My experience with Linda Bruins was extremely unprofessional, and I cannot recommend her as a…read morerealtor. We rented a house she had listed, and she was supposed to resolve several issues before our move-in date, but unfortunately, she did not follow through.
The landscaping was overgrown, there were wires hanging from the ceiling, the HVAC vents needed cleaning, and the washing machine was in such poor condition that it had to be replaced. Linda even mentioned in a text that the previous tenant might have washed their dog in it. While most of these issues were eventually addressed, I spent the first month coordinating appointments and being present at the rental for a new washer, having the dryer cleaned, addressing the hanging wires, and communicating with the property owner about the landscaping, which, after nearly eight weeks, still hasn't been resolved.
In a text exchange with the property owner and Linda, she stated, "Tell her to be there when they cut stuff down. She knows what can and cannot be cut, right? If she's there, she can't complain. I liked her at first, but now I'm not so sure. I don't think it's the husband at all."
Considering the state of the property--hanging wires, a dirty washer, a dryer full of animal fur, and unkempt landscaping--these issues should have been addressed before our move, especially given the $3,500 monthly rent.
I urge you to make an informed decision when choosing a realtor.
