Crossman & Company CEO John Crossman retiring


John Crossman

ORLANDO, FL -- John Crossman, CEO of Crossman & Company, announced today that he is retiring.  Crossman is 48 years old.

When asked what prompted his decision, Crossman explained that a couple of family members have some medical issues – not life-threatening but they are significant – and he wants to focus on care giving.

Jim Seneff
Crossman is one of the most well-known brokers in the US.

His career, spanning over 26 years, has been highlighted by numerous achievements both professionally and through his community leadership.  
 Crossman plans to continue to do some charitable work and consulting.

“My focus right now is my family and I am going to take as much time as it takes to care for them.  It’s likely that I will be back working at some point in the future but I don’t have a timetable right now,” he said.

Scott Crossman
Crossman remains the youngest person ever to be named to the FSU College of Business Hall of Fame.  The only other Central Florida resident joining him is Jim Seneff.

 John is also a member of the University of Florida Honorary Alumni Association joining coaches Billy Donovan, Urban Meyer and Ron Zook.

He was named CEO of The Year in 2018 by the Orlando Business Journal and one of the top 500 Most Influential Business Leaders in the state by Florida Trend magazine in both 2018 and 2019.

Crossman is widely recognized for his work with college students and his commitment to diversity.  He wrote a best selling book for millennials and college students and he endowed the first ever real estate scholarships at both FAMU and B-CU which are HBCUs (historically black colleges and universities).

 John Zielinski 
 He also has Real Estate scholarships at FSU, UCF and UF. UNCF, Urban League, the African American Chamber of Commerce and many others have recognized his contributions.

“I am a servant leader.  My role in life is to serve others and to make an impact for those who are marginalized. 

"For this season of my life, I will be serving my family members who need me the most right now,” Crossman said.

Scott Crossman, the founder, who has continued to serve as a corporate officer for 29 years, will return to the role of CEO

John Zielinski will remain as President and head of operations for Crossman & Company.
