After meeting with Linda and Kevin Sharkey, we decided to have them be our agents for selling our home as well as purchasing a new one. We were very impressed with their knowledge and expertise. They were a joy to work with, and we definitely made the right choice. I strongly recommend the Sharkey Team.

We had previously sold a home with Linda and and Kevin Sharkey. They are both excellent in knowing real estate and its present market challenges. They priced our home correctly and provided us with a detailed Seller's Guide/Market Analysis. Beyond their professional expertise, they provided us with stellar client communication throughout the entire process which is of utmost importance. They also provided a steadfast and calming presence. We feel Kevin and Linda are the perfect combination of real estate knowledge, its application, and reaching results for their clients. We highly recommend the Sharkey Team to future buyers or sellers. Place your trust in The Sharkey Team!

Linda was very patient and helpful during the search for properties that fit my needs. I was searching for a home in a very competitive, high turn-over price range. They provided me with relevant, new listings coming soon to market in order to help me stay ahead. When financing became a concern, she put me in touch with a new lender who got me approved quickly. This purchase would not have been possible without her reference.
All communication was incredibly fast, and they always made themselves available when I had questions or concerns. They helped me network to make financing possible. I couldn't be more pleased with this experience. I would gladly recommend them to friends/ family in the future!

This is the second time I have used Kevin and Linda Sharkey to sell a home. They are very well informed of current market trends in the area, provided an excellent plan to sell my property, and were right on with pricing of my home. It sold very quickly just as they said it would.
The entire process was very smooth, quick and could not have gone any better. Linda was wonderful in keeping my updated on showings and feedback from any showings. The entire process was managed wonderfully.
Both Linda and Kevin were extremely helpful in explaining their ideas for selling my home, the process, and expected timing of each step. They were very respectful of both me and my home. Linda was always available to answer questions, providing a clear and understandable answers.
I have used the Sharkey's previously to sell my home, and other members of my family have used them as well. They are so knowledgeable it makes what could be a stressful process quiet easy. The process for the sale of my home that they outlined, was exactly how the sale went. Truly grateful!

Linda & Kevin are exceptional Realtors! Their kindness, knowledge, clear communication, and sense of humor were exactly what we needed as first-time homebuyers. We have become proud members of the Sharkey fan club and highly recommend them for any home selling or purchasing needs!

Linda and Kevin are incredible to work with! They are consummate professionals and are incredibly knowledgeable - providing the expertise we needed every step of the home buying process. We loved working with them 10 years ago and again this fall, and couldn't recommend them more highly!

We were pretty entrenched in our starter home (46 years!), so when we agreed to see if there was a home with some things on our wish list, we turned to Linda and Kevin Sharkey. Their knowledge of the metro area real estate market and attention to detail were key in making the decision to sell our home and purchase a new one. From the first questions of why do you want to move and what are you looking for in your next home, they took us on a whirlwind of a few short weeks of buying, prepping, selling and moving. They listened, made suggestions, gave us a reality check when needed, and negotiated on our behalf. Their team approach brought in a staging expert and photographer, and our home sold within a day. In what can be a daunting experience, we treasured their knowledge and expertise, and had fun along the way.

Linda and her husband, Kevin, were absolutely wonderful. Other realtors had difficulty working with our schedules and would get frustrated with us due to our lack of knowledge about the state or area. Not once did I ever feel as if I was a burden to Linda or Kevin because they were available whenever we needed them, they were patient with us as we looked at houses, and offered the best advice on making offers for houses. Professionally, the two of them worked hard on our behalf to make sure the inspection, financing, and minute details were all taken care of. Personally, the two of them are knowledgeable about the area and market, do everything they can to make you feel comfortable, and make you feel like a good friend. My wife and I can’t say enough good things about these guys. They are the best. I'm hoping I never have to move again, but if I have to buy or sell anything in this area ever again, I know who I would want to handle it and I'd recommend to everyone else to use their services. You won’t regret it.
Linda & Kevin were upfront & trustworthy. They always kept me updated & answered any questions I had. They sold my house quickly.

