Kristee Leonard's Reviews & Ratings
Tell us about your experience with
Kristee Leonard
We had a different real estate agent when we first started looking for a home and it wasn't the right fit. We had made the mistake of not doing our research. We decided to cut ties and this time looked at reviews, interviewed Realtors, etc and that's when we discovered Kristee. We knew immediately she would work hard on our behalf and had the skills and team to get the job done. We are so happy we made the change! We had previously been looking for 2 months with the other realtor, but after only one day working with Kristee, we found the perfect home. There were multiple offers, but she coached us to the right offer to win. From there she aided us in a successful negotiation to an even better purchase price/closing cost. Kristee is someone who is very responsive, will coach you and guide you through the process and be your advocate. She has a great team of showing agents and network of resources and is just a great person all around. We highly recommend her.
- Kristen McDonald- South Austin - BuyerAre there 30 stars? Because that's not even close to the number I would give Kristee. Selling our first home, we were pretty naive about the process and Kristee took the time to educate us every step of the way. She was patient and kind and never spoke down to us. Her communication is amazing, she is always there when you need her. She's also going to be honest with you so that you can get the most money possible. Any future real estate agents have a lot to live up to! Thanks to Kristee we had multiple offers and are ready for our next adventure. Also, she wears hats, and they are awesome. Thank you Kristee. You are incredible and we will always be grateful for you!
- Lillie Hollingsworth- Allandale North - SellerKristee is still the best! My husband and I previously bought our house with The Leaders Realty several years ago, and recently sold our house with them. We didn't think twice to give the business back to them - especially with the added complication of selling a home while out-of-state. She is still incredibly thorough, informative, attentive, and accessible. She helped us with every step of the process, which included us checking in with her about selling and the comps a year or two before we actually decided to sell the house. Kristee is so responsive; you will be forever spoiled if you move out of the area and have to work with another realtor. Whether you're buying or selling, call The Leaders Realty and feel at ease. You found the right realtor. When we bought our first home with Kristee's help several years ago, and she was the most thorough, attentive, and passionate person we interviewed. We made the right choice to work with her and bought a home we truly loved for a price we could afford. She helped walk us through all the paperwork that the lender had us sign and made everything about the home buying process smooth. Look no further-- she's the one to go with who will truly work with you to get the right home or the right buyers.
- Lindsy Robertson- East Austin - SellerKristee was in a word "PHENOMENAL!!!" From day 1 she showed up to our initial meeting with all of the right information, detailed comparable listings she had previously sold (square footage, neighborhood, amenities, recency, etc.), overview of her marketing strategy/channels for listings, detailed walk through of listing process, recommendations on preparations to consider for action prior to listing, among many other things. Whether it was email, text, or calls Kristee was always readily available and never ceased to amaze me and my wife. It was very regular to get our first email of the day from Kristee at around typically 4:30AM, always a step ahead, relentlessly committed to her clients, and extremely outcome-driven. Whether you had questions about the listing process itself, high-level mortgage broker specifics, staging, or negotiations once offers were extended she had educated, strategic, invaluable recommendations. She rolls out all stops and that proved itself when we received multiple offers for our home at asking only 4 days after listing. I am a tough customer with very high expectations of my service providers, business partners, and the like so having the opportunity to work with Kristee was truly just a breath of fresh air. Kristee's recommendations and attentiveness across the process were so incredibly effective, appreciated, and anyone looking for an agent in the greater Austin area would be extremely lucky to have her leading the charge.
- Javier Alaniz- North Austin - SellerI recently bought my first house with Kristee, and she was excellent - I highly recommend her to anyone needing a realtor. She was very thorough throughout the whole process, accommodating to my schedule, and always impressively responsive. Since this was my first home, I needed a bit of additional help/coaching, and she was always happy to walk me through some of the paperwork and explain the process. She was also very decisive, and gave sound advice when I asked. It was apparent that she made it a priority for me to be happy with the final deal. I cant recommend her enough!
- Fred Holt- North Austin - BuyerAfter using Kristee for two previous real estate transactions, a home buy and a home sell, we could not imagine using anyone else. Her experience and dedication to helping us through the process is always top notch! She goes above and beyond to make sure we are getting all the help that we need. We look forward to using her in the future.
- Tracy & Cynthia SpiersMy family and I relocated from the Northeast. We weren't sure who to use, no recommendations, etc. My wife happen to find Kristee via a listing she had in Austin. The minute we spoke with her, we knew we struck gold! She was incredibly responsive, very knowledgeable, highly personable and very patient with us. Not only would I recommend Kristee, I would go far as to say you are foolish not to use her. Also, anyone she recommends to use during the process of purchasing your home, use them.
