Lynde strives to give clients confidence along the way regardless of market conditions, taking the time to ask hard, smart questions, to understand where her clients' wealth is today and where they want it to be tomorrow. The ability to have a disciplined process and manage risk plays a large role in that.

Personally, Lynde was born and raised in Maine and invites any conversation surrounding a visit there! She and her husband, Reagan, married in 2005 and made Reagan's hometown, "Aggieland", their home the same year, where they hve raised thei son and daughter. They are "all in" on this wonderful & growing Bryan-College Station community and love being rooted in the traditions and local organizations. The Jackson's enjoy time with friends and family, travelling, surfing, golf, tennis/padel and pickle ball, boating, local theatre, attending A&M sporting events, and downtown Bryan's "First Fridays".
