We had the pleasure of working with Mary Baker and Leslie Eason twice this summer. We encountered them first as Seller's agents (we were unrepresented buyers). We were so impressed with their representation of Seller, as well as their work ethic, market knowledge, and professionalism, that we used them to sell our primary residence as well. Both of our transactions were seamless - we found the entire team to be really well organized, skillful with communication, and at the ready with strategic, thoughtful advice. We would use Leslie and Mary again, without a doubt and know that any Buyer or Seller would be grateful to work with them and receive the benefits of working with such a cohesive team.
We inherited a home away from our area & didn't know any realtors in the Boone/Blowing Rock area. We interviewed 3 in the area who friends recommended. As soon as we met Leslie, we knew that's who we wanted to work with. She really knows her "stuff". She guided us through the whole process. She presented the property well. She worked with us to get to a market price that got it sold & gave us what we wanted. She & her staff went above & beyond to help us when we couldn't be present to do certain things. Many thanks to her & her staff. 2021
We were getting ready to sell our home and I immediately thought of Leslie. While I knew her in passing, we werent friends...yet. From the moment we signed the contract to list our home to the final stage of closing on the sale, Leslie was there. She explained every step of the process with constant updates and left no guesswork for us. I would HIGHLY recommend Leslie whether youre selling or purchasing a new home...or both! You wont be disappointed. 2021
This was the second house Leslie sold for us in the High Country. We were pleased with her presentation of both homes online, beautiful descriptions and photos. Leslie has great knowledge of the area and the market. Leslie and her team truly work hard for their clients and they get the job done! They were extremely helpful with all the little tasks you dont think about when selling a home. We would definitely ask Leslie and her team to represent us again. 2020
I was in need of a rock star agent who could market a luxury home. I knew Leslie indirectly but definitely knew her reputation as a selling agent and knew the sales volume her team does. She brought me multiple contracts in a short period of time and helped me navigate the contract, due diligence, and closing process in a most professional manner. 2020
Leslie is a real PRO! She does her job well and I am glad I got to know her. You will enjoy working with her. If you need someone that is extremely knowledgeable about real estate in the Boone area, Leslie is it!
My wife and I were looking for a vacation home in the Boone / Blowing Rock area. We our list of "must have" criteria - some shared, and some essential only to one or the other of us. Leslie and her associate, Margaret Holder, did a wonderful job showing us homes that met our criteria and in some cases helped us realize we could even drop a "must have." For example, I originally wanted 5+ acres of land. In the end, we found a home on less than one acre with immediate access to thousands of undeveloped acreage. Leslie and Margaret were available for us seven days a week and replied to text messages at all hours. We would highly recommended Leslie, Margaret and the team - they listened, prepared, and carried us through closing. 2020
Look no further than Leslie Eason for your reality needs. She goes above and beyond for her clients. We used her to sell two of our homes and would use her again. She is personable, responsive and knowledgeable. 2019
Leslie Eason and her entire team are superlative in all respects! I have been involved in many real estate transactions over the past 40 years + and have never seen the level of professionalism displayed by the Eason Team with KW of Boone.
We were interviewing realtors in the area to determine which one would be the best fit for us, Leslies turned out to be the final one, as my wife (the real power) was so impressed with her knowledge, enthusiasm, organization, and personal skills, that she wanted to list with her on the spot! A decision we are glad we made.
From that moment on, Leslie put a comprehensive and dynamic advertising/marketing program in place. During the listing period she, Ashlee, and her entire team worked tirelessly to keep our property in great condition ( much appreciated as we were absentee owners) and with the CoVid19 issues, the task was made considerably more difficult and complicated.
In far less time than we had expected, The team presented us an offer/contract, dealt with minor issues the buyer had expressed, and successfully negotiated and closed our sale at a acceptable price. KUDOS to the entire group!
Unquestionably, when/if we are involved in further real estate transactions in the area, the LESLIE EASON team gets the job! 2020
In 40 years I've purchased and sold many properties including personal residential, commercial rental, and for multiple estates. So I've had a chance to work with a lot of real estate professionals, most of whom have been good at their job. But I would take easily choose Leslie Eason and her team over the combined efforts of any 5 of those I've previously worked with. She's one of the few who my opinion of her professionalism and capabilities actually went up as the process went on. Most over-promise, and I thought she might be doing that as well. However, she actually over-delivered on those promises.
I was an out-of-town owner, so distance and my ability to be hands on as a part of the process was out of the question. Leslie picked up the slack, made all arrangements, communicated with the other realtors and tenants, and just handled everything. Her communication skills and timeliness are spectacular, and it seems she is rarely off the clock. Some details were handled well past dinner hours.
Also of prime importance is that since this was an older home, she set the expectations to avoid nickel and dime post-inspection negotiations over normal wear and tear inspection questions, which is what I asked.
