We cannot recommend her highly enough. She is everything you could hope for in a realtor.

"When we first met Leslie Dembinski, it was by chance at an open house where she was the showing agent. We loved the place but didn't have an agent of our own, so she offered to act as our agent when we expressed interest. Immediately, we realized how fortunate we were to have crossed paths with her. The open house was a Saturday afternoon when we met her, we expressed interest in buying on Sunday morning, and by Monday morning she found us a local lender (on a Sunday) and got everything ready for an offer, which was accepted (to our surprise!). Leslie was unwaveringly committed to protecting our interests, extremely responsive to developments, transparent at every stage, and gave us the sense that someone deeply knowledgeable and trustworthy was in our corner. She laid out all the options and implications clearly, gave us her opinions and reasons, but never pushed us towards deciding one way or another. One of the things that impressed us most was Leslie’s deep expertise and strong network. She knows the housing market in this area inside and out, but her support didn’t stop there. She connected us with a lender that suited our particular financial situation. Leslie tapped into her big network to get us some market intelligence, which was helpful and reassuring when we had to make big and often quick decisions. We also went through unexpected challenges along the way, including a layoff in the middle of our purchase. This was a stressful and uncertain time, but Leslie never wavered. She was incredibly supportive and optimistic throughout. Her calm, steady guidance gave us confidence, and she made sure the deal still went through successfully. It’s not an exaggeration to say that without Leslie, we would not be in our home today. When selling our prior place, we had to list our condo during a historic market downturn. Despite the difficult timing, Leslie helped us maintain momentum, with creative solutions to drive interest to make sure our condo sold. Thanks to her persistence and know-how, we got a successful outcome in a market where many struggled. Beyond her skill and determination, Leslie is simply a joy to work with. She is warm, approachable, and kind and genuinely cares for her clients. It never felt like we were just another transaction—she truly listened, understood what mattered to us, and acted as a partner in the process. It made the buying and selling processes much less stressful than it might have been otherwise, and we always felt that we were in the best pair of hands. She went above and beyond time and again. We cannot recommend her highly enough. She is everything you could hope for in a realtor: knowledgeable, resourceful, professional, and endlessly supportive but also honest and able to balance optimism and realism. Thanks to her, we are happily settled in our new home, and we will always be grateful for her guidance through every twist and turn of the processes."
