Business Philosophy

Lea has been a Realtor for over 30+ years, loves her career and says, “it’s so much more than a job.” She became a Realtor because of the negative experiences with Realtors she had in the past; she wanted clients to know there are great ones that offer positive experiences, and she wanted to be that Realtor. By going through her own challenges in life, it made her a more compassionate person and compelled her into bringing it into her career and making it a way of life. She believes a Realtor shouldn’t be ruthless but needs to be compassionate.

Once you meet Lea, her southern charm will capture you! She is very trustworthy as her previous clients will tell you and is a respected and trusted member of her community. The relationships she builds are long-lasting even after the closing. Her clients comment on how glad they are that she isn’t pushy, and they don’t feel pressured. Lea is grounded in her work, honest, caring, understanding and flexible. Buying and selling can be emotional and she has great respect for the process. She is very patient and will walk through it with you, one step at a time. Rest assured Lea works to very high standards and will always do her best. To be a good buying agent you must be a good listener and if a client can’t afford what they want you must be honest. Lea enjoys working with first-time home buyers and being a part of their excitement because they are purchasing their first home. She has established a network of professionals to assist with the process - mortgage officers, attorneys and other Realtor affiliates.

If you are looking to purchase a home, Lea will help you find your dream home and negotiate the lowest price possible on your behalf. If you are looking to sell your home and want a motivated Realtor, then look no further; she will help you sell it at the highest price in the shortest time span. Lea is proactive with the Board of Realtors and what that affords is being on top of current market trends and she is highly involved with Eastern Connecticut Association of Realtors.
