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!

Martha Turner Sotheby's International Realty Circle of Excellence member Annie Raburn sells homes from River Oaks to The Woodlands. A resident of Pine Shadows for over 27 years, Annie focuses her marketing in Tanglewood and surrounding neighborhoods. She is very experienced in helping relocation clients and assists clients throughout the Houston metropolitan area. Annie is a consistent top producer who is recognized in the industry for outstanding production.

Annie has done everything in real estate from on-site sales for a condominium conversion in downtown Houston to managing a real estate firm for nine years. However, her first love is helping clients sell and purchase their homes – just as it was when she started her career over 14 years ago. “I find it very rewarding to match the needs of a client to just the right house,” Annie says. “Over the years many clients have become personal friends. My interest in them is not merely as their agent but reflects genuine concern for them as individuals. Once you have established a relationship with clients regarding such a personal and important transaction as buying or selling a home you want to preserve that relationship in order to help them in the future.”

Customer service is paramount for Annie. “My husband and I previously owned a well-known freelance court reporting firm for twenty-plus years and I learned that service is king - regardless of the product,” she says.
