JENNIFER GRYCEL, a seller from Punta Gorda, FL
Leslie was extremely professional and knowledgeable regarding the real estate market in our area! She always kept us up to date with inquiries and any questions! We wish she was the real estate agent when when bought the land and our home. We highly recommend Leslie! When we retire out of country in a few years, she will have our home to list. Burnt Store Title, who she recommended was excellent as well! We couldnt be happier!

Anonymous, a buyer from Punta Gorda, FL
Couldnt have asked for a better experience in buying a home. We are snowbirds with training, wheels, and Lesley, in fact, her whole team, was exceptional. We not only got insights on the regional marketplace, but we also got specific knowledge virtually block by Block.

DENNIS N FRANKLE LIFE EST, a seller from Punta Gorda, FL
We can't say enough fantastic things about them. Lesley is extremely knowledgeable, professional, and goes out of her way to help in any way she can. Selling a house is always stressful, but Lesley made the process so much easier. I would never buy or sell a house in the Punta Gorda area without her!

Lesley's market knowledge, communication and professionalism are top notch.

Stacy Magid, a seller from Port Charlotte, FL
I recently had the pleasure of working with Lesley for the sale of our waterfront land, and I am delighted to share my overwhelmingly positive experience. Being a real estate agent myself in another state, I had specific criteria for an agent, and I was fortunate to find Lesley, whose approach closely aligns with my own business practices. Lesley managed the transaction with an unmatched level of professionalism, dedication, and expertise, ensuring a seamless and successful outcome.

Lesley and Berlie were great, the sold use the home and then sold it for use. They are professional, caring and take care of all the details.

Diana Mitchell, a seller from Punta Gorda, FL
My Moms home was a challenging sale. The market had change so much that her adorable, update and water property just wasnt selling. After taking the advice of Lesley and Berle, we dramatically reduced the price and it sold right away! Bottom line - listen to your agent and price it right from the beginning!

Jenny, a seller from Punta Gorda, FL
Thank you Leslie Barton for selling my house. You are truly exceptional and
your level of knowledge, promptness and communication is impressive You never let me down and was always available to answer all my questions and concerns.

MARVIN & ROBIN KUZNITZ, a seller from Port Charlotte, FL
Lesley Barton is a fantastic realtor, bar none. Lesley helped sell our double lot in Port Charlotte, FL. Not only is Lesley a top notch agent, she is an expert in her field. Lesley and her team are the best in the area, hands down. Her knowledge of the market, professional business contacts, regular communications with us throughout, availability, and her never-give-up attitude have made us fans for life. If you are looking for a realtor that genuinely cares about delivering an above average and positive experience, then you need to contact Lesley right away. Youll be glad you did!

T D, a seller from Punta Gorda, FL
Lesley was helpful with the sale of our lot which had a couple of unexpected challenges.

Anonymous, a buyer from Fort Myers, FL
We definitely picked the right agent!! Lesley and Berlie worked diligently to find the perfect house for us! Hold onto your hat if you choose this team.....they are COMMITTED to the task. We used the word 'unbelievable' to describe this duo more than once. They were determined to find us just the right home to fit our needs when we ourselves were not even sure what that was. Non-stop energy (we saw 13 homes in 1 day, and #13 was it!!) and a champion with a challenging negotiation. We truly believe we wouldn't be in a home we LOVE, LOVE, LOVE today if we would not have contacted Lesley who, *BONUS POINTS*, answered her phone on the 1st ring every time we called!! You would be doing yourself a disservice to use anyone but Lesley!!

Anonymous, a seller from Port Charlotte, FL
Lesley did a great job! She was attentive to our price range and our needs. She sold our home in about 3 weeks in a questionable market, for a price we were happy with. Lesley stayed on top of our sale from the beginning to closing day. I recommend Lesley if you're thinking of selling your home, you won't be disappointed.

MICHAEL MANGANARO, a seller from Punta Gorda, FL
Leslie preformed at a high level for us throughout our entire sale process. While many agents of her caliber spend little time and attention on transactions less than $100K, Leslie proved to us that she has a tremendous focus on all transactions both large and small.
Leslie kept us apprised throughout our transaction on details to allow us to close the transaction at the lowest cost to us, and (most importantly) in the most the lowest expense to us as the seller. We will recommend Leslie to many of our friends that look to buy or sell a property in the greater Punta Gorda area, and on a scale of 1 to 10 on her performance, we would rate Leslie's work a 15!

