My favorite part of reviewing real estate agents is reading their biographies and past work experience and finding all the different reasons and excuses they cook up for how whatever life has thrown at them along the way has been the perfect building block for a real estate career...because so far everything is the perfect building block to real estate (cue laughter). Linda McClain of the Grubb Company in Oakland, CA wants you to believe that her time working as the first woman hired into the management training program at United California Bank sets her up as a financial expert and therefore an expert negotiator of home sales. Fine, but then I like to see some actual substantial evidence supporting this. And unfortunately for McClain, there's very little of that to be found. It bothers me that she calls herself a seller's agent of 20 years and yet doesn't have any property listings to her name...anywhere on the Internet. Or even a list of happy client referrals to show that she's doing a consistent and super job. I'm sure they exist, but the point is, I'm not seeing them. So I'm not wagering my money on an unknown commodity.
