ZillowVERIFIED Leslie was fantastic - from first meeting when she shared so much of her insight into the selling process and her clarity of the market we were entering, to her handling of the offer two weeks later that met our price. Her team were very organized and transparent and helped us all the way through to close. The best decision we made was partnering with Leslie. Recommend without hesitation.

ZillowVERIFIED Our family first bought and sold a home through Leslie at RE/MAX about 10 years ago. Even after the process, she kept in touch, always remembering birthdays and special occasions, which left us with such a warm impression that we turned to her again when it was time to look for a new home. This time, we worked with Ms. Joan , who guided us for almost three years until we found the perfect house. We were also able to sell our previous home smoothly through him. The RE/MAX team was incredibly fast, accurate, and professional with everythingaEUR"paperwork, showings, photography, inspectionsaEUR"and their responsiveness gave us complete trust. Their work was so seamless that I would happily recommend them to friends and family. Having been both a buyer and a seller, I can say with confidence that Joan and the RE/MAX team always provided answers that were thoughtful, helpful, and in my best interest. Thank you again, Leslie and Joan!

ZillowVERIFIED Working with Leslie McDonnell and her team was the best decision we could have made when selling our home in Libertyville! From start to finish, Leslie was professional, knowledgeable, and deeply committed to making the process smooth and successful. Her experience and expertise in the market, strategic approach and excellent communication gave us confidence every step of the way. Leslies team is second to noneaEUR"responsive, efficient and genuinely caring. Every detail was handled with precision, and we felt supported throughout the entire process. Selling a home (especially one that youve loved for 38 years) can be stressful, but Leslie made it easy. If youre looking for a realtor who truly goes above and beyond, look no further than Leslie McDonnell and her team! We cant recommend her highly enough!

ZillowVERIFIED We had the most fantastic experience working with Liz Turnbaugh as we searched for a new home to downsize and be closer to Chicago. From the very beginning, Liz stood out with her professionalism, warmth, and unwavering dedication. Her diligence was the key to our success in finding the perfect ranch-style home in a highly competitive market. Liz took the time to truly understand our needs and unique circumstances. She was incredibly responsive, proactive, and always one step ahead in moving things forward. During a particularly intense negotiation, Liz went the extra mile to ensure we secured our dream home. From day one, she earned our trust and made us feel like she was fully on our team, advocating for us every step of the way. Her elite communication skills, prompt follow-up, and calming presence gave us peace of mind throughout the entire buying process. Lizs network of professionalsaEUR"from attorneys to local service providersaEUR"was top-notch, and her collaboration within The Leslie McDonnell Real Estate Team made the entire experience seamless. We also had the pleasure of selling our previous home with Liz, and that process was just as smooth. The teams attention to detailaEUR"from stunning twilight photography to expert staging adviceaEUR"made a huge difference. One of the twilight photos of our home is now one of our all-time favorites! Liz is an authentically caring person who truly advocates for her clients. Her kindness, patience, and problem-solving skills made all the difference. She was always available to answer our questions and guide us with care and confidence. We couldnt be happier with the outcome and are so grateful to Liz and the entire team. If youre looking to buy or sell your home, Liz Turnbaugh is the agent you want by your side. She is a true professional and a genuinely wonderful person. Highly, highly recommended!

ZillowVERIFIED Sheryl was the absolute BEST! She helped through the entire process and was always available! I truly believe it was because of her that we landed this beautiful home. This home posted and we called her right away to see it. We were at the home within 3 hours of it posting because she is that great! She answered our questions every time we called and still continues to help us even after we purchased the home. I cannot say enough great things about the Sheryl and the Leslie McDonnell team! Highly recommend.

ZillowVERIFIED I had the good fortune to work with Liz july-august 2023 in search for my new home. After 23 years raising my family I was ready to downsize. Liz helped me explore different locations and home styles and we eventually found my 2 bedroom condo in the same community (Libertyville). I am very happy with my decision! Liz is with the Leslie McDonnell Remax team - they helped my with the steps to prepare my home for sale and complete the process.

ZillowVERIFIED Leslie is the best realtor we've ever worked with and we have moved around a lot! We have worked with Leslie twice now, most recently in October 2023. While thinking about moving to a milder climate in the next year or so, we decided to list our house to see what the market would bear. Leslie provided amazing suggestions and landed on a listing price that proved to be perfect. Within 24 hours of the sign going up on the lawn, we had three offers over asking price!! After we accepted one of the offers, we then needed to find a home in TN and we couldn't take Leslie with us, as much as we wanted to! She connected us with yet another amazing realtor down in TN (thanks to Leslie's nationwide reputation of speaking to and working with other realtors). From the day we accepted the offer on our house in IL to the day we headed down with the moving van to TN, it was four weeks! It was fast, but it was seamless and such a great experience. We HIGHLY recommend using Leslie and her team for any sale or purchase you are considering!

ZillowVERIFIED We are so glad that we worked with Leslie and her team to sell our home. Leslie understood the housing marking in our area, and we followed her recommendations to prepare the house for sale with a great result. In addition to knowledge and professionalism, Leslie and her support team and associates were friendly and kind through the whole process. We moved out of state, and everything was efficiently handled for us by Leslie and her team members even while we were commuting. They really took care of everything and went above and beyond. We had an excellent experience working with Leslie and would highly recommend to anyone looking to sell or purchase a home.

