Linnette Edwards

Real estate has been my passion since I began my career in the East Bay in 2001. With deep expertise in the Bay Area market, I excel in negotiation and lead a top-notch team to deliver exceptional results for my clients.

Negotiation is my superpower. I can save clients thousands—sometimes even $100k—through strategic negotiation. As Tim Ko noted, “Linnette’s negotiation skills are unmatched. She helped us secure our home below asking price and handled complications seamlessly.”

I offer a comprehensive, turnkey service. My dedicated team of experts transforms homes to attract the best offers, while ensuring maximum return on investment. Christy White shared: “Linnette and her team were amazing at preparing my home for sale. She took care of everything, from organizing to renovations, and transformed the place.”

With a broad range of expertise across working with single-family homes, multi-units, investment properties, home flipping, relocations, and first-time home buyers, I cover both Alameda and Contra Costa Counties. My marketing skills ensure maximum visibility for every home. Ray Johnson shared: "Her business acumen for marketing, timing of sales, and negotiation are unparalleled. She transformed our home, creating strong demand and delivering multiple offers above the listing price."

As the owner of the esteemed brokerage Abio Properties, voted Best Brokerage by Oakland Magazine, and a recipient of the 'People Love Us' award on Yelp and Nextdoor, I’m proud to be a leader in the industry. I’ve been frequently quoted in SF Business Times, The Chronicle, Wall Street Journal, Inman News, and more. I’ve also been a public speaker and TV personality, appearing on Inman Connect, House Hunters, KRON 5, NBC, and numerous Top Producer Panels.

I’m deeply committed to creating an inclusive and welcoming environment for all. As an LGBTQ+ friendly realtor, I proudly support individuals and families from all backgrounds and identities.

When I’m not working, I enjoy life's adventures with my partner Tammy, our daughter Colette, and our four-legged friends, Bogey and Quinnie. A couple of random notable moments—I was blessed by Mother Teresa and singled out by Jenny McCarthy. My happy place is in the garden picking fresh veggies and cooking for friends, family, and clients around our dining table.

For me, real estate (and life!) is about building relationships—not just closing deals.
