“Leslie is the most knowledgeable broker we have ever worked with. It’s clear she knows the market and the process, and she truly cares about doing the best job possible. We’ve partnered with her on three deals now, and continue to be excited to partner again. She is smart, ethical, hard-working, and resourceful. Leslie looks to build a long-term relationship with clients and she does not treat that relationship as a transaction. We recommend her without reservation.”
“As a couple who have transacted their real estate holdings more than 20 times and dealt with many real estate professionals over the years, Leslie unquestionably is the best - head and shoulders above every other realtor we have worked with. In addition to the unrivaled efficiency and in-depth knowledge of the market, Leslie treasures our relationship. She never advises or asks in transaction terms but instead creates a holistic strategy that considers and optimizes our overall financial and, more importantly, emotional well-being. There never was a feeling of pressure or haste, but a sense of comfort and confidence. Leslie has successfully represented us over the years and we cannot have high enough praise for her. An incredible professional and now a true friend!”
“We met Leslie McElwreath at an open House in downtown Greenwich, where we discussed our real estate needs. We felt an instant rapport and Leslie ended up guiding us through a series of transactions that happened quickly - a land purchase, the sale of our existing home, and the acquisition of a smaller temporary residence until our new home was complete. All of this was done with Leslie’s professional, direct, honest, and non-pressure guidance. Her knowledge of Greenwich was extremely helpful when discussing different neighborhoods, and her contacts throughout the real estate community, and the town in general, were invaluable. Leslie was tireless and always available when we needed her. We would highly recommend her to anyone with real estate needs in this market.”

“Leslie helped us find the perfect home in Greenwich that suits our lifestyle and budget. She is highly respected in the real estate community and has an extensive knowledge of the local real estate market. Along with being extremely detail oriented throughout the entire home buying process, Leslie is a formidable negotiator, problem solver, and an overall joy to work with. Even after our closing, Leslie has been available to answer questions and offer advice. We recommend her without hesitation.”
“Leslie acted as our real estate broker in the recent sale of our home in Greenwich, Connecticut. We had been unsuccessful with a previous broker for two years and turned to Leslie who was recommended to us by two close friends, both brokers themselves, who strongly suggested that she could close the sale. Early on Leslie suggested some new approaches and six months later we closed. Leslie was a pleasure to work and we recommend her without reservation.”
“We had our home listed for over a year with another agent. After months of poor marketing, little to no communication and what proved to be a very ambitious price, we needed a change. Our neighbor recommended we use Leslie. Leslie’s strong financial background as a Wall Street executive reassured us that she was well equipped to market the house, negotiate a deal and most important price the house correctly. Leslie is an intelligent, hardworking and consummate professional Realtor.”
