I definitely want to thank Leslie for assisting me in the purchase of my first home. As a first time home buyer and learning "on the fly", it was great to have a Leslie as my real estate agent that was consistent, honest, and fair. Was able to purchase a great home thanks to Leslie's negotiation skills!

Leslie Doran was a dream to work with! She has been doing this for a long time and her expertise is more than evident. She was incredibly knowledgable about the process and answered all of our questions thoroughly and timely. After a failed inspection, we had a bit of a time crunch and she assured us that we'd find something in time that suited us. Sure enough, we found our new home that we absolutely love. Leslie guided us through the whole negotiation process with incredible skill, professionalism and expertise, and we were confident that her guidance was leading us in the right direction. Sure enough!
Her knowledge of the local community and individual neighborhoods is second-to-none. She also has experience working for a builder so she has more knowledge than your average realtor in actual construction and quality. She can spot issues in a home with an eagle eye.
I cannot say enough good things about working with Leslie. If I could give her 10 stars out of 5, I would. The best!

Leslie is by far the epitome of an amazing, thoughtful, and dedicated real estate agent. She was patient through the process and always gave her honest opinion of homes we were walking thru, and potential offers.
Even after an inspection on another home went haywire, and we felt as if we didn't know where to go next - Leslie reassured us we'd find the perfect fit. And not only did we find that fit, but we literally found it within two hours of that inspection gone wrong.
Not only will she look out for your best interest, but she will push to get the results you desire. She's there for YOU, and I'm truly not sure how many agents can even compete with her sincerity and energy.
Straight up, Doran 2020 - I'm writing her in.

If you're in the market to purchase a home or sell your home, Leslie Doran is who you want by your side guiding you through the process. While I know I am not Leslie's only client, she makes you feel as if you are as her customer service skills are top notch. She is always prompt to return a phone call, email or text.
Her knowledge of cities, towns and neighborhoods is outstanding. She listens to your needs and ensures that she is showing you properties that fit your requirements and price point.
I've worked with Leslie for many years to buy, rent and sell homes. She is honest, trustworthy and reliable. I can never go wrong with her in my corner.

Leslie recently assisted me in the purchase of a condo. She was thorough in her preparation, attentive to my needs and a source of help when I had questions or needed advice. I felt well served and believe she went above and beyond the average. Her experience in residential sales was helpful in my securing the property I wanted at a price I was comfortable with.
I would recommend her. I subsequently asked her to represent me in the sale of my present home and have received the same excellent service.

As someone who is incredibly type A and hates life stress, I was very nervous about the house purchasing process. We cannot say enough great things about Leslie. She is so on top of everything and organized. She made the process so easy and stress free because we could relax knowing she had everything handled. She’s easy to communicate with, approachable with all of our questions, trustworthy, and very knowledgeable. She was a great advocate and we couldn’t imagine doing it without her.

I had a great experience with Leslie and would highly recommend her to any of my friends and family as she actually came to me as a referral. Having worked in the mortgage industry previously I thought I had a good amount of knowledge going into the selling process but I was in fact mistaken. Luckily, Leslie was there to guide me through effortlessly, responding to emails very quickly and sending me updated purchase agreements late hours into the night (which just goes to show her work ethic).
Although the home buying and selling process is never without its own set of obstacles, Leslie made me feel confident the whole way through, which personally I think is all you can ask for.

After cloisng on a new home, we needed to quickly sell the home we had just moved from. Leslie made it happen and exceeded all expectations. We received multiple offers on the home and Leslie took the time to review all of them with us as well as negotiate with the sellers agents to get us the best possible offer and terms, AND she did all of this on Mothers Day. We were able to sell for more than listing and could not be happier with the level of service Leslie provided us. I would definitly recommend her for any of your buying/selling needs.
06/12/2019 - zuser20160928070816714
This is the second time we have had Leslie help buy and sell a house. I wouldn’t use anyone else. She is always available to answer questions and never pushes you off to an assistant. She did a fabulous job helping us get our house ready to sell from tips to declutter to a professional decorator to help us stage the home. I’m super picky and she was always available to show me as many houses as I needed before finding the perfect one. I highly recommend her for all your buying and selling needs.
06/10/2019 - zuser20171211120044608
This was the first time working with Leslie and will not be the last! From the beginning when she came to review my house before selling, looking at the house after her suggestion and then selling the house, she was truthful, friendly, fun, and very knowledgeable of the entire selling process!
When looking for a home to buy, she would be honest with her comments and she was right! Together we found a place she could see me living in and I liked. Turned out, my new home is perfect for me!
If you want an excellent home selling or buying experience, Leslie Doran is the person for you!!!
06/08/2019 - chuckbiss
Leslie was a pleasure to work with. Being a first time home buyer she guided me through the process and helped me understand each step.
She has a wealth of knowledge and resources that helped me find the home I was looking for. She worked with the seller to get me a tour my new home before the open house.
She was a great negotiator, got my offer accepted on a home with several interested buyers.

