Our mission is to maintain our clients for life! We provide services before, during and after the transaction is through. At Realty-Pros our client’s needs are our needs, and are strategically placed at the highest level of consideration. These strategies are our main focus in all of our transactions. We operate with a consultant’s mentality and provide services as such.

Our goal is to be NUMBER ONE in service not number one in sales volume! Our philosophy is to consultant with our clients by listening closely, practicing due diligence & providing viable solutions to help our clients make informed decisions. We are committed to helping our clients achieve their goals effectively and efficiently through a seamless process and a higher level of service.

Realty-Pros unique concept is demonstrated in every transaction regardless of the consultant employed. Our real estate consultants are hand picked and scrutinized to demonstrate a high level of emotional intelligence and cohesion with our philosophy. This process ensures that every contact with Realty-Pros will be the same and all staff members are pleasant and serve our clients’ needs.

At Realty-Pros, we understand that the sale and purchase of real estate is a significant moment in a person's life. The decision to sell or buy usually signals a change in the lifestyle of a person, such as marriage, growing families, job transfers, promotions, career changes or retirement. We understand that it is both an emotional, as well as a financial investment.

She was an associate broker with Time Equities Inc a real estate development firm in Manhattan. She founded her own Real Estate Company in 2002 and managed a residential and commercial mortgage branch office as well. She volunteered her time to the Staten Island Board of Realtor’s professional standards committee hearing ethic violation cases for four years.

Linda volunteers her time consulting homeowners seeking loan modifications in the pre-foreclosure prevention program at Neighborhood Houses Association, a division of CNYCN,

Because of her strong commitment to the community, she has included in her scope of services a Pre-foreclosure Homeowner Recovery Program. Realty-Pros team includes full time negotiators and attorneys to work with banks and homeowners to sell their homes for market value. The recovery services include debt relief and credit repair to help homeowner recover from their financial misfortune. These services allow homeowners to sell their homes or in some cases refinance to a new loan when there is negative equity (owe more on their mortgage than their home is worth), pay off debt with affordable payment plans and repair their credit rating. An important ingredient of this process is that Linda and her team negotiate with bank to sale homes for the market value and release the homeowner of the remaining debt not paid. Then, these homeowners are guided to an after sale recovery program to re-establish their credit rating. Linda and her team are working to help these homeowners who have this common problem in this new market. She helps pre-foreclosure homeowners to sell and avoid foreclosures and bankruptcy. Her most recent endeavor is repositioning properties by buying notes with an investment group at Pioneer Commercial Ventures, LLC.
