"Alinda is absolutely the best, most sincere, and cunning realtor I’ve met. She listens to what you’re looking for and then finds it. When your dream home is found, she closes that deal. In the DMV market that we have today where people are paying well over asking, she is a shark at negotiations. I think highly of her skills and it’s worth noting she’s a great person as well. I would suggest her and the team at Carmen Fontecilla to anyone looking for a realtor with true follow through. "
