Linda Murphy, born in Dublin Ireland, grew up a proud Scarborough kid in the 60’s and 70’s. After university, Linda became a teacher, and remained in the classroom for 15 rewarding years.
In 1999, Living in Thornhill, and having had three children in the previous 5 years, Linda felt she needed a change – she sought out a new career in an attempt to strike a better life/work balance. Linda started her own Communication Coaching company – she taught her clients public speaking, interview, and negotiating skills. It was through coaching REALTORS®, that first sparked her interest in a Real Estate career for herself, as she witnessed their success, by way of her methods taught. In 2003, Linda became a licensed REALTOR®, and quickly rose to be one of the top producers for Royal LePage, nationally.
In 2013, Linda and her family relocated to Collingwood, where they adore the outdoor lifestyle, especially via skiing, tennis, and hiking.
What is the most challenging thing you have ever done?
In 2019, I backpacked, one of the world's longest continuous wilderness footpaths...the Pacific Crest Trail. I hiked, mostly solo, from Mexico to Canada, raising over $27,000 for our local Shelter for women and children, My Friend's House, and for Domestic Violence-prevention Programs across Canada.
