Lesley is not just an amazing agent, she's a friend. After the hurricane it was a struggle to determine much about the market and it's standing. Her team were steadfast and strong despite the circumstances. Whatever questions or concerns, she was always available. She has a broad network and can facilitate whatever you may need. Not only will I recommend her, I urge you to welcome her and her team in the search or sale of your home.

Lesley helped my husband and I with finding our dream home in Punta Gorda Florida. I contacted Lesley about one of her listings and I'm so glad I did! We mostly searched for our home from a distance (NY State) and having an agent as knowledgeable as Lesley proofed to be invaluable. Her knowledge of the local market, the difference vibes of various locales and her unwavering support of our search lead us to our dream home. If youre looking for an agent who will listen and help you identify what your true wants are and lead you to your dream home and contact Lesley!!

I met Lesley while escaping the brutal Michigan winters in 2019. We were JUST beginning our research into purchasing or building here in SW FL. With her upbeat personality, attention to my every question, and her patience with my lack of knowledgeaEUR|..I knew Id found a good match with my realtor. I spent 2 winter seasons in FL in a fifth wheel and last year in a Cape Coral rental, all the while picking Lesleys brain about building codes, available properties and reputable contractors and tradesmen for our hopeful project. 3 seasonsaEUR|3 aEUR|.I asked so much of this highly knowledgeable and extremely motivated woman; she answered every question and guided us toward the best people for our needs. Returned phone calls within minutes, extremely efficient and well connected with local businesses. What a blessing for us! August 2021, we finally tied up our loose ends here in Michigan and began a REAL home search. With the market demanding immediate action and response, Lesley investigated all our homes of interest, steered us clear of the aEURoebig issues = badaEUR? homes and we ended up bidding on and landing the best home for us. Lesleys intuitive guidance coupled with her keen prowess regarding the navigation of complicated Florida real estate was the ONLY reason we aEURoewonaEUR? our little slice of palm tree bordered paradise. Accurate, agressive and quick is essential in this game and Lesley executes this well as the pro that she is. Even after the sale, she has been a GREAT help to suggest and coordinate our tradesmen and contractors for the anticipated improvements of our 50 year old home. I would not hesitate a moment to recommend Lesley and her team for any real estate endeavor. I'm very grateful for her expertise and consistently offering her valuable time and advice. We are thrilled to be her clients and now, Florida friends! ??????

My first conversation with Lesley was tell me what you want to do, we can do this etc, she was professional, knowledgeable about the area, she has a great sense of what works and how to get your attention; as well as a great sense of humor. She stays ahead of what's happening and keeps her clients informed. She makes things seem effortless, I was very impressed with Lesley, working with her was a joy.

Lesley was phenomenal. She listed and sold a piece of Florida land that had been in our family since 1967. Not beach front, not close to the water, not even on a canal or waterway. Just land that backed up to a school. I thought this would be a multi-year process. This was not the most desirable property in sunny Florida. While it took longer than Lesley's usual "5 days and sold" listings, Lesley was persistent, creative, and spot on with the price, and we finally sold in a no contingencies, cash deal. Lesley checked in often, and gave sage advice, even if it was to hold out for more money, which extended the list time and her stats! Thanks Lesley!! I'd recommend you to anyone!!!

Leslie has been a godsend with this purchase. I cannot stress enough how painless and effortless she has made the whole process. I was a long-distance purchaser and she made sure everything was done for me. From insurance quotes to repair estimates she does it all. She will not let anything go undone. If you want above and beyond service, this is your realtor!
