About

Lynn considers herself a Virginian, having left her South Carolina roots behind in 1991 after finishing her degree in Psychology. She made Richmond her home and loves that it is so close to the coast and a short ride to the mountains. Her favorite Virginia destination, however, is Smith Mountain Lake, just outside of Roanoke. She and her family spend time there every summer boating, swimming and feeling at peace. Once Lynn landed in Virginia, she was introduced to real estate and her career took off. She started as a legal assistant to a corporate real estate attorney down in Shockoe Slip, learning about acquisitions and variances. From there, she moved into residential law and helped to process and close purchase and relocation transactions for a prominent attorney. Eager to learn other facets of real estate, she joined Circuit City and managed over 30 retail stores in the Mid West, gaining an eduction in lease abstracts, common area maintenance and dispute resolution. She finished off this chapter of her career at Ntelos, a telecommunications company, managing ground leases for tower, antenna and electronic equipment. After 10 years with Ntelos, she retired to welcome her third child and care for her terminally ill husband. Retirement was bitter sweet. Lynn loved the flexibility of being there for her 3 children. Whether it was shuttling kids to soccer practices and games, taking care of her neighbors’ kids after school, sitting with her husband for his treatments or volunteering with hospice patients, her heart was full. After her husband’s passing, she knew she would need to return to work. Lynn took a part time job with an IT company that turned into a full time supervisory position. She led a team during Covid that provided students in Chesterfield, Henrico, New Kent and Prince George Counties with laptops so they could continue to learn at home. Missing the flexibility of her retirement days, however, she was called back to real estate. With such a diverse background in the field, she felt sales would give her the greatest control over her schedule, and also offer the greatest reward. Lynn earned her real estate sales license in February, 2022. She has been extremely successful in helping her clients purchase and sell homes and and her integrity, excellent communication skills, commitment to industry practices and humor make her a great companion to any real estate transaction. Oh, and where did the name Red Dog come from? Glad you asked! Lynn’s late husband, Joe Tauchen, always drew a dog head on the cards and notes he gave Lynn and the kids. And one time, he made a video and used “Red Dog Productions” with the dog head in the credits. So Red Dog Realty was created to honor him. The dog in the logo was taken directly from one of his drawings, as well as the flowers.
