J. Philip Real Estate Welcomes Linda Polay

By
Managing Real Estate Broker with Howard Hanna Rand Realty License # 49FA1074963

Linda PolayGrowth and the addition of a new team member is always a happy event for us, and I am pleased to introduce Linda Polay as the newest licensee on the J. Philip team. Linda has quite a stellar background, and I look forward to supporting her in serving her lucky clients. 

Linda comes to us with 6 years of real estate sales under her belt, most recently with Coldwell Banker, and almost 20 years of retail management and sales in the Garment District of New York City- no easy place to cut one's teeth. She was also a buyer for Sterns, which is no job for the meek. She has sold multiple millions of residential real estate since getting her license, and a review of her transactions show some tremendous advocacy- one recent transaction where she represented a buyer closed at 9% below asking price, quite a steep discount, and one of her listings sold for $65,000 over asking- and the list price was below $200,000! When you get your sellers far more than asking and your buyers far less than asking you are good

The thing that sticks out for me early on in getting to know Linda was the thought and consideration she put into choosing her next company. We first interviewed over a month ago, and her line of questioning was not fluffy- it wasn't about her, it was about how we could support her in serving her clients. Successful agents come from there. Linda's clients will get excellent service and results because she not only truly cares, she is savvy and capable. 

A Jersey girl who is now a Westchester resident for 15 years, she resides in Cortlandt Manor with her husband and two sons. Linda serves all of Westchester and Putnam for residential buyers and sellers,and even has some experience with land. You can reach her at (914) 384-5596 or lindapolay@jphilip.com. Reach out to Linda and good things will happen.
