Brenham Real Estate Agents

Linda Niehuus has been involved in real estate, in some form or fashion, since 1973, during which time she worked as a sales associate in the Memorial area. When living internationally, she put her agent skills on 'hold,' but continued to own and manage rental property. Now a long-time resident of Austin County, Linda specializes in country homes, farms, ranches and equestrian facilities. She enjoys listing and showing properties in Brenham, Bellville, Fayetteville, New Ulm and other the surrounding areas--working in a four-county area. "Real estate is what I know and love," she says. "It's often the most important investment a person makes and can become a wealth-builder, as well as a style of living." It's no surprise that Linda's diverse background and international experiences have proved advantageous to her career. "Everything I have ever done professionally has involved working with people, often from vastly different backgrounds, to help them define and meet their needs." "Moving from Paris, France to Nelsonville, Texas was quite a culture shock," says Linda. "We had to learn about ranching and raising animals. It was a real learning curve for several years, so I understand others who are in similar situations." Linda and her family owned and operated a 76 acre cow/calf and horse ranch named "HayWire Ranch" for 19 years, in addition to owning and managing investment properties in Houston, Austin and Bellville. When she's not working, Linda enjoys riding horses, gardening, scuba diving, and biking.