I have never met a more honest, trustworthy, real and hard working individual. We have been working with Leslie for some time going from looking at rental properties to purchasing our first home. Leslie has been there every step of the way. She was totally understanding when "life happened" and we had to put things on hold, but was also right there when it was go time! She took an active interest in my family, sending us tons of house, areas and options that she thought would be a good fit for us. She always had an answer to our questions, even while on her much deserved vacation!! She was honest in giving us her professional opinion and really worked to get us the best deal on our home! She walked us through every house explaining everything as we went and even entertained the kids so my husband and I could get a good look at the house. Leslie knows her stuff when it comes to real estate and we put 100% faith in her to get us into our first family home! Simply put....she is AWESOME!! My husband and I are forever grateful to Leslie for all of her hard work, patience and persistence in getting us what we wanted out of our home purchase. Do yourselves a favor and hire Leslie Doran...you will NOT be disappointed! Thanks Leslie for all you did for our family!!
05/16/2019 - mlilly1990
Leslie was very helpful and knowledgeable throughout the entire process. My husband and I were first time home buyers and had lots of questions. Leslie made sure we were taken care of and understood each step of the way. We will definitely be reaching out to her when it’s time to sell and buy again in the future. Thank you, Leslie!!!!
05/15/2019 - mnagle09
I could have not gone through a better experience finding my dream home! Leslie easily picked up on exactly what my husband and I were looking for to fit our growing family perfectly! She was very responsive whenever I had questions and was very patient throughout the whole process. We could not be happier with our decision to use Leslie as our realtor and will definitely use her for all of our future buying and selling needs!
05/09/2019 - linlitt
Leslie was a pleasure to work with on selling my home. Very knowledgeable on what I could do to make my house presentable. Leslie had my home completely staged for showings and ensured the selling points of my home were highlighted. Leslie always looked out for my interests when dealing with other agents, and explained every step in the process and what my options were. Leslie always responded quickly with my questions or concerns about the process of selling my home.
I would definitively contact Leslie in the future for selling or buying a home and would definitely recommend my family to use her as their agent as well.
04/14/2019 - margaretblain4
Leslie was amazing from our very first meeting until the closing on our home. She always responded to our phone calls and text messages promptly. We had previously tried to sell our home with no success. She was able to market our home with a video that showcased detail of the home. We had a couple of open houses and multiple showings with multiple offers. She kept us positive through the whole process. We felt confident in her skills and would highly recommend Leslie to anyone trying to sell or purchase a home.

