"Happy holidays. To all persons working with Leslie Oxley-Friedrich, our family wishes to express our full and complete confidence in her. Kona is a paradise and we were privileged to tour homes that suited our needs perfectly! She is the most personable yet professional Realtor we have ever worked with. She made us truly feel as if we knew her as a friend for years. Leslie worked so hard to make sure all our requests were dealt with honesty and integrity. Our experience has motivated us to start preparing for the move to Hawaii. We will have her help us with all aspects of the process, she is great! I hope she will be given the opportunity to get more qualified leads because she makes it so easy to become her customer. Truly satisfied and inspired. Thank you Leslie, Sincerely stoked, mahalo The Shorr family, Bob, Fay and Kona." -Bob S.

"From the beginning, Leslie listened to us describe what we were looking for and almost immediately found us the perfect property. Since we live on the mainland, we could have easily felt distant and unconnected from the process, but her attention to detail and communication skills made us feel like we were her top priority. When we were finally able to fly over and see the property, she treated us like royalty. We could not be more thankful for finding such a hidden gem in Hokuli‘a." -C.M. & J.H.

"Leslie Oxley-Friedrich worked with Grant Anderson and myself when we expressed a desire to look at property at Hokulia. She not only really heard us when we told her what we were looking for, but understood what we were looking for and then proceeded to show us exactly that. Her communication with us, attention to detail, and professionalism were outstanding. We would recommend her to others. We would use Leslie as our agent again. ." -Judy L.

"We recently bought a home with the help of Leslie, and were very impressed with her through the entire process. We were looking for something that was very difficult to find, and we were on a limited budget. Leslie listened to us, knew exactly what we were looking for, and also understood market conditions as they related to our budget. She was creative and persistent and she found us a one-of-a-kind property that is perfect for us. We were dealing with a difficult seller and Leslie knew just how to handle the sale at every turn. She was incredibly detail-oriented and we would not own our beautiful home without her skill and determination. She kept her sense of humor, honesty, and open communication throughout the entire process, which greatly reduced some potentially stressful situations. We have worked with many realtors here in Hawaii and on the mainland, and Leslie is by far the best. She is extremely knowledgeable about local real estate and had excellent communication and customer service skills from the day we met her until the follow-up visit after the sale was complete. If you are looking for a realtor on the Big Island, we highly recommend Leslie for her ethics, knowledge, customer service, kindness, and exceptional communication. "-Buyer

About Leslie

Hawaii's rich culture, pristine beauty, and naturally restorative environment captivated my whole heart nearly twenty-three years ago. A decade and a leap of faith later, the Big Island became home. In many ways, my inspiration to live in Hawai‘i began long before I ever arrived. Born and raised on Montréal’s lakeside West Island, just beyond its thriving city and café-lined cobblestone streets reminiscent of Paris, I grew up surrounded by art, fashion, culture, creativity, and a deep sense of community. My childhood was shaped by parents who valued education, sports, family traditions, and healthy living. My mother’s giving nature, kindness, and creativity created everyday magic for my two sisters and I — from lush edible gardens and homemade everything to endless summer days waterskiing at the lake, evenings catching fireflies beneath starry skies, and mornings waking to outfits thoughtfully laid at the edge of my bed. As a mother and now Tutu, I am in awe of her gifts. The long Québec winters fostered resilience, winter adventures, and an appreciation for warmth in every sense of the word. Tropical vacations and stories of Hawai‘i opened my imagination to another way of living and inspired the future I would one day create. An early education in interior design and architecture, paired with hard work and instinct, eventually brought me to the United States. Later, a degree in psychology and integral philosophy deepened my appreciation for cultural perspectives, wellness, human connection, and the brilliance of the natural world. That blend of design, intuition, emotional intelligence, and relationship-building continues to shape the way I approach both life and business. Nearly fourteen years later, Hawai‘i remains endlessly inspiring — where snow-capped volcanoes rise above warm turquoise waters, whales breach offshore with their songs echoing beneath the sea, hidden waterfalls reward exhilarating hikes, fragrant tropical air carries through open windows, and sunsets gently close each day. Island living is a luxury in itself — restorative, grounding, reciprocal, and deeply alive. Prior to joining Compass, I had the privilege of learning from some of the industry’s leading professionals while representing exceptional luxury communities, excelling in sales and team work. My experience evolved into serving as Director of Marketing and Sales, where I developed a deep understanding of elevated service, strategic marketing, discretion, trust, and authentic relationships. Rooted in aloha and guided by reverence, listening, and care, I approach each client relationship collaboratively and with intention. I believe extraordinary homes are deeply personal — reflections of lifestyle, legacy, and the life people hope to create within them. Through thoughtful communication, creativity, and genuine connection, I strive to help each client find not simply a property, but a true sense of place.
