Testimonials

Linda Humason - Award-Winning Realtor for Client Service Excellence

Linda Humason has over ten years of experience as a Realtor in southwest Washington.

At her previous company, Century 21 Cascade Pacific, she was presented with the Century 21® Quality Client Service Pinnacle Producer award five times.

At the time, she was the only agent in her company’s office to ever have won this honor, and one of only eleven Century 21 agents to earn the award in her sales region of Washington and Oregon.

The Century 21® Quality Client Service Pinnacle Producer awards were given to Linda as a result of confidential client surveys sent from Century 21 corporate headquarters and completed by Linda’s clients after the close of their real estate transaction with her. When she left Century 21, about 70% of her real estate business was from repeat clients and their referrals as a result of her outstanding professionalism and client service excellence.

Below are some of the testimonials Linda's past clients wrote about their experiences working with her to buy or sell their properties in southwest Washington.

Linda Humason could be a poster child for [honesty, integrity, and professionalism].

We are a private reserved couple with very definite opinions of honesty, integrity, and professionalism. Linda Humason could be a poster child for these attributes. Her warm no-nonsense approach put us at ease and whatever preconceptions or misgivings we might have had with regard to working with a professional realtor, Linda put to rest immediately. She understood how overwhelming a task finding a new home can be and was able to reduce everything to a proper perspective. If we had a question she couldn’t readily answer, she said so and then proceeded to find the right answer or answers for us. We looked at quite a few homes before we found the perfect one for us and throughout the process Linda couldn’t have been more helpful, supportive, or understanding.

If you’re looking for the genuine article in the way of a realtor who cares who has your interests at heart, then Linda Humason is the professional for you!

We would recommend Linda Humason wholeheartedly to anyone needing a real estate agent - she goes a step further than she needs to, every time. Above and beyond the call of duty. She held our hands and put up with our endless phone calls, questions, and catered to our every need. Linda has become more than a real estate agent. She has become a friend we feel we can rely on.

Tanga C. and Michael D. - Camas, WA (Moved from Florida - Later sold the Camas house and bought one in Vancouver, also with Linda)

Three years ago, Linda Humason helped us buy the house we just sold in Camas. She listed the Camas house and found buyers, then assisted us in finding a new home in Vancouver and arranged for a smooth simultaneous close of both properties. Linda always goes above and beyond the call of duty. She always goes the extra mile. She has become our valued and trusted friend as well as the #1 realtor for us.

...didn’t seem to just to sell me any home, but one that truly fit my needs and wants...

Linda I enjoyed working with you. I liked how you sent many homes to consider via the computer. It made the experience much more efficient. You were able to answer most questions right away, and if not then you always got back with an answer in a reasonable amount of time. Your flexibility in working with my schedule was greatly appreciated. If I were to buy a house again in the area, I would go with you again.

I really liked the after-sale service. I know others who have bought and haven’t heard a word from their realtor. You were also very patient and didn’t seem to just to sell me any home, but one that truly fit my needs and wants, which was great. Thanks for all your help. Overall, it was a great experience.

This is what the real estate industry needs - more people like Linda Humason!

Linda Humason was down to “Earth” and very helpful in taking an interest in my Washougal property; plus watching over the place (when I lived so far away). I appreciated the constant communication and the good feeling of the interest she took in my personal problems of selling the property. She’s very knowledgeable - not all glitz and show - this impressed me! Very sincere person. This is what the real estate industry needs - more people like Linda Humason!

She never once made us feel sales pressure and was always more like a good friend than a salesperson

About five years ago we started looking at houses with a plan to resettle in the United States after living for nearly 20 years in the Middle East. I explained to Linda what we were looking for and that we would be very selective and in no hurry to commit. Linda worked with us to show us houses that met our needs for the next four years. She always made it a point to manipulate her schedule around ours, as we were coming from Saudi Arabia, and was always able to show us several homes every time we visited the U.S. a couple times a year.

Although this process lasted for four years, she never once made us feel sales pressure and was always more like a good friend than a salesperson. We finally made an offer on a house, which was accepted and then started the process of establishing services and moving requirements. During this time Linda went out of her way to be supportive of our efforts to the extent that she made contacts for us and helped arrange yard care and other services while we remained overseas - this was after the sale, and at a time when other realtors would be concentrating on their next client.

Her efforts went a long way to make our transition incredibly smooth. We are forever grateful for her efforts and friendship and would highly recommend her to anyone wanting to either purchase or sell a house.

She knows her stuff and made it easy for us to understand the details of all the paperwork.

Linda Humason was a great real estate agent. She did a great job taking pictures of our house and putting together a great flyer which showed all the features of our home. She kept flyers stocked and followed up with all agents. She is great at marketing the house, putting our house on the front cover of the new homes/real estate magazine. She knows her stuff and made it easy for us to understand the details of all the paperwork. I would highly recommend her!

Wendi and Jeff W. - Camas, WA

She succeeded where two other agents previously failed.

