The Tomlinson Group Joins PLACE to Elevate Growth, Efficiency, and Agent Success
“My agents will now have access to an entire company dedicated to their success—guiding, coaching, and holding them accountable. That level of support accelerates business growth far more quickly than I could provide alone.”
CHILLICOTHE, Ohio, June 2025 — PLACE, the real estate industry’s only all-in-one business services and technology platform for top teams at any brokerage, announced today that Meredith Tomlinson and The Tomlinson Group are now powered by PLACE. PLACE improves profitability and production to make running a real estate business easier.
Meredith Tomlinson, owner and operator of The Tomlinson Group, leads a highly skilled team serving South Central Ohio, including Chillicothe, Circleville, Columbus, and surrounding areas. Over her career, she and the team have helped more than 1,600 clients buy and sell homes.
Before transitioning into real estate in 2006, Meredith earned a degree in fashion merchandising with a minor in business and worked in management, gaining valuable experience in business operations, problem-solving, and client relations. After moving back to her hometown, her mother-in-law, a seasoned real estate professional, encouraged her to explore a career in real estate. “With her guidance, I decided to go all in, and I’ve never looked back,” Meredith said. “This industry has given me the opportunity to help people while building a business I’m passionate about.”
Building a team in a small-town market presented challenges, especially as the first team model in the area. “People told me it wouldn’t work, but I stayed focused, committed to my agents, and determined to deliver the best possible experience for our clients,” Meredith shared. “I believe in the power of collaboration, and I’ve seen firsthand how a team-driven approach allows us to provide a higher level of service and expertise.” Today, The Tomlinson Group is focused on delivering value through mentorship, systems, and a culture of support.
For Meredith, partnering with PLACE is the next step in elevating her team’s growth while maintaining efficiency and service excellence. “I truly believe in the power of connecting with those who have proven models and systems,” she said. “Having a framework that drives efficiency and accelerates growth allows me to better support my agents and serve our clients at a higher level.”
Through PLACE, The Tomlinson Group will gain access to industry-leading technology, training, and operational support, empowering agents with the tools they need to succeed. “My agents will now have access to an entire company dedicated to their success—guiding, coaching, and holding them accountable,” Meredith said. “That level of support accelerates business growth far more quickly than I could provide alone.”
“Meredith has built an incredible business by staying focused on what truly matters—her agents, her clients, and her community,” said Ben Kinney, co-founder of PLACE. “We’re excited to help her take her team to the next level with proven systems that support long-term success.”
“Meredith’s decision to partner with PLACE reflects her commitment to leadership and growth,” said Chris Suarez, co-founder of PLACE. “Her drive to elevate both her business and her agents’ careers aligns with our mission, and we’re honored to support her as she scales her impact across South Central Ohio.”
With this partnership, The Tomlinson Group is set to expand strategically, offering agents the structure, training, and support to grow their businesses while continuing to deliver an outstanding real estate experience for clients. “I’m building a legacy business that allows agents to thrive,” Meredith said. “With PLACE, we now have the foundation to grow with confidence and create opportunities for years to come.”
