This was our first time working with Leigh. We were not going to settle with anything other than what we wanted to call home. Leigh rosed to the challenge and worked tirelessly with us for close to 2 years. It didn’t matter if it was weekend, late weekdays, she was always ready to help us.
Leigh took the personal experience approach to know us, our family, our background and not just a business transaction. In my book, this is a long term wining strategy to get to know your clients and grow the relationship to beyond the closing.
Leigh- We do thank you for helping us find our forever home as well as the professional and personal relationship you brought in to make our overall experience a great one.
Best,
Aziz family

"Joanna made the selling process simple, easy and flawless. She was very attentive to our needs and wants. She helped ease our minds throughout each part of the process. She went above and beyond the call of duty for a realtor. She was always available to answer any questions we had. I would highly recommend her to anyone I know! We would use her again!"

Leigh was amazing to work with during the process of buying and selling our home. From the very first time meeting her it is obvious that she truly has your best interest at heart. She is hardworking and so easy to get along with. The process of buying and selling can be overwhelming, but I always felt confident that things would work out because we had Leigh in our corner. I would highly recommend her to anyone!

From the very moment we chose Leigh to be our realtor to sell our previous home, and to buy our current home, we knew we made a perfect choice. She shared knowledgeable advice in helping us obtain top dollar for our previous home. And, secure the home of our dreams at a desirable price. Her professional networks are expansive, and she put us in contact with other professionals, including but not limited to, a mortgage broker, painter, and interior designer. Her professional recommendations were spot on. When purchasing our home, Leigh exhibited an acute sense to gather all of our wishes and hopes in what we want in a home, and made our dreams become a reality. Leigh always had our family’s best interest in the mind every step of the selling and buying process. Leigh’s strong work ethic, exceptional interpersonal communication skills, and the ability to persevere through any adversity along the way secured us everything we hoped for through this process. She helped quell any anxiety we may have had through what could have been a very stressful home buying/ selling process. We would strongly recommended Leigh Kaminsky for any and all real estate needs you may have.

Leigh was our realtor for both selling our townhouse in Bel Air and purchasing a beautiful new single family home in Jarrettsville. She was, quite simply, flawless. I would recommend Leigh to any friend or family member looking for a realtor, and if we did decide to move in the area, we'd certainly use her! **The Selling Process** Leigh started meeting with us 6 months before we were ready to sell our home. She provided us with fantastic feedback about what improvements would likely net us money back and which we could skip. When we were actually ready to list, she helped us stage the home to show it in the best light. She also helped us price the home right - we were able to sell for over asking and at a price we thought was out of reach. We became the most expensive house on our block! Leigh walked us through the various offers and the pros/cons of them (beyond the money of course) and helped us secure an offer that met every need we could have asked for. **The Buying Process** Leigh helped us purchase a beautiful new build home in Jarrettsville. We requested the builder add in a basement before closing. She was amazing and fantastic about communicating with all parties. While there were communication hiccups with the builder/their realtor, Leigh stayed on top of everyone (lender, title, builder, realtor) to make the closing process as smooth as possible. She helped us when we realized there would be a short period of time where we'd be between houses with figuring out how to make that work for our family (pod rental, air b&b). My husband and I have worked with realtors as this is not our first home purchase. Leigh exceeded our expectations and far surpassed every realtor we'd worked with previously.

Leigh was amazingly easy to work with for both the sale and purchase of our home! She is extremely hard working and goes above and beyond to ensure her clients are satisfied. I would (and do) recommend her to anyone looking for a real estate agent.

Working with Leigh to buy our new home was actually a bumpy ride - but Leigh made the process feel so incredibly smooth. Leigh is incredibly responsive and thorough, getting us all of the information we needed to make decisions in a very timely manner. She completely nailed the difficult negotiations and appraisal, had the inspections and settlement set-up, and made the entire process so easy for us. We would absolutely work with Leigh again and recommend her 100%!

