About
I don’t know if Real Estate is in one’s DNA, but I come from a family of real estate agents. As a young girl growing up in the Chicago suburbs, I remember my dad training me how to answer our home phone and take down client information. He was a top RE/MAX producer, so our phone rang a lot! My mother, Pat, joined RE/MAX SUBURBAN in 1986. I remember trying to find a quiet place for her to take calls from her clients when were out shopping or on vacation. With both parents being full-time agents, I saw firsthand how the business worked. After I graduated from college, I accepted a marketing position in Dallas with Dun & Bradstreet Software. I then worked for Electronic Data Systems (EDS) as a Human Resources Specialist and as a Business Analyst. In 2001, I brought my valuable business experience back to the Chicago suburbs where I joined my mom as a licensed agent. Pat and I have been working together for 20 years and yes, we still like each other! We have been through the ups and downs of the market and are seasoned in all aspects of real estate. From pricing to staging, from marketing to negotiating, we know it ALL. It is our experience and willingness to go the extra mile that sets us apart from the others. Throughout my career, I have received the following awards and designations: • RE/MAX Hall of Fame • RE/MAX 100% Club • RE/MAX Executive Award • RE/MAX President’s Club Award • Licensed Illinois Broker • Member of the National Association of Realtors • Certified Negotiation Consultant • Short Sales and Foreclosures (SFR) Certified • Staging Certification I really enjoy getting to know people and 80% of my business comes from past clients and personal friends. I appreciate their business as that lets me do what I truly love!

Leigh was very pleasant to work with. Very friendly, knowledgeable and quick to respond to any inquires. I also appreciated that she was honest about home values as a first time home buyer.
