Lynne's answer is always the same: "Okay. I've got you. Let's talk through it."

Twenty-five years in real estate will do that to you. Not just selling houses — appraising them, analyzing them as investments, managing them for out-of-town owners, coordinating the messy, complicated sales that other agents don't quite know how to handle. Lynne has done all of it, long enough that very little surprises her anymore and almost nothing stumps her.

She came to real estate the long way
