WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY

Where to begin by describing our experience having Leslie Lawson of Ignite Real Estate with her team sell our home. Everything from the start, which was a whirlwind since we had found a new home already putting a contingent offer on it and leaving for a long holiday which was previously scheduled. Within 6 days Leslie had the photographer and home inspector (per our choice) completed with the house up ...

WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY

We LOVE Leslie Lawson!! We cannot say enough good things about Leslie and her team. Leslie was referred to us by our family members after she helped them sell their home and purchase a new home. I wish we could have met Leslie when we bought our first home because she is amazing. This was the first time we had ever sold a home and going into the sale, we were pretty nervous. Leslie put us at ease through...

WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY

Leslie Lawson is, hands down, the BEST Realtor® you could ever want! She’s extremely prompt, diligent, full of energy, and an absolute pleasure with whom to work. She helped me buy my first home- a beautiful condo in Temecula- in March 2018 and managed to close escrow in just 21 days! Then, after recently having gotten married, my husband and I reached out to her to see about selling our condo and buying...

WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY

Leslie is AH MAZ ING! WOW! We did it! In a unprecedented time too! The pandemic literally hit and affected EVERYTHING the day after we accepted a OVER asking price for our home! From step 1 through the final step it was a breeze. We hit the market on a Wednesday, had a open house that weekend and accepted a offer on Monday. We woke up every day holding our breath as we just didn’t know if the buyers were...

WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY

Leslie was amazing!!!! Selling our home during a pandemic was very stressful for our family. She was our Realtor® and counselor along the whole process. We don’t know how she managed the busy schedule she has but she was always a text, a phone call or a visit away for us. The marketing of the house was awesome. Leslie came with a team that was efficient and professional. The finished package was done wit...

WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY

"Leslie Lawson and her team made selling our home seamless from beginning to end. We had already moved overseas and that was not a problem for them at all.
