Leslie is the CEO of Central Coast Sotheby’s International Realty. As the Responsible Broker, she leads a strong team who represent buyers and sellers on the highly desirable Central Coast of California.

With over 17 years of experience, Leslie has critical negotiation skills, an eye for contractual details and is who other agents turn to in working through difficult negotiations. Her clients have a high trust with Leslie. She brings a formidable level of expertise, professionalism and negotiation skills to the Central Coast market. Clients consistently comment on her calming and patient nature that brings in trust and confidence to every transaction. Understanding the Sotheby’s name and brand, she continues to work with select out-of-the-area clients who demand the best in luxury real estate representation. One common theme clients note is Leslie's high level of listening. She asks questions and listens. With a deep ability to read and understand people, she knows how to be strategic in negotiations. She executes proactively and professionally.

She proudly holds a master's degree in Organizational and Industrial Psychology. She is, though, most proud of her bachelor's degree in Communication Studies which she earned while working full time being a single parent of three children, as a re-entry student in her 40s. She is an advocate for the community college system where she had a successful career as the Director of Institutional Advancement for the Los Rios Foundation prior to entering real estate. A native of Sacramento, California, Leslie first discovered the Central Coast as a Cal Poly parent. When visiting her daughter, she would pick up real estate magazines and dream of living here. When the opportunity came to move here, Leslie and her husband didn't hesitate to do so. Owning property at both the north coast and southern portion of SLO county, Leslie knows all the nuances of the various communities that make up the Central Coast.

As a female entrepreneur, she acknowledges Central Coast Sotheby's International Realty as a woman, minority owned business and champions women in business.

She is the proud mom of three and delighted Oma of her grandson. She and her husband Rick embrace the Central Coast lifestyle and their household includes their band of rescue pets of which they are strong advocates of adopting from shelters and rescues.
