About Leslie

It's no surprise that I love helping my clients buy and sell real estate. After all, real estate is in my DNA. Growing up, both parents were in the building and real estate industries. My father encouraged me to get my real estate license as a teenager so I could have a career when I graduated from UCLA, where I studied business and design. I started selling real estate in the competitive and rewarding Santa Barbara, CA market. Once I fulfilled my clients' residential needs, I helped them secure profitable investment properties. Later I partnered with my mother to start our own brokerage firm, and I also became a licensed painting contractor and supervised crews to remodel and update residential and investment properties. I love tackling the many steps required to prepare a property for sale. The process might begin months before the property hits the market. My design skills are helpful in creating a low yet impactful budget for updating, staging and showcasing each property, and my clients are pleased how this thorough preparation results in achieving the highest sale price quickly. Since entering the Austin market, I have had the pleasure of helping clients with a diverse group of properties ranging from small condos to large luxury homes to investment properties. Whether they are pursuing a purchase or sale, I love anticipating the needs of my clients as I help them navigate the real estate process. Married for 31 years and having raised four children, I treat my clients as I would my family: with enthusiasm, clear communication, and customized attention - all leading to a smooth transaction with the best results for everyone involved.
