About

My Client-First Philosophy

There are many qualities and skills that go into being an excellent real estate professional - integrity, in-depth community and market knowledge, marketing savvy, effective negotiation skills and a high-quality professional network, all of which are hallmarks of how I work.

That said, in my experience as a Palo Alto real estate professional, I've also found that providing the very best service is essentially about putting my clients first. This means keeping myself accessible, being a good listener as well as a good communicator, and responding quickly to your needs.

This "client first" philosophy has always been my approach and it requires me to continually improve my skills and ways of doing business. In addition, I've found that the latest technologies are enabling me to do everything I've always done, only much more quickly and efficiently. They've also helped me to extend the range of services I provide to my clients.

I find great pleasure and satisfaction in working with my clients. The variety, the fresh challenges that accompany each transaction and the opportunity to meet, work with, and befriend new and fascinating people every day make the real estate business extremely exciting and rewarding. So when you decide that you'd like to buy or sell a home in Palo Alto, Mountain View, Menlo Park, Los Altos, Portola Valley, Woodside, Atherton, or other surrounding communities, please contact me.

What Clients Are Saying

As a first-time home buyer, I could not have asked for a more helpful, competent, and gracious real estate agent than Lynne Mercer. Lynne was always prompt or immediate in her responses to my questions.  She made sure that I understood in detail all the intricate issues and their implications.  The advice she offered me always turned out to the right advice.

Lynne’s greatest virtue is that she is a consummate professional.  Her behavior and demeanor were always exemplary, indeed impeccable.  In sum, she far exceeded any expectations I had when it came to real estate agents, and I would recommend her to all other buyers or sellers out there who are looking for an outstanding and personable agent to work with. 

Robert, Satisfied Buyer

You are absolutely the best real estate agent I have ever known. You gave good, sound, realistic and practical advice. We knew we could always trust your judgment. You were extremely professional, responded to developments quickly, and always kept us well informed. You were well organized, methodical, and always friendly, with a smile on your face.   In short, you are totally awesome!

Satisfied Seller, Palo Alto

Lynne helped me through the process of buying my first condo and I could not have had a better experience. She was thorough, communicative and constantly advocating strongly on my behalf at each stage of the process. Lynne is very good at explaining each part of the process and the relevance of each document. She is both detail oriented and efficient. She really goes out of her way to be there for her clients and to make sure everything goes smoothly. She quickly gained my trust and allowed me to relax during what would otherwise have been a stressful experience. It is very rare to find the level of integrity and work ethic demonstrated by Lynne. I can't recommend her highly enough

Jennifer, Satisfied First Time BUyer

I've worked with Lynne on 3 home purchases and 3 sales. I've come to appreciate her good advice, attention to detail, and the way she explains each step of these very complex transactions. I would definitely recommend Lynne if you want to buy or sell a house on the peninsula!  

David, Satisfied Repeat Client

We are absolutely thrilled with Lynne Mercer as our Realtor.  She recently sold our home in Mountain View and we could not have made a better choice.  We had 14 offers on our home and the sale price not only exceeded our expectations, it exceeded our imaginations!  We actually set the all-time record sale price for a home of our size in our neighborhood.

Lynne is the most intelligent, professional, thoughtful, honest, detail-oriented Realtor that we have ever worked with.  We simply did everything she told us to do, and equally important, we listened to her advice about everything to do or not to do, and the results were spectacular.  She wisely advised us against a costly kitchen remodel, and searched for the best prices for the other quality work that we had done, and the house looked gorgeous with minimal cost to us.  She has outstanding marketing skills, and during the busy open house she was really able to appreciate and highlight the many small details that made our home great.

Our recommendation is to choose Lynne Mercer, follow her advice exactly, and may you enjoy the rich rewards as we have.
