buy a home.

I was referred to Lorie Starrett by a friend.  He said she was efficient, responsive and will definitely find me the house that was right for me.  What he didn't mention was how friendly she is and what a pleasure it was being in her company.  She made looking at houses fun and a pleasant  experience.  She always arrived at each meeting with a sunny smile and a positive outlook on the fact we would find exactly what I was looking for.  She was right! She always had several houses to visit in many different areas and made sure our schedule fit my needs.  As it turned out, I did find the perfect house for me, at the price I wanted to pay, and in a location that was ideal and better than I imagined.  I still talk to Lorie and feel we connected and have a special bond.  She always made me feel I was her only client and although I knew differently, I felt she was 100% dedicated to finding the right house for me and treated me like I was special.  I highly recommend her to anyone wanted to sell or buy a house or property.  You'll find the task easy and enjoyable if you select her an your agent. You won't regret your choice and will be extremely pleased with the outcome.ur move could not have been more complicated and pressed for time, yet Linda made the entire process so unbelievably smooth for us. My husband and I were relocating from Los Angeles for work and we had 30 days to find a home for our family of six!

Our move could not have been more complicated and pressed for time, yet Linda made the entire process so unbelievably smooth for us. My husband and I were relocating from Los Angeles for work and we had 30 days to find a home for our family of six!

Linda was in constant contact with us while we browsed the internet for homes. Her website updated us daily of the new listings, price reductions, and pending sales. She had homes that weren’t even on Zillow yet.

We had one weekend to fly up, look at homes, place an offer and get an acceptance. And we pulled it off!!!

I have no doubt we would not have been successful without Linda’s expertise and guidance. Linda dedicated her entire weekend to show us several neighborhoods and communities. But it was her vision and experience that helped us narrow in on an amazing home to purchase in West Roseville. She helped us transform someone else’s house into our dream home. She held my hand, showed up when I couldn’t, and gave me her opinion when I asked. I literally tell my husband everyday how much I love our home and how happy I am to live here, in our home, in this community.

I highly recommend Linda and her team. Thank you Linda.

We thought it would be impossible to buy a home with a VA loan in this insanely competitive seller's market (in fact, another real estate agent told us it would be impossible), but Lorie Starrett made it happen in only a month! I know that buying a home is supposed to be stressful, but Lorie made the whole process fun and easy. We are so happy to be moving our family into our amazingly perfect home!

She was very helpful in determining what our actual needs in a house were, our lifestyle and areas we were particularly interested in. She asked a lot of questions and provided thoughtful answers to us. We had questions on the condition of each house shown and she went the extra mile to answer them.

Linda was awesome!! Let me start off by stating I have had bad experiences with my last 2 Realtors of past and found myself being a critic of Realtors and the business.  We met and screened several agents before finding Linda.  We set the bar high throughout the selling process and Linda came through with flying colors!!  She advised us from the beginning and to the end on several subjects and was very prompt when we asked for advice. Now, if I could only take her with me out of state to help purchase our next home that would be great!!!

Linda is for lack of a better word a rock star! She doesn’t mess around when it comes to getting your house sold. She listed the house and on the first day had 3 offers, and we closed in 30 days from then. Linda is extremely helpful, and goes above and beyond to help you. We are forever great full for her help especially since we live out of state when we put our house on the market. Linda is amazing and she will always be our go to person. Thank you Linda!!!

This is my second time having Vicki Smith as my sales agent. Again as I expected, she prepared everything for me, the marketing, the pricing, suggestion, and staging (that was very helpful for the virtual interview). I believe that Vicki has a strong team to work for you. Very surprising, the offer was coming within a few hrs, and the house was sold and closed in less than a month. It was very pleasant to work with Vicki and her partner. I strongly recommend her without hesitation.

She was amazingly helpful. Starting out we had a tight budget in what we could afford for a house but whenever one popped up she made sure that we got to view it. We put in several offers but the sellers just wanted more than we could afford. We finally found a house we like a lot and had our offer approved. It was a long selling process for the fact the sellers didn't have all their stuff together but she did everything possible to get things going quicker. She even helped us save a big chunk of change.

