When I came home to Hampton Roads after years in New York, I looked at the successful Real Estate firms in the area. I interviewed with several and just wasn’t able to find a place that I felt was a good fit. I looked at what was important to me, considered how I wanted to work and how I wanted to be recognized in the Real Estate field and came up with three things that seem to be the driving difference between Real Estate in Hampton Roads and what I wanted to do. So with those thoughts in mind, I decided to open the Lina Mercer Real Estate Group in 2011.
