"When I told friends I was putting my house on the market in this economic climate, they said I was crazy! However, Lesli assured me that because I had a great house in a great neighborhood and was willing to price it at a reasonable level it would sell. She and I worked together to establish the price point since she knew that this would be a key determinant of a successful sale. We visited several other properties of similar size and amenities in my neighborhood and, based on those visits, Lesli developed a proposed price. I was impressed with her thoroughness and marketing savvy. Her support did not end with the pricing of my property --she also developed marketing materials (photos and text) with a wonderful eye for detail. In the end, my house sold in three days! The buyers were delighted with the deal and so was I. Beyond her skill, Lesli is an honest and kind person who is a joy with whom to work. I can't imagine a better choice in an agent."

"I bought my first home recently with a lot of help from Lesli.  As a first time home buyer all of the processes were new to me and Lesli walked me through each step of the way.  She worked with my family and I, referred us to a great banker and title company who all made the steps easy.  I am so glad I had Lesli as my real estate agent."

Dear Lesli,

"We write this letter to thank you for your total involvement with our real estate needs. Words will not truly convey our deepest thanks for all that you have done for our family.

Ten months ago we met you at an open house and we hit it off. You are very approachable; open to ideas and easy to talk with. During this time, we weren’t thinking about moving, just checking out the market to possibly remodel and stay put. When you offered to come to our home and give us your professional opinion and find comparisons in our neighborhood, it helped us clearly discuss our options to make the best choice. With Brock’s work and feeling the need to find more space for our needs and for the kids to run and ride bikes safely, it became obvious that a move would be the best choice for our family. But we would only move if we could find the “right” house.

When we finally decided to put our house on the market, you made it happen smoothly. Your experience with interior design was a huge help in the staging process. And you and a friend stepped up to decorate it appropriately so that the house would sell quickly. The flyers and advertising to promote our home were eye catching and the virtual tour you created really showcased our home. The numerous open houses you hosted also brought many more people through our home.

With the amount of houses we were looking at, you made our house hunting manageable and fun, not minding that the kids were a big part of our decision, and showing us homes at the drop of a hat. You always made things possible and followed though to no end.  We thank you for your never-ending devotion, constant caring, dedication, flexibility, professionalism, sensitivity and willingness to go the extra mile.

We can truly say our experiences in working with you were extremely positive and we would highly recommend you to friends and family. We look forward to many memorable times together at our new house."

~ Respectfully, Brock and Julie Hochsprung

"Lesli,

I would just like to take a minute to let you know how much I appreciated working with you on our latest transaction.  I've been in Mortgage Banking for 16 years, been involved in numerous transactions, and worked with hundreds of Real Estate Agents during my career.  In my opinion, the level of service, attention to detail, and professionalism you displayed during what was a somewhat challenging transaction went above and beyond the normal set of expectations that clients typically set for their Realtor.  I was thoroughly impressed and I know that your clients and the other Realtors involved in the transaction also appreciated your efforts. 

Thanks again for the opportunity and I hope we can work together again in future."

"Dear Lesli,

I truly believe we found the right realtor for selling my families Estate as well as finding our perfect little home in Bellingham.  Thank you so much for your decorating input on the Estate, the colors & flooring you helped me chose really made the kitchen a great selling point!

You’re constant willingness to meet us at a potential house was amazing!  I can’t remember how many homes we drove by and wanted to see.  We’d call you expecting to set up a later viewing time but instead you’d drop everything and meet us there within minutes!  It didn’t matter if it was a weekday, weekend, morning, noon or night, you were there for us.  Because of your client dedication to us, we were able to view and put the first offer down on our new home which had only been on the market for 2 or 3 days.   

Once again, thank you Lesli for all your hard work and professionalism!  I have highly recommended you to everyone I know who’s looking to buy a house and will continue to do so."

~ Sincerely, Norma & James Rowland

"I bought my house a couple of years ago. I was moving from Seattle to Bellingham and Lesli was there every step of the way. She handled any situation that came up with my best interest being her first priority. After the sell of the house she was a great resource and I still call her to get advice and contacts regarding the care of my house. It's nice having a realtor that you can depend on and truly cares."

"Dear Lesli,

We want to take this opportunity to thank you for the excellent service that you provided with the sale of our Lynden, Washington home.  Due to Petes job relocation it was important to sell the home quickly and you didnt waste a moment!  I was hoping to spend the summer in the Pacific Northwest enjoying the weather and relaxing with friends but as you know, the house sold in two days and we were out in two weeks and on the road to Kentucky!  In addition, you went over and beyond when you helped me with some issues concerning the purchase of our new home in Kentucky.  It was so comforting to us working with someone with so much knowledge and dedication.

We have sold four properties so far and this was, by far, the smoothest transaction.  Your attention to detail, creative marketing skills and excellent communication exceeded our expectations.  You worked closely with us to price our house to sell in a slow market and you listened to our comments regarding pricing home right in our unique neighborhood in Lynden.  This was a true partnership and we thank you for listening to our pricing suggestions and advising us of our options.  The best way to get good results is when everyone involved wins and this was definitely a winning situation for all of us. 

We hope all of your clients get to know you beyond the sale or purchase of their homes like we did.  The farewell party that you hosted for us is a treasured memory and we hope to come back to visit you in Bellingham and sail again!  In the meantime, were learning all about horse racing so get your party hat and come to Lexington for the races!!!"

~ Warmest regards,
    Diane and Pete Dyhan, Lexington, KY

"Lesli Brewster assisted me in recently purchasing a condominium as part of my relocation to Whatcom County.  I was most impressed with her tenacity, eagerness to please, and knowledge of real estate in the Bellingham area and surrounding towns.  A long time resident of the area, she is friendly, vivacious, and eager to please.  Even when I rejected her initial offerings, she stuck with me and together we finally found a place with which I am very happy.  In trying to meet my needs, she went the extra distance, helping me define my parameters and providing selections at both the upper and lower ends of my price range. She stayed with me every step of the way and kept me fully informed of all transactions involved in the purchase.  I could not be happier with the service I received from Lesli and highly recommend her to anyone looking for residential property in Whatcom County, especially condominiums."
