A-List Highlights: Linda Lee

Linda Lee

When you reach the height of success, what’s next? Linda Lee exemplifies how giving back to the communities we love is the culmination of a legacy of excellence. For nearly 20 years, Linda has been a consistent top producer. However, it would be surprising to discover this former UCSD grad actually began her career as a CPA.

Linda’s passion for real estate started early, watching her Taiwanese family manage and invest in properties in the U.S. while still living abroad. Coming from such a successful family and legacy did not place much value in real estate, so one can imagine the difficult transition that came when Linda Lee revealed her plans to pursue real estate full time. Real estate is a difficult business, you can only harvest what you can reap with your own hands. There is no consistency, no regular salary – just what you can make of it. And many clients have had their fair share of negative experiences. When asked why Linda still has such a vibrant passion in real estate and what motivates her to succeed, she laughed and replied, “if I can be frank, I’ve just seen so many bad real estate agents that I wanted to commit myself to making sure people redefine their perception of the real estate agent”.

For Linda, real estate is not just a profession or a passion, but it’s a vital aspect of any community. For this reason, Linda has spent years with the National Associations of Realtors to support legislation and lobbying efforts protecting and promoting homeownership and private property

rights. Not only is Linda a year after year top producer, but she has also been named to the NAR RPAC Hall of Fame for her work advocating for greater access to homeownership.

On top of all of her accomplishments, Linda has also spent years giving back to the youth in her local communities. Linda has provided scholarships for high school students, helping students unable to find the resources to attend school to get the support needed to pursue academics. She has also provided workshops for college students, helping them get connected to professionals in her field to get a jump start on the professional world that would greet them soon after graduation. When asked why she does all of this, on top of continuing to exceed in her real estate career – Linda simply said, “This is my legacy. I want to help others in this world because I can. I want to provide the opportunity for those who are looking and allow others to pursue their dreams like I did”.
