Leslie Emery is hands down a 5/5 when it comes to west coast real estate! My wife and I met Leslie through a listing she had in Saddle Creek. Although the listing she had did not fit our family, she on the other hand did. Unlike other agents we have experienced in the past, Leslie was not pushy and did not oversell her listing. This attracted us to her and made us feel like she genuinely had interest in our desires and wanted to help us find our dream property despite our circumstances. (We were in the process of listing two large parcels of land inland when we originally met her.) We had a vision and timeline and Leslie respected both! Per our request, she met us at another property in Saddle Creek we discovered online, and we sat down with her and discussed a strategy to purchase it. In that moment, Leslie gave us great market perspective and helped us come up with a reasonable offer. We submitted our offer and went through a period of negotiation before reaching an agreement. She helped our family negotiate over 20k off the selling price and ensured that we received a proper inspection. (Sellers disclosures are not always full disclosures as we found out in this process!) Leslie also set us up with Gris Bettle at MSC who took great care of us on the financial side. Leslie and Gris were a great team and made my wife and I feel comfortable throughout a stressful 60 day period. I will do business with MSC in the future because I trust their process and believe their staff seek to do what is best for their clients.
I would highly recommend Leslie Emery to anyone! She helped my husband and I find our dream home for our kids, dogs and horses. She has expert knowledge on horse properties, which helped us tremendously since this was our first horse property. I am especially thankful for her knowledge and honesty which kept us from making a horrible mistake with a house and property which was so wrong for our horses but we had no idea since we so new to this. When I still go past that house and property, I can't help but breath a sigh of relief that Leslie was there to stop us from buying it. Then I drive into my house that Leslie found for us and again, I can't thank her enough because I own my dream home and horse property because of her.
When it comes to buying houses in my opinion it ranks right up there with buying a car, it can be very frustrating. This should never be the case, purchasing a home should be a happy time in your life not a challenge. We worked with Leslie for over a year to locate the home we truly wanted to relocate too and Leslie worked extremely hard the entire time to find that special place. I must say I have never worked with an agent so dedicated to serving their customer and ensuring the best outcome for there future home. If you are looking for a home to spend the next couple years or the rest of your life, trust that Leslie will be there for you to support you through the entire process. My wife and I will be forever grateful to Leslie for her hard work and dedication, thank you so much.
Aaron has been hands on and super responsive from start to finish and beyond as my husband and I found, purchased, and got settled into our wonderful new home. He and his partner, Leslie Emery, and the entire Michael Saunders team are total professionals and great to work with.
Frustrated? Discouraged? Call Leslie.... no kidding we had our house listed by ourselves, I even obtained a real estate license and tried that. Then another very competent realtor. We got very little activity. Our house was specialized, unique, not for everyone. Leslie took very personal interest in the marketing plan and found a qualified buyer. As you probably know that is just the beginning in todays R E market. Now Leslie's talents really come to the fore. Thru all the twists and turns of inspections, appraisal she hung in there to see the sale to its end. This is the true worth of a real estate agent! She provided sage advise, even steered me back on course when my frustrations reach the limit. If you don't at least interview Leslie before selling... or buying for that matter you are making a mistake.
We can't say enough about our experience with Leslie. Leslie's commitment and enthusiasm are over the top. We like to look at a wide variety of properties and Leslie showed us them all for...get this...over a year! Always smiling, always optimistic, always willing to do the extra things that made a real difference in customer service. We've bought vacant land with Leslie's help and we were very happy to recently buy a home with her help, and she remained responsive, professional and helpful through the process and after the closing of the home. Leslie is the best.
Leslie worked with me for months to find the perfect property. I found exactly what I wanted at a great price. I would highly recommend Leslie because she goes the extra mile, has extensive resources and knowledge. Plus, she has a great sense of humor, and made it fun.
Aaron is absolutely amazing. He helped us find our dream home quickly. He always treated us like family. He took the time to listen to what we wanted and needed and exceeded our expectations in finding us the perfect home. He always answered our questions quickly. If he didn’t know the answer, he would find someone who did. He always had our best interests in mind and we could not be more thankful. He even helped out with our daughters, who adore him, because we didn’t have child care during the process. He is patient and kind. We would HIGHLY recommend him!
5 stars - Aaron and Leslie did an amazing job selling my home. They received multiple offers before the sign was ever installed in the yard. I would highly recommend this dynamic team!
We recently sold our family home in Sarasota, Florida, with the professional assistance of Leslie Emery and Aaron Corr. We currently live in Perth, Western Australia, so the sale of our home involved many unique challenges due to the 13-hour time difference between our current home and Sarasota, and the fact that it was not physically possible for us to return to the U.S. at any time during this process. At the start of the process, we relied heavily on Leslie and Aaron to manage the preparation of our home for sale, and no job was too big or too complicated for them. The duo managed all logistics related to scheduling and coordinating access to our home for contractors and a variety of service/repair professionals, in addition to frequently providing us with recommendations for reputable, reliable contractors and industry professionals. We could not have managed this process without Leslie and Aaron, in whom we placed a great deal of trust. Leslie and Aaron made themselves available to us whenever it was requested, regardless of whether it was late at night or well before the start of a traditional work day. They provided us with ongoing market intelligence and remotely ‘held our hands’ as we worked our way through the offer process and prepared for the sale to close. We cannot thank them enough for their professionalism, industry expertise and attention to detail. Selling our family home was a very emotional decision for us – Leslie and Aaron absolutely understood this and did everything in their power to make the process as smooth and easy as possible. We would not hesitate to recommend them to a friend, and would happily work with them again, should the opportunity present itself. Thank you again!
