"Simply put Leigh is the best of the best! Over the course of 7 years Leigh has helped us buy two homes and sell one and we'd be lost without her guidance and expertise. On the buy side she used her wide network of other agents to get us into pocket listings before homes went on the market which gave us a huge leg up in the seller's market we faced. On the sell side her advice on everything from staging to pricing was spot-on. Because of her guidance we recently sold our home and received 10 offers in the first 36 hours on the market! Leigh is extremely detail-oriented takes the time to listen to what you want and no small detail slips through the cracks. She knows her stuff! Nowadays when access to real-time market information is everywhere Leigh is a case study in the value of having an agent to guide you through the process and we'll never use anyone else!!"

She was really helpful in determining how to best position our offer to be competitive with the seller. She also managed to coordinate an off market sale of our prior home which minimized our need to stage / prep.Overall fantastic and highly recommend to anyone!"

"We have now worked with Leigh on five real estate transactions in Charlotte over the last decade and could not be happier. She and her assistant Becca helped us navigate numerous challenges in our recent buy/sell scenario from changing market conditions to prepping our house for 20+ showings with two young kids to hurricanes affecting our property under contract at the 11th hour. No detail was missed by these two and they truly went above and beyond to help manage our daily stress level!

"We've been privileged to work with Leigh on three milestone transactions for our family — the purchase of our first home (May 2014) the sale of that home and the purchase of our "upsized" family home (May 2018). From the start of our home ownership in Sedgefield to our move into Dilworth we were extremely fortunate to benefit from Leigh's local expertise and unmatched knowledge of these highly-desirable and competitive Charlotte neighborhoods. Combined with her tireless work ethic responsiveness reliability organization market visibility network of contractors and agents personal accountability and the collective support of a top team at CCH we consider Leigh to be the very best realtor among a strong set of qualified peers. Perhaps most importantly Leigh was patient and careful to consider our goals and objectives and she continued to keep us updated with new opportunities and market insights between the purchases of our first and second homes. This personalized service proved to be invaluable especially given the current real estate market dynamics and she helped us navigate tight market windows and achieve very successful outcomes. Thank you Leigh!"

"Leigh was the most wonderful realtor! She immediately scheduled appointments at our request got us in homes and was flexible with our availability. If she knew of homes that fit into our needs she would reach out to us to see if there was any interest.

She added great perspective whenever we asked her opinion and was very open with her knowledge of the neighborhoods surrounding areas quality of the home and whether or not the home was worth the price.

"You always hear that people buy from people they like....That's Leigh. Leigh was a breath of fresh air to work with. Buying property in this market is exciting but stressful and Leigh knows how to wade a first time customer through the process and make it enjoyable. I got a great property at an amazing price due in large part to Leigh putting in the extra time and effort to get it done. I almost settled for something else but Leigh got me what I wanted and I couldn't be happier with my decision on my Realtor or my new home. I will definitely be using Leigh and Cottingham Chalk Hayes when I sell this house and buy the next." - Michael Y

"Leigh advised and represented us on our home purchase in the Sedgefield neighborhood of Charlotte NC. As first-time homebuyers we needed someone with a comprehensive background who could not only help us find the right home but also thoroughly guide us through the search diligence and closing processes. Leigh was highly regarded and referred to us by a close friend and within the first week of working with her Leigh immediately impressed us with her local real estate expertise professionalism responsiveness and above all patience. Throughout our 6+ month home-buying experience Leigh was incredibly responsive always accessible and constantly providing new market data listings and comps within our desired neighborhoods. She allowed us to openly explore the market at our own pace and discern what we really liked / disliked while offering her suggestions and expert opinion without pressuring or influencing our direction. Once we were able to narrow our criteria and "must-haves" Leigh's guidance became even more invaluable as she accurately recognized those properties we would be interested in and selectively brought us to view homes at the earliest stages. Further Leigh's experience and extensive network within the Charlotte real estate market proved to be extremely helpful as she was able to recognize certain home listings earlier than others. Lastly Leigh's expertise was critical during the diligence negotiation and closing stages of the home purchase. We heavily relied on her guidance and she was there every day completely focused on our interests and achieving the best possible outcome for us. In a market as competitive as Charlotte with so many agents to choose from we were fortunate to have Leigh on our side and would strongly recommend her to anyone seeking residential real estate services." - Alyse & Kevin

"Leigh did a truly wonderful job selling our house. We received 4 competitive offers in the first 24 hours of the house being listed. Once we signed the primary contract we also had an additional back-up contract in place. Leigh's attention to detail was impressive. My husband and I are very busy with our jobs and two little kids. Leigh made sure that we did everything we needed to do throughout the whole process from getting our house ready to put on the market evaluating the offers we received executing all of the associated paperwork and preparing to vacate the home. She had various vendors available to assist us with minor repairs and cleaning and helped stage the house so that everything was perfectly in place in time for the first showing. The listing brochure was very professional and the list price she recommended was on target with the offers and appraisal we received. Leigh was an invaluable asset for us during this very busy time." - Lauren & Wes Thurmond
