I was taught early that to be successful in any people-oriented business you have to provide outstanding customer service. Licensed as a Realtor in 2006, I enjoy helping people achieve their real estate goals. My passion is to provide the best information possible and to help navigate the often complicated process of buying and selling real estate. Good, honest, ethical professionalism as well as plain hard work to continually learn and stay current with our industry is how I accomplish that. My goal is to always keep your best interests at the forefront and to give you the ability to make informed decisions. There is no pressure from me. I believe in building long term relationships and am counting on referrals. Knowledgeable, trustworthy and respected... those are the words my clients use when referring me to friends and family. I will go above and beyond in all aspects of customer service. On a more personal note, I am originally from Springfield, Virginia. I moved to Vail, Colorado in 1987 where my two daughters were born. Our family moved to Whitefish in 1996 where I immediately felt at "home" in this community which so richly shares of its time and resources to continually improve our city and care for others. I love this area and everything that goes with it. Whitefish offers amazing outdoor opportunities and wonderful community. Both my daughters were raised here and went through the Whitefish school system which fully prepared them to succeed in college. We downhill ski (tried snowboarding), x-country ski, snowshoe, bike and hike - not to mention all the days spent on Whitefish Lake - sunning, swimming and boating. Yes, we are blessed. Come to the Flathead Valley and you will be too!

I had the pleasure of working with Linda when buying my first home and I can tell you it would NOT have happened without her. I was new to the buying process and her patience and understanding made what could have been a daunting and overwhelming experience, easy and rewarding.

I remember Linda telling me that she is a realtor because she just enjoys helping people. I see how this is so true for her and we have definitely appreciated her help 100%. Without hesitation, I have and will continue to pass on Linda’s name to others who are looking for a home in our area.

I truly have never had a Real Estate agent who worked as hard while keeping my interests a priority. From the home search to closing, Linda kept me updated the whole way. From new listings to final closing, Linda stayed engaged and made the whole process flow smoothly.

Linda was extremely helpful, insightful, patient and knowledgable. We were relatively new to Whitefish and Linda went above and beyond to provide background information and to help us understand the subtleties of each area where we looked at homes. She gave us all the time we needed and helped us through a challenging negotiation. IN the end, we were very happy with how things played out. I highly recommend Linda Chauner!

I had the pleasure of working with Linda when buying my first home and I can tell you it would NOT have happened without her. I was new to the buying process and her patience and understanding made what could have been a daunting and overwhelming experience, easy and rewarding. I had many questions, all of which she answered regardless of the time of day, including weekends. She talked me through the buying process and genuinely looked out for my best interests. When some unexpected speed bumps popped up she handled them easily and with tremendous efficiency. I trust her implicitly. This home is my biggest investment and I could not have been happier with Linda or with the property. I have been in my home for about three weeks now and looking back on the experience it was overwhelmingly positive... thanks to Linda Chauner.

I was flying into the area for a long weekend specifically to house hunt. Leading up to the trip the person we were working with was not providing the service we felt like we needed. So with only a few days before my arrival I called Linda out of the blue to see if she was available. From that first returned call to after closing she was incredible. She handled herself with an impeccable degree of professionalism and integrity. Being new to the area, her knowledge about the subtleties of the market and the differences in neighborhoods was invaluable. Our closing became complicated towards the end, as they almost always seem to. She was in our corner the entire time not only with contract details but on a personal level as well. I remember Linda telling me that she is a realtor because she just enjoys helping people. I see how this is so true for her and well we have definitely appreciated her help 100%. With out hesitation, I have and will continue to pass on Linda's name to others who are looking for a home in our area.

Linda, I wanted you to know how much I appreciate all the work that you've put into this effort. You always have been very responsive, forthright with information, and have worked hard as our advocate. Your referrals of other professionals also have been excellent. I really don't think that we could have found a better representative. Thanks again. Rory.

Linda is exceptionally conscientious. She was always willing to show me anything I thought might meet my needs, as well as properties I wanted to look at just to see where the market was. She said buying a home is a process that includes looking at a lot of property and her job is to help me through that process. I finally bought something on a short sale, and Linda was very knowledgable and professional in that somewhat complicated deal. I highly recommend Linda.

We used Linda to buy a lake house at Foys Lake. We originally contacted her looking at a lot she had for sale at Ashley Lake but that sold and she helped us find something that suited us even better. We are canadian and had never purchased real estate in the USA before so she was very helpful and knowledgable helping us understand what we needed to do. <br/><br/>Linda is an excellent communicator- she responds very quickly to texts and emails and is always on top of paperwork and deadlines. She gave us great advice negotiating in the face of potential multiple offers and helped us secure the property we wanted. <br/><br/>She is the best realtor we have ever worked with and we would highly recommend her to anyone!

Linda assisted me in listing and negotiating the sale of my folks's property in Whitefish. She was very informative and sensitive to the emotions involved in selling a house in which I'd spent all my childhood years. Linda researched the market and supplied me with comps for the area and was very instrumental in obtaining a sale price that I was happy with. She is extremely professional and I would recommend her in any real estate sale you have.

Linda is knowledgeable and always up to date on changes to the Real Estate Market. I came here from California in November 2012 to look for houses for retirement. She had already taken my criteria and had been sending me listings of houses on the market. She drove us around to look at my list of houses .. She never once pushed us toward something I did not think fit for me. She told me about each town those houses were in and drove me around bit to get the feel of the towns.<br/><br/>Within 3 days I had found what I wanted and she submitted my bid that day. The other real estate agent was out of town and she got in contact and made it all possible to get it done before I had to leave back to California. She also recommended a Mortgage company in town and set up an appointment so that I could have all that ready before hand, in case I needed additional financing and had a letter of credit from the Bank.<br/><br/>She still keeps in touch with us, and I consider her a friend now.

Linda was an excellent realtor for us. We did not know her before and had found her on the Remax web site as the spotlight Realtor for that day. As soon as I contacted her she was very attentive and was able to provide us with a number of listings. The first house she showed us we loved but she knew that we needed to see others to make our decision. We ended up with the first house and she helped make it a very smooth transition. When it came to inspecting the house after the movers left and cleaned, she found things we didn't that needed extra attention and had it taken care of very promptly. We love our home and are so happy that it was Linda Chauner who was our realtor. Thank you Linda, again, for all you did for us!

Linda helped us on the sale of 2 properties. The last, in 2013, was a nice lot that we owned on Ashley Lake. Linda is smart, a good communicator and relates well to clients and other agents. She does her research so that she understands what is reasonable pricing and she knows what properties are in competition with yours. Linda is a nice person and a joy to work with. We have worked with 3 other agents in the Flathead Valley and Linda is the one that got us results! Pam and I highly recommend her.

Linda is one of few agents that I would recommend. I am a licensed real estate agent and one of her clients (she has my property listed). Being in the industry I can be extra critical when it comes to rating an agent. I would have no hesitation whatsoever recommending Linda to any of my friends looking to buy or sell real estate. She is knowledgable, honest, hard working, she communicates often so you're not left wondering what's going on and she has great negotiation skills. Easily a 5-star agent.
