No one could have a better Client than you either! I really appreciate your saying " no time is wasted when looking " because that is important to me. No one of us has enough time each day - we benefit by respecting each other's schedules! Looking forward to having you back in Atlanta to stay.
Have a happy day -

Bought a Single Family home in 2009 for approximately $125K in Atlanta, GA.
Lynn and her thorough work style played a big role in making my first homebuying experience a pleasant one. I came to her with simply a price range and the location of my work and asked her to show me affordable choices around this area. She carefully examined what I needed and counseled me with options outside the box. She found a duplex for me with a lot of parking in the Spring of 2009. I have the option to rent one side for income if I choose to do so. The nicely paved, big parking makes everything convenient. She then helped me with financing strategies and referred an equally attentive attorney. Working with someone who thinks proactively and whom you can trust makes a world of difference. You will be glad to hire her for your real estate needs.

Dear Mr. Dinh,
Your request was clearly stated but finding the right place at the right price in that area was a challenge. Fortunately, we found the perfect home answer for you and your family, even though it was a FSBO PROPERTY! I enjoyed the "chase" and the success at the end. Thanks again for letting me assist. Lynn

Bought a Townhouse home in 2010 for approximately $250K in Garden Hills, Atlanta, GA.
I am pleased to have the opportunity to write a recommendation for my Realtor, Lynn Friedman. I live in another State and wanted a second home, a condo in Atlanta. Lynn carefully questioned me about my requirements and the lifestyle I wanted in this city. She understood that as a retired person, I was interested in a unit I could comfortably share with my adult daughter, should the need arise. Lynn researched and culled through available properties. She showed several options to my daughter and then I came to Atlanta to see the results. My daughter and I agreed, Lynn had found exactly the right unit in a fantastic location.
As soon as I gave my OK, Lynn sat with us to plan the "offer strategy". She not only demonstrated excellent negotiating skills, once our contract was accepted, she had an inspector lined up, a wonderful mortgage referral and reasonably priced closing attorneys to use. I am very please with the purchase and my daughter is confortabe and delighted living in our shared ownership condominium.
Lynn is very organized and extremely knowledgeable. She has a wealth of resourses for referral to complete the purchasing process. I am sure you will be well served if Lynn is your Agent because she listens, understands/respects her client's wishes and works well with people of all ages.

Dear Mrs. M -
Working with you was a pleasure for me. Thanks again! I love the unit you and your daughter PURCHASED TOGETHER. I especially enjoy looking out the windows to the mid-city forest every time I visit. See you when you are back in town - Lynn

Helped me rent a Condo home in Cross Creek, Atlanta, GA.
Moving to Atlanta after graduating from college was a very daunting task. Thankfully, we were able to meet Lynn and she showed us around several units in the area. The unit we picked was perfect for us, and was actually one of Lynn's renovations, it is cozy, inviting, and makes us feel right at home. We have certainly enjoyed our time here and wouldn't have been happier anywhere else. Lynn has been there as a landlord and a friend when we needed her, something we have never experienced with previous landlords. We would certainly recommend using Lynn if you are given the opportunity (as a realtor and a renovator).

Sold a Single Family home in 2012 for approximately $75K in Doraville, GA.
I’m pleased to say we plan Closing in two weeks! I was searching for a real estate agent online and found Lynn on Zillow. As the Executor for my mom’s estate, I needed someone to help me plan and prepare her home for sale. I didn’t know what we should fix up and what we should leave for the new owners to fix up. I didn’t know what documents I would need to sell an estate property.
In addition, my mom had a vacant lot in a sub-division in Florida. Lynn, as a Consultant, researched for us and found the neighbors’ contact information. One of them is buying the lot. She even found the right lawyer’s office to do a quick Probate filing there in Florida for us so we could close on the land sale.
Another benefit I enjoyed was Lynn’s work style. She made things move along. She didn’t wait for people to come on the Open House days – she actually called and invited possible buyers. That certainly worked because we have a sales contract in progress with one of those people!
I discovered an angel in Lynn. Her experience, patience and trustworthiness set my mind & heart at ease. Her openness & motherly guidance has helped me to set realistic goals for the sale of the property. I’m deeply appreciative of her guidance & friendship in helping me to handle this extremely hard - both emotionally & mentally - task. I would HIGHLY recommend Lynn to anyone who is need of a true professional.
Sincerely, Lee F., Executor

Dear Lee,
Let me start by thanking you for being an amazing Client. You did all the " lfix-ups" I suggested. That was a wonderful experience! And now we have CLOSED THE SALE of your mother's home for her estate. And what an adventure we had! Everything went well and everyone is quite happy - aren't we all lucky! The Buyers move in this week ...
I am glad that my ACRE(R) designation and my working as a Consultant came in handy. I'm glad that I was able to help you make the right connections for selling off the FLORIDA lots as well. Learning about how to apply for Florida PROBATE was an adventure to be sure!
Have a happy day and thanks for the chance to assist your family!