Thomas Bechtold, a seller from Lehigh Acres, FL
Lesley and crew were AWESOME to deal with on the sale of our Condo!!! We had a couple of issues and she and her team handled/resolved them with true professionalism!! Thanks Again!!!!

L.L., a seller from Buckingham, FL
Lesley & her team have been through so much with us!
Even after Hurricane Ian ripped through our property her team was patient & persistent.
Our property finally sold today!!!
We are so grateful for them all!!!!

Denny & Deborah, a seller from Punta Gorda, FL
Lesley and her team did an incredible job in selling our home. She is incredibly knowledgeable of the area and its many assets as well as the technical requirements for a successful real estate sale. She has a great talent for successful negotiations. We were happy and grateful with how things turned out.
Thank you Lesley & team for all your help!

Frank And Giovanna, a seller from Port Charlotte, FL
Lesley knew the market and was knowledgable about the area. We are able to sell quickly and the process was smooth. Thanks Lesley!

Tracy R., a seller from Port Charlotte, FL
Experience is a must. While many have experience not everyone has experience in how, where and why youre selling. We wanted someone who would listen to us and not be pressured to sell just because. It took some time to sell but we got the price we wanted and it was no hassle and stress free. (And no delays)

Christa Rettner, a seller from Port Charlotte, FL
Lesley was wonderful!

JUDY MCGILL, a seller from North Port, FL
Leslie and her team did an amazing job with the sell of my home. Sold in 28 days!
I will always have her help me with my slice of Paradise. Great job for all of them

Natalie Wanamaker, a seller from Port Charlotte, FL
Leslie Barton was the best realtor I ever worked with plus she is efficient and moves quickly to get things done.
Not sure I could have sold my house so quickly without someone like her who from start to finish oversees everything and gets it finished quickly. Kudos to Leslie and her team especially Berlie Hochmuth who is her right arm lady.

Diana Mitchell, a seller from Punta Gorda, FL
Berlie Hochmuth who is Leslies right hand woman handled our sale. Berlie was helpful, great communication and got the house sold fast. Will definitely use the Leslie Barton team again!

Allison T, a seller from Port Charlotte, FL
Lesley Barton helped sell my property at a fair price. Lesley knows the market, knows the business and knows how to communicate with her clients. I am satisfied with my experience and recommend Lesley highly. She will keep you informed, provide insight and get your property sold. Lesley is the best!

Allison T, a seller from Punta Gorda, FL
Lesley Barton is knowledgeable, professional and thorough. Lesley priced my property to sell but at a good price. She kept me informed of all offers and assisted me along the way. I highly recommend her services and will use her again for my real estate needs.

TOM & ROSEANN KARTER, a seller from Port Charlotte, FL
We have worked with Berlie in the past and are happy with her knowledge and excitement with regard to our needs. Leslie along with Berlie are a great team. We will definitely use them in the future.

Tammy Mackai, a buyer from Rotonda, FL
I was looking for a secondary home that I could also VRBO when I was not in town. I had specific criteria of low HOA fees, not extremely restrictive but maintained, close to a convenient airport, not far from the beach and had to have a private pool and lanai in a well kept neighbor. I am a Realtor in my home state, but I needed someone local to be my eyes and ears as I was doing showings virtually. We made a plan and adjusted as we needed to. I closed on my property 6/9/23. Leslie and her team made sure my requests and needs were met. I have already referred more buyers to her!

Scott Bruce, a seller from Solana, FL
Leslie showed great perseverance during a difficult property to sell. She was able to identify serious buyers from non-serious buyers. This helped in saving time and money.

Tom Zabkiewic, a buyer from Punta Gorda, FL
Lesley and her team went above and beyond throughout the entire home buying process. There was never a request too big or too small. Not only did she spend an exuberant amount of time assisting us in finding the perfect home, she handled every single detail promptly day or night, even making showings happen after hours due to our hectic schedules. Lesley spent a great deal of time learning and understanding what we as her clients needs were and was promptly able to notify us or remind us why a property would or would not work for us. Due to her deep knowledge of the market area as well as the market in general, we were able to have 100% confidence in her ability and the advice she provided was spot on. We have searched for a realtor that would go this far above and beyond for a long time, and we knew from the beginning that the right paths crossed. The proof was in the results and we couldn't be happier in our new home. I would highly recommend Lesley and Berlie for any of your real estate needs, large or small. You wont be disappointed.

