Women in Real Estate Honoree: Lindsay Ornstein, Transwestern

Lindsay Ornstein is a co-founder of Transwestern’s New York’s office, and she is leading a big change for the office: a commission-free business model.

It’s a huge contrast to the rest of the real estate business, where a commission-only compensation structure dominates. Transwestern’s new commission-free model has slashed internal competition and opened the doors for collaborative work, a better culture, and in return, the best work product and service for clients.

As a partner at Transwestern, she has also worked alongside the regional leadership team to even the ratio between male and female employees, bringing Transwestern New York’s office to three men per two women.

Her leadership is just one of the reasons we chose Ornstein to be one of the 2017 Women in Real Estate Award winners for New York. Connect Media’s Women in Real Estate Awards honor the achievements and inspirational stories of those women who have reached respected positions of leadership, and play key mentorship roles for others in commercial real estate.

Ornstein recently founded the Transwestern Women’s Leadership Council, adding voices across disciplines from coast to coast to an esteemed group of professional women championing the best of the firm. She is also chairman of the Young Men’s/Women’s Real Estate Association.