As first time home seller Michigan market was overwhelming to say the least. When we decided to sell our home and move cross country in a very short period, we were terrified about prospects of managing a property remotely and importantly selling in a decent time frame. But when we met with Leslie for the very first time, we instantly felt we were in good hands, she never treated it as just another business transaction from day one. She was there every step of the way with practical and logical advice. And importantly she took away out stress factor during one of the toughest moves of our personal lives, we can't thank her enough for that.
She provided us the guidance we needed when we had no idea where to go. And more importantly she would always lay out and pros and the cons and would speak up when the hard truth needed to be heard, and never once felt it was a one sided conversation. Another great quality with Leslie is that she is very detailed. As first time sellers we had ton of questions (all the time :) ) Not one time did she leave us hanging for answers or waiting for a call back, always prompt and courteous.
We have nothing but AWESOME things to say about Leslie. She was incredibly helpful and resourceful throughout the home selling process. You can’t go wrong appointing her for your real estate needs. She is simply remarkable realtor with a pretty grounded personality. There is a reason why she is one of the TOP real estate agent in the State :).
03/12/2019 - cheyanne juntunen
Leslie has been everything you could ask for in a realtor and more. We first contacted her to help us find a place to rent as we were new to the area and 2 years later she helped us buy our first home! She is the most responsive person I’ve ever worked with, we always felt like we were her #1 priority at all times. I recommend her to everyone I know!
02/17/2019 - Brady Sheehan
Leslie was a huge help to us on our first home purchase! Couldn't have asked for a better agent. She took the time to learn exactly what we were looking for, and to prepare houses that fit our needs. At the end of the day we hardly had to sacrifice any of our must haves, and got the house that we expect to make us very happy!
12/25/2018 - michinferno
Leslie is the hardest working realtor in Michigan. Her knowledge and experience of how the process works is second to none. Real Estate is sometimes very frustrating, however no matter how frustrating the process may get Leslie is always right there to make the process seem as painless as possible. Thank you Leslie for all the hardwork.
12/12/2018 - oagardner89
Leslie was an answer to prayer. My husband and I were relocating for work and had a really short window to house hunt and then move. Leslie made us a priority and right away got ahold of us and started planning home visits. She was super insightful when I came to the city’s that each home was located in and what the taxes would look like. She’s worked on the contractor side of the reality business as well so she’s able to see certain things inside of a house that a normal buyer wouldn’t be looking for. After just two days, we were able to find a house that we loved and she took on the rest. She negotiated with the seller and was able to get us more than we ever thought possible at closing. I would recommend her to anyone and if we ever decide to sell down the road, Leslie will be the first person I call. She truly is the best in the business.
11/06/2018 - marlagray9
From day one, Leslie has been the most supportive realtor we have ever encountered! Leslie has the perfect team including a professional stager and photographer to make our home shine on the internet and in person. She advised us on making settle changes to our home to create a more neutral feel to attract a wider range of audience when we went to list it. As soon as our home hit the market, we had thousands of views on Zillow and over 1800 saves. Within 3 weeks, our home sold. Leslie is extremely organized and attentive. From start to finish, she made this process a breeze. I would recommend Leslie to all my friends and family.
11/05/2018 - fons226
Second time using Leslie for purchasing and first time for selling, I couldn’t recommend anyone but her for anyone looking for an agent. Not only does she have a ton of experience but, she also was always available for me when we needed her. We will be using her for all future selling/buying.
10/30/2018 - Frank Gora
It doesn't matter if your buying or selling a house, there is no other professional better in this business than Leslie Doran. I was amazed at the amount of knowledge & details she covered throughout the entire process. She worked harder and longer than I did; as if it was her own personal home. I can't say enough about how much I appreciated what Leslie did for me and I strongly recommend her services!
10/21/2018 - user85930396
Leslie is a great Realtor, with great track record in what she does. Despite of the market conditions being high or low, Leslie will do all at her reach to get the best possible deal for your property. Thanks Leslie for your great professional work during the sale of our home in Troy, Mi. 100% Recommend!
