Maggie York
Owner + VP of Account Services
Maggie grew up on a ranch in Lander, Wyoming, a small town in the shadow of the Wind River Range. One of the many lessons she brought from Lander to Linden is about being genuine, and always choosing to be honest and kind. Living authentically, with these qualities, helps to build a respectable reputation – both in business and in a town where everybody knows everybody – and they just make you a good person.
Show Up
Maggie comes from a family that is always there for each other and always has been. They aren’t just close, they’re tight; interwoven; connected. As a family, the Budds support each other’s dreams, talk about the hard stuff, laugh over a glass of whiskey, work hard, love big, and they are always available for an airport pickup. They show up for one another, and this is a trait that has come to define Maggie. She’s fiercely loyal – to her humans and her dogs – and she’s always there with an ear to listen, to give advice with a thoughtful perspective, to help plan or to do the heavy lifting, and to say “yes” to happy hour.
On the Case
Podcast, Netflix series, novel, old episodes of “Forensic Files,” if it’s murder-y, Maggie’s into it. In part because she likes seeing how events are reported – ever the journalist – and watching the story unfold detail by detail. In part it’s the thrill of the mystery and the satisfaction of every part in its place at the conclusion. (Has Maggie mentioned her favorite way to destress is to organize closets? This tracks.) But what Maggie really loves about the crime show scene is … we don’t actually know. But her hubs seems to get it.
Picture this: you arrive home from a long day of being a total boss and running your own successful business, there’s a glass of wine waiting for you, dinner prep is underway and your husband already has your current favorite crime show on. (Joel is on board for everything but “Snapped.”) Life is good.
Take the Cowgirl Out’the Country
But you can never take the country outta the cowgirl. It’s unclear whether Maggie always brings her boots when she travels, but she sure knows how to pack. From a trip to South Africa with her family, where she remembers it feeling so open and yet she felt so close to everything (ask her about baboons chasing her brothers), to a road trip along the east coast that inadvertently turned into a ghost tour, to an anniversary trip to Europe where the dirndl and lederhosen fit just right, Maggie will always say “yes” to adventure.
Never one to let herself get boxed into a place or perception, while Maggie’s roots are strong and run deep, her wings are strong too, and she’s ready to fly.

Move to Maggie’s beat.
When in doubt, always choose George Strait. Maggie recommends that sentimental, feel-good country music for work and for play.
