Love Where You Live.... Let Leslie find you a home!

"

After living in Texas most of our lives, we decided in April 2021 to

move to Crawfordsville to be close to our grandchildren. Leslie was

recommended to us, and that was the beginning of our good fortune. We

began looking at big old houses near downtown and Wabash College. Leslie

responded to every eager call, showed us houses, pointed out the

positive elements and cautioned us about the signs of deterioration. We

picked one house that needed lots of work, but our offer was declined

(thank goodness).



Our search narrowed to a single choice when the grey house on the

corner, two doors down from the grandchildren (and their parents, too),

came onto the market. Within an hour of getting this news, we were in

the car heading back to Crawfordsville. Leslie and our son Vic viewed

the property that morning and called us with details and iPhone photos.

It’s a ten hour drive from Denton to Crawfordsville; about halfway

through the trip, we did something I never thought we’d do -- we made an

offer on the house ($10K over the asking price) before ever stepping

inside. We arrived that night and talked more with our son and Leslie.



The owner had decided to allow two more days for offers before

responding, time for us to stew and fret. The prospect of having 6 and 8

year old granddaughters so close by was spellbinding, and we knew by

then from our continuing talks with Leslie that our initial offer was

too low. We wanted to submit the winning bid without paying too much,

and we couldn’t see where that line might be. With Leslie’s depth of

knowledge of the local housing market and her astute understanding of

the buy/sell dynamic, she helped us adjust and refine our offer in more

ways than I’d considered before, not just the dollar amount. Leslie

turned in our re-calculated offer, the sellers reviewed ours and several

others, and when Leslie called with the results she told us “you’ve

bought a house!” In early June, we moved in.



It was a real joy to work with Leslie. We looked a lots of houses with

her; she’d smile, laugh, look us in the eye and tell us the truth. We

never once felt that she was feeding us what we might want to hear or

what might nudge us toward buying. She told us how the cow ate the

cabbage so we could make informed decisions. We might have bought a

leaky fixer-upper to be this close to our kids, but with Leslie’s

guidance and attention to detail we bought a really great home on an

acre and a half, and we see those little girls every day.



Not only is Leslie a tremendous realtor, she’s a remarkable person.

We’ve been three months in our new home now and expect to be here a long

time. But when the time comes to sell, the only name on our list of

realtors will be “Leslie.” She’s terrific.

Leslie has always gone above and beyond to not only do what is right,

but to make her potential buyer and seller feel comfortable with the

process, answer questions, walk them through the process from start to

finish, and is always honest in the what-ifs. Leslie works to be

available for her clients at all times and does a great job! We

wouldn’t go with anyone else. Leslie has helped us sell two homes and

buy one and she has been a great help to us in each process.
