Testimonials

Leslie went above and beyond in keeping communication with us throughout the entire process. It seemed you could send her an email at any time, day or night, and we'd get a response within an hour. We appreciated Leslie's patience, flexibility, and attention to detail.

I worked with Leslie before when we bought three other houses, so I know that she would do a good job when we sold this home. That is an understatement! From the day she was asked to take on the sale of our home, she became my greatest supporter and adviser. She worked more than 100% to get our house ready for market! She even helped me pack! She went through every step of the process by my side, explaining and advising along the way. She was very supportive and understanding of my needs. I would refer her to my family and friends without a doubt. And my family and friends have witnessed first hand her excellent work ethic, attention to detail and most of all-her caring nature that they would seek her out themselves.

Leslie, you are the best. It was very nice working with you.

Thank you for hanging in there with us all these years! You just kept the process going through life changes, direction changes, timing changes, you gave up weekends to house hunt-You were awesome! We're very grateful.

Leslie did such an excellent job.

[Your] artistic ability to present the house was magical. You have been such [a] great agent! The house sold so rapidly to nice people at a good price. Nothing could have been better! You are the best!

Leslie has sold a home and also has been the purchasing agent for my new condo in Seattle. In both instances I have found her to be very thorough and diligent. Her communication skills are excellent and she definitely goes the extra mile for her clients. I would recommend her without reservation.

This sale was a very positive experience. Thanks!

I cannot say enough positive statements about my interactions w/ Leslie and her work on my behalf. Anyone I know would be lucky to have Leslie as their partner/agent.

After 34 years of home ownership the prospect of bringing our home to the "market" was daunting to say the least. Our 118 year old "Craftsman" had been updated somewhat but still required improvements and expansion to bring it up to today's standards. We are immensely grateful to Leslie Foley and give her five stars for her realty savvy, knowledge, support and guidance throughout the project! Star number 1: About a year before we sold, I invited a realtor over to give us an initial appraisal of what needed to be done. He came highly recommended and had managed a very successful sale of our friend's home. As we toured the property he called out changes that may have been nice but didn't really reflect the updating of an older home and frankly, seemed to be way too much. Leslie's approach was much more thoughtful and in line with selling an older home. She focused more on the individual "spaces" it had to offer. Our basement was dry and "roughed in" for a living space and she commented on what needed and what did not need to be done. We really appreciated her approach. Star number 2: As I am in the trades and was doing most of the work myself, Leslie stopped by at least once a week and offered suggestions and encouragement. She was fond of saying don't give in to the "might as wells" (might as well tear out this wall or might as well put in a cabinet here). This could have been the road to perdition but she stopped us each and every time. When spousal viewpoints diverged, Leslie's interventions were gentle and always well received. Star number 3: Establishing a timeline for a homeowner is critical as well as knowing what to expect. Selling a property can be a very complicated process and having a professional review your schedule really helped. She let us know far in advance of deadlines we'd have to meet prior to making the listing active. Star number 4: Communication. There was never a time when we couldn't reach Leslie. In fact, I can't think of a message or call that she didn't respond to the same day even when we indicated that the question wasn't urgent and this went on for the better part of a year. Her professionalism when dealing with referrals, subcontractors and other brokers was incredible. Star number 5: For the week the listing was active, Leslie was over every evening and most mornings to be sure everything was in place and that nothing went missing. One of the last appointments actually left the door open so this was no small thing. She kept track of everything for us. Star number 6: (I know, five stars, but this is OUR review so there) What realtor do you know helps you paint a kitchen? Seriously, I was blown away and at the time we really needed the help. When we buy our next home, Leslie Foley will be our agent!

From the bottom of our hearts we couldn't have been happier. Leslie was amazing. We have never had such great service before. We have been looking for a new house for about three years and tried all kinds of other realtors. We definitely got lucky when we met Leslie. Thank you so much!

Leslie is an absolute GEM! She was so very patient with us during the FOUR years (almost 4) that we've been looking. She was instrumental in the sale of out townhome and then our new home purchase! We can't say enough wonderful things about her! We have been constantly recommending her to an anyone needing/wanting a Realtor and one of our friends actually did sell/buy with her. They love her as well! Thank you Leslie for all your help and patience!

Leslie was fantastic for us as first time home buyers. Helpful and nice, great communication. Thanks!

Leslie, you are the best!

