Modern real estate agreements seem to have zillions of pages and words. What can go wrong, right? Same as a jetliner requires a master mechanic to make sure everything is flying perfectly, Lindsey Sargent is our ace mechanic, guaranteeing every contract and agreement does exactly what the law and the parties expect from it. While she has never actually had a contract fall from the sky, Lindsey takes her job just as seriously, and her uncanny talent at insuring every document and line is precisely right makes her priceless to both us and our clients.

Lindsey also regularly gathers a roomful of our brokers and takes them deep into the finer points of contracts and forms. One of the hallmarks of a good agreement is clarity so in addition to her legal symposiums, Lindsey transforms into a lit professor when she schools new brokers on becoming regular real estate Hemingways. But not Faulkners. She requires succinctness.

And move over Rain Man. Lindsey has wielded her mainframe grey matter to lay claim to another accomplishment: blackjack tournament champion. And since we’re talking order, she is quite an electron enthusiast, given that her bike uses them for propulsion instead of the passe form of 19th century locomotion: pedaling.

But such embrace of structure sometimes requires stepping outside the lines. Lindsey admits she is mildly allergic to lobster chowder but eats it anyway. It’s not fugu but it’s her form of rebellion.
