Mother-son partners, Lynda Snell and Jeff Snell, have been in the real estate business together since 2001. Top-producing agents for Village Associates in Orinda, their partnership has earned a reputation in the community for successful transactions and relationships with clients and fellow agents.
In her 36 years of being in real estate, Lynda Snell has experienced her fair share of the highs and lows that come with the business. She began her career at the urging of her husband who could see the value she could offer clients. Despite starting out during the challenging era of 18% interest rates , Lynda has been a pioneer in the real estate industry. Her hard work, vision and integrity led to her success, and she eventually became one of the founding partners and a former member of the Board of Directors for Village Associates in Orinda.
Jeff comes from a mixture of construction and high-tech experience and was working on his MBA when his mother offered to mentor him as an agent for Village Associates. Jeff’s tech background gives him the skills needed to maximize their listings’ exposure online, leading to more showings, and ultimately higher offers for their clients.
Working with Village Associates, the number one independent office in Contra Costa County, gives Jeff and Lynda access to unique resources, information, and listings that bring added value to their clientele. They have an extensive network and approach to helping buyers find homes that are not on MLS or coming soon and have sold several homes before market, avoiding the competitive bidding and multiple offers.
Asked what their most proud of, they say it’s the relationships they’ve built with their associates, clients and community over the course of their 41 years in the area. They concentrate primarily on the central Contra Costa market, Lamorinda, Danville, Alamo, Pleasant Hill and Walnut Creek, but also serve the entire county.
Their 41 years living in the area have also given them expert insight into the positive aspects of the different markets they serve, and is a big reason clients come to them. Whether Jeff and Lynda are helping first-time buyers, or former clients looking to downsize or trade-up, their familiarity with the different neighborhoods gives them an edge. “We have the insight and knowledge to best guide our buyers in making smart decisions.”
“Our approach with sellers has always been to guide them through the process,” says Jeff. “It’s a process that includes trust that we will bring them the best offer and help them prepare for their move, and what can be a major life change.”
An excellent professional reputation and good working relationships with other agents are also traits Jeff Snell and Lynda Snell rely on in their business. “I try to make transactions with other agents enjoyable, and seek win-win scenarios, “ says Jeff. Lynda adds, “I want other agents to want to work with us. The relationships we have built with other agents over the years have allowed us to learn about homes prior to them reaching the market, and that has enabled us to give our clients an edge. I look at our relationships with our clients as a major success. I enjoy them because, in many cases, they’ve developed into friendships.”
Relationship building is something Jeff and Lynda excel at beyond business too. Their close ties with friends and family enrich both their activities beyond real estate, and their community. In her free time, Lynda enjoys golfing, biking, reading, and traveling. As a devoted husband, and father of two kids, Jeff spends his free time coaching t-ball, basketball, and soccer.
