Known as a force of nature in her industry, Linda strikes a fine balance while also being approachable to her clients, associates, and the Realtor Community. As a highly competent, caring agent, and staunch advocate for her clients' needs, Linda has cultivated essential long term relationships.

Though her technical proficiency, intimate market knowledge, and marketing campaigns are superior, it's her love for people and the opportunity to enhance their lives that drives her to succeed. She enjoys working with all types of clients from buyers and sellers, to tenants and landlords, plus investors, always striving to deliver an excellent outcome that will encourage a continued relationship for years to come.

A native Houstonian, Linda has been a keen observer of the city's growth over the past 25 years, and specializes in a wide range of markets that include the Inner Loop, The Heights, West University, Bellaire, Montrose, Braeswood Place, Mid Lane, River Oaks, Highland Village, and related neighborhoods. Her experience also covers the gamut of luxury resale and new construction properties including townhomes, patio homes and single-family homes.

Keeping her ear to the ground about her market in terms of what is selling and sitting and why, plus her knowledge of what exogenous factors might be coming that will affect her clients' goals of buying or selling are essential skills to achieving success in all market conditions. Forward-thinking and on her toes, Linda is able to deftly analyze client needs, make sound recommendations and act upon them quickly. As unforeseen issues may arise, she is able to preempt problems and provide creative solutions.

Linda begins every buyer relationship by understanding their lifestyle and long-term goals in order to maximize both their wish list and location criteria. With sellers, Linda presents a keen sense of the market based on current data and works to determine a list price that will encourage offers. At Martha Turner Sotheby's International Realty, Linda has access to macro and micro market development data in real time which she breaks down and shares with her clients, specifically catered to the market they are interested in exploring, and the lifestyle that meets their needs.

Linda Shupe attributes her drive into a real estate career to a maddening experience selling Girl Scout Cookies as a young girl - it's a priceless story that only she can tell!
