Meet Rachel

What’s your role? Director

How long have you worked at Leslie & Co? Since mid-2020.

What makes your agency special / outstanding / different?  We care about our clients and the people we are moving.

How long have you worked in the estate agent industry? Since 2011.

How long have you lived in the local area? I have always been a South West Londoner. Now I am in Ealing, I don’t think I’ll ever leave! I love the parks, the architecture, and the closeness to central London.

Describe your approach to work in three words. Optimistic, personal, loyal.

How do you think your colleagues would describe you?  A glass half FULL kind of person.

What’s the best part of your job? Meeting the new owners on their completion day with presents and gifts and welcoming them to their new home.

What’s the biggest challenge you face in your role? The negative perception of estate agents. We set up Leslie & Co to do things differently and show people we’re not the stereotypical type of agency.

If you could give one tip to homeowners preparing to sell their property, what would it be? Staging! I absolutely think cushions, throws, candles, and making the beds, make all the difference!

Personal

How do you relax away from the office? Shopping, running, socialising, going to theatre with friends.

If you hadn’t worked in the estate agent industry what would have been your dream job? When I was younger, I wanted to be a weather girl.

Do you have a hidden talent / hobby you are passionate about? I wouldn’t call it a talent but at university I was a cheerleader.

What’s your favourite local place and why? I love Gunnersbury Park, you’re in the middle of London but it’s so green and secluded! I could spend hours simply strolling around.

Complete the sentence: I love working at Leslie & Co Because: I work alongside my best friend every day (Paul, not Daphne our dog, although….).
