"As a member and past Chairman of the Hanover County Historical Comission from 1993 to 1999, it has been my observation that Linda has distinguished herself in the historical community with her membership and leadership in significant and effective organizations. These organizations have included:

The Hanover County Historical Society
The Hanover County Historical Commission
The Hanover Tavern Foundation
The Historic Polegreen Church Foundation

"During the 25 years that I have know Ms. Marks she has impressed me with her knowledge of architectural and temporal history. Her empathy for historic preservation is complimented by her pragmatic understanding of economics, governmental regulations and the political process.

"In the spring of this year Ms. Marks also represented by wife and me in the sale of our home. We have found her to exemplify the highest ethical and professional standards in her business dealings. She has been thorough in her marketing and sales approach, analytical in her attention to the details and effective in her professional communications and disclosures.

"I couldn't think of a better person to represent a real estate property, particularly one with a significant historical character.

"I have known Linda for over a decade, orignially serving with her on the Boards of Trustees of local organizations which oversee historically and architecturally important landmark properties. It was during this period that Linda's remarkable talents became so clearly manifiest to me. As I expect you know, Linda combines the qualities of integrity , intellect, energy and determination with a tenacious attention to detail.

"Since Linda's employment with your good firm, she has very ably represented me in a number of real estate transactions and endeavors, and I look forward to her continuing to do so.

"Over the past 30 years I have dealt with countless real estate agents, and when one considers all of the qualities which constitute a real estate "professional," I can truthfully state that, based on my experience, Linda's professionalism is unparalleled. In summary, she is a credit to her profession and your organization--a real class act!

"Just a note to tell you how absolutely wonderful Linda Marks was in the selling of my house in Hanover Courthouse and finding me the perfect downsize in Richmond.

"When my husband died last year and I knew I would be selling my wonderful home, there was no one else I considered to handle all the transactions. The land survey alone was a nightmare, but Linda's expertise saw me through.

"Having a unique piece of property, it was hard to find comparables, and Linda again was able to appropriately handle this.

"Her professionalism and knowledge saw me through a very difficult time. I sing her praises everyday.

"And I love my new home-it is the perfect house and neighborhood-and just one mile from my closest friend.

"And one other testimonial to Linda-my house sold in one day. I will be forever grateful to her.

"I would like to tell you what an asset Linda Marks is to Virginia Properties. My husband and I had the pleasure of working with Linda when we purchased our home, almost three years ago. In every aspect of our working relationship she was professional, thorough and committed to seeing that we found the perfect home.

"When we first began working with Linda we had been working with another agent/company in town for 7 months. We had written six contracts (all for over the asking price) and not received as much as a counter offer on a single one. Needless to say working with Linda was like a breath of fresh air. By the time we found our future home Linda had been tireless in her efforts to show us buying a home can be fun. She navigated us through the bid processs and we were able to buy our home--without going over the asking price! Our working relationship with Linda was such a positive one I was truly sad when it was over.

Your company certainly attracts quality realtors who care about their clients. The next time we are in the market for a house we will work with Linda Marks and Virginia Properties.
