Leslie helps people gain the hope of such possibilities by providing tools proven to yield successful and fulfilling results.

During Leslie's childhood, her family moved so often she went to nine different schools. Because of that, she never really identified with a place called "home." Therefore, when she purchased her first home, at twenty-three, she not only felt a sense of stability, she wanted to spread the news to everyone that ownership was possible for the same amount as rent. She later became a real estate agent.

Unfortunately, what was going on within her home, was not always stable at all. She soon realized a house meant nothing without the love within. Leslie understands the importance of a peaceful home. She believes the home should be the place to retreat from stress; not the cause of it, and that the relationship between the husband and wife sets the tone. Now happy in a new home and healthy relationship, Leslie hopes for everyone's home to be the ultimate comfort zone.

Other than spending time with friends and family, she enjoys quiet moments on the beach and being creative at home to provide a comfort zone for all who reside and visit.  She is The Coach for R.E.A.L, providing real estate and love solutions after you say "I do."

Join her Facebook group, The Home Sweet Comfort Zone: Where Relationships Win, for community support for enhancing relationships and the real estate that houses them.  #RelationshipsandRealEstate.

Does any of this sound familiar?

  • You've been married for awhile but things just aren't going the way you hoped
  • You have tried communicating the issues with your spouse, or fixing what's wrong, but you have yet to get the results you want
  • You're spinning your wheels in fix-it mode and it's exhausting
  • Your spouse is no longer interested in working on  fixing the marriage, and on top of that, he or she is not interested in what you have to say
  • You look at other happy couples and wish you could get back to what it used to be or better
  • Your spouse is running, but you're trying to hold on
  • You just don't know how to turn things around
  • You feel hopeless and unloved
  • You feel overwhelmed and confused
  • You do not want a divorce
  • Or maybe you're the one who's thinking about leaving because you don't know what else to do

Relationship Restoration

Have you thought to yourself that your relationship is beyond repair? Well, that's not necessarily true until you quit.

That is what people tell themselves when everything they've tried just isn't working or when their spouse is no longer willing to try.
That's understandable!

But,
what if I told you that you alone  can make a difference? What if you were able to find out HOW?
Leslie's clients have learned how to transform a marriage that once looked beyond repair. Even when a spouse has checked out, and one is fighting alone, a couple can still win together.