5 stars are too few! I have loved working with Linda!! Moving can be stressful, so having the right advocate in your corner is key. I was extremely fortunate to have Linda’s assistance not once, but twice in the last 6 years. She is a knowledgable, compassionate, and a wonderful communicator. Any question I had, she had or found the answer as quickly as possible. I trusted her expertise and found homes that were exactly what I was looking for. Time and again, Linda has gone above and beyond for me, proving that I am not just a client or dollar signs, but someone that is seen, heard, and valued as a person. I’d highly recommend Linda to my family, friends, and anyone who is looking for a dedicated professional with heart.

We had a wonderful experience working with Linda and Kevin in the purchase of our home in Minneapolis. We were newer to the area and to purchasing an older home. They were very knowledgable, incredibly responsive, and took care of everything – even issues we could have been expected to resolve ourselves! I would highly recommend them to anyone looking to buy in the area.

Kevin and Linda were fantastic to work with. The Sharkey team was thoughtful in their approach and helped us price our home just right, stage it to sell, and handled all of the logistics flawlessly.

Linda helped me sell my first home and made the seemingly complicated process of prepping and selling the house extremely easy. I could rely on her advice on everything from pricing the home competitively to explaining and negotiating the offers on the table. Linda arranged a stager to help us make our home ready for showings, and even assisted us on closing day when we couldn't be present. She's extremely responsive and easy to communicate with, even when I was bombarding her with questions :) On top of it all, Linda is kind, compassionate and understanding about the emotional process of selling a home. I would partner with Linda over and over again!

Linda and her husband Kevin are awesome real estate agents. They were with me for every step of selling my home and finding a new one. This process can be very nerve-wracking, frustrating, joyful and exhausting all at the same time, but Kevin and Linda were there to eliminate all of my worries. Thanks.

Kevin and his team did a great job in helping me sell the family home that had been in our family for 60 years. A little tricky with an older home and some repairs that needed to be made, but Kevin did an outstanding job on helping to guide us through the process, smart decision-making, negotiations with the buyer and speedy communications throughout. We got our asking price too! Loved working with Kevin and when I have another house to sell - he'll be my guy! Thanks Kevin!
We recently had the privilege of working with Linda and Kevin to sell our home. After raising our family in a home that we loved and in a community that we loved, we knew it would be an emotional journey for us to relocate. Both Linda and Kevin were amazing to work with, and they helped us to create more even positive memories as we started a new chapter in our lives. They were professional, knowledgeable, hard-working, efficient, and friendly. I also appreciated their excellent communication with us throughout the process. It was a joy to work with them!

This is the second time we have used Linda in our real estate transaction. From start to finish, we received guidance, reassurance and friendly professionalism. Linda has an the wonderful ability to answer questions that we have before we even know that we have them. She was helpful every step of the way with attention to details like providing staging services and professional photography of the property, to reminding us about important details like scheduling TISH, and setting up mobile showing reminders. As a first time home seller, we couldn't be more satisfied with the service she provided. We plan to use Linda again when the opportunity arises.

We could NOT have sold our home without Kevin and Linda! They walked us through every step, as we were first time home sellers! Their knowledge, experience, professionalism, kindness and empathy were truly amazing! We will be forever grateful for them working as a team on our behalf! I would highly recommend them to anyone that is selling or buying a home!

Linda and Kevin are a great team to work with. If one of them wasn't available, the other was there to help. Our emails and texts were responded to with lightning speed! They kept us on track with every detail, and were often one step ahead to ensure nothing fell through the cracks. We really appreciated their knowledge, flexibility and professionalism.
Wow, what can we say but 'thank goodness we had Linda!' From our very first meeting, Linda (and partner-in-crime, Kevin) helped us feel comfortable and confident in the process; a feat in itself as we were first-time home buyers in 'a super hot market.' Their expertise was on display throughout the process, from the attention to detail shown in walking through potential homes to the management of multiple parties involved on signing day. This professionalism paired with the incredibly friendly and outgoing (and hilarious) personalities that came with it made this a GREAT experience. Any home buyer (or seller) should be so lucky to get to work with these two!

