Leila Bowie - Testimonials

Tell Us Your Story

"Leila was an amazing realtor to work with.

She made our first time home buying experience as smooth as possible. She was very friendly, available, and always on top of everything. We always felt like she was looking out for us and our best interest. You can tell she has a lot of experience and expertise. We were able to find a new home rather quickly that we are very excited and confident about at a great price and deal. We could not recommend her highly enough."

"Recently purchased my first home and BOY did I love working with Leila Bowie.

She is such a joy--very professional and was very invested in me and what I was specifically looking for. She really took a specific interest in the project and was a joy to work with. She also was very kind and helpful to me as a first time home buyer as I asked a lot of basic questions about the process. She really knows her stuff. I highly recommend Leila to anyone and everyone."

Because we were out of town sellers, Leila's job was more complicated than most.

She was very attentive to checking regularly on our home so that it always showed well. Leila went the extra mile, such as blowing leaves from our deck before a showing. She communicated with us regularly and diplomatically suggested small changes or repairs that would help us move toward a sale. Leila is very organized and detail oriented, which is a great attribute for a real estate agent. I highly recommend Leila Bowie to all potential sellers.

"Leila exceeded our expectations during our first-ever home sale.

What we expected was an honest, courteous, professional, and knowledgeable agent; we got that and much more when we encountered some difficulties with the transaction. Leila became a fierce advocate for us, something we didn't anticipate we would need. Because of her expertise we sold our home in two days for more than we'd hoped for and closed in one month despite the bumps along the way. We highly recommend her!"

"Leila is such a special realtor!

I have worked with a few realtors previously but once I found Leila I never looked back, and I have now made two purchases and two sales with her help, over the last ten years. She makes the process so fun and personal, while also bringing so much knowledge and wisdom that I felt I could really focus on how a property would feel to me as a home. When we were buyers, Leila took such great care to understand us as people with specific tastes and needs, to make sure our search process was well tailored. She also took care to talk to the sellers' realtors in advance to make sure our viewings would happen the way we wanted them, so that we could concentrate on what mattered to us. When we were selling, her knowledge of the market and how to position our properties made us feel completely safe in her hands, but she always took care to make sure we were comfortable with all decisions. She advised us on small improvements that would help us sell, and even oversaw and coordinated the work. With Leila's help we have now sold two properties faster than expected at a higher price than we anticipated, and bought two wonderful homes, across ten years of a wonderful realtor relationship. Our most recent purchase is our dream house and while I love our house I am almost slightly sad because this probably means no more working with Leila! I wholeheartedly recommend Leila in the highest possible terms. She has expertise and experience, but she also really cares about the people in the process."

"Leila is a professional, knowledgeable agent and is an asset to anyone trying to sell or rent their property.

She found a good renter for my property in a short amount of time and was meticulous in every aspect of renting, selling, and showing the property. She is very thorough and explains everything in detail and I will definitely use her services when it's time to sell my place. Highly recommended."

"I wouldn't trust anyone but Leila with our home buying and selling needs.

She is amazing - very responsive, and helpful. Leila helped my husband and I sell our first house and buy our second. We loved the experience so much that we contacted her to help us sell our second home and buy our third!"

We met Leila 6 months before we listed property and actually vacated 3 months before.

We had our reasons and she respected that. In the mean time, she visited us 3 times, brought us tomatoes from her garden, and most importantly laid out her plan. She was very impressive and very likable. Also, good credentials and an understanding of the market and our community. We trusted our experience and instincts and knew we would hire her after first visit. Long story short, she knocked the ball completly out of the park; listed property 1/15/26 and had contract in hand 1/19/26. She told us in the summer what she thought property would sell for (high side) and was right on th money. Her work ethic and promises were above and beyond. We completely adore her and would recomend to anyone.....Leila Bowie..'You are a Real Pro and a Star'.

"Working with Leila was like working with an old friend who you trust completely, and who knows you almost better than you know yourself.

I had the pleasure of working with Leila on a home purchase with many unique constraints, and she helped me navigate some very tricky waters with steady wisdom that ended in the best and happiest outcome possible. I can't recommend her enough for both the value she added, and for making the entire process an honest and real pleasure. What a feat, and what a person! Thank you, Leila."

Leila did an amazing job helping my mom sell her home of 41 years.

She walked us through every step of the process and was quick to respond to any questions we had. Aside from listing the home, she was a great resource for everything from donating furniture to recommending a cleaning service and an attorney. Because of her experience and advice, everything went more quickly and smoothly than we could have imagined before we met her. I am happy to recommend her to anyone!

"Leila did a wonderful job representing our property.

She coordinated every step and was very informative on the process of selling our condo. In our case we were selling a property in a city we no longer lived in and was dependent upon a quality agent acting on our behalf. Overall, Leila is a great agent and I would highly recommend her."

From start to finish, Leila helped make everything as smooth and easy as possible. She is incredibly knowledgeable, responsive, and reliable. Truly advocates for her clients and was dedicated to finding us our forever home. She is also the type of person you instantly feel comfortable with - genuine, approachable, and committed to helping you find the right home, not just close a deal. Leila always took the time to listen to our wish list, answer every question, and never once made us feel rushed or pressured. She was so supportive throughout the entire process.

"Leila is hands down the best realtor I have worked with.

I was looking for a condo in Chicago, and she found me something quickly. The process was easy and every aspect of the transaction ran smoothly. She had several trusted professionals that she worked with regularly, and I was able to choose a lawyer, and mortgage broker with ease. She is efficient, prepared, and lovely to work with. A real gem!"
