Leigh's professionalism and knowledge is top-notch. The entire process was seamless and stress-free. Leigh kept us informed every step of the way and always asked us if we had questions and gave her honest opinion. My husband said choosing Leigh was one of the best decisions I've ever made! read more

It is almost impossible to detail how far above and beyond Vito DiGeorgio went in helping us with our purchase! Totally patient and helpful with our search. And since we were buying from our of state, cheerfully and tirelessly did any number of video walk-throughs. Further, he faithfully represented OUR best interests rather than his own or those of any other party. But the supreme measure of his worth was displayed during the exhausting grinder the lender put us through. Even though we already have a mortgage through them, they tortured us with unending demands for more documents. I count around 50, and they had us send several MANY TIMES over! Vito never lost his smile and his cheerfulness while patiently working through each new stumbling block. And after finally closing, he actually gave US a gift! This is a good man. I would advise anyone in the market for a home not to settle for any other person to help you find exactly what you need. read more

Fantastic and reliable company! Not only did they answer on a Saturday afternoon, but Katie asked how they could help me and listened to what I needed without question, even though it wasn't directly related to me listing my home. They agreed to help me and responded quickly with the document I needed and followed it up with a phone call to make sure I received it and took the time to explain it to me. I wouldn't hesitate to use them for any of your real estate needs! Thank you! Susaan read more

I lived in Charlotte, NC for nearly a decade, and had bought a home there. But for the past 6+ years I've been living in Seattle, WA, and before that I lived in Cleveland, OH for a few years. I moved out west for work. I held on to my home in NC because when I left the city it was at the start of the economic downturn and I was significantly underwater on my mortgage. This past spring (March 2017), I finally got my act together to prepare to sell the NC house. My cousin is a realtor in Chicago and he connected me with the Leigh Brown firm. My experience with this firm was amazing!! I say this for a few reasons. First, this house was my first house purchase and also my first house sale. Like many other humans, I had become attached to this "thing" and had a lot of emotions tied up with liquidating the first home of my own. The LB firm helped me process my feelings and move through in order to handle my business. Second, I was living across the country in Seattle, literally like 2000+ miles away. The distance had been a big factor in my irresponsibility of not doing what I needed to do to either consistently rent the house or sell it sooner. The LB firm did not judge me, but they were also great at helping me be accountable for my commitment and doing what was right. And finally, when I went to NC to start the process of putting the house on the market, I discovered a family of six illegally squatting in the house. It was definitely a shock and forced me to focus in order to take appropriate action while also acting with compassion. I am a social worker and am involved deeply in the issue of homelessness in Seattle. This experience tested my personally and professional selves, and the LB firm was right by my side. Because of the squatters, I had to invest in some work to get the property ready to list. Once the basic repairs were done, LB firm worked with me to quickly get the property listed. And boy was I stunned at what happened next. I literally got 10 offers on the property within a week. That's right.. 10 offers. I accepted an offer that provided me cash and a quick closing. I attribute this to the amazing pricing strategy of the LB firm and their initial advice to me as I got the basic repairs done following the squatting episode. I cannot say enough great things about the Leigh Brown firm. And the wonderful Denise Pagano is the real estate angel that I had the pleasure of working with. This firm is professional, strategic, and warm. I felt respected as a woman, and that they were always committed to me having the best experience possible. For all these reasons, I am so very thankful and without reservation, wholeheartedly endorse this real estate firm! read more

As both a former client, and a former radio producer, I would do testimonial commercials for Leigh! She and her firm are the Real (Estate) Deal. Our agent, Lawrence Mahool, gave great, *realistic* advice on what would get the home sold -- right pricing, right staging, right repairs, etc.. We took most of it, replacing worn carpet, trimming overhanging trees, cleaning as needed, de-cluttering, restoring our living room to a living room from its role as an office... The young photographer, Danielle (?) did a great job capturing the house's many attributes and getting a good selection on the web. The house was under contract, WITH A SECOND OFFER WAITING IN THE WINGS, in less than 24 hours officially on the market! It was shown *only twice,* that I'm aware of! Getting two offers from two showings, on the first day it was available to show, was not something we were entirely prepared for! Leigh Brown did a great job while Lawrence was on vacation, walking me through the negotiation process, and helping us get a signed contract. We got just about what we expected we would get. Leigh Strickland did a great job helping us with the details approaching the close. There were numerous complications associated with the BUYERS' situation (selling their home, their buyers' financing and closing timing, financing the purchase of ours, title search, etc.). Our buyers also wanted numerous inspections beyond the first one. So we settled the entire transaction about 22 days later than anticipated. Leigh Brown's team did their part to make the entire process as smooth as possible, even when the buyers were delaying the process with hiccup after hiccup. We are happy to have the place sold, and would recommend Leigh's team to anyone. read more

