10/10 - If it wasn't for Lesley - we never would have found our new place, or we would have paid significantly more for it. In a competitive market like we've been seeing for the past few years, Lesley's persistence and drive was the differentiating factor that was able to get us consideration for a condo before it even hit the open market. I cannot recommend Lesley highly enough if you're looking for a new home in Chicago.... Apartment hunting while working full time can be a daunting effort; having Lesley working her magic behind the scenes made this process significantly smoother and more successful. Thank you Lesley!

Lesley listened to our needs and understood the market. She listed the condo which was under contract the first day on MLS. She communicated promptly, it was closed quickly.

My wife and I worked with Lesley to sell our condo. Lesley is truly fantastic. She is able to blend professionalism with the feeling like you’re speaking to a friend. Lesley knows the perfect strategies depending on the situation. Her tenacity (and patience!) to get us the best deal possible resulted in us getting our asking price and supplemental stipulations. Highly recommend Lesley!

Thank you again Lesley!!

I can not recommend Lesley strongly enough. She is everything you want and need in a realtor - hard working, honest, knowledgeable, responsive and a good listener. She is a true professional.

We couldn't have gotten our Chicago home ready and on the market without Lesley's encouragement. She represented us so well on that end. She was also able to help us find a home to fit our needs on the Indiana side. Thank you for being so patient and helpful through the whole process. Call Lesley if you need an outstanding realtor.

It was an absolute pleasure working with Lesley and her associates at Sotheby's Intl Realty. From the start, Lesley was communicative, proactive and offered insight on how to make my property more competitive in the marketplace. Given my property is part of an association, there were a few more steps we needed to take before we could accept offers. Lesley was committed to the whole process offering solutions when we hit roadblocks and keeping me abreast of legal matters at each step. I'm very pleased with her due diligence and making me feel like my goals were her goals. I look forward to working her team again!

Lesley is one of those rare instances that you actually find a person with moral character and honesty in the real estate market. She was great with her knowledge and experience and the ability to think outside the box. She was a breath of fresh air. There are no words to describe how thankful I am for meeting Lesley. I will be using her again.

Lesley Sweeney, my realtor, oversaw the selling of my home from start to finish. I have worked with her before and can’t recommend her highly enough.
She advised me on how to show the house and kept me informed and guided me through each step of the process. I always felt she was a text if there were any questions. She was informed, alert to any possible problems, supportive and always very professional. She made a daunting task doable.

Lesley is quite congenial and ambitious. She held multiple open houses to expose my condo to an enormous amount of potential buyers in a very short amount of time. She understands the market and knew how to price my place to sell, which it did in one month.
She's very proactive and extremely communicative. I was able to rely on her to take the ball and just keep going. I feel she is a professional amongst a field of mediocre agents. I highly recommend her.

Lesley was amazing to work with. She was on top of every detail throughout the process of buying our home and went the extra mile to help us take final posession of the home on a Sunday night! Would recommend Lesley to anyone looking to buy or sell a home in Northwest Indiana.

Since I met Lesley she has gone above and beyond with both helping me find a new home and sell my former home. Some examples of her incredible assistance include connecting me with a handy man, a painter, a home organizer, a cleaner, a wood floor repairman, a cabinet maker, a home stager, and the list goes on and on! Full service and white glove treatment only begin to explain the service and experience Lesley provides. My former home closed within a week of going in the market! And, she is a really kind, generous, and amazing person!

Lesley was great to work with. While she gave good advice when we asked, she always let us have the final say in how we proceeded with the sale. She provided attractive, accurate and helpful marketing materials, from handouts to a 3-D tour online. We were selling from out-of-state, and Lesley made sure everything went very smoothly, from showings and open houses to the closing. We are very grateful for her professionalism, expertise, enthusiasm and fun personality.

Lesley Sweeney is such a treat to work with! Her level of professionalism and expertise trumps all others I have worked with in the past. We utilized many of her trusted residential builder/construction resources to get our properties prepped for sale/closing. She has now sold two of our rental properties. Lesley and her team went above and beyond many times over. They even met with contractors on occasions where we couldn’t make it. I would recommend Lesley and team to anyone buying/selling in Illinois or Indiana.

When I listed my house for sale by owner,I’ll admit I was hesitant to sell to a buyer working with a realtor. Boy, was I wrong! Lesley is professional, knowledgeable, and makes the process of selling a home so simple. She worked for the buyer but was worth her weight in gold by answering all my questions and carefully explaining each step of the process. We closed on time without a single hiccup or glitch. She was an absolute delight! I highly recommend Lesley Sweeney, realtor, to sell your home or help you purchase a new home. You won’t be disappointed!