09/09/2018 - zuser20150402102925450
Leslie definitely knows what she's doing and made the selling process effortless for us. She was able to get us the price we wanted, kept us well informed, was available to answer our questions quickly. She even went to the house to check on our cat and turn on lights/open blinds before a showing when we weren't available to be there. She had our home staged and that turned out so well, her photographer also did an excellent job for presenting our home on line. She has a delightful personality and was a pleasure to have working for us! She should definitely be the gal for you,you won't be disappointed!
09/05/2018 - dmsaad666
I would highly recommend Leslie Doran to anyone in need of a real estate professional. If anyone has given Leslie a lower score, it is because they did not take her advise. Leslie doesn't sugar coat anything but by listening to her, we sold our house within a week. That was not an easy task as it was the week of July 4th and everyone was away!
When I first met with Leslie, she told me exactly what it was going to take to sell the house: Getting all the clutter out, painting a couple of rooms with neutral colors, and her calling in her stager. I did not challenge Leslie and cleaned out my cluttered closets, had the walls painted in beige (should have done that a few years ago)! Feedback from buyers was extremely positive as to how the house showed and I owe that to Leslie. I am most positive the house would have sold in under a week if it had a bigger yard!
When I received an offer, Leslie was right there to provide advice on the negotiations. She had already helped me with setting the list price and she knows the market so well, the final sale price was exactly what I had hoped for. This was my 8th move and 8th time selling a house, and Leslie is the best I have worked with! She came recommended by a coworker and I cannot thank him enough for the recommendation.
I am now on the east coast and may not have a chance to work with Leslie again but if you have the opportunity, I would highly suggest calling her!
08/27/2018 - Brett and Melissa Muran
Our family has worked with Leslie as a buyer and a seller, and have referred her to multiple co-workers, family and friends. Leslie is extremely knowledgable, motivated, accessable and a pleasure to work with.
08/23/2018 - taylor te
Leslie is a real estate rock star!!! In a sellers' market, she managed to not only find us an amazing house, but negotiate a great deal on it at the same time. If there was a Million Dollar Listing - Rochester, she would definitely be the star of the show! She was very responsive, answering every text and call, no matter what the time (even late night), and was professional throughout the process. I would highly recommend Leslie.
08/22/2018 - cfbissell5
Leslie provides excellent service. We are new to the Rochester hills area and she was very helpful in guidance during the purchase process as well as other questions that would arise
08/03/2018 - melissaakhoury
Leslie went above and beyond to help us sell our home quickly. We couldn’t have been happier with how she marketed our home. We can confidently recommend her for anyone looking for a realtor!!
07/30/2018 - oliviamaebessey1
If you have found the house of your dreams, or need help finding the house of your dreams, Leslie Doran is the best of the best to help you get that home. You won't find anyone more motivated, knowledgeable, or caring than Leslie. My Fiance and I just bought our first home and we couldn't be happier with how everything turned out. Leslie helped make the buying process easy by always keeping us informed and making us feel comfortable with every decision we had to make. She was a God send! My fiance and I won't use anyone else for our realty needs! Thank you Leslie!!!
07/02/2018 - user871138
Leslie did an amazing job as our trusted advisor throughout our home selling process. She was very responsive and gave us outstanding advice that resulted in a successful sale in early June of 2018.
06/12/2018 - chelsea taulbee
Leslie is the kind of person you want on your side when buying or selling a home, her negotiating skills are next to none and her knowledge of the industry is out of this world. Leslie helped me find the perfect home for me in no time! She's punctual, professional, and reassuring through the entire process. I've already recommended her to friends and family, and plan on contacting her in the future when it's time to buy/sell again!
05/30/2018 - zuser20160924182510315
My wife and I workes with Leslie to purchase our first home and really cannot say enough good things about her. She is knowledgeable, approachable, personable, patient and incredibly generous with her time. Leslie gave us excellent guidance she answered every question and explained every form and every part of the process clearly and thoroughly. We hope that we will be in this home for many years to come, but when it’s time to move again we will definitely call Leslie! We highly recommended Leslie!!!!!

