Fantastic experience: Late 2024, my mother in law and family made the decision to sell her home of 67 years. The home (actually built in 1920) was the first and only home the family ever lived in, in Delano. Here are a few reasons why we chose The Vanderlinde Group to help sell the house. Jeff was raised in Delano and grew up construction and real estate markets. He quickly became the real estate expert in this region. The Vanderlinde Group is well established in the Delano Community. His team assisted our daughter in selling her home in New Hope in 2019 as her family built a new home in Delano. His industry knowledge, especially of the Delano Market, includes all types and ages of homes, is such a great asset. Jeff and Cindy brought to the table what we needed to sell this house. They pride themselves in professionalism, excellent communication, quality, and value. Both gave 100% support and confidence through the entire process. It was truly a pleasure to work with Jeff and his team. If you are looking to sell your home or buy a home, especially in Delano area, look no further The Vanderlinde Group should be your choice!
