I moved to West Linn when I was 14, and one of the first people I met was Linda Barnes—the warm and welcoming high school secretary. Helping her and her husband sell their home of 40+ years was such an honor. 14-year-old me could never have predicted I’d still be here, helping people buy and sell homes in the community I love. 💚
