Linse Meadows is a Realtor on a mission to help families grow long-term wealth through real estate. She combines tireless attention and extensive first-hand experience to educate clients as she walks with them through the buying and selling process. She loves guiding clients through the purchase of their first starter home with $0 down, paying less for a mortgage than they do for rent. But even more, she enjoys moving them into their dream home five years later, this time with $50K in equity to put on the table. Linse skillfully leads clients through the new build process, working to knock down the price of inventory homes and negotiating for thousands in design center upgrades. She stays with clients all the way to move-in day, running intense final inspections with an expert who often identifies repairs and AC issues buyers would never expect from a newly built house. She advises clients on when to sell homes quickly as-is or when to make strategic upgrades to get a better price point. And she shows families how to invest in rental properties as a path to a healthy financial future.

Linse is a 37-year-old Katy local, a graduate and wrestling champion from Katy High School, and an expert in the Katy and the West Houston area with over 210 closed transactions (sales, purchases, and rentals) in the past nine years. She purchased her first rental property at only 21 years old and pressed on to obtain a real estate license.







With Linse's construction and design experiences she has flipped 25 houses and owns rental properties for future retirement income. Linse has had great success as an owner of short-term rental properties on AirBnB. As an AirBnB Superhost she has hosted almost 2,000 stays in three years.This personal experience translates to invaluable insight for Linse's clients, a sharp perspective on the short and long-term value of a home.

Linse works round the clock with the help of a capable transaction coordinator and a diligent assistant. The moment a client contacts her she is immediately working for them. She will hop in her car and visit properties, send videos, and give helpful insight right away. Linse believes in a no pressure experience for her clients, empowering and helping them to make informed decisions that they are comfortable with. She brings an all-star roster of local Katy, Texas, experts to the table, ready to respond at all hours of the day. These include lenders who work fast and help first timers get in with zero dollars down. They also include interior designers who stage homes perfectly to sell, professional home photographers, and inspectors who show up on time and don't miss a thing. She keeps a list of the best sub-contractors and specialists for any issue that might come up during the sale, purchase, or upgrade of a home. Her team mobilizes – fast – to get your business done. Her network took 14 years to build, but it can be at her client's disposal tomorrow. As your Realtor Linse's number one job is to be straight with her clients. She listens hard to what her clients want and need, and then gives them the best possible advice about loans, homes, and investment properties. Her history with the Katy area means her clients will have inside knowledge like knowing exactly how high or low to bid, depending on the neighborhood. Once a decision is made to jump, she's right behind you making it happen together!

Houstonian by heart and choice! Originally from Mexico, I have lived in The Space City for 36 incredible years! I've been married for 25 years, and having two kids helps me understand the importance of finding a home in the right neighborhood for my clients and their families. After graduating from college, I started my journalism career, which spans over 20 years with several major English and Spanish television news networks in Texas. I covered incidents and celebrations within Houston and its surrounding areas. I met many people from all walks of life, which allowed me to understand the residential area that fit their lifestyles and priorities. As children were growing up, our family lifestyle and preferences changed, so in 2009, I decided to get my license in real estate; nothing has been more fulfilling to me than seeing my clients' faces when they closed on the home of their dreams! Helping my clients with the buying process is my passion. I believe that we continue learning and enriching our knowledge throughout our lives. In 2015, I returned to college and got a degree from UH in psychology, with minors in Mexican American Studies and Journalism. I also earned a Masters degree from Pepperdine University in Clinical psychology. Like anyone else, I can't predict what tomorrow will be, but I aim to help another client fulfill their dream home today!
