With decades of experience serving homebuyers and sellers, Linda Hilton possesses a wealth of knowledge. We’re so glad she returned to our Windermere team. Linda has fascinating stories about everything from real estate transactions to her experiences abroad. Learn more about her in our Q&A below.
What drew you to real estate?
Originally, it was the flexibility of the hours; I had a small child and wanted to be there for him. Before real estate, I was in the restaurant business. Now I love troubleshooting issues that come up, seeing the look of happiness when a buyer client sees their dream house in person, but especially visiting with clients from 20 years ago who STILL own their house and love it after all these years.
What unique skills do you possess that enhance your abilities as a realtor?
I’m well-traveled, and I’ve lived in many different environments. I understand different cultures, ideas, and ways of communicating.
What personality traits do you think are important in this profession?
Listening, patience, and a sense of humor.
Which areas do you serve?
Kitsap and Jefferson Counties, what’s not to love?! I love the water, the mountains, and the trees.
How long have you lived here, and what brought you here?
I’m on my 12th year. We moved from Alaska to be closer to family.
What made you decide to work with Windermere?
I like Windermere’s philosophy. People and clients come first.
Is there anything else you’d like to share with us?
Honestly, I just love real estate. Putting deals together, helping people achieve their goals. I retired 3.5 years ago, and I found myself talking to everyone about real estate, so I’m back!
