Leslie went over and above with my purchase of a new condo. The seller presented quite a challenge and made the purchase very difficult. I have never worked with a Realtor who was so patient, persistent and kind. She is an excellent negotiator and trustworthy Realtor. She has integrity, which really counts when it comes to a major purchase.
