About Linda

"I have learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel." Maya Angelou As a committed Real Estate Professional for Coldwell Banker Realty in the San Francisco Bay area, Linda Crose-Andersen discovered her true calling in real estate after an early career in social science.

In this role, she learned the fundamental skill of “active listening,” enabling her to engage with her clients on a profound level. Now an award-winning agent, Linda prides herself on her ability to connect with clients and support them before, during and after a sale.

She takes the extra steps to help buyers establish roots in their new community, be it by finding a locksmith or a tradesperson or locating a babysitter for a family new to the area, focusing on the “unexpected extras.” She employs a transaction coordinator to handle paperwork, freeing her to focus on the needs of the client.
