Linda Ross

Broker Associate

In 2008, I morphed into a real estate broker after spending over 20 years as an intellectual property legal recruiter. I found many skills carried over to my new adventure- including providing honest information to various parties in order for them to make educated decisions for their lives. Since buying and selling a home is a major part of most people's financial decisions in their lives, I make every effort to help clients better understand all their options and the potential consequences of each choice.

I believe I entered this field at the best time to learn about the tougher requirements and processes for buying and selling in a challenging market. I have learned how to market homes more successfully  and help buyers finance homes more economically with new programs.  I have also developed techniques to better help clients negotiate prices for homes.

My first territory was Hyde Park and the larger radius around it on the South side of the city. I have now learned the South Loop and Near North areas of the city as well. I actually enjoy investigating new areas and helping clients discover the best areas for their needs.

My children are now independently focused on their own paths for life- one in international broadcast communications in the Middle East and one in the US Naval Academy. So I rarely see either and enjoy filling my time with the needs of my clients! My goal is to make every client feel like they are my only one!

Testimonials

Priscilla Wilson

Linda Ross did an exceptional job in getting our condo sold! She was delightful to work with and always had our best interests at heart. The staging she did in the condo and the brochure she produced were both beautiful and certainly helped to sell our apartment. We often spoke on the phone and she was always helpful and kind, giving us excellent advice and encouragement. We would highly...

Frances Catledge

Linda Ross has the highest level of professionalism that is can be found in today's world. She is always a pleasure to talk to and always has a positive take on lefe that I find uplifting. I plan to use her expertise in all my upcoming real estate transactions.

Brent Fergusson

Linda Ross is the actual best person ever. My family has worked with her through two home purchases and two home sales and every time she is reliable and enthusiastically goes above and beyond. Oversaw movers taking stuff out of one house I was selling because I relocated due to covid. Met with my contractor to talk about the details of fixing up a house in order to sell it. Everything w...

Louis P. Bell

Linda Ross has been my go-to real estate agent for two completed purchases, as well as two offers that fell through. She has also sold a piece of property for my wife and I and continously exceeds our expectations, which is why we continue to work with her. This has been a 7 year relationship with a wondeful person who I consider more my family than my real estate agent.

Brenton John

Linda Ross, our B and W agent, had been absolutely phenomenal. She has repeatedly gone above and beyond for me and my family and I don’t know what we’ve done to deserve her. From the earliest stages of looking for a home, where she would explore houses with our kids so that we could look around on our own (we would often find her playing hide and seek or having a ‘picnic’ on the ...

Gilmore Mascarenhas

Knowledgeable and a wonderful person to work with.

Edward Brener

We are first time homebuyers. Linda took the time to understand our concerns and to learn exactly what we were looking for in a home. She answered all of our questions and worked tirelessly to help us find the right house for us at the best possible price. We loved working with her and will recommend her to family and friends who are looking for their home.

Carol Sterenstein

"Linda and I first met when I was looking for a condominium for my daughter. I knew I wanted the Hyde Park area but I wasn't familiar with housing there. Linda showed us a number of units available in University Park Condominiums, a property on the Historic Register. She was familiar with the area, understood our needs and worked to find properties that addressed those needs. Property re...

David

On separate occasions, I bought, renovated, staged, and sold a condo with Linda. Words can’t express my gratitude for Linda’s professionalism and friendship - I trust her with property-related translations more than anyone, including my own family. After all, it is Linda who provides downright accurate estimates for me as both a buyer and a seller; who informs me of the latest market...

Phillip

My wife (then girlfriend) and I spoke with Linda while we living in Pennsylvania and thinking about moving to Chicago. Our first conversation left such a great impression on us that a year and a half later, when we were a lot more serious about moving, we called Linda back.Being completely new to More Highly likely to recommend02/10/2016 -

Suzan Bernhard

Our agent, Linda Ross, was wonderful. I no longer live in Chicago, and once I had cleared out our condo, I had to leave the city. All the details thereafter had to be handled by phone. Linda communicated with me almost daily, and we worked very easily together, no matter what the problem. She was a pleasure to work with.

Michelle N. Pierre

Linda was wonderful realtor. She learned my expectations and then worked really hard to meet those expectations. She checked in to see if I needed anything else. She also connected with my daughter. Very happy to work with her.

Jared

I really enjoyed working with Linda, and have suggested other friends reach out to her about their own Hyde Park real estate searches!

Margaret Hoover

Linda was an awesome realtor, start to finish. She was honest and realistic, but always willing to do whatever we decided regardless of her advice. Her advice was excellent and she went above and beyond. We loved her.

Margaret Hoover

Linda was awesome -- she was able to answer all of our questions and provided thoughtful advice while not pushing her own ideas on us. She made our condo look great and managed all of the details of two negotiations well. We would recommend her to anyone and everyone.

Natalie Rubenstein

There are simply not enough great things that can be said about Linda Ross.  She is an absolutely phenomenal realtor and I would recommend her to anyone in the market for a new property.  As a newcomer to the Chicago area, I was completely lost when it came to finding an apartment.  Thankfully, someone put me in touch with Linda who greeted me with warmth and kindness.&nb...