While I’m certainly not an expert in real estate transactions, I have bought and sold several properties, and I can say without hesitation that Linda Humason is the most professional and effective real estate agent I have had the pleasure to work with.

The transaction that Linda assisted me with was not particularly high value but it was quite complex. Linda developed a comprehensive marketing plan for this unique property which resulted in a sale. She succeeded where two other agents previously failed. This is especially significant considering the fact that I have never met Linda personally. This was all done by phone and email.

Mark H. - Fort Meyers, FL (Sold property in Washougal, WA)

She became more than a realtor to us through this process. She became a good friend.

We are so thankful we picked Linda Humason to be our realtor. In just a few months she helped us sell our house and buy the house of our dreams. Not only did she go over and above in selling our home, she also found the perfect house for us to buy. We couldn’t be happier and we could not have done it without her. She became more than a realtor to us through this process. She became a good friend. Linda was an excellent realtor and we would recommend her to anyone looking to buy or sell a house.

Sharon and Jim W. - Washougal, WA (Sold a house in Vancouver and bought one in Washougal)

Most important, she made us feel welcome in our new community.

Trying to find a new home while living afar is a difficult and stressful task. Early this year we made two trips to Vancouver from Santa Fe, New Mexico, to scout both neighborhoods and home prices, and we tried to establish a long-distance working relationship with a realtor from another company. Communication, responsiveness and timely communication, was so very important to us, and we were less than satisfied with what we felt was our first realtor’s lack of time dedicated to us.

We chose Linda Humason off of an internet search for realtors in Vancouver; the hook was her 1-800 line and her lively, user-friendly Internet site. Once we spoke with her on the phone we decided to switch realtors. Linda’s enthusiasm and forceful statement of commitment to out-of-town buyers assured us that his relationship would be both professional and successful.

In the next few weeks we made several requests for Linda to preview homes that we found on the Internet, and to take photos and email them to us. She complied with each request, and helped us develop a list of potential properties prior to our third trip to Vancouver. Our time was valuable; we now had one week to find a home to meet our needs. During our visit, Linda devoted her time to us, spent long days with us, and offered useful information about community services, utilities, neighborhoods, and the like.

In one week we found a wonderful home, offered a purchase proposal that Linda presented to the sellers, had it accepted, and arranged for a home inspection – all before we caught our return flight to Santa Fe.

In short, Linda Humason provided professional, timely, personal assistance with our new home purchase. Most important, she made us feel welcome in our new community.

Linda is a professional “wonder woman” of real estate!

I am writing in praise of Linda Humason and the work she did for me and my family over the course of the last year to sell a piece of property we owned along the Columbia Gorge.

Linda is a professional “wonder woman” of real estate! Beginning with a prompt response to my first inquiry (when some other competing brokers in the area did not even return my phone call). Linda took it upon herself to immediately start the process of evaluating the property’s value herself and share the information with me so I could make an informed decision about listing it for sale. In addition to collecting the typical “comparable sales” data, she called the county assessor, drove over and personally walked the property, and researched the special considerations for a Gorge property. Considering my family had not been to nor seen the property in over 25 years, having someone we could trust to handle the transaction was absolutely essential!

Our situation was exceptionally complex (probably still an understatement), and Linda made the sale both easy and manageable for us. As I mentioned above, the property was a piece of land that we had not seen in decades, so we had no way to ascertain the value ourselves. We were trying to sell in a volatile market while fending off several “private offers to buy” from people who may have only intended to snag a below-market deal. We do not live locally and I was representing both my mother and my brother (and their competing priorities) as well as my own interest in all communications with Linda.

To top it all off, there were numerous complexities with the title - including deeds that had never been recorded, title changes, ownership changes, and idiosyncrasies which required numerous trips/calls to the county. Linda went FAR FAR beyond the call of duty to ensure that all information was accurate, all details were followed-up on and accounted for, and all the myriad of pieces were in place to conclude the sale successfully and with grace and ease. She most certainly has the patience of Job to have handled it all with such grace and decorum! She was always available for my questions and concerns, followed-up on every request we made, as well as numerous details regarding communications and filings with various county agencies, walked us carefully through all the necessary paperwork and procedures, and personally saw to it that the requirements of our complex and multifaceted title and escrow needs were fulfilled accurately, efficiently, and promptly.

Linda did more than “go the extra mile” to assist us - she went “miles and miles and miles” beyond that of the average real estate transaction! …And she did so with integrity, honesty, and friendly, personal service! Linda is the epitome of professionalism and integrity and is the very definition of a truly gifted/skilled realtor. She is a credit to the entire real estate industry! I will recommend Linda Humason with the highest praise at any opportunity!

By the way, thanks for answering all my calls with questions and providing knowledgeable answers.

Linda thanks for your help in finding what I was looking for pricewise, area and amenities. I’m sure I will enjoy condo living and the challenges of having a mortgage for the first time in a number of years. By the way, thanks for answering all my calls with questions and providing knowledgeable answers.