Leigh Kaminsky is amazing! As a first time homebuyer, I could not have asked for a better realtor. From our first meeting Leigh made me feel very comfortable and left me feeling that she genuinely had my best interest at heart. She made sure I was fully informed and comfortable during my home buying process from start to finish. Leigh also referred me to other members of her team that worked with us during different phases. I can honestly say Leigh and her team are absolutely amazing and I cannot thank them enough. If you’re in search of a realtor to assist you with your home buying process, I absolutely recommend Leigh! She genuinely cares about her clients :)

Tracey was our realtor as a first time home buyer, then again six years later to sell that home and find our new one. I can truly attest that she is the best! She works so hard for her clients and knows her stuff! When it came to selling our home and finding a new one with a three year old and a new born baby in tow, I have to admit I was overwhelmed by it all. She made the process so easy and always went above and beyond for us. I highly recommend Tracey Walker and would choose her again and again!

Leigh made this process very easy. I feel lucky that we found her to facilitate our home purchase. She listened to us and was very attentive to our needs and preferences. When we decided we really liked the Havre de Grace area she made sure to help us look for houses in that area. She was very careful of the fact that we wanted to avoid an HOA. In addition to helping us find a wonderful house, she helped us find a lender, and insurance agent, an inspection company, movers and a handyman. These were all people and companies she had worked with in the past for a very long time and as a result, the purchase went very smoothly. She walked us through the whole process and was very responsive to all of our questions.

Leigh was truly fantastic, start to finish, during our home buying and selling experience. She went above and beyond what
I would expect of a realtor. She did most of the "middle-man" work that I had to do myself in the past. She performed a vast
majority of the communication and coordination associated with my lender, home insurance agent, titling agent, and even the
handymen we hired to work on our existing home. Her knowledge of the market helped us sell our home for asking
price quicker than I could have imagined. Even after settlement, she is still checking up to make sure things are going well
for us.
I highly recommend Leigh for your realtor needs. Not only did we find an awesome realtor, we found a friend for life

There aren’t enough positive words in the dictionary to describe Leigh. To be honest I wish I had more homes to close on to be able to continue working with her. I never imagined that a real estate agent could create an atmosphere where you feel like you are part of a dynamic duo with a mission in mind to make your dreams come true.
Leigh has an uncanny ability to make you feel like you are her only client and her only focus regardless of how many clients she is working with. She was available whenever I needed her and I am amazed by how professional, caring, and simply wonderful to interact with. Even though I was faced with significant third party issues that threatened the purchase of the new home, Leigh was there, working tirelessly to make sure it all worked out.
If you want a trustworthy, hardworking, intelligent, caring, and simply amazing agent; choose Leigh! Thank you Leigh for the late nights you worked, the thought and concern you showed, and how wonderful you made the process regardless of the issues we faced from a third party. 10 stars to you!

Tracey helped me buy a house 7 yrs ago and is currently helping me buy my next, as I am downsizing. She is an excellent agent with all the knowledge, energy, wisdom and forethought to get you through the buying or selling process. Her great sense of humor, patience, great people skills, empathy and positivity go a long way in taking the burden of stress off of you and making it enjoyable. She will have your back from first showing/listing till closing. If you're looking to buy or sell you cannot do better than this agent! Happy house hunting!

Leigh is not only a fantastic realtor, but she is a lovely human being !! She is so incredibly caring and sweet. She helped me sell and buy in one of the strangest markets I’ve ever sold/bought and was so encouraging throughout. Always answered any questions I had and was so flexible with her schedule. Very knowledgeable and professional. Highly recommend.

Leigh Kaminsky is one of those agents that you could trust on and rely on. She is very patient, available any time of the day, and she gives you lots of good information on house buying or selling. I had agent in the past who delayed our offer in order for her cousin/friend put the offer in first. Leigh is not one of those agents at all. I am happy and thankful for what she did for us. Even now, she follows up with us and offers help once you ask.

Leigh was absolutely amazing throughout this whole process! We met at the end of December and I immediately let her know that me and my family were hoping to get into a home within a couple of months since I am due with a baby on March 20th. Leigh never once made us feel like she was only helping us because it was her job. She was always honest, helpful, and became a friend to us. Even in today’s crazy market, she made it possible for us to look at as many houses as we could till we found the perfect one for our family. She always made time for us, very quick to respond to any of our questions and concerns, and just all around kind and genuine. We absolutely adored working with Leigh! We will always recommend her to any of our family and friends and if we ever need anything in the future, Leigh will be the one we go to!

