Originally from Wisconsin, Linda Russell spent years living and working along the East Coast in cities including Philadelphia, Washington D.C., Maryland, Virginia, and New York before relocating to Texas about seven years ago. Drawn to the Hill Country and Lake Travis lifestyle through her husband’s career in tech, Linda quickly fell in love with Austin’s unique mix of creativity, community, outdoor living, and opportunity. From live music and local markets to lake life and the city’s ever-evolving energy, she appreciates the lifestyle Austin offers and the individuality that makes each neighborhood distinct.
Before transitioning into real estate, Linda built a career rooted in creativity, branding, and client experience. She worked as the Head of Creative Marketing and Sales, owned a successful pet sitting business, and continues to work in wardrobe and product styling for brands. With a degree in Graphic Design and experience in visual storytelling, staging, and marketing, Linda brings a highly creative and strategic perspective to real estate. Her passion for homes began early through a love of architecture, interiors, and design, and after leaving the corporate world, she decided to pursue real estate full time — a decision she describes as one of the best she’s ever made. Today, Linda is known for her strong work ethic, seamless communication, and ability to create standout marketing that helps homes connect emotionally with buyers.
Outside of real estate, Linda enjoys staying active, spending time outdoors, and exploring Austin with her husband and their two beloved dogs, Frank, an English Mastiff, and Riley, a Rhodesian Ridgeback. She’s also a brand ambassador for Get Joy dog food, combining her love for animals with content creation and community involvement. In her free time, Linda enjoys hiking, live music, shopping, sports, fantasy football, and staying active through pickleball, basketball, softball, and kickball. Her energy, creativity, and relationship-focused approach make her a trusted advocate and guide for her clients.
