Lingle's record of achieving
results for our customers.
- Lingle Real Estate
sold nearly half of
all area homes sold

listings were sold
by Lingle's own sales
professionals. (Typically
real estate professionals
sell only about 35%
of their firm's listings.)

proven marketing tools
along with continuous
agent training to
consistently place
more SOLD signs in
more yards than any
other real estate
agency in our market.
Lingle
Professionals
- Full time, career
real estate professionals.
- New agents complete
a 12-part training
program before entering
the field
.
- Weekly classroom
and in-the-field training
keep agents prepared
for changing market
conditions, financing

trends and environmental
issues.
Every professional

to pursue advanced academic
and professional designations.

in the area has as high
of a percentage of sales
associates with advanced
education designations.
