Lynda has worked very hard to earn her excellent reputation with both clients and colleagues. Here is what some of them have to say:

This is a reference letter for Lynda and I am honored to be writing it.  In the fall of 2002 I moved from Colorado to Los Angeles and ended up buying a home in the West High neighborhood of Torrance. It was a very good decision as I truly enjoyed my home and the area. In 2006 I got engaged and due to commute issues and the simple desire to start our married life off fresh, we bought a new house in Playa del Rey. We discovered the house we purchased in something of a fluke (well before what we had intended) and I needed to sell my West High home in a hurry.

 As I quickly got the property in shape to show, I did some due diligence for a realtor.  One cannot live in the West High neighborhood and not know the name Lynda McDonough. Between word of mouth (my next door neighbors had high praise after they used her to sell their home), her flyers, and other marketing efforts, she is a presence. I called her to see what she thought about selling my home. She came by later that day with a thorough presentation. 

 Unlike the other realtors I consulted, Lynda actually knew my house. She also had a much greater feel for the market in the area, and she had a much more comprehensive and thought-out plan for selling a house. Her efforts went far beyond a sign in the yard and a listing on the MLS. Her knowledge and professionalism made her the clear choice and her enthusiasm and positive attitude made the decision to use her as my agent that much easier.  Knowing my eagerness to sell, she had it on the market and fully advertised in less than a week. 

Unfortunately the time in which I decided to sell happened to be less than ideal. Housing prices had just peaked and fear of a “bubble burst” had the market in a holding pattern. During this time -- when I was already committed to another house, prices were dropping, and buyers were scarce -- it became more and more evident that I had chosen the right agent. Lynda did an outstanding job of tracking the market, using inventive means to advertise my house, and keeping the lines of communication open.

 She had the perfect blend of realism and optimism. She knew she could sell my house and had a clear determination to do so. But the uncertain market required extra effort and diligence. Those were things that Lynda was more than willing to put in and she did so instinctively. 

While the market wavered, my confidence in Lynda never did. And sure enough she was able to sell my house during these trying times. She found a great buyer and a fair deal. 

 During my time of working with Lynda I grew to truly appreciate her as a professional and genuinely like her as a person. She took time out of her life several times to help me with personal matters and even arrange some repairs and other services after I had moved out and was out town. Lynda McDonough is great agent and an even better person and I cannot recommend her highly enough to anyone wanting a real estate agent in the West High neighborhood.  G. Bradley 11/15/06

Lynda McDonough of Century 21 Amber Realty handled a very difficult out-of-state sale for me during the summer and fall of 2006. Her marketing knowledge and marketing plan resulted in a very quick sale during a down market time. She exhibited extreme professionalism and knowledge of the market at all times. She kept me informed of the ongoing status of the sale, arranged for various vendors that helped with everything from an eviction attorney, to a locksmith, to a hauling/landscaping/cleaning crew. She even appeared in court with me willing to testify if it was needed. She got the price I was asking in a matter of days once the house was on the market. I cannot recommend Lynda highly enough.

You are by far the most competent woman I have met in years! You also have an outstanding character. I am very happy with the way all turned out with the sale of my house. Im glad the buyers are happy also. God Bless!

I feel that you did so much more because of the earthquake and re-inspection-and after I left the area! It was quite an achievement to get it all cleared up in a week. Much appreciation.
B.S.
Your service was much better than our expectations. You had very helpful advise in the repairs and all your open houses were very helpful to the sale, too. You kept your promises, stayed in touch, and worked hard for us. Thank you.