Lesley was a true partner in our home search. Terrific follow-up, on top of the details, and provides guidance on issues that a homebuyer normally does not think about during the home search process. Lesley is a pleasure to work with.

Lesley is the best broker I have ever worked with. She provided us with valuable insight on the housing market conditions before and during the listing of our property. We had some upgrades that we wanted to complete prior to our listing, she was able to give us recommendations based on current trends. Everything from hardwood sand and stain to bathroom tile was updated to provide maximum value. We received many compliments on our upgrades. My wife and I were relocating across the country, working with Lesley made our move much easier and virtually stress free. We were very happy with Lesley and would recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, knowledgeable and client focused Realtor.

Lesley has been a complete pleasure to work with. She was a true professional through the entirety of the leasing process from the listing, to showings, working with existing tenants, and even completed a thorough walkthrough on move-in day with the new tenants. I’m very impressed with her work ethic, professionalism, and organizational skill set. I will recommend Lesley for other real estate transactions and would be blessed to have her represent my property in the future.

I'm a property investor and Lesley is my 'go-to' Realtor. She's very organized and passionate about her clients, as well as a GREAT communicator. In the current strong seller's market, she helped me sell fully 6 condo units in various buildings and exceeded expectations for all. As with any transaction, bumps in the road arose from buyers and others, but Lesley calmly and professionally - with patience - guided each transactions successfully past them. She and her team are the BEST!

Working with Lesley was easily the best experience with a realtor that we have ever had. She went above and beyond our expectations in all areas. She is very proactive and on top of everything, which gave us a lot of peace of mind during our home buying experience. Communication was clear at every step. You can really tell she is passionate about both her career and finding the right home for each of her clients.

I worked with Lesley to sell my house, and I could not have had a better person to work with. She was attentive to detail and was on top of everything. She was truly focused on what was best for me. She made it so easy, guided me through everything and went above and beyond. I felt like I was in such good hands. Selling or buying a house can be a very scary endeavor and Lesley made so easy. I totally trusted her to be my best advocate in the process. If you are looking to sell or buy, you definitely have to work with Lesley. She is absolutely amazing!!!

Our search for a reliable, expert and professional realty agent was over once we met Lesley Sweeney!!
She is all that …..and more!!

She not only has a friendly, caring and positive attitude but exudes knowledge, preparation and experience of the current real estate market and its changing trends.

She guided us through the intricacies of the sale of our home and was there with us every step of the process. She could not have been more helpful and attentive.

Our highest recommendation goes to our realtor…Lesley.👍👍

I cannot say enough great things about Lesley on the recent purchase of our new home. We purchased/sold a condo only once before deciding to leave Chicago for NW Indiana. The home buying process is very different between each state, and with Lesley licensed in both Illinois and Indiana, she guided us seamlessly through the nuances of the Indiana process. Lesley is extremely communicative (text, email, phone), thorough, and works efficiently. She proactively thinks ahead to make sure every detail is considered before signing a contract. Even after moving into our new home, Lesley still made herself available to us for a variety of questions we experienced and recommendations for service providers. Whether you're buying or selling, I highly recommend Lesley as your next agent. You won't be disappointed.

Lesley was awesome. She had great insight, opinions and suggestions to me during the entire process. She was available at all hours of the day to discuss issues I had during the buying process. When we went to the closing I felt like I had a friend and confidant sitting next to me and frankly no offense to the other Realtors in that office but I felt like my "Realtor" was head and shoulder above them. Her professionalism and sophistication were apparent in my initial conversations with her and was very beneficial to me during the entire process. She has the knowledge, experience, expertise and knows the marketplace. I am very satisfied with her as my Realtor. I will be recommending her for anyone I know looking to buy or sell, I am fortunate, SHE IS THE BEST !

I highly recommend any future buyers/sellers to reach out to her.