- Eric Heins- Dripping Springs- Polo Club - BuyerKristee was our agent when we sold our house. We were contracted within 4 days and things happened quickly. What I love most about her is her getting back to any of the questions we had during the whole process in a prompt matter. The process can be very stressful and Kristees prompt attention to our questions/concerns was simply put, awesome. It made the whole process less anxiety inducing. She is super detailed, she wont miss a thing! She cares! She gave us advice and recommendations for staging the house for showings and obviously, us listening to her paid off. I will absolutely recommend her to friends and family and will use her again in a heartbeat. Kristee walked us through every step of the way and I am so glad we found her
- Mark St Louis - South Austin- SellerKristee, you have been nothing but outstanding. This is the second house that you have helped my fiancee and I buy. I'm not quite sure if you ever sleep because it seems like whenever we e-mail you you're always available. Alone from real estate you have been very kind and understanding of all our questions and concerns. Thank you for being so competent and knowledgeable. We really have learned more from you with questions that we did not even think of. Thank you for being so flexible with us and going above and beyond. We really appreciate Hannah's assistance as well. She has been wonderful and extremely attentive to detail. You have such a great team! We look forward to buying more homes with you :)
- Josh Goulding- South Austin - BuyerKristee is the most thorough, knowledgable, professional we've ever worked with, not just in real estate, but in any field! She gave us excellent advice that sold our home in days. She made the process a breeze and was always available to us. Kristee is a beautiful person inside and out, but also a fierce business woman at the top of her game. I can't say enough about her. She has forever earned our respect
- Jim & Cheryl Schouten- Dripping Springs - SellerMy husband and I picked Kristee after reading many reviews online. We were looking for an agent that would put our interests first and make every effort for us. After working with Kristee, we definitely feel like we made the right decision. She is very knowledgeable about the housing market and is very detail oriented. She provided all the information we needed, gave us efficient advice, and helped us through every step of the sale. This was our first time selling a house and Kristee made it very easy. She was always there to help answering questions, giving great feedbacks and reminders of everything needed for the sale. We were impressed throughout the entire process by her expertise, professionalism, responsiveness and thoughtfulness. We were very satisfied and definitely recommend her for all our friends and families. Kristee deserves 5 stars!
- Ming Z.- Aviara - SellerKristee and her agent team helped me to decide what to do with the remodeling of the house so that the house looks more main stream. Kristee is very knowledgeable in term of market trends so I was able to decide on a price that is reasonably for my and the market. Price negotiations and odds and ends help during escrow. So the escrow move smoothly and we even managed to close almost 2 weeks sooner than original. Overall, highly recommended.
- Ann Wu- Sweetwater- SellerKristee is one of the best relators we have worked with (we have purchased over 10 properties and have engaged 8 relators). She is extremely thorough, thinks ahead of every step and shows great care for her clients. Really enjoyed working with her!
- Rebecca R. - Hutto - BuyerKristee is an investors dream, as she was not only able to find us a great house at a great price, but had also predetermined that the rent would well exceed the mortgage. She also helped us lease our new rental property quickly and was also able to secure a 2-year lease. This provides us so much peace of mind, especially with our new baby having just arrived. This investment is his college fund. I should also mention that the sellers agent was extremely difficult to work with but Kristees professionalism, attention to detail, and kindness ensured that everything went smoothly. She also helped us secure the financing for the property which was a huge plus. We think the world of Kristee and would recommend her and the team at The Leaders to anyone!
- Dave P. - Dripping Springs - Investor BuyerAs a first time homebuyer we were nervous and felt we didn't know anything about home buying. We are beyond grateful for Kristee's expertise. She explained everything for us, answering numerous texts/emails quickly, making sure we knew exactly what was happening along the way. Kristee is knowledgeable about Austin real-estate and fought to get us everything we wanted in our first home. We were introduced to Kristee by a friend and going with her to support us through this journey was the best decision we could have made. If you are looking for a home or selling your home, I would highly recommend you choose to work with Kristee!