Allison T, a seller from Punta Gorda, FL
Lesley Barton is an excellent realtor. Her knowledge, professionalism and dedication to her clients is amazing. Lesley reviewed my properties and made recommendations on selling prices that were realistic, not over inflated to get my listings. Lesley communicates extremely well. She kept me informed of all offers, issues and signed contracts! She negotiated on my behalf when we got offers to maximize my return. I listed three properties with Lesley, have closed on one and have signed contracts on the other two. Lesley does her due diligence on offers and provides good feedback on the viability of closing. Overall, a wonderful experience and I highly recommend her as a Realtor.

Anonymous, a seller from Port Charlotte, FL
Lesley is great to work with! We purchased a home with her, and recently sold another home with her help. She did several open houses. The sale took several months, but it was finally accomplished.

JEFF HULL, a buyer from Port Charlotte, FL
My wife and I recently purchased a home and it was a challenging process with it being a spec home mid construction.

Lesley and her team were always available and willing to help and they really went the extra mile to ensure that we were happy in the end.

There were some real challenges and her knowledge and experience were helpful to help ease our stress levels.

DAN COE, a seller from Port Charlotte, FL
Truly a professional who cares to provide the best services to clients. She knows the best selling points in the markets she services. I trust her without question and could not consider any other person and company. I am sold on her energy to do the right thing for me, her client. Thank you.

Patty Richer, a seller from Punta Gorda, FL
There is no one as caring and positive as Lesley. Even after the hurricane she was messaging to check in on my family and my home. She was providing info for disaster relief on multiple levels. Her team was amazing and did everything they could to assist with the sale of my home. A BIG thank you to all of them, and especially my beautiful friend, Lesley.

TAMELA LEANN HAYES, a seller from Port Charlotte, FL
Leslie was the best! Very professional and was able to navigate and guide my parents to closing in one of the trickiest of market challenges. Thank you for everything; not only for taking such care in the sale of their home for top dollar, but just being there for the littlest things that mean so much. :) The Lundvall Family

Mark Klym, a buyer from Charlotte County, FL
Leslie was great. First time home buyer in florida and was knowledgeable and helpful in every thing. Would highly recommend her

Julie Kloser, a buyer from Palm Harbor, FL
Lesley and her team provided the expertise and guidance we needed. We had no knowledge of Florida life and relied heavily upon Lesley and Berlie to guide us. We ended up going under contract while evacuating sue to Ian. Lesley didnt miss a beat even providing sources for us to find a safe haven during Ian. Her team focuses on lifestyle choice not just finding a house. We came to count on her ongoing guidance throughout as we didnt know anything about flood zones, termites and other particulars that come with purchasing a home in the sunshine state. Thank you from our family as we feel grateful for the gift you given us - finding our own slice of paradise pie and a lifestyle to match!

Thank you Lesley and your team and associates for working so hard !

Ann Northen, a buyer from Punta Gorda, FL
Back in the day I was a seasoned Realtor with my own successful team (23 years). Until I met Lesley Barton I never came close to finding someone who shared my attention to detail and personal interest in doing what's best for the client FIRST. Lesley exceeded my own expectations. She was always available, never hesitated to stop whatever she was doing and take care of our needs or answer our questions. She was ever present and in our corner throughout negotiations and the entire process of closing on our new home. If you are looking for excellence your search is over. Call Lesley Barton!

ROGER NORTHEN, a buyer from Punta Gorda, FL
The best realtor I have ever worked with. Always ready to help and she is just a dynamo! I would not hesitate to use her again....

Leslie is by far the best realtor I have used. Her dedication to the client is unmatched. She is relentless in getting the job done! Great experience!

KELLEY JOHNSON, a buyer from Port Charlotte, FL
Lesley did a great job finding multiple properties for us to check out.Properties that net our criteria.She has great enthusiasm and a positive attitude.She was also informative about possible scams.Unfortunately,those do exist.We really appreciated her knowledge and guidance!

