Linda Thompson was raised near the Mexican border in Arizona and New Mexico. She spent her early childhood on her grandfather’s ranch in the remote Animas Valley of western New Mexico and later in Douglas, Arizona, which is a small border town in the eastern corner of Arizona.

Linda's family moved to Tucson for her high school years. Linda went on to attend the University of Arizona in Tucson. After college she went to work for a major air carrier as a flight attendant, and she enjoyed that career for 18 years. She was based at the San Francisco Airport and spent her last 6 years of flying commuting to Salt Lake City from the Bay area.

Linda raised two daughters during this time. One day her oldest daughter came upon a homeless family in need with a 5-day-old infant. Linda's daughter suggested to them that they could bring this baby to the Thompson home if they needed help. Sarah came into Linda's family home when she was 10 days old, and Linda has recently adopted her. Sarah is now 7 years old.

Linda has been in real estate for 18 years. She spent her first few years in this business on the peninsula south of San Francisco and has been in Sonoma since 1992. The Wine Country of Sonoma and Napa Counties is a fabulous area to be in this business. She especially enjoys helping people to relocate to this area. With her years of flying all over the U.S., she has some concept of where they are coming from.

She seems to always find the right home for the right people at the right time. Linda is happy to have met some very wonderful people and made some great friends in the process.