- Ashley M. - Pflugerville- BuyerAfter an unfortunate experience with another real estate agent, I picked Kristee among many other Austin top realtors; and, that was a perfect choice!! I have enjoyed working with Kristee for many reasons. Below are a few: - She is the most responsive realtor that I have worked with. She made me feel that I was her top priority - She has been very "killed" and "knowledgeable" realtor that I have work with so far. I have had many other real estate agents and transactions in other states. She topped them all. - She is a smart and tactful negotiator. She was able to lower the asking price by $50K for me. - She is very professional and respects the business and how the business should dealt with. For any future real estate deals, I will only ask for Kristee's help and support. She does not hold back. I trust her and respect her. Thank you, Kristee!
- Neda H. - 78704 BuyerKristee used her knowledge, experience, and large network to market our house and get a full price offer before it even hit the market! Kristee is very responsive. Highly recommend!
- Nickie R. - Pflugerville - SellerKristee was truly a blessing for us as first time home buyers. Her knowledge of the real estate in Austin is second to none. She is available, responsive, thorough, everything you hope your agent would be and more. We tried to make sure we always had our ducks in a row and Kristee was fantastic, not only with the home searching/offer portion, but during the financing and closing piece as well. She really helped us navigate the massive amount of new information we were learning and we could not have done it without her. She helped us make the decision that was best for us and we plan on working with Kristee for every home we purchase for as long as she is in the real estate industry.
- Nick K. - Harper Park, South Austin - BuyerKristee is absolutely AMAZING! We can't say enough about what she did for our family. We were building and selling at the same time, and problems always arise, but with Kristee's knowledge and her expertise of this industry we were in good hands. I would recommend to ANYONE buying or selling a house to use Kristee, you will not be disappointed. We can never Thank her enough!
- Alisa W. - Round Rock- Cat Hollow- Seller & Lakeway- Rough Hollow - BuyerKristee pays attention to all the details during the transaction. She made sure the builder/seller is performing as per contract, ie: not used upgrade credit would be applied to reduce the purchase price, and she definitely made sure the escrow is up to their toes for all the necessary documents signed by both sides. Kristee is constantly making sure my rights & benefits are protected. I could never been able to get this deal accomplished without her because this was a 1031 exchange purchase, and there are 1031 language & facilitator involved. She not only help to coordinate between me, seller & escrow office, she also made sure the 1031 exchange side is performed properly. I love her, and definitely will use her again :)
- Ann W. - 70 Rainey- Downtown AustinKristee is the best realtor you can expect to work with. She made our buying experience as smooth as possible. Even though we were from North Carolina, trying to buy a home in the Austin area, she was extremely responsive regardless of the mode of communication. Her vast knowledge and expertise in all the areas of the transaction really impressed us. To add the icing on the cake, she used her strong negotiation skills to save us as much money as possible until the day of closing. I would strongly recommend Kristee for anyone looking to buy a home in the Austin area!!!
- Adhitya P. - Round Rock- TeravistaExtremely detail oriented, among great communication skills. All of the work was double checked to make sure the process went as smooth as possible.Specially as a new home buyer, it was very helpful to have someone like Kristee be out agent. I would definitely recommend her.
- Majid H. - SweetwaterKristee was an exceptional realtor! Highlights: + lightening-fast response time to emails and texts. + extremely thorough familiarity with components of offer and putting together a winning offer. knew how to tweak our offer just right to have it beat out 9 others. added/removed addendum and time frames to make our offer super competitive. + ensured everyone was on schedule e.g. lender, title company etc. + solid knowledge of the Cedar Park market. + great follow through. + ridiculously patient with an indecisive first-time buyer.
- Victoria S- Walsh Trails, North AustinKristee is an outstanding realtor with a very high work ethic. We really enjoyed working with Kristee through the process of buying our first home. She greatly exceeded our expectations on response time, knowledge, and contract negotiations. She always brings a great level of enthusiasm to every conversation. We cant thank her enough for making what can be an overwhelming process seem so simple and understandable. She went above and beyond for us and we have confidence she will do the same for anyone else she works with. We highly recommend Kristee!
- Alex & Jasmin C. - South AustinWe worked with Kristee when we bought our house in 2015, and were so impressed with her that we contacted her when it came time to sell. She is extremely hard-working, knowledgeable, and genuinely cares about serving her clients. She made the entire process feel easy & seamless. What's more is that our house sold in 5 days! I would highly recommend Kristee to anyone looking to buy or sell a home!
- Ashley U. - South AustinWe had previously worked with Kristee on the buying side and had a great experience so decided to work with her again as a seller and couldn't have been happier with the result and service provided by Kristee. She is a great communicator, has great knowledge on the local market and made the selling process very easy for us. Her marketing of our property was extensive and most importantly it worked, our house sold in 5 days!
