What My Clients Say

I worked with Linda to buy my first home, and more recently a place for my wife and I. Both times she's been excellent to work with. She took the time to sort out our needs and tastes which helped a lot in a competitive market for one of the homes. Her insight into the Livermore market and neighborhoods was invaluable, and helped us end up in a great place after working through several false starts - she...

Linda is an excellent realtor. She was so helpful to me during the entire process and made things go very smoothly even in these times of Covid-19. Not only did she walk me through the sales process but was there to help every step of the way, including cleaning out and finding homes for items I wasn't going to need in my next home. She was always very responsive and kept me in the loop. Linda always...

— Pam

What My Clients Say

Linda is an amazing agent and a wonderful person. I was selling a house that belonged to my uncle and that was in probate following his death. I live about an hour away, so getting out to the house to manage things is time-consuming for me. Linda helped in every possible way, arranging for all the things that we needed to take care of to get the house on the market and sold. She managed all kinds of smal...

Linda is literally a Real Estate Angel sent from heaven! Her work ethic is second to none, specifically her responsiveness, expert guidance, and professionalism.

What My Clients Say

Words cannot describe how happy I am with the service my husband and I received from Linda in selling our condo and purchasing our house. The market in which we were looking to buy is highly competitive (that is an understatement) and Linda was able to get us into a home that met every single one of our criteria! Linda is personable and treats you like family, making sure all your questions are answered ...

— Tomaz & Dana

What My Clients Say

Linda Newton was our realtor in Livermore. After 63 years, we had to sell our parents’ home, the place my siblings and I grew up in. Linda was very kind. Not aggressive, knowing we had to clean out everything in the house with so many memories. It is quite a process going through all the items. Linda guided us step by step with empathy and love. She helped us find a home for our mom’s beloved piano, as ...

— Adelle Button-Bell

What My Clients Say

Linda Newton was my agent when I decided to sell my house after my husband passed away. I needed something smaller since it would just be me. Linda was so helpful, including on the last day when I was cleaning and gathering the last few things to move to an interim apartment while my new home was being built. Linda is a great agent and a great person. I don't know what I would have done without her durin...

— Pam Drumtra

What My Clients Say

I've worked with Linda Newton on several occasions, both selling and purchasing homes. She is so good at what she does. She is patient, professional, friendly, and really takes the time to get to know her clients personally to ensure they find the perfect property. I wouldn't hesitate recommending her and Elation to anyone looking for a real estate professional.
