Lynette Wilson of Auburn, New York,
has spent twenty-seven years growing
her real estate career by turning per-
sonal adversity into fuel for empathy,
compassion, and infinite interpersonal
understanding. I really care about peo-
ple. I think when you lose a child, or
youre going through something very
difficult with a child, you just look at
life differently and you look at people
differently. Real estate can be a rough
business with people driven by numbers
and transactions but thats just not me.
Before formally entering the industry,
Lynette was exposed to real estate through several gener-
ations of agents. My mother and grandmother are both
native Italians, she recalls. When my grandmother
moved to Auburn with my grandfather, they started buy-
ing up property together, and my mother started selling
real estate in the eighties. In 1988, I met my husband
and married him in 1991. I was a teen mother at 17 years
old, and earned a degree in criminal justice as a single
mother working 3 jobs. Eventually, she decided to fol-
low the family path in real estate, earning her license in
1996 and hitting the ground running. This career has
treated me well, she explains.
After working for a separate agency for five years,
Lynette decided to obtain her brokers license. I just
felt confident enough to go into business for myself,
she exudes. I had my office in the basement of my
home right here in Auburn, started my own company,
and eventually got recruited by a few referral partners.
Today in 2023, L. Wilson Realty houses ten additional
agents who have thrived with Lynettes guidance, and
she eagerly celebrates their improvements on her tried-
and-true methods of doing business. My agents are
brilliant, eager, and supportive. They are just incredi-
ble with social media weve got TikTok, Instagram,
YouTube, everything in-house now we still do a lot of
open houses and print advertising, but we stay ahead of
our digital pipelines as well.
As an individual agent, Lynette maintains
over 50 annual transactions serving all
of central New York. She was awarded
a Woman in Business award in 2009,
has been a Platinum Producer for eigh-
teen years in a row, and a recipient of the
REALTOR of the Year award in 2011.
Lynette was even able to maintain this
stellar track record in 2021 when, in the
span of three months, she lost her father,
her best friend, and her daughter. I also
raised two grandchildren until 2021, she
explains. I could write a whole book
about that year. She feels fortunate to
have been supported by her community
and her family, including her husband, their son (a mem-
ber of the US Air Force), and their daughter (an actress
in Los Angeles). I have a lot of respect for the people
here in Auburn the attorneys I work with, the families
Ive met Im a hometown girl for life, and proud of it.
Lynette converted this tumultuous year into a source
of kindness for others. Im a grassroots founder of an
organization called HEAL. I have spoken about drug
addiction at local schools, with the governor, and to
anyone who will listen. I love doing these things for our
community, especially if it helps people wrestle with
that pain. I know Ill never stop working, but now that
Im training the next generation of REALTORS, I want
