Realtor helps find clients perfect home between Houston, Austin

- By Valerie Sweeten FREELANCE WRITER

Martha Turner Sotheby’s Internatio­nal Realty Realtor Linda Plant is in a “country state of mind” and enjoys helping her clients reach that goal.

Plant, who works primarily in Fayette, Washington, Austin and Colorado counties between Houston and Austin, specialize­s in country properties, whether it’s a 400-acre ranch or a 10acre farm. She also offers residentia­l properties throughout Brenham, Round Top, La Grange, Bellville and other small towns.

“I am passionate about the country lifestyle and love driving down beautiful back roads to see country property big or small and the charming small towns in this area. This past year has shown Houstonian­s that they can work from anywhere. Why not have a place with plenty of room for kids to play and be outdoors with plenty of room for social distancing?” she said.

Plant, who formerly lived in West University with her husband, purchased their country property in Round Top in 2003 and moved there full time in 2015.

After retiring from the energy industry as an internatio­nal crude oil trader in 2015, Plant then became a Realtor, where she was able to utilize her negotiatin­g, analytical and organizati­onal skills.

“I wanted to do something totally different and have always loved farm and ranch real estate,” Plant said. “I have always valued and nurtured my relationsh­ips with my clients and that carries over to Real Estate. It makes me truly happy to see my clients either find the property that best fits them or sell their property for the best price.”

Plant has been honored by MTSIR as a Top Producer and recognized in the Circle of Excellence.

Her goal is aid clients find their perfect place. She is known for her extraordin­ary communicat­ion ability, problem solving, honesty and strong ethics.

“I know it sounds cliche, but I do want my clients to be happy and go above and beyond to make that happen. I am positive ‘glass is half full person,’ hard worker, honest, problem solver and love what I do,” she said.

Plant also cares about her Round Top community, including serving as on the board as president of Friends of Winedale. She supports the Winedale Historical Complex, a division of the University of Texas Briscoe Center for American history, and is involved in the Round Top Library.
