134: Maddi Abercrombie, Someone to Catch You, Monarch Group @ Compass

Maddi Abercrombie's story is one of grit, reinvention, and the kind of genuine heart you can't fake. A fellow Green Mountain grad now with the Monarch Group at Compass, Maddie grew up the oldest of three in Lakewood, with athletics as her entire identity — basketball, volleyball, and especially lacrosse, the sport that turned a passive kid into someone with a voice. With a devoted dad emailing college coaches and piecing together highlight tapes, she earned her way to Division II lacrosse at Lindenwood University in Missouri, reaching the Final Four three of her four years.Graduation brought an identity crisis and a sports-management degree that led to internships with the Nuggets, Avalanche, and Rams — none of which she loved. So at 23, encouraged by her dad to learn from relatives already thriving in real estate, she got her license, moved into her parents' basement, and bet on herself. The start was slow: nine months to her first deal and six more to her second, before deals two through eleven arrived in one spring market. A managing broker pushed her to call all 300 people she knew, and a generous mentor named Allie shared the business honestly — lessons that built the sphere she still leans on today.For years, Maddi also coached girls lacrosse at Green Mountain, leading the program to its first state championship while building her business in overdrive every spring. In 2022 she joined the Monarch Group — a collaborative team full of high-producing moms — and in April 2025 she and her husband, Andrew, welcomed their daughter, Maeve.In this episode, Maddi opens up about losing the athlete identity that defined her, the slow grind of her early years, the sacrifice of high school coaching, and the humbling, beautiful work of being a mom and a top agent at the same time. She shares why she's learning to say no, to relinquish control, and to let the world see that she doesn't have to be perfect. Above all, it's a conversation about dreaming big — and knowing there's always someone there to catch you.And Maddi's story… starts now!www.everettslending.com720-979-8742jimmy@everettslending.comIG: @jimmythesaint5280