ZillowVERIFIED Deborah and the whole team at Leslie McDonnell are just a cut above the rest. The service is unmatched and every member of the staff treats you like their only customer. Deborah helped me find my place back in 2019, so there was no question I'd be calling her again to help me sell it. They take care of EVERYTHING. They take the time to walk you through the process step by step and answer all of your questions along the way. Most of all, that have your best interests at heart. Go with Deborah and go with her team! You will not be disappointed!

ZillowVERIFIED Leslie McDonnell and her entire Team are nothing short of spectacular in every detail from start to finish. We have multiple property transactions with her Team over decades and would not have considered anyone else. Nor would we not hesitate to recommend her, and the dedicated Team, to anyone looking to make the sale of their property the easiest it could be. Whether you are working with Leslie herself or her select staff of very competent agents, you know you are getting the absolute best the area has to offer. Regardless, the team behind the screens that handles all the details to keep the process moving, completed, and painless are what makes the entire process the reason you chose Leslie to begin with. What you will find will be a comprehensive presentation of facts related to your property, the market, trends, and reality of what your upcoming experience is likely to be. Dont doubt it and come to reality because she is spot on. She doesnt over sell or quick sell your dream! You can pick another agent for that letdown. At the end of the day (closing), you can pop the cork and celebrate, knowing what you just went through was the best it could be.

ZillowVERIFIED THANK YOU LESLIE for having a thorough and well thought out process in place, covering every aspect of selling a house. Being first time in the market to sell our house, we were worried and anxious. Leslie, you made us feel at ease and helped us every step of the way. We loved you from the day you walked into our home. You came well prepared and were well informed of the market and the neighborhood we were in. We were amazed by your attention to detail, recommended list price of our home, estimated closing cost, timing of putting the house in the market, to name a few. You and your team (Michelle and Jasmine) have been so wonderful keeping us informed. Whenever we needed to talk to you, you always made time for us and never rushed the conversation. We always felt important to you that made us feel special and we thank you for that. It is because of you Leslie we were able to sell our house quickly at a price we never imagined. Leslie you are the BEST!!! Thank you to JASMINE and MICHELLE for the care and attention you gave us and the loving words you say in all your communications. You both were on top of things which was so helpful and provided us the needed information in every step of the home selling process. Even though you both were busy, you still made time to answer our questions and explained clearly what to anticipate. We are very grateful for that.

ZillowVERIFIED We cant say enough about the the experience we had selling our home with this team!! From beginning to end the attention to detail was impeccable! We always thought that we had someone a mere text, email or phone call away that was ready to answer any questions along the way. The negotiations were handled very professionally and we felt like we had Leslies undivided attention throughout. Her years of experience was felt as we worked to seek the highest and best for our home. The on point marketing helped us sell our home in only 3 days, with multiple offers! The virtual tour really brought out the features of our home.The support continued throughout the inspection and closing. Her staff is amazing! Again, we cant say enough about them! There is someone there to handle every aspect of the process. I feel very comfortable recommending Leslie and her team to anyone. We couldnt have chosen a better group to sell our home!

ZillowVERIFIED We had been looking for a house for months independently until we met Liz Turnbaugh at an open house. She was extremely friendly, listened to what we wanted, and was proactive immediately through sending us listings that same night. Liz made the process smoother through having access to exclusive listings, sent us frequent updates of houses, and was quick on setting up appointments for us based on our availability. We appreciated Lizs effort and assistance in helping us find our home. Once we put in a successful offer and went under contract the whole Leslie McDonnel Team was a big help. Jessica sent us frequent e-mails of helpful tips and things to keep in-mind to help keep us organized during the process. Another fantastic perk of the team was being able to use their moving truck for free! We were very happy with our decision to use the team and would most definitely use them again for another purchase or sale. Thanks again!

ZillowVERIFIED Buying during this pandemic wasnt easy. Liz was patient as I looked in many different areas with a lot of different criterias. She would send me homes before I would see them at times. When I wanted to see one, she always seemed to be available for a quick showing. She moved fast and was very knowledgeable of the market. She never made me feel crazy or like I was wasting her time. If I wasnt sure about a place, shed say- ok lets start over! She didnt make me feel pressured at all, which was so helpful when the market was giving me enough pressure. During negotiations, she got it done. It wasnt an easy process but she was patient and worked well with the sellers agent. I'm now a first time homeowner thanks to Liz and Leslie McDonnells ReMax team! I even got to use their free truck to move things in after!

ZillowVERIFIED Leslie and her staff were great help to us from start to finish. She came to our initial meeting with tons of information and insight, and took the time to listen to us and clearly detail how she could meet our objectives. We were fortunate that we got an offer quickly and Leslie successfully negotiated a great price. She was also helpful with resources for some of the inspection items we needed to address. Jasmine, Jessica and all of Leslies staff were also very responsive and helpful. They helped the process move smoothly all the way through closing. A big plus since we had already moved out of state.