ART JOHNSON, a buyer from Port Charlotte, FL
Lesley's knowledge base in real estate is extensive and her ability to explain what is needed and going on through the whole buying process was always explained to our understanding. With so much to track during lot purchase, home builders and working with environmental issue, Lesley was the lead and she ensured things got done to completion. Her availability and dedication too staying in touch with us during all of this was beyond approach. As stressful as it can get Lesley never lost focus or lost our trust. Lesley Barton and her team (Burlie) are truly the BEST EVER. It was our pleasure to have found her and get to know her and will continue to turn to her.

Joan Liberti-Potvin, a seller from Port Charlotte, FL
Lesley and her team helped us sell our luxury home and purchase a new home and land. Every step of the process was handled professionally and courteously. She was extremely knowledgeable regarding market trends, pricing, negotiation tactics and proved to be an excellent resource for referrals to other services. I would highly recommend Lesley and her associate Berlie to handle all your real estate needs.

Brittney Farrand, a buyer from North Port, FL
Lesley works hard to make sure everything that is needed is done to make your escrow close smoothly. We worked with her for over six months, and during that time we wrote two offers and had both of our offers accepted in this sellers market, a 100% acceptance rate which is pretty unheard of these days. I attribute this to Lesleys assistance in helping us craft competitive offers that were not ridiculously over priced, but strong in other areas of our offer. One of our escrows fell out because the houses condition had issues after inspections. I appreciated how she made sure to get inspectors out there ASAP so we could know the condition of the house before that contingency time ran out on our contract. Because of this, we were able to cancel the first escrow without losing our deposit. With inspection turn times being so far out these days, the inspections could only be done so quickly because of the relationships Lesley has with local inspectors who make Leslies clients a priority. Our second escrow that had multiple offers closed smoothly in a month. One last thing I appreciated was her search tool that gave us automated notifications when listings in our ideal location and parameters came up, allowing us to schedule a virtual showing with her friendly showing agent, Berlie, right away and get our offer in quickly. Overall, I can say with full confidence Leslie is knowledgeable, attentive, and a strong negotiator. If you are local or out of state, Leslie is a great choice.

Rod Zuniga, a buyer from Port Charlotte, FL
There are no words to describe how professional and knowledgeable our agent is. Lesley went above and beyond in her duties as a realtor. She did her job, the job of the sellerss realtor, and even the lender. Our sell almost didnt go through because our lender turned in the paperwork late, but Lesley made a miracle happen. We are so grateful that she was an agent. I would recommend her 150%

Mary Lou Feix, a buyer from Englewood, FL
We appreciate that our purchase was secured during a sellers market. We also appreciate that she recommended competent workers who were helpful in inspecting moving and making necessary repairs.
Her assistant was present every time we needed her for inspections, walk throughs, interior decorators, etc.

Michael, a buyer from North Port, FL
I haven't really "traditionally bought" a house before. I assumed my last home, so the process was intimidating to me. Once my loan was pre-approved, again, lost. On a whim, I asked Facebook. The responses were overwhelming to go to Lesley Barton. So I did. Lesley walked me through everything. Including my ridiculous schedule. After I visited the home (I eventually bought), Lesley took over. If there was an inspection or something needing to be done, she got it. I was constantly being updated on every aspect of home buying process. Look, we missed a closing date by 4 days (VAs fault). I met, for the first time, my step sister. If we closed on the original date, I'd have never met her. It was meant to be delayed. Yeah, y'all go see Lesley and Berlie. It'll be the best home buying experience.

I chose Lesley to handle my offer and purchase of my home in the historic district in Punta Gorda. She was knowledgeable and tenacious in the process. She clearly has helped many buyers over many years. She knew just how to negotiate with challenging sellers and their realtor. Lesley was focused on me as the buyer, and available any time I needed information or had questions. She proactively provided information that helped me make informed decisions. I selected Lesley as I had a positive experience with her counterpart in the agency up north as well as learning Lesleys previous experience. I am really pleased; Lesley exceeded my expectations and provided excellent customer-centered guidance coupled with expertise in complex real estate transactions. She was awesome!

Julian Palmer, a buyer from Punta Gorda, FL
Lesley and Berlie were always reachable and provided sound advice in the purchase of our home.