Amy Gamble and the team at Leigh Brown & Associates far surpassed our expectations. We recently sold a home and purchased another home in South Charlotte and have been more than satisfied. Amy's technical knowledge, flexibility and negotiation skills were keys to our success in both transactions. We have certainly become believers and will be advocates for your firm going forward. Thank you to the whole team! read more

We were referred to Leigh Remax by some friends of ours and it was a great recommendation. We worked with Tracy Roberts and she was very helpful. She met us on our schedule to see as many houses as we could fit in or stand on any given day. Bidding was stressful but Tracy kept a cool head. She advised us and we are confident that we got a great deal. There are a lot of dumps out there and Tracy didn't hesitate to point out some major issues and tried to show us the bigger picture on cost. I personally had reservations and preconceptions of real-estate sales people and I found I was very wrong. Tracy showed us she was on our side. We were not very savvy to the process when we began and shopping entailed a lot of lessons and hurdles. Now that it's past over and we are moved into our new home, we couldn't be happier. Thank you for your help Tracy!! Leigh Brown is a great company to work with if you are looking to purchase a home. They were on the ball with timing and Tracy was on the ball with providing us information we needed. i recommend them to any experience or inexperienced potential home owners. We now rent our old condo with Leigh Brown and will for years. read more

You knocked us off our feet! - 2014 CRS Instructor Development Workshop - Mark Porter

Leigh and her team are the BEST. Our house went on the market in October and sold in March. Their presentations of our property on the web and in marketing materials produced a continual flow of showings, even during the dark days of Dec and Jan. They were johnny on the spot in responding to showing agents' questions. They kept us informed of comments from potential buyers with each and every showing and never left us without marketing materials at the house. Leigh helped us through the negotiation process to arrive at a better than hoped for sale price. Communication post-contract was exceptional and kept the process moving forward. We closed yesterday and couldn't be happier that we chose to do business with Leigh Brown and Associates. read more

We have moved around the country 6 times and have used buyer's agents each time. Amy Gamble of Leigh Brown-RE/MAX has been the best! She is very knowledgable, personable, professional and best of all, low-key and not pushy. We are so glad to have gone through the buying process with her assistance. Many questions came up with our lake house purchase and us coming in from out of town and if Amy didn't have the answers, she efficiently and effectively found out the information and recommended great people along the way. The process was relatively painless with Amy's leadership and experience. Terra is a pleasure to work with as well. They are a great team and we are grateful to have been referred to Amy. read more

After meeting with a previous realtor who helped us buy our first house, we were less than impressed with that realtor's promptness and knowledge of our local market, and particularly the way she dismissed our conversations because she knew what we wanted better than we did. Jamie and I decided we needed to reach out for another opinion, and we found Leigh Brown and Associates through Dave Ramsey's Endorsed Local Provider program. We set a meeting at Leigh's office, and she spent over an hour with us during the first meeting - we went through every house listed for sale or that recently sold in our neighborhood and those immediately surrounding. We left with a crystal clear understanding of which houses were selling, in what price range, and why. As soon as we walked out of her office my wife and I looked at each other and knew the only decision was to hire Leigh and her team to sell our home. Once we were ready to list our home, Leigh came out, walked through the house with us and detailed everything she thought we needed to do in order to show the house as best we could. Ranging from repainting baseboards to deep cleaning carpets to rearranging furniture, to de-cluttering; we covered a lot of territory. We took some time and followed all of Leigh's suggestions to prepare the house to list. When we officially put the house on the market Leigh brought in her marketing specialist, Virginia. Virginia prepared flyers for the yard, brochures to leave out for prospective buyers, and marketed our home on what seemed like every web site ever created. We had 3 showing requests the first 24 hours the home was on the market - one of them even came back through for a second showing right away! Their marketing never died down, we averaged a couple showings every week the whole time our house was on the market. Leigh and Virginia kept in contact with us on a weekly basis with marketing reports showing how our house was marketed, real estate trends in our local area showing us how similar homes were being bought/sold, and other frequent communication on how to handle questions that we had from time to time. When we had an offer we wanted to accept, Leigh Strickland took over - she handled all of the details from that point with regard to the contracts, scheduling the inspectors, and coordinating everything with the buyer's agent. She did a great job preparing us for the closing, we never felt overwhelmed or in over our heads - we always knew what to expect and how to handle each step of the process. We are also using Amy Gamble, another of Leigh Brown's amazing team members, to work with us in building our new home. Amy has been nothing short of amazing, but I'll save that review for when that house is complete. Overall our experience was phenomenal, when we are ready to sell again, we will absolutely call Leigh Brown and her team. The entire process was exactly what we needed - they constantly fed us information and answered questions we didn't even know we should be asking! Please leave a comment for me if you have any questions or would like to speak with me about our experience, I HIGLY HIGHLY recommend Leigh and her team! Thank you Leigh, please feel free to use me as a referral any (and every) time!!! read more

