Hey there, I’m Leslie
Real estate isn’t just a passion for me — it’s a lifelong commitment and part of who I am. After graduating from Arizona State University in 2005, I earned my real estate license and launched my career in commercial real estate at CB Richard Ellis, where I worked with over 200 clients and negotiated more than 1,000 transactions. I also began personally investing in real estate in which my real estate legacy began. In 2016, I relocated to Hickory, NC with my soon-to-be husband and transitioned into residential real estate. Since then, I’ve sold hundreds of homes and built a strong presence in the North Carolina market. While much of my business is concentrated in Catawba County, my deep knowledge extends across the valley, including Caldwell, Burke, and Iredell Counties. With roots in the industry and years of hands-on experience, I bring more than enthusiasm to every transaction—I bring knowledge, strategy, and results.
my life motto
Be authentic, treat people with kindness,
and never give up.
Have fun along the way. Life is to be enjoyed!
“THE BEST I’VE EVER WORKED WITH!”
I have bought and sold multiple homes in the past and Leslie, BY FAR, was the best real estate professional I have ever worked with. She is so knowledgeable, responsive and advocates diligently for her clients. There were so many times throughout this most recent transaction which I verbally stated how thankful I was to be working with Leslie. I cannot begin to recommend her enough. She is absolutely top notch.

I’m not one to brag... but if there’s one thing I really shine at, it’s negotiation. Growing up in a real estate family, I’ve been around deals and discussions since I was a kid—and I’ve taken that foundation to the next level with tons of training, courses, and coaching. I even earned my “Master Certified Negotiation Expert” designation (yep, that’s a thing!) and joined the Black Swan Group, where I’ve learned high-level negotiation strategies straight from an FBI hostage negotiator. Pretty cool, right?
To me, negotiation isn’t about being pushy—it’s about clear, purposeful communication and finding a way for everyone to walk away feeling like they’ve won. I truly believe it’s one of the most important skills a Realtor can have, and I bring it to every deal I do.
Life, Family & Real Estate – It’s All Connected
First and foremost, I’m a proud mom to two amazing girls, Payton and Rylee, who keep me on my toes and cheer me on (when I’m not cheering them on from the sidelines at their soccer games!). We live right here in Hickory, and when I’m not working with clients, you’ll probably find me hiking a local trail, playing pickleball, planning our next adventure, sipping some great wine, or checking out one of Hickory’s newest restaurants. I’ve become the unofficial tour guide for friends and clients—if you’re wondering what to do or where to go in Hickory, I’ve got you covered.
Real estate has always been more than just a job to me—it’s something I truly love. Helping people through such a personal, meaningful journey is what fuels me. I was raised in the Southwest and have since made Hickory my home, blending that midwestern grit with a whole lot of Southern charm. With more than 15 years of experience and a business built on referrals, I’m here to give you full service, personal attention, and real results.
