Located in the beautiful town of Orinda, across from the historic Orinda Theater, Linda and her dedicated staff passionately serve their clients in Alameda and Contra Costa Counties. Since 1990, they focused on helping people translate dreams and capture opportunities in Real Estate.

Along the way, Linda received many awards. However, her biggest tribute is the growing number of clients and fellow agents who refer their friends, family, and valued business contacts each year.

A native of the San Francisco Bay Area and trained in interior architecture, Linda practiced commercial design and project management after college. It was in San Francisco where she honed her business and design skills. Linda designed, wrote, negotiated, and managed multi-million dollar contracts. Her clients included two world class Hotel chains, one of the country's largest financial institutions, and a variety of other distinguished firms.

After leaving the design world, Linda returned to management of another kind. This time, she took over the management of the flagship branch of a nationally recognized furniture dealership. Here, she expanded her skills and assumed the responsibility for sales and marketing.

Why choose Linda Van Drent to represent you?

She demonstrates sound business practices, attention to detail, and communication skills essential in handling real estate transactions.

After family & health, real estate holdings are often her clients' biggest asset. Considerations, such as risk management, detailed documentation, contract review, effective negotiation skills, candid market and property assessment are essential but all too often underdeveloped skills. Linda has these skills. This is why people choose her to be their trusted partner and advocate in their Real Estate decisions.
