Testimonials ~ Linda Surette
Provided by clients and customers of Carpenito Real Estate

Buying a house is the most important purchase you will ever make. Having a veteran like Linda Surette was the best part of the whole process. I would give her the listing numbers of countless homes and she would have all important information for me in a couple of hours. Many times sooner than that. She understood what my financial range (comfort zone) was and what I wanted for my new home. She found the home that I would buy and said that I would buy it even before I had seen it. She was right again. Thank you very much for making this purchase as stress less as possible.

I would like to thank the staff of Carpenito Real Estate and in particular Linda Surette for her expertise and knowledge of the local real estate market. We had multiple offers on the property within 3 days of the first listing. The whole procedure from listing to closing went very well as we left all the details to the experts at Carpenito Real Estate.

Linda Surette was the best person to deal with my mother-in-law. She has a tremendous amount of patience and was very attentive to her questions and needs. She is awesome.

Everyone at Carpenito Real Estate was very pleasant and helpful. It was Linda Surette that helped me sell my house. My home was in my family for over 90 years and not an easy sale due to a right of way on the property. After much hard work and persistance it sold. Linda was continuously showing it and worked her magic. I would recommend Linda and Carpenito Real Estate. Thank you so much.

In June of 2011 I decided to place the sale of my home with Carpenito Real Estate because I heard very favorable comments about them. After meeting with Mary Ann Dewling and Linda Surette, I knew that I had made the right choice. Their professionalism and real estate experience made my entire house selling process a smooth transaction and I was always able to reach both Mary Ann and Linda if I had any questions. There were so many details about home selling that I was not aware of. From the very beginning phase - the "Open Houses" to completion of the sale- the "Passing of Papers" I always knew, through their assistance, what had to be done and the time frame when everything had to be completed. I felt very confident that they were always working in my best interest. Mary Ann and Linda also helped me find a new home. I highly recommend Carpenito Real Estate to anyone who's looking to sell their home.

We worked with Linda Surette 15 years ago when we purchased our 1st home in Lynn and it was a wonderful experience so naturally when we decided to sell we called Linda. Linda Surette is a kind, caring and professional and made us feel like we were her only clients even though we know how busy she is. Her honest approach made us feel at ease and we knew we were in good hands. Because of Linda's precise and accurate market analysis our house, it sold in three weeks. Linda guided us through the process and was present for every showing, inspection and meeting at a moments notice. Linda, we can't thank you enough for helping us buy our first home and 15 years later being there when we were able to purchase our dream home! You are one in a million!!!!

Linda is the best!!

I truly enjoyed doing business with Carpenito Real Estate especially Linda Surette. I highly recommend Linda to everyone that is looking for a house. She was more informative than the attorney that did the closing. She went out of her way many times to help me. I don't know if I would have purchased this property if it wasn't for Linda. I will consider her a friend for life...and I will feel indebted to her for life.

Linda made selling the family home so easy. Her dedication with many open houses was greatly appreciated. I didn't have to worry about the little things since Linda handled everything with professionalism. I would not hesitate to use Carpenito Real Estate again should the needs arise.

Linda Surette was always pleasant to deal with. She is a professional, but carries out her business with warmth and caring. Linda was always just a phone call away, never difficult to reach, during our experience with her.

Linda Surette from Carpenito Real Estate has been my sister's realtor of choice since buying her first home. When it came time to sell my parent's home the choice was clear, Linda Surette and Carpenito Real Estate. We are extremely pleased with the service we received from Linda. She worked hard to make sure the house was priced correctly. As a result of her hard work, we had an acceptable offer within the first few days in the market. Linda worked to make sure everything went smoothly throughout the entire process. Linda went above and beyond all expectations and I can not recommend her and Carpenito Real Estate high enough. Linda Surette and Carpenito will be our first and only choice when it comes to real estate.

Greg and I cannot say enough positive things about Linda Surette and our experience with Carpenito Real Estate. As we welcomed our first child last year, we quickly realized we needed a larger home and sought out Linda to sell our current property. A true example of professionalism and good humor, Linda was always available to us -- even promptly returning calls when out of town on vacation. It has been a long way to our final closing, but we made it and the reason we made it was Linda Surette. We had many false starts and stops for a variety of reasons, but Linda always maintained a calm focus that one day we would get there. We firmly believe that there was no other realtor who could have sold our home for us. We recommend Linda without reservation and look forward working with her as buyers as we begin our search for our new home. Thank you Linda!

All I can say is, if I had more property that I had to be sold, I would without a doubt choose Linda Surette and Carpenito Real Estate. I was very pleased with the way everything was handled.

My experience with Carpenito Real Estate was extremely pleasant. My agent Linda Surette was knowledgeable and very professional. I realized more from the sale than expected.

