"Leigh was a pleasure to have as our real estate agent.
After showing us a few listings and seeing our existing home, she helped us to see the pros and cons of the listings that we were considering and to make sure it was a good fit for us. Leigh was readily available to show our listing to prospective buyers and helped us to sell our home quickly. Leigh was always available to answer any questions that we had and always responded promptly.

"Leigh worked incredibly hard to prepare and improve the condo for sale and went far beyond what is industry standard for customer service. I am extremely happy that Leigh was my realtor and I highly recommend her to others!" - Mark

★★★★★
"We both truly appreciated your knowledge and your honesty! Our new condo suits us well-John has the lake view he wanted and I have the western sunsets I wanted. We are very pleased and know the condo will work out well for us. Many thanks" - John and Dr. Nancy

"From the moment we first talked, I was confident in her ability to get us where we needed to be in such a tight time frame. Leigh was responsive, helpful, knowledgeable, able to anticipate our needs, and located many properties that had everything we wanted. During our search, she would send us listings almost daily and made sure we always knew where we stood for each property we were interested in. On top of that, she would forfeit personal time at a moment's notice the minute a property became available that we were interested in and available to view. As promised, Leigh got us into our dream home in Chicago in the time frame we needed, within our budget, and in the perfect neighborhood! We couldn't be more pleased with our experience working with Leigh and now consider her a friend! When it's time for us to start looking to move again, Leigh will be who we call. Since we moved, I've referred several friends to her who are equally as pleased and would report the same about how amazing she is to work with. We're very satisfied clients!" - Josh & Aaron

"My first email to Leigh was on a Sunday, late afternoon. I had a reply within the hour, followed by an exchange of emails that lasted for a little while…again, on a Sunday afternoon/evening. Leigh was so easy to work with. She listens and never once did she try to talk us into anything. I have a very hectic work schedule, which allowed pretty limited availability to go see properties. Leigh never said no to a requested time to go see a property. She really went above and beyond to get appointments made for us, sometimes pretty last minute. After all of those great things, Leigh wasn’t finished yet. We had a week out of town, which just happened to fall the day after we found the apartment we wanted. Leigh took the pre move in funds to the property management company for us since we were out of town and wouldn’t be able to do it ourselves. She was there to answer questions during the lease signing and brought up a few points that I hadn’t thought about. She was definitely our advocate and working for us. We simply can’t say enough good things about Leigh. It was great to work with her, and we wouldn’t hesitate to do so again." - Shane and Chris

About Leigh
Leigh has worked in residential real estate as a Realtor® for over 22 years with buyers and sellers throughout the city. She has helped several renters who wanted a chance to explore Chicago's fantastic neighborhoods before purchasing a property. Leigh works primarily in the city but will happily show/sell properties in the suburbs.

Leigh's personal philosophy about owning a home, or renting a home before purchasing is that purchasing a home is one of the biggest financial investments and emotional decisions a person can make. She will be right there to help manage your transaction from beginning to end for a positive and stress-free experience. She works with great lenders and real estate attorneys and is happy to offer those referrals to her clients.

Every client is different and Leigh is confident with attention to her client's home criteria/needs, attention to detail, and monitoring all aspects of the real estate transaction and hard work, she can find her clients' dream home.

Leigh has had the pleasure of working with many of her clients a second or even a third time around in their real estate search. The greatest compliment she receives is when current/past clients refer her to their family, friends, or co-workers.

Leigh has been a Chicago area native and grew up in the south suburbs and has lived downtown since 1998. She appreciates the many activities Chicago living offers people; various museums, parks to explore, restaurants to visit, neighborhood festivals to attend throughout the year, sporting events to cheer Chicago teams on to victory, and the lovely lakefront to relax in the sun, hop on a boat or play beach volleyball. Leigh recently moved to Northbrook, IL. about 25 miles north of Chicago. She still primarily works in the city and will help clients rent, purchase or sell a property anywhere in Chicagoland!
