Written by Haley Freeman
L
inda Suk is an energetic and powerful presence in
the North Orange County community where she
has been serving families and their housing needs
for two decades. A top-producing agent at CENTURY
21 Award, she has received more honors than she can fit
on her office walls. The reason? She is a woman whose
reputation for professional integrity and genuine care for
others precedes her in every transaction.
Linda has built an extraordinary team of agents whose
values are just like hers, but whose personalities and skills
differ enough to cater to the unique needs of each client.
Her team includes Vladimir Bellemo, who has known
Linda since 1995. They met at CENTURY 21 and began
working as a team in the early 2000s. Vladimir is a skilled
and experienced agent in his own right, who worked in
the banking industry prior to becoming a REALTOR®. He
takes the lead in handling the team’s paperwork, ensuring
that every detail is meticulously addressed.
The team’s experience extends further with Romulo
Oliveira, who since 2005 has expertly handled the team’s
high volume of marketing, making Linda Suk a household
name in Fullerton and the surrounding communities. He is also a professional photographer who uses cutting edge editing software to
present every home at its best. Diane Gantt has
known Linda since 1994 and takes the lead in
hosting the team’s open houses, securing buyers with her exceptional warmth and many
years of industry knowledge. This multi-ethnic
team speaks fluent English, Korean, Spanish
and Portuguese among them, and they are all
responsive to the diverse cultural customs of
residents in their area.
The team remembers Diane’s late husband,
Allan Gantt, with special fondness. “Allan and
Diane were the owners of our brokerage, which
was CENTURY 21 Accent when we first started,” Vladimir explains. “Allan was the model
broker, the best anybody could dream of working with. We all learned from him, and he is
still a part of who we are today.”
“Over the years, I’ve seen teams come
and go,” Vladimir says. “We know we have
something special here, and we don’t have
to pretend to be anybody other than who we
are. We know the strengths and weaknesses
of each one, and our honesty and respect
toward each other is the basis for everything
we do.” That esteem carries over to the
lasting relationships the team has built in their
community.

Linda is a dynamic leader, whose boundless energy and
enthusiasm infuse everyone around her. She arrives at the
office each morning by 6:00 a.m., eager to greet her coworkers and start the day. Her motivation comes not from
money, but from helping people. Everyone she meets is a
friend, not just a client. As a result, the team does a high
volume of referral and repeat business.
“Linda has a little phone book,” Vladimir explains. “She
calls people every single day just to say hello. She is so
good at staying in touch with people. She’s an amazing
connector who remembers their wishes and wants and always follows through.”
The genuine warmth exuded by Linda and her team
members is reciprocated by their clients. “You can be that
agent who shakes hands, or the agent that hugs,” Vladimir
says. “So many clients, years down the road, open up their
arms to come give me a hug. There’s no money that pays
that kind of reward.”
Vladimir describes Linda as focused and fair, and a person of the highest moral values. “She has a lot of qualities that make her stand out. I don’t measure a person by
the number of trophies they’ve won – and she has a lot
of those. She has been a CENTURION and Double CENTURION for as long as I can remember. But more importantly, she has the ethics that stand out in any culture. She
goes back to the basics in this profession. It doesn’t matter

if you have a Facebook page or use a tablet when you do a
listing presentation. What truly matters is your moral positioning. Her reputation precedes her.”
Linda’s team stakes their award-winning reputation
on putting their clients before profits. “Our relationships
mean more to us than anything. No commission is worth
going against our values. I always say, when I’m old, what
am I going to do, buy a solid gold cane? I’d rather be surrounded by friends who are there to give me a hand to
walk. That’s what our team is all about.”
