Lindsey, love having you share your insights with us. Before we ask you more questions, maybe you can take a moment to introduce yourself to our readers who might have missed our earlier conversations?
I’m Lindsey Lamchick, the founder of The Edit, a luxury real estate brokerage in Miami, Florida. My journey into the world of real estate began with a strong foundation in law. I graduated from the University of Miami School of Law in 2005 and spent several years as a practicing attorney, specializing in real estate law.
In 2012, I decided to expand my horizons and obtained my real estate license, originally intending to use it for my personal real estate needs. Little did I know that this decision would lead to a thriving career in the industry.
My real estate journey started as a side hustle, helping friends, neighbors, and acquaintances with their real estate needs. However, during the COVID-19 pandemic, my career skyrocketed. Being originally from the New York area, I became a trusted resource for those looking to make the move to Miami. I gained a reputation for finding off-market deals and facilitating the relocation of numerous families. My success was solely based on word-of-mouth recommendations from satisfied clients and their friends who witnessed the dedication and expertise I brought to every transaction.
Having spent over a decade as an agent with Douglas Elliman, I have received prestigious accolades there such as the Gold Award in 2022 and the President’s Circle Award in 2021. In recent years, not only have I doubled my yearly production, but I decided to launch my own Title Company, exemplifying my commitment to delivering unparalleled service in the real estate industry. I have acquired a well-deserved reputation for being a paragon of trustworthiness, conscientiousness, and diplomacy.
While my time at a brokerage was invaluable, I’ve always had a strong entrepreneurial spirit and an unwavering desire to be a leader in the Miami real estate scene. I envisioned more than just being a part of a team; I wanted to build and lead my own team, shaping the future of the industry in this vibrant city.
My goal has always been to own my own real estate brokerage, and partnering with Side last fall was a pivotal step in achieving that dream. Side, a leading real estate technology brokerage, aligns perfectly with my entrepreneurial ambitions. Their mission is to empower high-achieving agents like me to not only run their businesses but also to grow them. It’s a partnership that enables me to combine my entrepreneurial drive with cutting-edge tools and support to take on the Miami real estate market.
In May 2023, I launched The Edit, a luxury real estate brokerage. At The Edit, we are built on the foundation of trust and success to curate and represent some of the most exquisite luxury properties in Miami. Our services extend beyond just buying or selling homes; we create tailored experiences for our clients, ensuring they find their dream homes or make lucrative investments in Miami’s dynamic real estate market.
What sets us apart is our unwavering commitment to personalized service, attention to detail, and a profound understanding of the local real estate landscape. Whether you’re looking for your dream home, an investment opportunity, or simply want to stay informed about the Miami real estate market, The Edit is here to provide expert guidance and unparalleled service. Thank you for considering us for your real estate journey!
What else should we know about how you took your side hustle and scaled it up into what it is today?
Juggling my career as an attorney specializing in contract disputes and negotiations since 2005, I added real estate as a side hustle in 2012. Throughout the years, my production in the real estate market steadily increased. However, it was in 2020 that my side hustle truly took off, and it hasn’t slowed down since. The demand for luxury properties, especially during the COVID pandemic, provided a unique opportunity for growth. Relocating individuals from major cities like New York, Los Angeles, and Chicago, I delved into numerous off-market deals, establishing valuable connections in the industry.
Leveraging my legal background, I navigated these transactions with precision and expertise. In May 2023, I officially founded The Edit Real Estate, marking a pivotal moment in my entrepreneurial journey. Since then, our venture has consistently thrived, becoming a prominent player in the luxury real estate market.
Any stories or insights that might help us understand how you’ve built such a strong reputation?
One key element that significantly contributed to my strong reputation within the real estate market is my exceptional negotiation skills. Drawing from my background in law, I approach negotiations with a keen eye for detail, a deep understanding of contracts, and a strategic mindset. This legal expertise allows me to navigate complex real estate transactions, ensuring that my clients secure the best possible deals and terms.
My reputation is also a product of my unwavering work ethic. I am known for my dedication and commitment to my clients’ goals. Whether it’s working late hours, conducting thorough market research, or going the extra mile to find off-market opportunities, I am willing to do whatever it takes to get deals done and exceed my clients’ expectations.
In addition to my negotiation skills and work ethic, my extensive network and personal connections have played a pivotal role in building my reputation. Being an active member of the community, I have fostered strong relationships with fellow professionals, local residents, and businesses. These connections not only provide valuable insights into the Miami real estate market but also enable me to access exclusive opportunities for my clients.
Perhaps the most critical aspect of my reputation is honesty and integrity. Clients and colleagues alike know that I operate with the utmost transparency and honesty in all my dealings. Trust is the foundation of any successful real estate transaction, and my clients can rely on me to provide candid advice and act in their best interests.
These qualities collectively make The Edit a trusted and respected name in the Miami real estate industry.