Linda Grondona was a tremendous help for my husband and me during the whole process. I can say that the experience of buying our first home went very smoothly and was painless with the help of the professional expertise from Linda. We are so happy with our experience and would refer Linda to our friends and family.

Three weeks after moving into semi-assisted living, my mom made this astonishing announcement: "I want to sell the house." I (her oldest child) was "floored," and had no idea where to start. But from previous experience with real estate transactions my sister knew Linda and firmly recommended her. So we contacted Linda.

Three days later we were sitting around the kitchen table at Mom's house talking over the possibilities. Linda had done her research, and now that she had personally viewed the property, laid out a 3-option plan. Linda leaned toward the option that had the greatest potential for financial gain for Mom. Her recommendation matched my own desire for the emotional satisfaction of restoring the house we grew up in before we sold it. We made the decision to invest and remodel and then went to Mom for approval.

Linda swiftly endeared herself to Mom. Not smarmy, condescending, or the least bit manipulating, Linda approached her as she would have approached her own mother. She was warm, matter-of-fact, and wonderfully real. And Mom approved the plan.

Linda predicted that we could do the project in a certain length of time. And, under her direction, employing her network of craftsmen, we "flipped" Mom's house in a mere month--just as Linda had said. This included all necessary demolition, new central heat and air, new windows, new flooring, new paint inside and out.

It was intense. But Linda very carefully watched the budget (again, as if she was doing this for her own mother), eagerly involving me in all major decisions and product purchases, and trusting my judgement on several matters.

Additionally, Linda's wealth of experience enables her to keep things light. She knows how things are likely to go, and "panic" or "sweating it" is just not in her professional vocabulary. She communicates. Not once did we feel "left in the dark." She is also the kind of person who can make it fun--and (due to the intensity) we needed that. She was an absolute delight to work with.

One final, amazing detail: Mom's house sold for exactly what Linda said it would. Given that and all of the above, the person handling all our real estate matters from here on out is Linda Grondona!

My husband and I had a wonderful home buying experience with Linda . She was patient and supporting, specially when my husband and I were stressed out and frustrated with the house hunt. In the end , she helped us get the house of our dreams and we could not be happier.

Linda Grondona was just the person my wife and I needed to sell our house. After 25 years in the same home, we were at a loss on where to begin. Linda patiently walked us through the process and explained possible options. She made sure we expressed our concerns and expectations. Linda knew what needed to be done to have our house look and feel turnkey ready to prospective buyers. We sold our house for what we wanted the day after open house weekend. Linda was on top of every aspect of the escrow process to insure a smooth transition for us and the buyer. In the end Linda addressed our concerns and exceeded our expectations. My wife and I highly recommend Linda Grondona to handle your real estate needs.

I just want to let everyone know if you need an agent, Linda is your best bet. She was responsive, professional, and worked in our best interest in the sale of a home. She was a superb negotiator to our advantage in that sale. Her insight into the market was second to none. So would I use her again, would I recommend her...Absolutely YES!

And...just as an additional note, Linda has a wonderful, ethical, and sterling character!

Linda G. went WAY above and beyond what anyone could expect from a real estate professional. She worked relentlessly to sell my home in Roseville and also helped my sister find her dream home in Rocklin. Selling or buying a home can be stressful, but with Linda's knowledge, professionalism, integrity and kindness, everything went perfectly.

It is with the great pleasure and confidence that I recommend Linda Grondona to provide all your real Estate needs. Linda not only met my expectations but she exceeded them from her contacting me to signing the final escrow papers. Linda even came to my office for our initial appointment and she always got back to me when I had questions or concerns promptly. She was thorough in her research analysis in pricing my home. She staged my home personally in a way that made a some what out dated home transform into what looked like a model home. Her combination of pricing and staging caused my home to sell in a week. She negotiated the best possible out come for me. Her service, encouragement and superior negotiating skills made the experience stress free. I can imagine how the process could have gone any better. Linda is awesome!!!

