Jacqueline Lechner, who currently serves as the Woodstock broker of record for Compass, will be taking on the additional role of sales manager. In the position, she will support various Illinois agents and help to grow the business.

Prior to joining Compass, Lechner worked at Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Starck Real Estate as the vice president of broker development and at Starck Real Estate as the vice president of brokerage. In total, she’s been in the industry for 24 years and has been honored as Realtor of the Year by the Heartland Realtor Association.

“I have worked in multiple roles with many brokerages, but I believe Compass is the brokerage that is blazing the trail that all other brokerages will soon follow,” Lechner said in a press release. “Real Estate tech has traditionally been difficult to learn with separate systems strung together like Frankenstein … The Compass technology has been built from the ground up to create a simple, seamless, integrated platform that brokers may use to enhance their relationships and provide a second-to-none buying and selling experience for their clients.”
