S3E3 - Meet CFO Lyndsey Gallagher - Where Family Legacy Meets Fast Moving Leadership

In this episode of Work Hard, Play Hard, and Give Back – A Real Estate Podcast, host Michael Litzner sits down with Lyndsey Gallagher, Chief Financial Officer of Coldwell Banker American Homes, to talk about what it’s really like leading in a family-run company that’s been growing strong for nearly four decades.

Lyndsey shares how she went from answering phones in the office as a teenager to managing the financial operations that power more than 1,000 agents and 100 employees. She talks about building faster, smarter systems that help agents get paid in hours, not weeks, her legendary “Croatia yacht” story, and how compassion, culture, and community remain at the heart of the Gallagher legacy.

You’ll hear about:

• How family values still guide a modern, fast-moving brokerage
• The systems and mindset behind same-day commission payouts
• Balancing business, leadership, and life
• The ongoing impact of the Heart of American Homes Foundation
• And, of course, the “Drop the Mike” moment you don’t want to miss
