About Our Team
32 year Monterey Peninsula real estate veteran Lynda Nichols has crafted a team of local real estate professionals designed to compliment each other's strengths and more importantly offer their clients unparalleled professional real estate services with a small town personal touch. The combination of an experienced long standing real estate professional, a internet savvy 14 year corporate sales and marketing manager and a full time client care manager brings more to the table when it comes time to prepare your home for sale and expose it to thousands of potential buyers. After all, there are only two reasons your house doesn't sell, either the price is too high or it didn't receive enough exposure to find the right buyer.
Whether looking for your primary residence or a weekend hideaway from the hustle and bustle of the bay area, Lynda's team is well prepared to find you the perfect home that meets both your emotional and physical needs as well as your financial requirements.
Please call, email or stop by our office at 501 Lighthouse Avenue in Pacific Grove and ask for Lynda, Mark or Grace to experience all we have to offer to you during the process of buying or selling your next home.
Areas of Expertise
There are two areas we like to think we excel in that allow us to better serve our clients. We are exceptional listeners and we are extremely good at marketing your home.
Lynda has 33 years of local real estate experience! Over the years she has continually performed in the top 5% of all realtors in the business and has earned the long term loyalty of her clients. You do not become a long term success in this business without being able to listen to your clients needs, whether they are buyers or sellers, and deliver on their wants and needs.
Mark honed his listening skills while working in the corporate world for 14 yeas prior to taking up real estate. He worked in the mobile electronics field as a product development team leader, a regional sales manager, national sales manager and a managing director in a public company. He managed over 150 sales people in the field all over the country as well as drove product development teams all over the globe. This experience has given him the tools necessary to negotiate on his clients behalf and deliver their wants and needs time and time again.
From a marketing standpoint, we like to stand out from the crowd with exceptional photography and cutting edge video productions of our listings. We take all of our own photography. This allows us to come back on the right day to capture each home in its best light. It is not uncommon for us to visit a home three or four times just to capture the right lighting to get the shot we want. Compare that to a photographer that is hired to take 9 quality photos and makes an appointment at 12:00 noon. If its foggy that day, guess what...you get gloomy, dark pictures. The weather on the Monterey Peninsula is truly unpredictable. There are dozens of micro climates and catching a property at the right time is as much luck as it is skill. You always have to go back more than once!
We recognize that almost every buyer for one of our listings in the past three years learned about the property they ended up purchasing online before they ever spoke to their real estate agent. We like to give this buyer every bit of information possible in order to get them comfortable enough with our listings to want to make the next step and see it in person. We load as many pictures as neccessary to tell the story of a property and most of the time dedicate an entire custom website to that property, again with a real video production of it.
Testimonials
"Dear Lynda, I wanted to officially thank you for the amazing work you and your team did in selling our house on Mermaid. You overcame multiple obstacles, a couple getting a divorce, a declining market, a deteriorating house and lastly a low-balling prospect. You proved to be nimble, able to change stategies in a split second. Lastly you were able to be an extremely tough negotiator. From day one, I felt comfortable with your abilities and comfortable to step back and give you room to work your magic. I trusted in your knowledge and expertise. My trust proved to be more than well warranted as you far exceeded all of my expectations. Your marketing plan was phenomenal! You were able to find that perfect person for that home. So again, I thank you so very much for all that your team has done. Respectfully, John "Jocko" Magadini"

"Dear Mark, Thank you very much for all of your hard work & attention to our home for sale, it worked! You have a gentle, persuasive nature about you, a benefit to both home buyers & sellers. Thanks too for having a great sense of humor, it really helps to be able to laugh along the way! We wish you & your team the best always. Kind Regards, Lisa & John Burke" Lisa and John Burke Wed Aug 1, 2007
"As an out of area owner, the task of selling a property in Monterey County seemed daunting. The property had many problems of which I was not aware, since I hadn't seen it in several years. Fortunately, I selected Mark Bruno as my real estate agent for the transaction. He marketed the property online and in print, coordinated showings with the (usually) cooperative tenant, screened potential buyers and kept me informed at every stage of the process. I appreciate his diligence and hard work, and have no hestitation in recommending his real estate services to others.
Thanks, Mark!"
