Linda McKinley - Certified Mortgage Advisor (CO License #100019452)

Linda McKinley knows the importance of building on solid ground.  Since moving from Denver to Glenwood Springs in 1976, she has spent 30 years developing a personal brand that begins with family, incorporates caring, practicality and experience, and culminates with a strong sense of community.

Linda began her career on the Western Slope as a real estate broker, and after twenty years in the business, transitioned into mortgage lending.  In 1994 she landed her first job as a loan processor.  She was soon appointed Branch Manager of the office and plunged full speed into loan origination.  Learning the mortgage business from the ground up provided Linda a solid foundation of knowledge and expertise.

Although her occupation is an important part of Linda's identity, she is most devoted to her husband of 30 years, Bill, and daughter Elli.  Bill is a retired real estate broker, and Elli, a busy college student, who enjoys outdoor sports. The McKinleys like to cook and are avid readers, but traveling is their ultimate escape.

Linda is also active in her community.  At 24 years old she joined the Jaycees to learn public speaking and leadership skills.  Over the years she has been a Chamber Ambassador, President of the Glenwood Springs Jaycees and Regional Director of the Colorado Jaycees.  She is currently a member of the Glenwood Springs Assn. of Realtors Affiliate Council and serves on the board of the Youth Zone Foundation, a non-profit that supports local youth and their families.  Linda is also a member of the Advisory Council of the Colorado Mortgage Lenders Assn. Western Chapter and the Lender Advisory Group of the Colorado Housing and Finance Authority (CHFA).

How does Linda manage it all? With sound family support, a sturdy business framework and her can-do attitude, everything builds from there.
