Tom and I grew up in the San Francisco Bay area enjoying its rich cultural diversity and great educational opportunities. Just a few months after our wedding, we moved to Hawai`i. There we raised two sons on our hillside farm, Wainiha Nursery and Landscaping. Tom's green thumb created a beautiful, colorful sight, full of tropical plants, flowers and rare palms. Always work to do, it was a good environment to raise our boys.
Additionally, as Founders, Directors and Teachers of the Aloha School of Hanalei, we stayed busy supporting the community and being a part of the Aloha Spirit found on the Island of Kaua`i. The Aloha School is still in operation today and ran by our colleagues and friends that helped us to get started years ago. Our philosophy then and now is, "It's the relationship that counts."
While on vacationing in Sedona, we were captured by the Red Rocks and returned many times with our family until we were finally able to call Arizona home. There is a strong, independent spirit here, under starry skies above, in remarkable Arizona.
Like many of our clients who have moved to the Verde Valley, I am grateful every day to live in this special, magical place. Hidden treasures are around every corner and the people friendly and peaceful. It is the perfect place to improve one's health and well-being.
Now with over 20 years of Real Estate experience, I am enjoying the opportunities that Coldwell Banker Realty Sedona provides me. I have had a wide variety of successful transactions, from homes and vacant land in Jerome, to cabins in Oak Creek Canyon, to luxury homes in Sedona, to horse property in Cornville and to new and resale homes at Verde Santa Fe.
I have been lucky for the privilege of living here and can't wait to show you the sweeping vistas and the big splash of color in the sunrises and sunsets. It is just a zip to many restaurants, hikes, cultural activities, shopping and entertainment. The Grand Canyon is just a day trip away!
Having been in your shoes, I stand ready to help you follow the dream of enjoying your changing lifestyle in the Southwest or your next adventurous destination. My job is to help you have a great experience buying or selling property. I will be there for you every step of the way and look forward to saying, "Welcome home to the awe inspiring Verde Valley."
Aloha mau a mau (Aloha forever),
Leslie
