Leslie was born and raised in Fergus Falls, spending her summers at Pickerel Lake in Otter Tail County. Most of her large extended family lives in Fergus Falls and her ties to this amazing community run deep. Within her first year of real estate career, Leslie hit her goal of being a million-dollar producer and by her tenth year her sales hit over the 14 million mark! She attributes her quick ascent to becoming a top producer in the area to an old-fashioned worth ethic instilled in her by her grandmothers at a very early age. Leslie is fiercely loyal to her clients, working tirelessly to ensure the most positive outcome. One of her clients stated it perfectly, “You are a real estate agent that cares; you take care of people, you're not out simply for the dollar." In fact, Leslie is particularly focused on helping those that need a little extra assistance, with a wealth of experience handling real estate with divorces and estates. When listing a home, effective marketing is crucial, and Leslie's social media marketing is unique and brings results. She is a firm believer in presenting an unforgettable first impression. With 98% of people taking their first view of a home on the internet, professional staging, photography and videography are key components of Leslie's listing package. When working for a buyer, she is thrilled knowing she has helped the client find just the right house to become their home—in fact, she thrives on the challenge of getting the “ungettable” for her clients. A former client says, “Leslie went way beyond the second mile to sell our home in a difficult market and we were able to realize a lifetime dream of buying a home on the water.” Gregarious by nature, Leslie really enjoys networking and is very involved in her community. A self-confessed “committee nerd” Leslie volunteers on various local community, industry and state level boards, such as the Minnesota Association of Realtors Ethics & Professional Standards Committee. Leslie is the recipient of numerous real estate awards for her outstanding service and sales record.
