Edina Realty Names Sharry Schmid President

Over her 21 years at Edina Realty, Schmid has held a variety of positions within the organization. Most recently Schmid served as senior vice president and regional manager of Edina Realty's Lakeville, Eden Prairie, Prior Lake, Savage and Shakopee offices as well as sales manager of the company's largest sales office at 6800 France Avenue in Edina. Prior to that, Schmid led the company's Builder Resource Group, a division that focused on large-scale condominium projects, and held branch manager roles for Edina Realty Title in both Burnsville and Rochester.

Jandric's accomplishments in her 34-year career are many. She is a leader in the industry with inclusion on national lists like Swanepoel's Power 200. During some of the most challenging years in the history of real estate, she helped guide Edina Realty through The Great Recession. And due to her collaborative approach and decisive leadership, she was integral to the company's 17 years of market leadership.

"I could always count on Barb to consider multiple perspectives when making important decisions," said Greg Mason, chief executive officer. "Our thanks and gratitude go to her for her perseverance, business acumen and strong leadership skills—all of which have helped build our company into what it is today."

Like Jandric, Schmid has bold plans to lead the company to further successes. Her vision includes ramping up the considerable help and resources already available to Edina Realty agents. She sees the complexity of the business as a key challenge today, and her focus will be on assuring agents have the best technologies, education and skills to deliver the best experience to Edina Realty customers.

"Barb has led the company well, and built the company to greatness. I'm honored to take over from her and to work with so many talented and dedicated agents and employees at Edina Realty," said Schmid.

In addition to her leadership roles at Edina Realty, Schmid has served on the Board of Directors for both the Minneapolis Area Association of REALTORS® and the St. Paul Area Association of REALTORS®.

"With Sharry's honesty, integrity, dedication to our strong company culture and doing what's right for our customers, I'm confident that she'll continue to build on our 17-year-strong position as the number one realty company in the upper Midwest," said Mason.
