Starting in land and user based selling in Fort Worth with Hap Baggett in 1995, she was a part of many exciting deals, which has grown into a 31 year real estate career with over $640 million in real estate projects. 

That was just the beginning of a long and fruitful career in both commercial and residential real estate. Her resume is extensive, but her fierce loyalty, wisdom, direct, no-nonsense style, and light-hearted personality is what keeps her clients and colleagues fully devoted to her! When you work with Linda, you get the benefit of a lifetime of loyal relationships that opens doors others cannot even find.

Through Love for Kids, in 2019, Linda was awarded the Bill Barrett Philanthropy Award, which honors outstanding community members who make a difference in the lives of those in need within the North Texas area. She was the second woman to receive the award.

As Linda begins to move into semi-retirement, she is turning her focus to coaching and sharing the wisdom she has learned over the years with those who want to continue to grow their businesses. Currently, Linda is attending Coach U to add another layer of expertise to what she can provide clients. 

She is very excited for this next chapter in her distinguished career in loving on people and this community!
