Lesley: Turning Homebuying Visions into Reality Finding the right fixer-upper as an interior designer means looking for a unique potential that others might overlook. For three years, I hit wall after wall, with more than ten offers on different properties falling through. I was about to give up, but then a family friend suggested I contact Lesley. That's when things started to change. The property in Indiana I initially wanted was already taken, but Lesley didn't miss a beat. She found another property, a real fixer-upper on a lake, not too far from Chicago. It wasn't just any place; it had the kind of potential I'd been searching for—a real chance to transform a space. The journey from making our offer to getting the keys was anything but simple. We ran into several issues, but Lesley handled each one, dealing with city officials and the seller's realtor effectively. When the appraisal…

When the appraisal came back less than ideal, she was right there, renegotiating to make sure we still got a fair deal. What made Lesley stand out was her willingness to understand this wasn't just a purchase—it was the start of a significant project. She got that it was more than a transaction; it was about realizing a creative vision. We weren't just clients; we were partners in this process. For anyone with a creative eye looking for a property with potential, I can't recommend Lesley enough. Her combination of understanding, market knowledge, and dedication is rare. She's not just a realtor; she's someone who understands and supports your creative aspirations. With Lesley, you're not just buying a property; you're starting a journey to bring your vision to life.

Lesley helped us purchase our first home. Since we never had a real estate agent before, we weren't sure what to expect but now see that if it wasn't for Lesley our search would not have been as smooth and easy. One of the main reasons for this is how knowledgeable and resourceful Lesley is. She has a contact for any need and many years of knowledge in the real estate industry which she uses in the best interest of her clients. Aside from being very talented in her field, what we appreciated her even more for was how patient and understanding she was. As our idea of a home changed over time she made sure to do regular checks in and followed up on every showing to understand what we needed. Definitely will be working with her in the future and highly recommend her to others!