Leslie went beyond expectations! She was knowledgeable and informative. We have bought three houses with Leslie and every time she provided excellent service. We will definitely work with her again!

Leslie has been a very good real estate agent-- helped us understand a lot of things on home buying and assist us throughout the whole process. Keep up the good work!

Love that you have the kitchen/bath/design experience/sense/eye to help see through the "diamonds in the rough" homes on the market.

Leslie, just wanted to thank you for a great escrow! I love your professionalism and work ethic. I hope to work with you again very soon.

We loved working with Leslie! The Seattle housing market is not for the feint of heart and Leslie made it as painless as possible. We miss seeing her on a regular basis! Please don't hesitate to use us as a reference!

The process with which this transaction was completed, was due in no small part to the quality of service and representation that you received from your agent, Leslie Foley. I am sure you would agree with me that she served you exceptionally well. Remember that the highest compliment you can pay Leslie is to tell your friends and acquaintances about your experience with her. By extending the courtesy of a referral, you will be doing your friends a great service.

Leslie is the best person you could possibly have helping you sell your house. She works tirelessly and goes above and beyond what she needs to do. She is fantastic to work with and her ideas and sense of styling are impeccable. You definitely get your bang for the buck when working with Leslie. I am so glad I had her as my realtor. I couldn’t imagine anyone else doing what she did to improve the salability of my house. If you are looking for a realtor look no further she is fabulous.

What a fortunate chance meeting at that open house last summer! Thanks for your attention over the months. I really appreciate your diligence and professional skills.

Leslie has been very patient and WONDERFUL throughout our close to 3 years of working with her! We love her so much that we've recommended her to anyone who is looking for a realtor. Love her and have nothing but wonderful things to say about her and her work. She's not only great at understanding our needs and explaining everything we need to know, she is also so put together in getting the paperwork through. Couldn't have done it without her!

Les is the best! Positive, energetic, knowledgeable. Great realtor who always handled any issue or concern before it manifested into anything larger. So appreciate what she did for me!

Leslie was absolutely fantastic- from beginning to end, she made the whole process easy.

Leslie was like a member of our family during our recent home search and buying process. She was prepared to assist us through what could have been a lengthy process. However, her expertise and strategies led to a quick end to our home search after we soon won a bid. Through it all, Leslie was courteous, a good listener, and professional. She supplied us with vital expertise and contacts – before, during, and after our purchase. We came away from the experience understanding how important it is to have an agent of Leslie’s caliber and expertise. We would highly recommend her to any homebuyer.

Outstanding job helping us get a home in Seattle! Thanks for your patience and the help getting all the paperwork complete. Your knowledge and expertise were so helpful. Thanks for our great new home

Thanks for all your amazing hard work on both our sale and purchase! We really appreciated all the extra effort.

This was the easiest and most pleasant real estate experience I've had. Leslie was a pleasure to work with and I would refer Leslie as well as use her again! Thank you so much for you guidance & expertise.

Couldn't thank Leslie enough for her professional guidance- extremely thorough and she catered to every need. We can't imagine a better realtor! We highly recommend Leslie!

Very professional listing agent. She helped us sell our house in Seattle, was great in listening to what we wanted to do and giving us options to complete the sale.

Recently my wife and I bought and sold homes partnering with Leslie Foley from Lake & Co. She was exceptional. We met her 'pre-pandemic', when we were not very serious about purchasing a home. She shared her business card and we traded information. I assumed it was a formality that we wouldn't hear from her again. I was wrong! She started sending us listings with just the right amount of tenacity (i.e., not pushy, very helpful). We went dark during the pandemic, but when we got serious about house hunting, we actually reached out to a couple of other agents. They weren't great which led my wife to say, "We need someone like Leslie" (which of course catalyzed the thought - duh, we should reengage with her - which we did). She dove in with expertise, amazing customer service, and grit. She was patient, communicated effectively, listened and helped narrow the search. During both the buy and sell process she was a pro - helping us navigate negotiations, escrow, etc. in ways we couldn't have done without her. She became more than an agent - she became a friend. Even now, a month after we've closed (and still unpacking) she's offering support. We don't feel like we've lost her as an agent despite my awareness that she could have easily shaken hands and walked away. If and when we purchase another home someday, she will be the only choice for us. Please recognize her great work and know that she inspired us to advocate for Lake and Company as a partner to our friends and family.