Ultimately, she listed the house higher than what I expected [higher than comps], coordinated a justification to charge that price, communicated that rationale well to other realtors, and blitzed the market, What we got was a cash offer in 2 days [20% higher than one we had on the same property a year earlier], finalized offer and acceptance in a couple more days, a short diligence period, and a short term uneventful closing.
In my opinion, her commissions were recovered in the additional price she got for the property and again in communication and convenience of having her feet on the ground, speed of the process, and a trouble-free closing.
I would also point out that she did this in the worst part of the COVID-19 pandemic fear which easily made her job so much harder and at a time when I thought putting it on the market might really be a mistake. 2020
Leslie has assisted in buying and selling property for me, as well as providing invaluable counselling and suggestions for the past several years. She is highly professional, creative, energetic and provides honest feedback. Closings are organized and easy. Leslie listens to my concerns and answers my questions with accuracy and empathy. I highly recommend her to handle any realty need! 2020
Leslie assisted us with our dream of buying a vacation rental. She connected us with another buyer who had experience in the same resort and a similar plan with her purchase, which was immensely helpful in our decision-making process. Her knowledge of different types of properties, the pros and cons, and her personal thoughts on certain rentals are helpful in analyzing your options. She has a lot of experience and contacts in the area and doesn't leave you at the closing table. She went the extra mile with helping us coordinate utilities and other items after our closing as well. Not only is she a true professional, but she is a great person as well! 2019
Leslie and her team went above and beyond in selling our home. Not only were they successful, they are highly professional, efficient and knowledgable! 2019
From listing to closing was a matter of weeks! We were hesitant to list our condo because similar condos in our community had been on the market for months and months with little or no activity. When Leslie was recommended to us by our insurance agent, we jumped at the chance. She hit the floor running! There were double digit appointments for showing the condo within 7 days and we had two offers and a contract in less than 2 week! 2019
Leslie and her team at Keller Williams High Country Realty are "THE BEST" if you are planning to sell your home. She is professional, hard working yet approachable. I had many questions during the home sale process and she responded immediately every time, even when she was out of town. Her recommendations to resolve various issues were always spot on. I felt that Leslie had become a part of my extended family. Can't wait to meet with her again when I decide to purchase my next home. 2018
We definitely could not have gotten through the experience of buying a property in Blowing Rock without Leslie's expertise. She is incredibly knowledgeable about real estate in the area and has connections for all the professionals we needed during the process (contractors, inspectors, etc.). Leslie is responsive, thorough, and personable. We highly recommend her if you are looking for a real estate professional in the high country. She will represent your interests well and will help you obtain the best deal possible.L 2017
Leslie was so helpful and passionate during our purchasing process and afterwards as well - she made sure we were all settled in and had no issues. We recommend Leslie to you hands down! 2017
Leslie is an exceptional realtor. She helped us buy and sell three properties from 2016--2017. She is extremely knowledgeable about real estate in the NC High Country and made the process as simple and painless as possible. Leslie is bright, well-informed, detail oriented, personable and prompt in her response time. I highly recommend Leslie Eason as a realtor. She will not disappoint! 2017
In 2012 she found this house for us. It was just what we were looking for. nIn 2017 she sold this house for us. She does a beautiful job of printing out all the information about your property and advertised it on all the sights. nYou will not go wrong with using her. 2017
Leslie took an interest in selling our home early on, and was confident that she could sell it --and she did. She always kept her appointments, and always returned my phone calls or e-mails within a reasonable time frame. Although she has vast experience in this business market, she took special interest in my unique situation. I have no hesitation in recommending her to prospective sellers or buyers. 2016
Leslie rocks! If you need an agent in the Boone area you should seriously consider Leslie Eason. We have both bought and sold a home with Leslie recently. Both experiences were wonderful. Leslie was responsive, knowledgeable and helpful throughout the entire process. We live 3 hours away from Boone and could not drive up to handle all the things that needed doing to sell our home. Leslie helped coordinate cleaning and necessary repairs. She recommended vendors, helped with logistics and ran errands for us from a distance! Leslie also worked seamlessly with the buyer's agent to ensure a smooth and timely closing. Thanks for all your help! 2016
Ms. Eason is a highly qualiified realtor who made my experience in buying a home one of the best ever. She is knowledgeable about our local real estate market and gave excellent advice about all aspects of buying a home, from initial looking at homes to buy to my final signature at closing. 2016
Leslie is an excellent realtor and provides superior service whether you are a first time home buyer on a budget of $100,000, like us, or buying your second home with a budget way above that. We were looking to purchase our first home and weren't currently living in the area even but about 3 hours away. We would come up for a day and she would schedule us so that we could see multiple houses each time and make the most of each trip up. In total she showed us probably close to 30 houses before we found the one that became ours. She was excellent at guiding us through every step of the process including making our offer, inspection and closing. Being first time home buyers we had tons of questions along the way but she was never irritated by our long emails asking them and normally responded the same business day too. She even went above and beyond to help entertain our 2 year old son as we looked at each house. She provided us superior service for sure and has even became a dear friend of ours. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a home in the High Country of NC. 2014
