In 1988, Liniger was recognized as one of the top ten U.S. women for her outstanding achievement in business, the arts and public service. In 1989, she was awarded “Entrepreneur of the Year” for the state of Colorado in the real estate and construction category by the international accounting firm of Ernst & Young, and Inc. Magazine. From a field of nearly 8,000 participants nationally, she was named first runner-up. In 2005, she was named to the Colorado Business Hall of Fame, and in 2006 to the coveted International Franchise Association Hall of Fame. She is a licensed Colorado real estate broker and holds several REALTOR designations including Certified Residential Broker (CRB), Certified Relocation Professional (CRP), Accredited Buyer Representative (ABR) and the (QSC) Quality Service Certification. She also is a recipient of the Special Achievement Award from the Council of Residential Specialists (CRS), the largest not-for-profit affiliate of the National Association of Realtors®.

An avid golfer, Liniger is co-owner of Sanctuary Golf Course where numerous charity golf tournaments have raised millions of dollars. She is also co-founder of the Denver-area conservation center, The Wildlife Experience, designed and built for appreciation and understanding of wildlife. The 14-acre, 100,000 square foot facility located South of Denver is designed as a quality venue for exceptional cultural exhibits, an educational center for all ages and an ideal gathering place for social, civic and business activities. The Wildlife Experience offers a variety of educational tools and programs promoting wildlife, its conservation and the many forms of art which celebrate it. On a more personal level, her almost miraculous recovery from the near-fatal crash of a small private airplane in 1983 has served to inspire and motivate people both inside and outside the RE/MAX organization. |