Kevin and Linda Sharkey did an excellent job for me with selling my condo. The first agent I had and I did not work well together so when I called Kevin, he was more than happy to help. Kevin and Linda helped me stage my place and did beautiful pictures and flyers that were professionally done. I think that is what helped sell my condo. Both are very easy to work with, listen to your point of view, and handle all the necessary details in a timely manner. Would definitely work with them again!

My husband and I were not looking to move but found a house we loved, which is how we met Linda and Kevin, and we could not be happier with the service they both provided. Linda and Kevin are easy-going, down to earth, professional, and very trustworthy. The minute we met them, we felt at ease and knew we were in good hands. Since we were not truly 'in the market' to buy/sell a home, we were a bit behind from the beginning but they made the process so easy and seamless. We truly cannot explain how thankful we are for all their help through our home buying/selling process and would recommend them in a heartbeat!!

NEW HOPE
Over the course of the past couple of months, Linda Sharkey was a very valuable source of information to my husband and I in our search for a new house. We felt very comfortable approaching her about any questions or concerns that we had from one showing to another. We greatly appreciated the fact that she was very straightforward with us with concerns that she had and made sure to point out things if we missed them. Linda was very prompt and we never had to worry about any delays in getting responses to questions we had or showings being scheduled.Her negotiating skills were amazing and the results she obtained were always in our best interest. Linda made what at times could be a stressful situation into an overall very enjoyable and positive experience and was a pleasure to work with. We would have no doubts in recommending Linda to anything else who is looking to purchase a new home. We certainly have no regrets in selecting her to work with and appreciate everything that she did for us!

We feel so lucky to have worked with Kevin and Linda to buy our first home. Being first-timers in the real estate field, we were looking for Realtors who would offer an immense amount of guidance from start to finish. The Sharkeys made us feel like family. They calmed our nerves, made us laugh, helped us to make smart decisions, and gave us their honest opinions during each showing. When we finally found "the one," they knew it as much as we did. They celebrated the accepted offer right along with us and they kept us informed during the closing process. Kevin and Linda earned our complete trust and we are so thankful for the time we spent with them!

The Sharkey Team is a triple threat! They are great at what they do, our best interests were always their top priority, and they treated us like family. It was clear to see we were in good hands throughout the entire home buying process.
Kevin and Linda went above and beyond in helping our family. They have the perfect combination of professional knowledge and people skills that put us at ease as we navigated through the process of finding and purchasing a home. Kevin was always available when we needed to be in contact and was a top-notch negotiator who always had our best interests in mind.
Buyer and/or selling a home is one of the most important (and stressful) transactions that we'll ever make. I would highly recommend Kevin and Linda Sharkey to anyone who is looking to have a positive experience with a professional Realtor who truly cares about helping you find/sell/buy your home.

I am a childhood friend of Kevin, and there was no question in my mind that he and Linda should represent my brother and myself in selling my childhoodhood home and nest egg. I have the utmost respect for their knowledge, professionalism and integrity in business, and trust their judgement and feedback throughout the process. Kevin and Linda made sure that there was "no stone left unturned" in selling my childhood home, and every possible detail had been considered, so there were no hidden surprises at closing. That is why I would strongly recommend Kevin and Linda to provide the knowledge, guidance and expertise in handling all real estate needs.

Kevin and Linda Sharkey were everything I needed in a Realtor and more because they understood things that I didn't know to ask or knew were important. I felt from our first contact that Kevin understood the market, listened well to know our needs, and could create a plan that would work. I fully recommend Kevin and Linda without hesitation.
Homes in our price range were not selling at the time we put ours on the market; there were two homes in our neighborhood that had been on the market a long time. Kevin and Linda sold our home in about three months, which was very quickly at the time. Kevin knows the market and knows how to showcase your home and help you pick the right price. After working with so many different Realtors over the years, I can honestly say Kevin is hands-down the best. On other homes we have sold, we always started out liking the Realtors we had selected, but by closing time, I was unhappy and never wanted to see them again. With Kevin and Linda, we liked them in the beginning and we were so happy and pleased when we reached the closing. I would hire them again without question or worry.
