“I know how difficult it is to prepare and sell a home from a distance and I want to let you know that your neighbor, Leslie Dickinson, is a fantastic real estate agent specializing in the sales of high-end homes. We live in Palo Alto and she helped us prepare and sell our house in Seattle. She really did an outstanding job. Our house had been rented out so she helped get it cleaned, painted, arranged for minor repairs, refreshed our landscaping, staged, and photographed all within a few weeks. Our home sold in seven days from listing with multiple offers and I can’t tell you how pleased I was with Leslie’s service and professionalism. I really recommend that you consider using her as your listing agent. ”
“I am a developer who has been building in Seattle for over 20 years and has worked with scores of brokers. Most of them talk endlessly about marketing. What I have found is that most brokers say the buzzwords, but do not really understand what those words mean. In 2020, as I was completing a luxury view home in Leschi, I lost faith in my original broker. Leslie had done an excellent job representing dear friends in the area so I interviewed her. She made a compelling case by laying out a focused marketing plan with targeted positioning and maximum market exposure. She had a detailed schedule using an A-Team of professionals and consultants. For me, Sotheby’s branding and international exposure were a definite plus. After I gave her the job, Leslie’s follow-through in executing her plan was rapid and impressive. She kept in touch consistently so I did not ever wonder what was going on. And after the marketing package brought us several willing buyers, she demonstrated that she is a shrewd yet professional negotiator. The house was sold with multiple offers at a record price for the area. For these reasons and more, I would recommend Leslie without reservation to others seeking representation for their property. I look forward to working with her in the future.”
“Leslie led a team of professionals to ensure our home received international exposure during a very unique market. She choreographed every step of our move while we were in California, plus home repairs, staging, photography + film to ensure our online presence was enticing enough for qualified buyers to visit our home in person. She was the key player in getting our home sold + I strongly recommend Leslie for your real estate needs.”
“We have been working with Leslie Dickinson as our real estate agent and are continually impressed with her work ethic, negotiating street smarts, and savvy tastes as our buyer’s agent. As a result of being a great listener and paying close attention to her client’s needs, Leslie has highly developed filters for what might resonate with us vs. what isn’t worth wasting time on. As the CEO of one of the biggest public sites on the internet, I especially value her ability to negotiate on our behalf, while carefully and tactfully maintaining our privacy with the selling party in a way that helps us to not lose leverage. Leslie works tirelessly, and always ‘over delivers’ with robust information about a property, it’s listing history, and potential for resale. She also gets high marks from us with regard to her open communication and ability to be in constant touch. Her ability to be highly responsive during tough periods of negotiation and counteroffering is also most impressive and has made the difference between getting the deal done vs. losing it. I want to make specific mention of Leslie’s integrity. She is someone whom we’ve trusted (and continue to trust) with highly confidential information. We have been highly impressed with her conduct and professionalism with regards to other outside parties. Lastly, I would be remiss if i didn’t mention that on a personal level Leslie is an absolute delight to work with. Her sense of humor, joie de vivre, and optimism are infectious, and for those things and the above, we value her tremendously.”
“Leslie is personable, knowledgeable and competent - understanding both the market and seller’s perspectives. As a client, we felt respected and valued, informed and updated on almost a daily basis. Leslie is thorough and conscientious, making sure that from start to finish, our best interests were a priority. Leslie goes the extra mile to make sure that in the end you are completely satisfied with the outcome. Consider Leslie as your agent of choice to buy or sell your home. We would use her again for any purchases or sales. ”
“We could not be more thrilled with Leslie’s tenacity and savvy negotiation tactics. I strongly recommend her to buyers and sellers working in luxury real estate.”
“As our family Realtor, Leslie has provided invaluable guidance to our entire family. We trust her knowledge of the real estate market and rely on her professional expertise to close often very competitive transactions. Leslie is our valuable advantage in this challenging real estate market! She has worked tirelessly to help us each find and acquire the right home.”
“Leslie was hands-on and superior customer service from the minute I met her. I was extremely pleased with her persistence, personality and abilities. Great Job! Above and beyond the call of duty.”
“We have worked with Leslie twice over the last few years to both buy and sell our home and wouldn’t think of using anyone else if we come to do it again. As sellers, we needed the same experience so we turned again to Leslie and could not have been happier. Her knowledge of the market and perfectly executed strategy ensured we were able to extract maximum value from our house. Her guidance and insight throughout made the process simpler and less stressful for all. As both a buyer and seller, we have been blown away by Leslie’s, services. There is no better agent in the region. And above all, we got a good friend out of the process.”
“Leslie found our current home and sold our previous home and we couldn’t be happier. She kept us in the loop on upcoming listings that fit our specifics and in the end found us our dream home before it was on the market. She also was amazing in getting us ready to sell our previous home and was fantastic in helping us through the paperwork and all the details of getting ready to sell. She has got a great beat on what is out on the market as well as what is coming up. We’d definitely work with her again and have already recommended her to our friends.”
“My hope was to find a good fit with a real estate agent who would help me with the enormous decision of buying a home. Now that I have completed my home purchase with Leslie helping me on a daily basis for weeks through the search, offer, counteroffer, negotiations that follow and the mortgage process I know that she has the “right stuff”. If you are looking for an expert,
dedicated, highly available, caring person who will strive to know and understand your needs in a home, you can do no better than to work
with Leslie as your advocate. Would I recommend Leslie to a prospective client? Does she get results? Does she care about her clients? Yes, yes, and YES! I wish you the best of luck in your property search and I hope things turn out as well for you as they did for me.”
“Leslie did a terrific job. Her strategic guidance was excellent, she worked hard, and was very effective in achieving a prompt sale to a good buyer at a great price. All that, and a pleasure to work with too!”
