Lina Kriva Homes International

When I began to consider a move into Boston, Lina Kriva was my resourceful guide and ally as I explored Boston's neighborhoods. She listened carefully, came to know my preferences and was patient over many months of "looking". I found my home when Lina called me while she was at an open house and suggested I come in immediately to see the place she was visiting. I did and it was just perfect! I made an offer that day. When negotiations got tough she was level headed and confident. When I thought I had some undetected problems after the closing, she literally came running to see it for herself. She is a terrific realtor and thoughtful advocate. I highly recommend Lina.

Lina was all we had hoped to find in a real estate agent and more. Frankly, she was the best agent we have ever worked with. There was no task too large or too small for Lina to handle, and handle deftly. She helped us understand the nuances of the Boston neighborhoods. She helped us refine what we were looking for, sift through available properties, and visit appropriate ones. After looking in Beacon Hill and Back Bay, we found the perfect place for us in the South End. Lina worked tirelessly with us on the negotiations, arranging for a building inspector, working with sellers representative to resolve questions / issues. In a word, Lina was fabulous. She was so good to work with. She knew the right questions to ask us and really listened to what we had to say. We felt genuinely cared about; Lina wanted us to find the right home, not just a home. She never tried to push us in directions we were not comfortable going. Lastly, and very enjoyably, Lina has the most wonderful sense of humor.

When we needed to sell our South End home. There was no hesitation on our part we immediately contacted Lina and asked if she would handle the listing. Lina was excellent representing us, and our interests, as sellers. She was front and center in working to find suitable buyers, negotiate the selling price, and resolve the back-and-forth items in the closing process. Lina was always available to us, always asking if there was anything else we needed help with... identifying someone to make minor repairs, locating a closing attorney and obtaining legal advice as needed. On both the buy and sell transactions, my husband and I felt as though Lina was with us every step of the way. We felt as though we could trust her completely and she consistently demonstrated that our trust in her was very, very well placed. Lina is an extraordinary real estate professional; she is an extraordinary person. We recommend her without reservation or condition. Anyone looking to buy or sell property in Boston would be very fortunate to work with Lina Kriva."