Bought a Single Family home in 2010 for approximately $50K in Forest Park, GA.
I recommend Lynn as an agent because she listened to me about what I wanted in a home. We only looked in the neighborhood where I wanted to live. We looked several times until we found the right house for me. Then she helped me find financing.
Another thing is that Lynn recommended I do a survey before purchase. Turned out to be a good idea since the next-door neighbor had fenced in a large area 9 feet into my property. After I moved in, Lynn came by to help me stake out the actual property line so the situation was easy for the neighbor to see. Then she assisted me with contacting the neighbor and we resolved everything very pleasantly.
If you want an agent that listens to her clients, knows how to negotiate and has many contacts in all parts of the housing industry, call Lynn.

Dear Karlos,
Thanks for your kind words! I am always so proud when I help clients solve boundary issues immediately after the purchase! Better to have PROPERTY LINE CORRECTIONS right away. Then when you decide to sell later on - smooth sailing!
See you soon - Lynn

Bought a Single Family home in 2011 in Dunwoody, GA.
Lynn, You are on of the most detailed and highly professional real estate agent and well organized. Your detailed approach helped us through the process so our transaction went smoothly. You explained all the steps and answered all our questions on a timely basis. Your deep understanding and knowledge of the market and the business makes you very successful. Buying a house is not something that we do that often so it is easy to forget the process and steps. With your help, we were able to do it and we were very satisfied. Best of all you estabish a friendship with your clients and follow up with them after the deal is closed in case they need help or advice. We will recommend you to all our friends and people that we know in the future and thanks for your hard work and dedication.

Dear Wally and Family -
Your praise feels so good - I must admit. Buying a FORECLOSURE can be complicated unless one focuses on details. I am so happy that everything worked out for you. And now there you are - settled in your beautiful new home!
Talk to you soon - Lynn

Found a tenant for a Single Family home in Woodfield, Atlanta, GA.
Lynn's real estate experience was a valuable benefit to me. She saw my former home was unoccupied for a long period of time around ten years ago and contacted me about hiring her to look for a tenant. She prepared the right information and soon provided good tenants. We have worked together all these years.
I still work at my company four days a week. Last fall, with my 93rd birthday coming up in January 2011, I decided to turn the house over to my daughter to handle.
I recommend Lynn's careful management to anyone who has a home to lease. Whenever I called for something I needed, she responded quickly. Whatever repairs I needed on the house, Lynn sent workers who did a professional job. Lynn is good at her job.

Dear Mr. Roberts,
I appreciate your positive review so much. Your home in Woodfield, a small subdivision in the BUCKHEAD area of Atlanta, has older homes and finding the right tenants to LEASE your home was a priority for me! The best part for me is that our friendship (and monthly lunches) continue even though your daughter now manages your former home.
We'll be getting together soon, I am sure. Lynn

Bought a Single Family home in 2011 in Johns Creek, GA.
I recommend Lynn Friedman as real estate agent because she work very hard for clients. My wife and I wanted move to certain school district for our daughter education. Lynn never waste our time and show us homes in other school district. She organize for our search so all information ready before we meet. She always bring a book or toy for sit and play with our daughter while we examine houses.
We go out six or eight times Sunday mornings and seeing 3-6 houses each time. Sometimes we want to look at houses that not match what we ask at first. No matter she always patient with us. She answer my wife questions by telephone and email even if my wife call more times every day. When she look for houses she remember things my wife want to have like big rooms for entertain guests and kitchen with sunshine and many windows around the home and a basement that have outside door and windows.
We find short sale property in October 2010 and close by January 2011. Lynn understand the rules about short sales. Many times she check-up for sure attention to all details for new house buying. Also she encourage us be patient over and over many times. The short sale process take so long. Lynn remind us oh what good deal we get on house. And she correct about that - appraisal comes 114% of price we pay for dream house. I am so happy there. I living in quiet safe place and so close to school we want for daughter.
I recommend you get Lynn Friedman at ODAT Realty for you agent for buy a new house. She keep focus on exactly our needs. She have many contacts all over Atlanta in real estate and house business. Every step of buying process, Lynn guide us in right direction. You trust her and she do what she saying she do for you. She keep our best interest close to her heart.

Dear Dmitriy,
Your comments focused on the aspects of my work of which I am most proud. I love finding just the right property for clients. And, yes, the SHORT SALE process requires so much attention to detail! Well, we just kept our patience and now you are at home! It was my pleasure to play with your daughter while you and your wife investigated every nook and cranny of each home. Not easy to explore a home unless the children are occupied!
Thanks for your positive remarks - Lynn
Now, again, I am reaching out - this time to move back to Atlanta. Lynn researched several communities for me to see when I came to town in the Spring. We narrowed the search to two communities, "semi-finalists", for November when I will return to make a final decision.
Lynn is thorough and detail conscious. She is a real estate professional who does a great deal of research ahead of the appointment so that no time is wasted when looking with a client. I am certain you will enjoy having her work with you to find your new home or condo. I am happy to recommend her services.
