Leslie did an amazing job helping us purchase our new home in Charleston! We came to Leslie as out of state buyers in a fast moving market and we would not have been able to secure the home we did without her knowledge and expertise. Leslie was super efficient, responding to texts and emails quickly... even nights and weekends. She has a great deal of knowledge of the Charleston area and did the research to find homes that matched what we were looking for. Because we were working from out of state, much of our business had to be completed via email or phone. Leslie was always timely and thorough in providing the information we needed to make decisions. When we traveled from out of state, she accommodated our schedule and even assisted with helping with recommendations for other services, businesses etc. we were looking for with our move. Leslie is a true professional, ethical, and reliable - we highly recommend!

"I had such a great experience working with Leslie on the purchase of a vacation home. She is smart, personable, responsive, and kind. She is also almost inexhaustible, one day she probably showed us twelve properties in a row. She made the purchase process so easy for us and we were lucky to find her. The icing on the cake is she has a Pay It Forward program where she donates a portion of her commission to a worthy non-profit. Talk about the whole package. Leslie is a wonderful Realtor!"

Melanie Lovell, Charleston SC

"I am here to tell you that you could not ask for a better agent than Leslie Tester. My husband and I recently had the opportunity to both sell property, and then buy a home. It was a long and arduous process-there were several times that it seemed the deals would collapse. Leslie pulled us through each and every obstacle. I can't imagine what it would have been like if Leslie had not been there to offer her expertise. Both of our deals ended quite successfully.

Leslie is really everything one would want in an agent. She is very calm, extremely knowledgeable, always available for questions and concerns, and has the uncanny ability to be both gentle and firm at the same time. We always felt supported, protected, and informed. I cannot imagine having a better advocate! I highly recommend Leslie for all of your real estate needs."

"My husband & I have been volunteers at the Charleston Animal Society for almost five years. When we heard Leslie would donate part of her commission to CAS, we definitely were interested in talking with her. We had planned on interviewing at least three realtors before we made a decision. Leslie was the first realtor we met AND she was the last. After talking with her we immediately knew we had found the person we wanted to sell our house.

Leslie is very dedicated to her clients. We always knew she put us first and was available any time we had questions or concerns. She made us very comfortable every step of the way, and when we had questions she was quick to explain things. She is the utmost professional, and we would recommend her to anyone without hesitation.

We are thrilled our house has sold, and even happier CAS will receive a donation to help the animals. Whether you are a dog or cat person-Leslie should be THE person you call to sell your home."

Jo Robbins, Charleston SC

"Leslie was my realtor in the selling of my home in Mt. Pleasant. I liked her from the moment I met her and trusted her completely. I found my early impressions to be on point. She answered all texts and calls almost immediately. Her manner is very calm and reassuring no matter the situation, but this should not be confused with disinterest. I knew I was in competent hands. About four days prior to my closing there was an issue I feared might prevent my scheduled closing. She communicated with all parties our solution and this was eagerly accepted. My home closed without any serious issues. Leslie is very competent, kind, and very sincere. Best realtor I have ever had the occasion to use, and I recommend her highly!"

Cindy Roberts, Mt. Pleasant, SC

"Leslie was amazing! She made the process as stress-free as possible, she was super-patient with all of my rookie questions, and has established connections for all things house buying. Awesome lady both personally and professionally."

Kelly Brown, Summerville, SC

"I contacted Leslie initially based on the positive referrals of friends, and couldn't have been more satisfied with the process. Leslie gave me excellent guidance, unflagging availability, and deep knowledge about a wide range of homes we looked at. She helped me find a home in a competitive market that fit all my needs in cost, livability, and long-term family goals. If we were to move, I wouldn't hesitate to work with Leslie again or give her anything but the highest recommendation!"

Abby Matthews, Charleston, SC

Stan Winder, Charleston, SC

"Loved working with Leslie! She was very easy to be around, never pushy, and always thoughtful. Anything we asked about, she would look into and get back to us."

Mark Joseph Doll, Charleston, SC

"I would recommend Leslie to others for her professionalism and caring attitude. She always kept us informed and worked hard to give us a wonderful experience!"

Kimberly Allston, Hollywood, SC

"Leslie did a wonderful job helping our family. We had multiple offers on our home the 2nd day it was listed for sale. She negotiated the sale of our home and purchase of our new home, and we closed on both the same day. She was great!"

Lynn & Christopher P., Charleston, SC

"We love our new home, and feel so blessed! Leslie shared great options and diligently worked with us throughout the process, even "after hours" when we needed to make an offer ASAP. Leslie kept us informed, looked out for us, and made our home-buying experience easier. There isn't anything she cannot do! We are thankful, and look forward to new adventures in our home."

Janet & Justin Lerch, Charleston, SC

"Our experience buying a home through Leslie Tester was nothing short of excellent. Leslie guided us through the difficult and lengthy process with kindness and professionalism, all while communicating well about the status of our home. The level of service we received was unmatched, and her friendly and calming demeanor made every step of the process significantly less intimidating. We would highly recommend Leslie Tester to any prospective home buyers, first time or experienced, you will be well taken care of."

"Working with Leslie couldn't have been a better experience for me & my family! We started the journey of selling our home during some of the hardest shut-down days of the Covid-19 crisis, yet Leslie expertly led us through the process. She was available to answer all of our questions, & made an extra effort to stay in contact with us about listing our home. She is very knowledgeable about the Charleston real estate market, & was a much-needed support through this process. We loved working with her!!!"

Paul Crook, Charleston, SC

"Thank you so much for all of your hard work and dedication in helping us to sell our home! We really appreciate you going above and beyond! We have recommended you to our friends in the future. Thanks again!"

The Fagerburgs, Charleston SC

Professionalism seems to be a lost art but not with Leslie! She is knowledgeable, professional and more than excellent with communication between all parties. Her involvement continues even after the sale! We listed at her recommendation at a price we were very happy with, photos were taken and when viewing I commented I wanted to purchase the house. We sold and closed quickly receiving an excellent price for our home. Would use Leslie again if opportunity presents itself!

Patti Classen, Charleston SC

"My only regret is having not known Leslie Tester years ago starting with our first purchase. Anyone meeting Leslie Tester for the first time would find her highly credible in not only understanding one's needs and requirements, but also her wealth of local knowledge. Still, that is not enough for me. Trust is everything in any kind of relationship, and Leslie Tester's integrity tops my list. So when she makes a recommendation how to move a property, I do it, and find she was right on the money."
