“The sale of the house in Chicago is done, and after almost 20 years of ‘battle’, my ‘husband’ (the man I chose to get married to) expressed his appreciation today for a transaction that he is ‘comfortable/happy’ with. Even though I invested my most precious years into getting this burden off my chest, the appreciation goes to you, Leslie from your network who caused the transaction to go through and be final. Thank you.”

“I am so grateful for all of the support I received from Leslie during my home selling process. Leslie’s calm and supportive presence made it much easier for me to survive the many delays that were out of my control. I am so grateful for your professional recommendations, support and especially her understanding and acknowledgment of my time and energy that was involved with my facilitating all of the repairs, cleaning, packing, purging, etc. Selling a home during divorce is emotionally difficult but having a specialist in divorce real estate made the process much easier. I highly recommend Leslie and her team!!!”

“My experience with Leslie and Ali was absolutely outstanding! They truly served as a calm in the middle of a storm. Leslie understands the stress that comes along with the divorce/home selling process as she has lived it, and helps both parties navigate the entire journey. The minute they walked through the door, Leslie and Ali provided guidance in terms of preparing the home for sale. The light Leslie and Ali brought helped guide me through a dark and difficult moment In my life. I recommend them to any couple going through a divorce.”

“As a family law attorney, I see so many clients go through the emotional toll when selling the family home. Recently Leslie assisted my client with the sale of the marital home against the backdrop of a highly charged pending divorce matter. Leslie approached the transaction with grace, respect, and most of all kindness to her clients. She provided stellar and compassionate service, while maintaining trust and efficiency for all involved. Leslie was instrumental in helping my client move forward both financially and emotionally. I highly recommend her!”