Linda Surette has given me a wonderful experience with purchasing my first home. With my husband being deployed to Iraq I created quite a challenge for Linda. We did not have much time to work with and dealing with the VA mortgage center was an ordeal in itself! Thanks to Linda's knowledge and commitment to us we were able to close in just a little over a month! She always picked up her phone and would make it a point to "get it done"! I cannot say enough positive things and I would highly recommend her to anyone! Thanks Linda

Linda Surette is the real deal! Her commitment to meeting the needs of her clients shines through at every step of selling or purchasing a home. Thank you Linda for doing a great job for me.

Linda and Lisa, Thank you so much for the professional way you handled the sale of my mother's home. As you know, it was quite emotional to be selling a home filled with such wonderful memories, but after my mother's passing there was really no choice. With so much to deal with, I can't thank you enough for giving me the assurance that this was one less thing to worry about. I knew this transaction was in good hands because of the peace of mind I felt each time I spoke with you. I was able to resume my busy life while you were on top of all details regarding the sale. I will not hesitate to recommend you. My experience with Carpenito Real Estate, particularly the two of you was nothing less than first class.

Linda and Lisa, You will never know how grateful we are for the way you handled the sale of our mom's home. Not only did you manage to sell the house despite the tough economy we face right now (which is a testament to your professional ability) but you were able to reduce the stress and anxiety Mom was feeling about the sale and her upcoming move. After being in her home for 40 years and raising 4 kids there, it was very emotional for her to finally admit it was time to downsize. You were so compassionate and patient with her, making sure she was ok with each step of the process. She is now settled into her new apartment and could not be happier. The stress of that big house is now gone and she is able to enjoy her golden years without financial worries. We are happy to recommend you to anyone we know that is in need of a realtor. You are both outstanding not only in your profession but also friendly, kind individuals.

Linda, we want to thank you for being absolutly the best real estate agent ever. You were so helpful and considerate and agressive in showing the house so many times to so many buyers. We couldn't be any happier with all your in both buying 34 Biscayne to start with and helping us sell it again later. you are just tops and wonderful to work with.

Linda Surette couldn't have been more professional! Her attention to all the details of selling my home was limitless. I would recommend Linda to anyone who asks. I am confident Linda could go anywhere and sell homes. She is a true gem!

The service provided by Carpenito Real Estate was professional, courteous and very good. Linda Surette found us our dream home within three weeks and she helped us close on a house within two and a half weeks after making the offer. We were shown a wide variety of homes that met our general requirements and her assessment of the homes we looked at was honest and very beneficial.

I recently purchased a condo with the help of Linda Surette. As a first time buyer, her expertise made the whole experience a pleasant rather than stressful one. She was always available for questions and was willing to show me multiple options. Her manner was professional but also friendly and sincere. I would highly recommend her to my friends and family.

Linda was both extremely motivated and dedicated to help us find the perfect home. She made our first purchase enjoyable and comfortable. Linda went out of her way to accommodate us and touched us most importantly on a personal level. Professionally for us she was one of the most astute agents we spoke with and her personable attitude and sense of humor made us happy and confident in her to find us a home. We would recommend Linda and look forward to working with her in the future! A big thanks Linda!

My wife and I bought our house in October of 2006. During that time we were also trying to finalize everything for our wedding in November of 2006. The last few weeks prior to signing for the house were extremely difficult, realizing all the paperwork and everything we needed to have for the signing date. Thankfully, Linda Surette and everyone at Carpenito Real Estate helped us every step of the way. I'm convinced if we did not have Linda and her co-workers help, we would still be looking for a house!!

Linda I want to thank you for your hard work and consistently being pleasant throughout the whole process of finding my family a great home to live in. Carpenito Real Estate should have more people like you working for them. From my family and I, thank you for the hard and dedicated work you did for us.

Linda Surette did a great job in selling our apartment house, in spite of all the trouble the Saugus Town Hall gave us. Linda is a hard worker, a go getter, and tries to get the most for your property. My husband and I were very pleased with her hard work, and will enjoy her apartment warming gift.

We have just sold our home in Derry N.H. and purchased a home through your office in Saugus MA. After dealing with two different Real Estate companies, I realized how professional, courteous and easy to deal with your agents Linda Surette and Ann Marie Wilcox are. With all the confusion of selling and buying at the same time and with all the hassle we put your agents through, they were always the most amazing people to work with. From this moment forward I will only refer friends and family to your office knowing how well you treat your customers. Thanks again to Linda and Ann Marie, you gals are the best!!!

Linda Surette is, without a question, the most professional person I have done business with in the real estate market. This is our 3rd time calling on Linda in recent years. I wouldn't do business with anyone else! Thank you Linda for your professional wisdom, support & friendship over the years.

Linda Surette made purchasing my new condo so easy. Having worked with Linda before, I knew she would provide the information before I asked the question. She is focused, detailed and working with her was "a piece of cake - angelfood, naturally!"