Marliese , a buyer from Punta Gorda, FL
My husband and I were shopping for a second home in Punta Gorda Florida and having Lesley made the entire experience a huge success!

LISA DEVROY, a buyer from Punta Gorda, FL
I met Lesley while escaping the brutal Michigan winters in 2019. We were JUST beginning our research into purchasing or building here in SW FL. With her upbeat personality, attention to my every question, and her patience with my lack of knowledge..I knew Id found a good match with my realtor.
I spent 2 winter seasons in FL in a fifth wheel and last year in a Cape Coral rental, all the while picking Lesleys brain about building codes, available properties and reputable contractors and tradesmen for our hopeful project. 3 seasons3 .I asked so much of this highly knowledgeable and extremely motivated woman; she answered every question and guided us toward the best people for our needs. Returned phone calls within minutes, extremely efficient and well connected with local businesses. What a blessing for us! August 2021, we finally tied up our loose ends here in Michigan and began a REAL home search. With the market demanding immediate action and response, Lesley investigated all our homes of interest, steered us clear of the big issues = bad homes and we ended up bidding on and landing the best home for us. Lesleys intuitive guidance coupled with her keen prowess regarding the navigation of complicated Florida real estate was the ONLY reason we won our little slice of palm tree bordered paradise. Accurate, agressive and quick is essential in this game and Lesley executes this well as the pro that she is. Even after the sale, she has been a GREAT help to suggest and coordinate our tradesmen and contractors for the anticipated improvements of our 50 year old home.
I would not hesitate a moment to recommend Lesley and her team for any real estate endeavor. Im grateful for her expertise and consistently offering her valuable time and advice. We are thrilled to be her clients and now, Florida friends!

Marliese S., a buyer from Punta Gorda, FL
I met Lesley when I was inquiring about a house early on in our search for a home in the Punta Gorda area. Seeing that we lived in upstate New York at the time and were searching from a distance it became beneficial to have great agent on site.
Lesley isnt just great, she is an AMAZING, OUTSTANDING, DEDICATED, KNOWLEDGEABLE, ACCOMPLISHED agent whose guidance through this process was everything we could have hoped for.
Lesleys knowledge of the area was tremendously helpful. She could describe to us the vibe of different neighborhoods and areas, what to expect in the way of amenities and services, ease of getting around just to name a few.
She explained to us the differences in the purchasing process in Florida compared to other states, providing us with crucial information that helped us in our search. Any questions we had were answered in a timely manner and with attention to detail at the highest level.
Im writing all of this as Im sitting on the lanai of our new home in Punta Gorda. Once we had found the house that full filled all of our requirements, Lesley negotiated the perfect deal for us. My husband and I couldnt be more pleased with our experience with Lesley and members of her team and have no hesitation whatsoever recommending her to others.
Lesley DELIVERED and we are loving life in Paradise!

BARBARA GUILLEMETTE, a seller from Port Charlotte, FL
I recently contacted Lesley Barton regarding the sale of a lot I owned in Port Charlotte, Florida. She was knowledgeable about property market in the area. She explained the whole process of selling the property, the costs involved, and who would be contacting me for the closing. She made me feel comfortable through the entire sale. I would highly recommend her as the sales agent in selling or purchasing property. I really wish her the best in all future endeavors!

Kim Early, a buyer from Port Charlotte, FL
Lesley was amazing! We were looking for some property to buy for a future 2nd home. Lesley was extremely knowledgeable, experienced and knew the area so well. Her expertise really put us at ease. She was so helpful, it took away any stress or worry we initially had. This was the first time we'd ever bought vacant land. I can't say enough about what a pleasure it was, working with Lesley!

Warren & Wendy Clements, a buyer from Charlotte County, FL
Lesley goes above and beyond of what I had expected. She was knowledgeable of the market and informative to the point of no surprises. She was instrumental in helping us find the home and making it happen. Her expertise didnt end with the sale as she provided us with service companies to repair and maintain our property. I like the way she was on top of things and communicated with us throughout the whole process. Lesley makes home purchasing a lot easier. Im glad we found her through a referral from friends.