"We want our home sold at our price, very quickly".
I've said this to Lesley two times now in two years.
Last year Lesley sold my wife's house in Logan Square above appraisal and before it ever hit MLS. That's right! Lesley can sell a house in ZERO days.
She is a one person think tank who has the ability to turn bold, creative idea cultivation into elegant action and subsequent results. We literally had fun working with Lesley and found her to be professional, reassuring, and uniquely capable.
Now that we've chosen to live full time in our country house in NWI it was time to sell my home in Humboldt Park. So last month I called her up and asked her make the magic happen again. The next day Lesley had this "coming soon" sign in front of my house and apparently it really got people excited. she had her team of professionals active before I had to worry about it. There was a handyman fixing my gutter, another guy with cool hardware scanning the interior to create the floor plan, an estate sale representative explaining how I could liquidate duplicate furnishings and best of all Lesley discovered and leveraged new developments in the community that added value to my property. Frankly I didn't think it would sell for so much.
We closed today so I'm still high on life... forgive my effusive and rather joyous review, but this is our truth. (That fourth pic is part of a screenshot I took after funds disbursed this afternoon :)
How long did it take Lesley to sell this house?
Well, it was on the market for ONE DAY. She informed me that we had a solid offer, which we navigated through until our closing today.
I never imagined I would work with a real estate agent who could make me wish I had more houses to sell...

Now Lesley probably can't guarantee that she will sell your house in one day, but even if she takes twice as long, you'll be very happy.

Lesley was awesome. She helped us sell our parents home. Lesley was very professional, understanding and kind during the sale of the house.

Lesley is a fantastic agent. She worked very hard to get a great price for my home. She went above and beyond to make sure the entire process went smoothly. Lesley connected me with all the contacts I needed including recommendations for an inspector, homeowners insurance agent, contractor and handyman. She is resourceful and easy to work with. She regularly checked in, actively listened, and did her very best to represent me. I highly recommend Lesley to anyone looking to sell or buy a property.

We were out of town home buyers who did not know the north west area of Indiana at all. Lesley did a fantastic job working with our schedule and short timeline to find a home that is a great fit for us. She is very responsive to any questions or concerns and checks in on a regular basis to make sure everything is going as planned. Overall, I highly recommend Lesley for those needing to buy or sell a home in the area.

As a first time home buyer, I couldn't have asked for a better realtor! Lesley was honest in her opinions and assessments of properties, she was responsive, thoughtful, and professional. I quickly discovered that I had no clue what the home buying process entailed. Lesley went above and beyond to simplify the process and to make sure all of the i's were dotted and t's were crossed so that the contract and closing went smoothly. She connected me to a network of other reliable professionals for financing, the inspection, and closing. She was thoughtful and got to know me as a client. Even after the closing, she has been wonderful in providing neighborhood and handyman recommendations! I will highly recommend Lesley to friends and family for any real estate transaction.

When selling our suburban home and moving to a condo in the city, Lesley helped us differentiate the neighborhoods, provided great market research as to different options and price ranges, and showed us the perfect range of properties. Her knowledge of the market was outstanding, and in one afternoon, we were able to find the perfect property that met every item on our wish list. She handled all the negotiations seamlessly. In addition, she was a fantastic resource as we were going through the sales process on our home (even though due to location she didn't list). Lesley's market knowledge, analytical skills and customer service make her an outstanding agent.

We met Lesley purely by chance and we could not have been more fortunate! She patiently guided us through our first home buying - and building! - experience. She took what was, at times, a very harrowing and scary situation and made it genuinely enjoyable, even fun! She was a calming voice of reason when were anxious. When we called with questions, she always answered and never made us feel like we were bothering her. She was always timely, kind, professional and informative. She was our advocate when negotiating (successfully!); and she offered well thought out advice for both the cosmetic and the practical decisions we had to make with the build.

We could not be happier with out first home; we could not have found it without Lesley. We cannot recommend her enough!

Lesley was absolutely fantastic! We moved from several states away during a very intense housing market and had no firsthand knowledge of the area. Lesley was able to quickly zero in on what we wanted in a house from location to aesthetic. This made the search process very efficient and painless and allowed us to execute a successful offer within an extremely narrow search window. Throughout the entire process, from search to close, her responsiveness and expert responses to our questions made us feel like her number one client.

Lesley is the best!

Lesley was very helpful and responsive from our first inquiry about a location. Apartments go fast, especially in great locations and when the price is right. She immediately responded and sent a walk through tour of the unit we were interested in - very useful during a pandemic. We were able to schedule a showing ASAP, and the transition from a potential home to signing a lease was smooth and easy. She answered all our questions, and guided us the whole time. We are first time renters so her effort, honesty, and commitment to helping us was comforting

Her comprehensive, practical approach and researched opinions (in every area, including a number of things we never thought of!) made us feel that we could trust her and have a confident and honest dialogue about anything along the way. She was more than happy to share her expertise and more importantly, she valued our opinions first and foremost. She thought of EVERYTHING and kept us calm and informed throughout the entire process.
