Lindsey Erickson

Lindsey Erickson's path into real estate started with a retirement plan. After 25 years building a career in the technology and services side of the insurance industry, the last several as CEO of a national flood services company, Lindsey got her real estate license in early 2024 to prepare for what came next. She joined NMAR that January, but didn't actually step away from her previous career and start selling real estate full-time until August 2025.

Since then, she's made up for lost time. Within months of joining PureWest Real Estate, Lindsey was asked to join the Connect Montana Real Estate Team, and she volunteered to take on team leadership, transaction coordination, and deal management, on top of her own production, at no cost to her teammates. She's supported her business partners on 10 additional deals while building her own client base from scratch.

Lindsey brought her flood insurance background back into the industry in an unexpected way: she partnered with the Montana DNRC to build and teach floodplain management continuing education courses, free to participants, in both Missoula and Kalispell this spring. She's also active on NMAR's Government Affairs Committee and the CRS committee, and is working toward her CRS (Certified Residential Specialist) designation, held by fewer than 4% of industry professionals nationally.

Beyond real estate, she believes strongly in being involved and giving back to her community. She serves with the Daybreak Rotary Club, volunteers with Shepherd's Hand supporting the community's elderly, gives her time to the Red Cross and Adopt-a-Highway since 2015, plants trees for Arbor Day since 2018, has donated blood since 2010, sponsors a child through Compassion International since 2020, sponsors local high school scholarship programs, and serves on a nonprofit board mentoring rising entrepreneurs. She's logged 18 hours of continuing education in the last 12 months alone.