Jonathan Smith, a buyer from North Port, FL
My wife found Lesley Barton approximately 1 year ago. Lesley was with us every step of the way from start to finish. Lesley is extremely knowledgeable and knows the SW area of Florida like the back of her hand. Lesley fought for us and will fight for you! Highly recommended with the experience and know how.

Staci Hangey, a buyer from Port Charlotte, FL
I recently purchased 2 additional lots through Lesley and as always, she saw this effort through to the end. This purchase was particularly difficult due to the lots having 2 separate owners, one of which was a no budge, buyer pays for title costs. She hooked me up with a solid title company at a reasonable cost. I used Lesley in the past and will use her in the future once building commences. She is extremely busy but never too busy to ensure her clients are kept up to date on status and sticks with it to see the sale goes through. She is a hard working, knowledgeable agent who goes above and beyond for her clients.

Bonnie Vest, a seller from Port Charlotte, FL
Leslie was Fantastic! She got $30,000 over asking price on our home by setting up a 3 day bidding war (bring your highest offer)
She told us the best way to stage our home. She sent her Top Photographer to take the Best pics! Shes actually on 2 MLSs so her listings reach more people! She was in contact with us throughout the process! I would definitely use her again!

Todd Young, a buyer from Punta Gorda, FL
We were interested in purchasing a home in Punta Gorda but lived out of state. The current market made it seem impossible to pull off until we contacted Leslie. She walked us through the process. At each step she contacted the service providers we needed. For example, what does insurance cost on a particular home? In 24 hrs. Leslie had us three quotes. She also had the contacts to get quotes and ultimately service providers to fix the issues from the home inspection report. She stayed in close contact with us and ALWAYS returned calls immediately. I didn't have to research anything. I forwarded all my questions to her and she found the answers. It took most of the stress out of the process. She even follows up with you after the closing to continue making the transition to the area an easier process. I feel she definitely earned her money.

Anonymous, a buyer from Punta Gorda, FL
Leslie has a vast knowledge of the area, construction, flood levels, etc. We were out of state buyers and she made sure we made a sound decision. She is not overbearing but instead educated us on differences we may not have known about the locality. She went above and beyond with insurance quotes, repair estimates, and lender selections. She worked with all of these folks to make sure all was done. I cannot recommend her enough! Superstar Realtor!

Kyle Porter, a buyer from North Port, FL
This is the third property I have bought with Lesley. She provides me with all of the information I need to make educated decisions throughout the whole home buying process.

Kay Frost, a seller from Port Charlotte, FL
As trustee of a CA trust which held a home in FL, I needed a professional that could be an honest, straightforward, and capable individual to do everything necessary to get the house sold at a fair price.
This was no small task- the house had been held for 15 years and had not been maintained. Doors didn't lock, sliding doors fell off tracks, too many dogs had ruined carpeting, the pool heater was broken, and the house was dirty. Lesley assessed the condition of the house and pool and recommended professionals I needed to improve the home so that it could be sold. She gave me SEVEN professional's names and numbers, each one gave excellent service, promptly. They included a professional cleaner, door repair, pool inspection and repair, plumber, electrician, drywaller, and probate attorney. This woman has the years of experience and connections that exemplify the ideal professional realtor!

Kathryn Wallace, a seller from Punta Gorda, FL
I am a local attorney in Charlotte County. Lesley did a wonderful job selling my clients home for the highest price. She made the experience easy for the them. She worked well with both attorneys involved and always kept us fully informed in the process. She would immediately return my phone call or email as well as my clients phone call. Lesley went above and beyond for my clients in this difficult time. I would absolutely recommend her and will use her services again in the future.

Mario Turchio, a seller from Punta Gorda, FL
Had about 15 realtors talk to me 2 years ago trying to make me sell for a lower price not concerned about me but their commissions. Then i met Lesley who went above and beyond to help me out with my needs. She listened and delivered no nonsense approach.

Shelly Eriksen, a buyer from Punta Gorda, FL
I have dabbled with real estate strictly as a consumer and have never met a realtor like Lesley. She was referred by a friend and I am so grateful for that. I cannot say enough to express how great she is! Buying property in a different state is difficult but Lesley made the process easy! I will always be forever grateful for her! I could list the reasons why but no need it was everything about the process. I looked at 11 properties in 2 days, it was a marathon but the end result I now have a beautiful home in Fla because of her and super happy
