Lindsey Schlomann

Lindsey Schlomann says it’s all about the culture. But even better when your culture is fostering some incredible growth and volume. Expanding from five offices to 21 this past year, Schlomann led an absolutely spectacular 2021 for McGraw, with closed sales volume for the brokerage increasing almost 70% over 2020 and transactions up 43%.

That aforementioned culture, which has allowed Schlomann to accomplish all this, is defined as empowering everyone in every office to be a leader, equipping managing brokers with the training and technology to break through into new markets and investing in every single agent’s success.

With such rapid expansion, there was a sense of worry that the company would lose touch with its roots—with this trust and nurturing of independent leadership. But Schlomann calls it her “greatest accomplishment” that McGraw stayed true to all this, even as the company spread its wings and soared.
