Testimonials

Besides being one of the kindest and most authentic people that I know, Linda Havlik has the uncommon ability to listen to her clients with her heart and soul, in addition to her ears. Although I’ve not purchased real estate in Santa Barbara, I’ve utilized Linda’s expertise by relying on her referrals to agents in other areas. She has referred me to agents in Albuquerque, New Mexico, Austin, Texas and San Diego, and all three times the agents she’s chosen to work with me have been exceptional. They were capable, ethical, knowledgeable, and compassionate individuals, those attributes embodied by Linda as well. Not only were these agents accomplished in their field, but they were also able to work well with my personality type and acted within my expectations for attention to detail, timeliness and style of communication (those little “extras” that can make an otherwise good business transaction harmonious or not). In my opinion, striving to “get it right” every time is what sets Linda apart from her peers. You’re batting 1000 Linda!

I moved to Santa Barbara because of a job offer. I had a home that I loved and did not want to sell, which made me a buyer that was very hard to please. Linda listened carefully to my needs and showed incredible patience. She found the perfect home for me before it was even listed in the MLS.

I’ve known Linda for about 4 years. I have always found her to be a delightfully cheerful, caring, knowledgeable, thorough, loyal and terrific person. And not a bad Real Estate agent as well.

It was our fortune to have Linda as our agent to purchase our dream home. The sale was not a traditional one and quite lengthy (3 months). However, Linda was there every step of the way. Her support and attentiveness was phenomenal. By the time we closed escrow we had not only acquired our dream home, but gained a friend in our new community. She remains that today.

As the “room mother” of my Kindergarten classroom, she was warm and sweet. As the real estate agent who held my hand from start to finish, she was knowledgeable and patient. Today, 30 years later, as my friend, she is the BEST. Thank you Linda!

Linda Havlik has been an inspiration to me as a parent and Westside resident. She is constantly reaching out to volunteer her efforts to improve the Westside community and to our neighborhood school, Harding, by not only attending PTA meetings but volunteering at school events as well.

We love Linda! Buying or selling a house is hard work, and Linda helped us do both-with patience, humor, competence, reliability, discretion… Linda’s friendliness is more than surface-she is a caring, generous human being first, and top-notch real estate agent second- that seems to be the proper order. We’ll always be grateful to her.

Linda Havlik is a true professional. She has listed and sold three homes for us over a 28 years period. In the process, she saved us thousands of dollars in costs and fees, and hours of anxiety and heartache by watching out for our best interests as if we were her family. We love her!

Almost 20 years ago Linda found the condo that we now have in Santa Barbara and since then has always given us her time to locate and visit houses that she thinks would suit us. We are grateful for her kind efforts even though we still cannot bring ourselves to act. Thanks Linda. Someday the right property will come along.

I think we were one (if not your first) of your earliest sales when we bought the Hotel at 533 State in June of 1975 (closed in September 1975). It has proved to be a wise investment. Thank you for a great start for both of us.