You ladies ROCK!!! Thank you so much for all your assistance, guidance, and support during the sale of our home. We were so pleased with the entire process - from listing it, showings, and the closing process your insights were invaluable. Did I mention that it was only 90 days from listing to closing and with close to our asking price?!? Only someone that understands today's market can deliver this success for their clients! Thank you so much. We are telling anyone that will listen to contact you if they are looking for a high octane team to sell their home : ) read more

Leigh and her team make our terrible short sale situation as close to a positive thing as possible. They were always on top of the ball, and helped our family transition as much as possible. In the end, she was able to get a short sale done in 6 months, with us owing no extra to the bank, and no other hitches. I felt totally supported and protected. Leigh is awesome and her staff are great teachers. I never felt stupid or confused; I felt like they gave me the power to take control of a very terrible and confusing situation. read more

Marcus was our realtor. He was very professional, knowledgeable, and walked us through the process of selling our house. The marketing was fantastic. The pictures of our house looked great and our house got an offer in 5 days. We could have not been happier. We were happy with how Marcus handled the negotiations, and the final sale of our house. We were also happy with the sale price of our house. Overall, we had an awesome experience. The use of the truck was a nice touch as we had a lot of moving to do. Thank you! read more

Worst real estate experience we have had in over 20 years of buying and selling homes. Our agent alternately ignored us and bullied us. Calls would not be answered or returned, and then we would get threatening text messages and emails. She did not negotiate on our behalf at all, or help us through the very complicated selling process. The agency also took it upon themselves to hire contractors who we did not approve and then expected us to pay for them. In the end, we wondered if our agent knew the buyers and did not disclose that. The entire experience was extremely unprofessional. I would never recommend this agency to anyone. read more

Leigh, Marvin and I were overjoyed at the Sale of our home. Your staff was very professional, empathetic, patient and most of all they got the job done (very fast)!. Your Associates were fast, kept the buyers coming through our home and kept it in the forefront. I have worked with many Realtors in the past, but you far exceeding my expectations and have raised the bar. I can't wait to work with you again we purchase another home, nor can I wait to tell my freinds and family how wonderful our experience was with you and your office. Many Thanks and I hope you have a Prosperous New Year! read more

In the spring of 2011, I made the decision to sell a second home that I owned in Charlotte, NC. For a variety of reasons, this was a very difficult and emotional decision for me, but once I made the decision it was no turning back. One evening I sat down in front of my laptop and did a Google Search on "Real Estate Agents; Charlotte, NC; Short Sales; Experienced". The first website that popped up was Leigh Brown and Associates. I was so impressed by her professionalism, experience, and commitment to her clients. I sent her an email through her website requesting more information on her services. Within MINUTES I received a personalized response directly from Leigh. And that was the day that changed my life forever. Each buyer and sellers process will be unique and different. But, the one thing that is fundamentally consistent with Leigh Brown and Associates as your trusted real estate team is their professionalism, extreme attention to detail, A+ customer service, and commitment to your goals. The expertise that Leigh Brown and Associates consistently showed was like no other professional services I have ever received. Selling this home as a short sale was a very new process for me, but her team never left my side and gave me the continued confidence that this home would SELL and CLOSE...and it did! There was never a time in my 7 month journey from official listing to closing that I did not feel that Leigh Brown and her team were not handling the sell of my home as if it was their only sell. They remained organized, persistent, consistent, and true professionals. I also live outside of the state of North Carolina and their swift and factual responses to email and phone were impeccable. There are not enough THANK YOU's and accolades that I can bestow on this fantastic team. When you are ready to buy or sell your home, only make ONE phone call or send ONE email, and send it to Leigh Brown and Associates. You will not be disappointed. read more

My wife and I recently moved from Texas to Charlotte, NC and we worked with Amy Gamble at Leigh Brown and Associates. We had very limited access to the area during our housing search, which could have made the process difficult and frustrating. Instead, Amy and her team did an absolutely terrific and thorough job walking us through each step, visiting properties for us, and making things easy for us. As first time home buyers, we needed an agent who would be willing to explain each step, give solid advice, and keep things as simple as possible. Amy met and exceeded our expectations, going above and beyond what was necessary to ensure a smooth and painless buying process. I have no reservations about recommending her and the entire team over at Leigh Brown. read more

Leigh Brown took the time to come out to our house and answer our questions about the short sale process before we were even 100% sure we were going to put it on the market. She was friendly, professional and knowledgeable and put us at ease during a very stressful and confusing time. When it was time to make a decision, we had no hesitation choosing Leigh to list the house. She and her team went to work immediately with first-class marketing and we had showings within a short period of time. Working with her team (specifically Leigh Strickland) was also a wonderful experience as she went above and beyond to do a lot of the time consuming legwork that we couldn't do ourselves. Leigh (Brown and Strickland) were always available to answer questions and made us feel comfortable and valued as their clients. The house was sold 3 months after putting it on the market and we couldn't be more pleased with the service Leigh Brown and Associates provided! read more