She makes you feel comfortable and makes you feel like you have known her for years.

Linda Humason was by far the best agent we ever used in buying a house. She makes you feel comfortable and makes you feel like you have known her for years.

Karen and Steve S. - Vancouver, WA

She has gone above and beyond my expectations of realtors.

Linda Humason worked with me for almost six months before I found the perfect home. She drove back and forth to Longview, WA to show me homes and to put in bids. She has gone above and beyond my expectations of realtors. Thanks Linda! If it wasn’t for you, I would have never gotten into this perfect home!

Katrina G. - Longview, WA

You were there for us whenever we needed you.

Linda, Al and I thank you for your superior help of selling our Vancouver home, and especially during this down market. You were there for us whenever we needed you. Your communication in letting us know what was going on was great. And even after buyer/seller had signed off and we had a problem you stepped in to handle it in our place after we had moved. We thank you so much and will highly recommend you to others.

Shirley and Al N. - Sherman Oaks, CA (Sold property in Stevenson, WA)

She made us feel very comfortable with her in the process of finding our dream home.

Linda Humason was a very nice, smart, friendly person. She made us feel very comfortable with her in the process of finding our dream home. Linda was patient and had given us all the time we needed. She constantly sent us emails of homes for sale before we even sold our home and was there for us in our search. Thank you, Linda, for everything.

Cindy and Mike M. - Vancouver, WA

We picked Linda due to the testimonials regarding out-of-state purchasing

We were moving from Atlanta and had fairly tight specs and timeline, and knew generally where we wanted to live. Linda got started right away and showed me the few houses that fit the criteria. I arrived on a Thursday, and left five days later with a signed contract. While we didn’t make Linda work too hard to get the sale, she was even more helpful after the contract was signed. I had to fly back to Atlanta, so Linda was instrumental with the home inspection (arranging and attending), and taking various measurements for me to assess what furniture to leave behind.

We picked Linda due to the testimonials regarding out-of-state purchasing, and she certainly lived up to that reputation.

Patricia and Alan J. - Camas, WA (Moved from Atlanta, GA)

...she was always ready and raring to go. I wish all agents were just like her.

Overall, our experience was wonderful. We had our ups and downs looking for a house, but who doesn’t, especially in such a hot market in our price range. I’m glad to have Linda Humason to work with us. She was definitely very patient with us. Most of all, she was organized which was wonderful for us. We had to drive a long ways to meet her and she was always ready and raring to go. I wish all agents were just like her. Very good person to work with.

Raggie and Irene K. - Battle Ground, WA (Moved from Kent, WA)

You were the best agent I have ever dealt with...

I know during the process of getting qualified buyers it can be a tough process. In the case of my raw land sale I thought you did a great job of locating buyers, until the right one was found to complete the sale. In other words, the property was never without a buyer. I feel your stick-to-it process provided the important numbers needed in relationship to buyers, to complete the sale. You were the best agent I have ever dealt with, in regards to my interest in the sale of the property, and in general, the whole process. Thanks again for your very well done, professional job.

Edward M. - Stevenson, WA

I have dealt with many different real estate agents in the past, but Linda blows them all away.

Above and beyond does not even begin to explain the lengths that Linda Humason went to in order to close on my new house. It was an extremely difficult transaction from negotiating to closing. She handled everything with a great sense of humor, professionalism, and patience. Every problem that came up she worked it out in a timely manner and went to great efforts to keep the sale from falling through. She kept us informed at all times of what was going on in the transaction. Every time I apologized for creating such a difficult and time-consuming situation, she always retorted that she loves a challenge. She was never discouraged or frustrated, or at least we never saw it. All we saw was outstanding service. I have dealt with many different real estate agents in the past, but Linda blows them all away. I will recommend her to everyone and will definitely be using her again.

Steven P. - Washougal, WA

She treated us like a concerned friend.

Linda Humason helped us find our first home in an area we've never lived in before. We found her to be friendly, patient, helpful, generous, and knowledgeable about the area. She treated us like a concerned friend.

Paige and Albert M. - Vancouver, WA (Moved from Maryland)

Her patient and intelligence got me through this ordeal of selling my home without ending up in jail

When I started this whole thing of selling my home I thought, “no big deal.” It was pure “hell.” I cannot begin to express my emotions throughout this whole ordeal. I did not believe for one minute how rude and insensitive people could be. Why on earth would people want to take advantage of me so badly? These “people” were the buyers, as well as the so-called “professional” people that represented them. I was at my wits end.

Throughout all of this I had Linda. If it were not for her, I do believe assault charges would have been filed against me. She was my “soothing” voice. My “explain to me what’s happening” voice. My very knowledgeable and likeable real estate lady. Linda kept the buyers and their agent from taking advantage of me and negotiated a fair price and terms on my home. Her patient and intelligence got me through this ordeal of selling my home without ending up in jail. Linda is and will be highly recommended by me to the people I know in my life.