- Brent M. - South AustinKristee was instrumental in helping my wife and I buy our first home, since we were coming to the Austin area from out of state. Her advice and guidance throughout the shopping, negotiation and closing process made it all an absolute pleasure. We were also able to look at houses before hitting the MLS based on her local knowledge. Meticulous attention to detail, immediate responsiveness, as well! We love the home we bought, thank you so much, Kristee!
- Joe C. - Harper Park, AustinKristee is amazing to work with. Her knowledge and expertise is amazing. She always responded to any and all of our questions. We would highly recommended Kristee.
- Janna G. - Reunion RanchKristee is and has always done a great job being Realtor whether selling or buying; She has represented the Spry Family and myself with selling/buying 5 properties in the last 4-5 years. She's skilled in so many areas helping with home task projects/renovations by finding best subs and referrals before and after putting your home on the market. She's very detailed-oriented and quick to respond to emails, calls and questions which has helped selling and buying successfully. She's very professional in nature by her demeanor and attire and also very Texas friendly & kind which makes a working relationship work well. Her negotiation skills saved a recent home purchase by 200K makes her a star in her field!
- Rhonda Z.We have now concluded our 4th real estate transaction with Kristee, and she is simply the best. We could not consider using anyone else after our experiences with her. I only gave her 5 stars for responsiveness because there is no option for 6. We would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a top notch Real Estate Agent!!
- Tracy S. - Flintrock Falls- LakewayBeing first time home buyers in Texas, Kristee was so helpful! She had great insight and suggestions to get the best house for our budget. Kristee was always available to answer a question or set up a tour. Kristee helped us secure a house that had multiple offers, and we walked away with a fantastic deal. All of our communications and documentation was done online which was fast and convenient
- Justin W & Josie B - Anderson Mill- North AustinKristee is an amazing realtor and I can not recommend her more. Shes helpful, responsive, personable and extremely knowledgable about all things Realestate. As buying a home is one of lifes more stressful situations you couldnt ask for a better agent. Overall, she is a real pleasure to work with, I couldnt be more happy. Thanks again Kristee!
- Ryan B. - Lakewood, AustinKristee and Sheree helped us find our house and walked us through the buying process. We're first time home buyers and had a lot of questions and Kristee was very informative and always quick in replying back to us. She kept us organized and on scheduled and gave us very honest opinions. Would definitely recommend Kristee and Sheree to anyone looking for a realtor.
- B. PhamWe found Kristee Leonard through social media reviews. After meeting her, hands down we were convinced she was the person to get our home sold. Kristee is very professional and conducts herself with integrity. She guides you through the entire process and keeps you well informed about the marketing strategy and activities. Kristee's biggest attribute is her work ethic. She takes the time to listen, is proactive, detailed oriented and always follows up in a timely manner. Kristee is definitely an advocate for her clients and is a true professional. We would recommend her to anyone. Five star rating!
- A. MarkKristee helped our family find a rental until we knew where we wanted to live. Not only did she have less than a week to find us the rental, she took the time to explain everything in full detail, the price that we wanted, the school that we wanted, all while we lived in another state. When our lease was up, we called her to find us a house, and she did with everything we wanted and more. She will always have us as clients. We also referred some friends to Kristee as they also were thrilled with her knowledge of Austin as she found them their perfect home too.
- C. KomatzKristee was amazing in helping me competitively price and sell my previous house. She has an impressive and comprehensive marketing system that brought in a great offer before we'd even had an open house. I always knew where we were in the process, and she responds to communications so quickly that I sometimes wondered if she ever sleeps. When it came to finding my new home, I wouldn't have wanted to navigate the competitive Austin market without her. We found the home exactly where we wanted, at the price we're thrilled with. I can't recommend Kristee enough!
- S. SchuhmacherKristee Leonard is an outstanding realtor in every aspect. She helped me with lot selection and the building of a home in Kyle, Tx. Her responsiveness is lightning fast and her attention to detail is incredible. Throughout the entire process I felt so well taken care of in every way possible. An added bonus with Kristee is that she is a lovely person!
- K. CarterKristee was a huge help in buying our house. She was always on the go between finding us listings, getting us in to see homes, negotiating and making sure our process went as smoothly as possible. At times Kristee worked harder for me than I did. I wouldn't even think about buying another home (or selling my new home) without her.
- M. AnselmoKristee is very attentive to her clients needs. We were from out of town and need to relocate very quickly. She worked around the clock to find us a place (and I mean that she would be emailing at all times of the night). Her knowledge with with process was top of the line transitioning us to a smooth close getting us into a very nice house in one of the toughest housing markets in the country within two month. I would highly recommend her.