Dear Khristine Valente and Linda Surette, My family and I wanted to thank you both for all your hard work towards selling my aunt's house. Despite the challenges of the current Boston home selling market and an estate sale, the home sold quicker than we expected, and for the price we were striving for. Christine and Linda demonstrated an aggressive edge and genuine concern for the selling situation. Should the need arise, we will undoubtedly use them again. We would highly recommend them to anyone, and feel good about having had such a positive experience. Carpenito R.E. is lucky to have such talented agents. Thank you Kristine, Linda and Carpenito Real Estate.

Carpenito Real Estate is the best real estate company to work with, the people there are very professional and very friendly. Linda Surette and Lisa Peterson were the two realtors my husband and I worked with and we both agree that they are two of the nicest people we have met in a long time. Both Linda and Lisa went above and beyond what we expected of them and were also very honest with us from the beginning about selling our house, which was sold in a little over six weeks of coming on the market. They also helped us find a beautiful home and we are very happy. They are easy yo talk to and very understanding.

Linda Surette was our agent last month when we sold our house and bought a new one. I wanted to let you and your future customers know how happy we were with her service. Buying and selling with Linda Surette was a piece of cake. She helped us find the perfect house to buy but what was more impressive was that she sold our house in less than 24 hours. No joking!! We found a house that we loved but the sellers wouldn't accept our offer unless our house was under agreement. They gave us 48 hours to sell our house. Our house wasn't even on the market so we laughed and figured that there wasn't a chance this would work out. Linda suggested we give it a try. She was very honest and straightforward about her recommended asking price. She provided information about recent sales to support her recommendation. We took Linda's advice and kept our fingers crossed. The very next day she called me with an offer above our asking price!!! We were thrilled that we able to find a house, sell our house, and move all within 6 weeks. Linda was professional and courteous throughout. This was the second time we worked with her and I highly recommend her services.

My fiance and I were looking for our first house. We were so pleased with our agent Linda Surette. She helped us every step of the way. She sat with us for hours helping us find exactly what we wanted and she answered every question we had. She made the experience smooth and painless. Now we have a beautiful house and a new friend. Thank you Linda and Carpenito Real Estate.

We have been looking for over a year with different agencies and nothing. As soon as we contracted Carpenito and spoke with Linda Surette, our nervous were settled. Linda took us to see the two houses we called about - neither would fit our needs. Without any hesitation, within minutes, she took us to see another house, which ended up being our home. Thank You from two very happy customers.

The services provided by you and your staff were very acceptable and reassuring. They reflected the interest and attention given to my situation. I appreciate the considerate manner that was exhibited when showing my home to those interested in seeing it. The realtor, Linda Surette, was professional and reassuring in her manner and made the selling of my home a comfortable and interesting experience. Thanks to all of you.

Linda Surette and Carpenito Real Estate were absolutely fabulous to work with. They made my first home buying experience simple and overall a wonderful experience. I would HIGHLY recommend Linda and Carpenito Real Estate in the future! Thank You!

To say that we are pleased with our experience with Linda Surette and Carpenito Real Estate would be an understatement. Linda Surette is an amazing realtor and we would highly recommend her without reserve to anyone who inquires. Not only did she manage to bring in an offer on our home under a tight (some would say unreasonable) deadline, in a slow market and over a holiday, she was able to navigate us through a difficult purchase and sale to final closing. Linda was always a calming presence keeping focus on the deal all the while maintaining good humor and true professionalism. In our opinion Linda went above and beyond to assist in the sale of our home. She made herself available to come out to our home to meet buyers, workmen, inspectors and anyone who needed access to our home when we could not be there. In short we highly recommend Carpenito Real Estate and Linda Surette. Should we be in the market to buy or sell a home again, we will surely turn to them again.

I cannot say enough about Linda Surette and the Carpenito Real Estate people. The services were excellent not only in selling our existing home but also assisting us in finding a new place for me and my children. Linda always put me and my family first and cared about the changes that would occur for my seven year old son. When it comes to starting your life over after a divorce, Carpenito understands. Thank you Linda and Carpenito. I love my new home and the start of my new life.

Linda made the whole process fun and exciting. She is a true professional and a pleasure to work with.

I thought I had the best service anybody could offer. I never realized how difficult it was to sell my property, but if it wasn't for my real estate agent, Linda Surette, who works for Carpenito Real Estate, it wouldn't have gone so well. Linda did a wonderful job. Her perseverance and patience was suburb. I would hire her again in a minute. I never believed there were so many legal aspects in selling properties and if it wasn't for my agent, Linda, my property would have been in limbo and would not have been sold. I thank everybody at Carpenito Real Estate for the wonderful job they did for me. I wish to keep my name anonymous for personal reasons. Thank You again.

My dealings with Carpenito R.E. have been a pleasure and a very friendly experience. My salesperson, Linda Surete, was most helpful and a person who truly cared and took the extra step in helping you through your transaction.