We couldn't be happier with the help we received from the Sandra Hopkins Team. We looked at several houses in Havre de Grace before choosing the one we purchased. Sandra negotiated a 3 month rental which allowed us to get our previous home on renovated and sold. Every step of the way, Sandra and her team were helpful with the home inspection, maintenance issues, getting a mortgage, and settlement. Sandra also has great recommendations for contractors and service people for the work we plan on this house. Thank you Sandra Hopkins Team!

Leigh is by far the most amazing, organized, caring and knowledgeable person. She made our buying a new home experience by far the easiest as she went way above and beyond what a realtor does. She was always available for us and had multiple ways to contact her. She made the whole process of moving so easy and smooth. She did all the real work and we pretty much did nothing except enjoy the experience even with having two young kids that were all over the place she helped us still enjoy the experience by making it stress free. No real words can experience how amazing she is and we also not only had the most amazing realtor but gained a friend out of this experience that we will never forget. No matter how busy she was we never knew she was busy due to her being always available when we needed her. Also the online service that is provided for signing for documents made life so easy during the home buying process. We can’t thank her enough for what she did for us. She is the realtor you want when buying and or selling. She listens to everything you say and takes that into consideration when it comes to helping you find your dream come true home.

Leigh was really wonderful in helping us to buy our house. When we started, we knew nothing about real estate in the area in which we were looking and weren't sure what we wanted. Leigh was really helpful in helping us decide where to look and what to look at. She was extremely responsive always answering texts and calls immediately. And she was willing to work with our schedule which meant evenings and weekends

Leigh Kaminsky is the perfect realtor in my eyes. As a first time homebuyer, Leigh exceeded my expectations of what I was even looking for in a realtor. She was responsive by either, text, call, or email. She paid attention to what requirements my boyfriend Doug & I requested for what we wanted in a house. She was flexible and accommodating with showing Doug and I houses! She spoke up when she felt a house wasn’t the right fit in an appropriate manner. She even took the time to thoroughly go through a contract, since I didn’t know anything about them. She was extremely thoughtful by mailing hand written letters which meant the world to me. Most importantly, I asked for Leigh’s advice in regards to neighborhood comps & putting in an offer on a house, I’m glad I listened to her because if not I wouldn’t have bought my dream house. The best part is, this house is not just a starter house, I can have a family here and that is more than I ever could have asked for. I would not hesitate to use Leigh again and refer her to others.

Leigh was fabulous to work with. She worked hard to understand our specific needs and what we didn't and didn't like about properties to help strategize in a competitive market. As a family with two small children, Leigh helped us make sure our children were a part of the process. Leigh was always available by email or text and worked to make sure showings aligned with our school, work, and travel constraints. During the process, we discussed market considerations with Leigh to understand what conditions would make an attractive offer for sellers with terms we were comfortable with. Overall, Leigh was wonderful and we would highly recommend her!

We interviewed several realtors before we listed our home in a high-demand market. While any of these realtors would have done a great job, Marty just stood out from the start. She was confident, professional, personable and candid. She had done her homework with comps and background on our house. When she proposed the selling price, she had detailed reasons to back it up. She took a totally different tactic than the others we interviewed. She was confident she could get the price and that the house would appraise – because she makes it a habit to personally attend all of her clients’ appraisals to point out the home’s amenities. Before the house went on the market, Marty worked with us to update a few areas that would add value to the sale, like new lighting fixtures and fresh paint in the foyer. She arranged the photographer and tended to all the details of making the house look like it was right out of a homes magazine. She was extremely respectful of our time and our home, she kept us in the loop at all times, and she understood our requirements for a buyer. The house sold within two days. She walked us through the multiple offers we received and negotiated the best contract for us. The final deal was not only well above listing price, but it also addressed our timeline and rent-back requests. Marty was truly working for us to get the right buyer. She is excellent and it was a pleasure to work with her.

Leigh has been our agent for 2 sales and 2 purchases and we cannot say enough good things about her and her team. Both of our listings had multiple offers and went for over asking price. She has consistently made helpful and knowledgeable recommendations and her knowledge of local contractors and resources is top notch. This last move was a pretty stressful one for us and she got us from contract to the closing table in 2 weeks!
