Choosing the right home for you is more than just the land, foundation and bricks it’s made from physically. It’s the feeling you get when you step through that front door, the warmth that comforts you after settling in from a long day or the space you need to be safe at home during uncertain times. These intangibles that come from your home can’t be found on paper or through searching online, you can only get these perspectives from stepping foot in the front door. I am here to help you make that first step! Whether this is your first or tenth home, each time is special and unique for you and your current life stage.
I have purchased homes during market downtimes and dealt with bank owned foreclosed properties, fought for purchases when competition was high, used 1031 exchanges to buy and sell investment properties as well as bought and sold properties traditionally. My understanding from my personal experiences provides me the empathy needed to help you through each stage of the home buying and selling process.
Prior to entering the real estate industry, I was Director of Marketing for over 12 years with a focus on branding, advertising and sales marketing. Understanding my clients and their unique needs, made my passion for customizing the sales approach my main priority and drove my client’s success. Each home is unique and requires the same level of dedication as any other product being sold, which is where my expertise will shine.
I look forward to being your trusted advisor and partner as we navigate your real estate journey. Let's get in touch and get started on your next stage in life!
Testimonials
"Lesley was wonderful to work with. She was very prompt in any call, text or email. Very professional and helpful. She made our experience go very smoothly."
-Laura R., Client
"We worked with Lesley over a few months to find the right home for our daughter while she will be attending USC. Since we live about an hour and a half away, she did lots of virtual tours for us. We also drove to Columbia on multiple occasions and walked through many houses with us. She was wonderful with our 18 year old daughter as we went through many homes and offered great advice. My husband and I are considering having rental property in Columbia and we will definitely be using Lesley for all of that. Thank you so much, Lesley! We would highly recommend you!"
-Dena T., Client
"Lesley was always available. She understood my needs and found me a home in the neighborhood I wanted. The market was very frustrating but working with Lesley made it so much more pleasant. She was also helpful in giving me local information as I was new to SC."
-Deadra M., Client
"Lesley went out of her way to handle many details that would normally be the responsibility of the seller. She made sure that our property was put forward in the best possible way. We have sold at least eight properties, and I would say that Lesley was the best agent we have ever had."
-Richard F., Client
Coldwell Banker Realty
As an agent who's an expert in this local area, I bring a wealth of knowledge and expertise about buying and selling real estate here. It's not the same everywhere, so you need someone you can trust for up-to-date information. I am eager to serve you. Here are some of the things I can do for you:
Find Your Next Home
You need someone who knows this area inside and out! I can work
with you to find the right home at the right price for you, including all the neighborhood amenities that
matter - not to mention the essential criteria you have for your ideal home
Sell a Home
When it's time to move, you need someone who will advertise your home,
show to prospective buyers, negotiate the purchase contract, arrange financing, oversee the inspections, handle
all necessary paperwork and supervise the closing. I can take care of everything you need, from start to close.
Consult on Home Selling Tactics
Oftentimes buyers don't visualize living in your home
the way you do. I can make your home attractive to its ideal audience - which can help you get top dollar.
Things like staging the home, making repairs or minor improvements, or even simply painting the walls can be
the difference between a home resting on the market and one that's sold fast.
