Two of the most important qualities that clients look for in a real estate agent are knowledge and experience. When clients work with Linda Day, they get both — plus decades of proven preeminent service as a master at negotiation. Linda loves when everyone wins. “It’s hard to match,” she acknowledges.

 

One of the keys to Linda’s success has been her continual pursuit of the latest industry knowledge, and she reads real estate news and legal updates every morning. “I am constantly reading to stay up to date on laws,” Linda affirms. “Knowledge helps me to serve my clients better. Texas A&M University has great real estate articles which are always very informative.”

 

Linda’s method for achieving outstanding outcomes for her clients is to keep to her fundamentals: staying focused, keeping it simple, serving others and sharing intelligence. A Certified Luxury Home Marking Specialist, which includes only the top 1% of REALTORS®, Linda’s many credentials include Certified Commercial Investments, Graduate REALTOR® Institute and Military Relocation Professional. For more than a decade, she has hosted her radio show with weekly guests. Get Real with Real Estate, on KRFE 580, is one of the oldest stations in Lubbock. Selling more than 50 homes in 2023, Linda was ranked #1 in Coldwell Banker as a single agent, not part of a team. Although she may be a luxury home specialist, she immediately points out, “I sell all houses.”

 

Although Linda could have easily chosen another career, she knew from the start that real estate was the right choice for her. “My husband was diagnosed with terminal cancer, and my son was just one year old,” Linda recalls. “I was confident I could take care of my family with work production, and the pay had no gender penalties.” You can make the same money, man or woman. I wanted a salary that would be dictated by my personal performance and work ethic.” First licensed in Louisiana in 1978, she worked the Shreveport area market before moving to Texas in 1982, where she has remained. 

 

Service to others has always been one of Linda’s major influences throughout her life. During her father’s career in the Civil Service, she had the opportunity to experience a diverse mix of locations. “I lived in Alaska, Anchorage and Fairbanks, for six years, and I also I lived on the island of Puerto Rico for two years,” Linda reminiscences. “Both places were absolutely amazing.” Eventually, her family moved to Albuquerque, NM, where she attended high school and New Mexico State University in Las Cruces. After marrying her husband in Amarillo, they moved to Lubbock when he went into the FAA as a Federal Air Traffic Controller. After her husband’s death, she moved to San Antonio for more opportunities provided by a larger market, selling to many military personnel. She sold several large Hill County ranches.

 

Thus, with her familiarity with service, Linda has a passion for helping veterans. “I love America,” she elaborates. “I spend hundreds of hours each year volunteering with our local veterans, VFW and Purple Hearts and have sold to hundreds of active-duty military personnel and veterans in my career.” She was also involved with The Monument of Courage as Chairwoman, located at 84th and Nashville, and she encourages everyone to visit it. She also has a passion for golf and plays whenever she can. “My husband played, and my son and my grandsons all play golf, so golfing is a a Day family tradition,” she explains, revealing a happy overlap in her passions. “The VFW State of Texas Vice Commander and the Purple Heart Lubbock Commander are part of my golf team here,” she smiles.

 

Her son, Eric, lives in Phoenix, AZ, with his wife, Devon, and their three children and has two allergy and dermatology clinics there. Southwest Airlines is her “third car,” Linda laughs, and she frequently flies out to see them, although the conveniences of modern technology don’t go unappreciated. “Thank goodness for Facetime,” she declares.

 

Although proud of her real estate accomplishments, in the end, Linda hopes she is remembered for things closer to the heart and soul than anything. “Being a great mom and grandmother, a giving person, the best loyal friend to many and a community servant for my volunteer work — that’s what I want to be remembered for,” she says.
