Hello from Lesli

When my husband suffered a critical surfing accident at Torrance Beach several years ago, I learned first-hand the importance of a strong and supportive community. It was then that I realized what a truly special place the South Bay is, and I knew I wanted to share it with others. My real estate career was launched soon after.


Living and raising my own family in the South Bay, I understand the distinct nuances of the various communities and appreciate the many benefits of living here, including wonderful schools, unmatched weather, and most importantly, incredible people.


My MBA, with an Emphasis in Marketing, and the 20+ years I spent providing sales and marketing expertise to local and global clients in the corporate world, give me a competitive edge that I use to my clients' advantage.


I recognize and value the trust my clients place in me, and I try every day to exceed their expectations. My commitment to each of them is to listen attentively, work hard, and follow-through. Treating clients like family is both a guiding principle and a way of life.


I look forward to serving you.