- C. DittoI can't say enough good things about Kristee Leonard and the Leaders Realty. My family has been working with them since 2010 and have now bought two places and sold one with Kristee. She operates to the highest level of professionalism and takes great interest in her clients. Although I know she is extremely busy with multiple listings and clients, she always takes the time to make you feel like you are her only client at the time. Kristee makes you feel like family and we have no doubt that we will work with her again when the time comes.
- J. SimonKristee was our saving grace when we purchased our home a few years ago. Despite the rushed purchasing situation that is the Austin housing market, Kristee was able to find a house meeting all of our criteria (fixer upper, not recently renovated, centrally located, fixed max price) and providing us the perfect opportunity for a remodel in the neighborhood we wanted. Her negotiation skills and attention to detail with both the seller and the lender earned us a better price and mortgage rate than we could have ever received without her help. We would (and do) recommend her to everyone!
- E. StructureUsing Kristee Leonard is the best thing we have ever done, she should be voted #1 in Austin.......she is very responsive and hands on she... will guide and be by your side from the first time you meet her to the closing....she will fight for you to get the best deal, all the time being polite, but forceful...she is always looking out for her clients. Choosing Kristee...you have a partner by your side day or night and a good professional, like Kristee are hard to find.
- C. CopelandI may have purchased 2 properties in my life before, but it wasn't until I met Kristee when I truly understood the benefit of a good agent. She is incredibly professional, hard working, patient and honest, with your best interest at heart at all times who will guide you through every step of the process. I hold Kristee in very high esteem and I recommend her to everyone I know!
- S. TothSimply put, we could not have bought our house without Kristee's help. She was there every step of the way, and all hours of the day and night. Without her expertise and her eagle eye checking every detail over and over, the inspectors, the lender, the seller, and the title company would have made mistakes. She kept everything and everyone in line and on schedule. But most of all, Kristee is super smart, super sweet, and a real pleasure to do business with. I consider her a God Send.
- G. GarzaKristee helped us purchase our first home, we had very little knowledge of the process, but everything went seamlessly under her direction. I never worried that any deadlines would be mossed, details would be overlooked, or opportunities would be missed. She responded to our countless texts and emails promptly, provided details and explanations around every step of the process, and generally took excellent care of us. I would work with her again in a heartbeat, but she helped us find such a perfect home, I don't foresee needing her services again for a long time = )
- B. MichalopoulosKristee was incredible to work with. I have never met anyone so detailed and responsive. We have worked with many realtor's and this by far surpassed all of our past experiences!!
- B. WatersIt has been a great experience working with Kristee, she has provided a professional & superior level of service and knowledge. She has been extremely responsive, provided solid guidance and was very easy to work with. She understands the complexities of each transaction and how to work with both sides and keep her cool. She will dig in and support your stance with solid market data throughout negotiations. My property was a complex transaction and in a difficult market that took many months to sell and she supported me the whole way, I recommend Kristee for both buyer's an seller's, you will be in good hands!
- P. AbendscheinI could not be more happy in my experience working with Kristee. As a first time homebuyer she very graciously navigated me throughout the entire experience and made it as painless as possible. Kristee listened and sought after exactly what I was looking for and we found a place much quicker than expected. It was evident throughout the process that she was always working in my best interest and fought for every dollar in my favor throughout the negotiation and closing process. Highly recommend!
- Edgar B.Kristee was recommended to us by a friend who she helped 2 years ago. The friend had nothing but positive things to say about their first time home buying process with Kristee, so we gave her a call. Right away she was super attentive, and answered emails and phone calls immediately. As soon as we told her what we were looking for, the listings started coming in. Every time we changed our mind about something (South Austin, new build, back up to Round Rock), Kristee didn't bat an eye and she kept on searching. When it came to making offers and giving advice to us first time home buyers, so was beyond helpful. She took so much stress off of our shoulders, we really couldn't imagine working with anyone else! She made it so much easier than we thought it was going to be. Her recommendation for a lender was spot on, as well- he was just as attentive as she was. We weren't sure what to expect with the home buying process, from the crazy Austin market, to the paper work, and anything else along the way, but Kristee made the whole thing easy and enjoyable. We will be recommending her to all of our friends and family members!
- A. MillerKristee was very hard working and responsive, great experience! We found the right home quickly and she helped me stay on track of important dates to make sure we closed on time.
