Vandita Pateriya

Leslie is an extraordinary realtor who deserves every accolade. Her patience during our 1.5-year search was commendable; she never pressured us, ensuring we found our perfect home. Her professional attitude and wealth of knowledge, accumulated over 20+ years in the industry, were evident in every interaction. Leslie didn't just sell us a house; she guided us through the entire process, educating us and making it remarkably simple. She provided references for all house-related services, from inspections to contractors, streamlining our experience. Leslie's customer focus was unparalleled; she answered every question and addressed every concern promptly and thoroughly. Her diligence and reliability were constants, making us feel secure in our decisions. Working with Leslie was not just a business transaction, but a genuine pleasure. We wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone seeking a top-tier realtor. She is, without a doubt, the best in the business.

With our parents’ passing, we were faced with having to sell their Lake Bluff home. They had purchased it in 1976, and our ties to the house, the neighborhood, and community still ran deep. For us, it was far more than simply selling a house. How lucky we were to have Leslie Gleason guide us through it all. Leslie worked with us to understand our timing and financial goals, and coupled with her 20+ years of market experience, provided us with an invaluable marketing plan. You would think that having three clients selling one property would be challenging, but Leslie always found a way to work around our crazy schedules, whether in person or on the phone. She gave us clear directions when it came to cleaning out the house, making the appropriate improvements, staging to accent the home’s appeal, and creating goals in order to help us meet our deadlines. Mom and Dad’s home and its thoughtful care was Leslie’s focus throughout the entire process, and she represented us with professionalism, dependability and understanding. (We marveled at her ability to recall the smallest details and to provide answers to questions we had forgotten asking!) Most importantly, Leslie understood the sale’s emotional impact on the three of us. She laughed at our stories and encouraged us when the reality of what we were doing was just a little too much. Leslie helped us to keep things in perspective, and ultimately, it was her positive, thoughtful support that saw us through. In the end, we sold our home at the price we wanted, in the timeframe we wanted, to a family who appreciates it for all it is. We also have gained a friend, and we know that Mom and Dad would have been thrilled with how Leslie honestly cared for our home and for us. We cannot recommend her enough.

I can't rave enough about Leslie!

After a seemingly endless 5-year quest for the perfect home and dealing with three different realtors who just didn't cut it, Leslie was a breath of fresh air.

Her communication skills are on point - always responsive, answering my questions promptly, and making me feel like a priority. No more radio silence or frustrating waiting games.

Leslie's professionalism is top-notch. It's clear she's not just in it for the sale but genuinely cares about finding the right fit. She took the time to understand my families needs and preferences, making the entire home-buying process smoother than I could have imagined.

Exceptional Realtor...I have had the pleasure of working with Leslie Gleason on two different property transactions. I could not have been happier with the experience. From start to finish Leslie, demonstrated unparalleled professionalism, expertise, and dedication. She took her time to truly understand our family needs in helping us find a home during the pandemic and beyond. She ensured that every property we viewed aligned with what we were looking for. Her extensive knowledge of the market and eye for detail helped us find the perfect home during stressful times of low inventory and war sales. She's an excellent communicator and has outstanding responsiveness. I always felt supported and confident throughout the entire journey of buying and selling our home. This is all due to her genuine care for her clients. I can't say enough about Leslie as a Realtor in the NorthShore!

I have worked with Leslie on several occasions, both in the purchase of homes, and in finding tenants for a rental property. I can only say good things about Leslie. She is knowledgable, dedicated to doing the best job possible for her clients, and totally dependable. She is also extremely patient. On our most recent project together we significantly shifted our desired location, which effectively meant we re-started our search. She did not show any frustration and continued to help us in every way possible. I highly recommend Leslie for all of your real estate needs.