Linda will work tirelessly to make the process of buying or selling easy, She is always on time, does what she promises and is committed to doing whatever it takes to make the experience a positive one. Sold my house in a couple days above the asking price!

Linda was recommended to us by a friend in the escrow business. This woman knows her job! Sold our home in Orangevale in 11 days! She guided us through the process, and made it incredibly smooth. Would recommend her to anyone!

We first worked with Linda in 2003 on our first purchase of Acreage Property. Not only was Linda amazing...but boy did she have a great "Sense of Humor" as we searched for the perfect Ranch.

And when we had to sell our Dream Ranch, Linda was our shoulder to cry on and guided us through the sell with such compassion and professionalism. I have referred a number of friends to Linda, all of which have been extremely happy.

Ms Grondona was diligent, aggressive, kind and very easy to deal with. She is extremely knowledgable and shares information without hesitation! I would recommend her to anyone seeking to sell or buy a house.

We can't say enough how much we enjoyed working with Linda in the sale of our home in El Dorado Hills and the purchase of our current one in Lincoln. Linda is a pure professional. She listened intently to what our needs were and worked on our behalf until both sales were complete. Every detail was attended to and every question answered. Linda has a broad working knowledge of all the counties surrounding Sacramento, and she was patient and willing to take us anywhere to find the right fit for our new home. Even though she was handling several clients at the time we were working with Linda, she was always available to us. We are grateful to have found her to work with and highly recommend her to anyone who wants to have the most stress filled time of ones life handled with class and professionalism.

Helped us every step of the way. No better agent out there. She was available anytime we had a question and had the expertise to get the job done with flying colors. Without a doubt, we will use Linda for any future real estate needs.

Working with Linda was a great experience! As first-time home buyers, we were very impressed by how much we came to understand through her. She spoke to us as a professional, and as a friend we could trust.

She was open and available whenever we had questions or concerns, connected us with an excellent inspector with high standards, took care of our chimney cleaning cost, and even turned down extra closing incentives from the seller and encouraged the seller to put it towards our contingencies and a good transaction.

We are thrilled with the first house that she put onto our radar, our first home!

Linda is very professional, experienced, and knowledgeable. She immediately accomadated us after reaching out to her and was showing us houses immediately. We felt very comfortable/trusting of her given her legal/contract/local market knowledge. She clearly and thoroughly explained the offer and earnest money process and we felt comfortable throughout the experience. We ended up finding a house in one of her online search setups on a Friday. She dropped her Friday evening plans to accomadate a showing and helped us write up an offer on that house the same day. I would highly recommned Linda for any real estate transactions.

Linda was extremely helpful when we were trying to sell a house a few years ago. She knew what our asking price should be for our area. She was an expert at staging the house as well as suggesting areas that needed some work so the home would be presented in a great way.

She kept us in the loop re lookers and potential buyers and activity that had been taking place on a weekly basis.

We highly recommend Linda Grondona as the perfect agent to sell your home.

Linda was great from the beginning of our house hunting to the end. She helped us find a great house in the perfect neighborhood for us. She helped us negotiate a great price and made sure that the all of our questions were answered. She always responded quickly to our questions and requests.

I highly recommend Linda! She is very good at what she does and always aims to get you what you want. She goes out of her way to make things happen. I met her in 2008 and she is still helping me with my real estate transactions. I am very fortunate to have her as my agent!

I can't say enough wonderful things about Linda to accurately portray how incredible it was to work with her. We were selling my parent's home and none of us lived near the house. Linda took care of everything for us including meeting repair men and adjusting heat and sprinklers. The house was held open almost every weekend. The most amazing part was the communication regarding the sales efforts and feedback from potential buyers. We recommend them highly!

Linda did exactly what I needed her to do, sell my home in the shortest amount of time for the best price I could get. She gave me realistic expectations of what I could get for my home. It was on the market for 4 days and I got multiple offers way over my asking price! I could not be happier with Linda. This lady was fantastic and there for me every step of the way. I would definitely use her again if I were purchasing or selling property in the area!
