Leslie Brenowitz, Compass — Local services in Washington

Leslie helped my partner and I make our first home purchase. She would be the first realtor I would recommend should any of my family or friends be in need of the services of a realtor in DC or Maryland.

During our initial interviews and discussions with Leslie, we appreciated her patience, attention to detail, and poise. She was more than willing to teach us the process of seeing and buying a home. She made it a point to check in with us at each step to ensure we understood all the key terms and details. Our home search was focused in neighborhoods in Northwest DC; time and again, Leslie demonstrated thorough knowledge of the neighborhoods and nearby venues.

Above all else, she evidenced her professionalism in following through in all matters of the closing process.

We would gladly recommend her to anyone considering her services in...

Leslie helped us with our search for a house in DC -- while we lived in Montreal. She was awesome, and her work was irreproachable.

We often had to bring our newborn baby and sometimes all three small kids, and Leslie was always very patient accommodating of any breaks/extra stops we needed to make. We are very grateful to Leslie and love our house and...

What a pleasure it was to work with Leslie. I was looking for a house in DC and wanted someone who knew the city. She knows it very well, and in the areas I was looking at, she knows the neighborhood pros and cons and even block by block. I warned her I was picky and she was very patient, much of the time with me learning and refining what was right for me with her scouring the listings in an extremely tight market. She even helped target individual homeowners on specific streets I decided were great for me. She offered great strategic advice to get to a winning offer, stayed close through closing with regular updates on my tasks getting to settlement, and continued to follow up with bits including insights from the previous owners even after closing. Bottom line—great service from a great agent with me now in a...