We contacted Leslie to list our home of 24 years so we could downsize. It is a great home but our love for wood was not shared by many of today's buyers who seemed to only be looking for white kitchens and woodwork. After consultation with Leslie we decided to "stage" the home but leave the wood without painting it. The late winter weather took a toll on potential buyers willingness to venture out and begin home shopping but Leslie kept our spirits high. We dropped the price to help encourage traffic and still things were a little slow. Finally, the weather turned and Spring arrived. After a couple of weeks and considerable hard work by Leslie, we found the right buyer for our home. The negotiations went extremely well and closing will be in a few weeks. We honestly had second thoughts about painting the woodwork and redoing the kitchen but the right buyer was out there for our home and we just needed to find them. So glad we had the steady hand of an experienced agent to guide us through the slow times! We know the new people will love the neighborhood and they can now complete whatever changes to the home that make sense to them. We had several discussions on what we should do to market our home and in the end patience and good marketing found just the right buyer. We could not be more pleased with Leslie and her team on completing the sale of our home!
05/24/2018 - sch3736
We enjoyed working with Leslie. She was very knowledgable and helped us purchase a great home in downtown Rochester. WE have looked with her for about 4 years. She would always find time to show us a house that we wanted to see. We have listed our home in Rochester hills with her and hope to close on the sale soon.
05/24/2018 - jsmith sarah
Before meeting Leslie we were working with another agent who was taking days to respond to emails and clearly not making us a priority. Leslie responded to us almost immediately, and took time to assess where we are in the process and what our needs are. Being first time home buyers we asked Leslie to walk us through everything and that's exactly what she did. She had suggestions and pointed out information we wouldnt have considered. She took us to SO many showings, many of which were last minute, and was assertive when necessary with any offers we placed.
She made sure we were comfortable with our decision and made sure we weren't settling. She never made us feel pressured or rushed.
05/09/2018 - cwlkgus
Leslie could not have been more amazing as she helped with every aspect of selling our home! From extensively knowing the market, to her resourcefulness with everything we needed, Leslie is for sure the absolute best! Relocation, moving, and selling can be stressful but having Leslie in our corner every step of the way made the process so much easier!! She is awesome at what she does and would, without any hesitation, recommend Leslie for your real estate needs :)
04/30/2018 - kevin odowd1
\u201CReal estate agent\u201D is a title that does not fully credit leslie’s impressive acumen. Her experience, knowledge and true passion for her craft defines her more as a lifestyle strategist than a mere home finder. Without hesitation, she 100% immersed herself in my needs, wants and worries…as if I was her only buyer. She thoughtfully planned a home finding strategy; relentlessly persevered through a difficult and contested marketplace; selflessly and tirelessly offered her time, counsel and expertise 24 hours a day. Frankly I have not encountered in my recent memory that kind of commitment, dedication, and focus. Leslie, is fiercely competitive yet cool, calm and above all positively encouraging. For me the result was a fair deal on an extraordinary home, and in the perfect location. It is not often that I meet someone in my professional or personal life that I endorse so unconditionally, so wholeheartedly, and with steadfast conviction.
04/30/2018 - bbessey15
Leslie did an excellent job selling my home. From start to finish, she was professional, responsive, and proactive and set us up for a successful and smooth transaction. I wouldn't hesitate to hire Leslie again or to recommend her to friends and family.
04/29/2018 - mswingle2
Leslie attended closing and did final walk thru for us as we were out of town. She has wonderful attention to detail and was very knowledgable about the home building process
Yes, would highly recommend her.
04/26/2018 - Jason A Gekiere
I interviewed most of the top agents in Rochester and found that Leslie was the quickest to respond, always answering her phone, and gave you a clear understanding of what to do in order to get the home sold. She provided me a checklist and a timeline, and we worked together to get top dollar for my home. She is with you from start to finish and will not pass you off to an assistant or team member. There is a reason why she is recognized as a top agent in metro Detroit! Don't sell a home without her!
02/26/2018 - user1359097
Leslie is pleasure to work with! Leslie is extremely professional and very responsive. I would absolutely recommend anyone I know to work with Leslie and we will certainly work with her in the future should a need arise.
Thank you!
01/29/2018 - Venstar23
Worked with Leslie over 10 years ago and she always had the information we needed when buying a new home. Returned calls. Very professional and knowledgeable. Won't hesitate to use again when time to move on.... which might be soon.
01/10/2018 - diane behaylo
Leslie will exceed your expectations whether she is working for you as a buyer or a seller. In my opinion, she knows the business better than any other agent in the area to her decades of experience. She is very innovative and always adjusting to market needs and changes. Her reputation amongst the community and other agents is very strong. To me, this is the most important thing when it comes to choosing an agent. It makes the negotiation process that much stronger. I would strongly recommend Leslie and is the only agent I would ever work with.
01/10/2018 - jaclyn nancekivell
Leslie was incredible to work with! I would recommend her to everyone and anyone looking for a great real estate agent. She always responded fast and found us great houses to look at that met the majority, if not all, of our "must haves". She worked hard to make sure we closed on time and with all the negotiations we wanted. She was also hilarious which is a plus in my book. She made us feel like we were her only clients. We were first time home buyers and she really knew her stuff and helped us feel comfortable with the whole process.
Highly, HIGHLY recommend!

I have worked with Leslie as a buyer and a seller and would not work with any other realtor in Michigan. She is outstanding and always has her clients best interests at heart.
11/15/2017 - dselina1950
This most recent transaction was our third (Two sales and one purchase) with Leslie. She has always given us good counsel on price, process and any changes needed to our properties to help with a successful sale. In our latest deal, our rental property condo, after some recommended minor improvements were made, sold within 24 hours of listing at 10% above our asking price! With each of our real estate transactions, Leslie's performance has been very impressive and exceeded our expectations. I recommend Leslie without hesitation and have done so to friends on multiple occasions.
10/25/2017 - Melanie
Leslie helped me find the perfect house for our family. We had a few neighborhoods in mind that were not close to each other and were very different from where we were currently living. Leslie was very patient and walked us through so many homes, helping with the pros and cons of each. Every step of the way I found myself trusting her more and more, as she was not out to "make a sale". She loves what she does and is only happy when you are in the home of your dreams. I love our home and the neighborhood is perfect. I have referred Leslie to over 20+ friends and all of them have loved their experience and have gone on to refer her to their friends.
