Leone certainly has the business side of real estate in hand: she’s thorough with legal and financial details, quick to adapt in Calgary’s changing marketplace and highly organized in the face of complex transactions. But what really drives Leone isn’t the numbers, the deals or the paperwork – it’s the people. “One of the really unexpected bonuses of being a Realtor has been getting close to so many families. I’ve made so many new friends. I was even invited to a wedding! And that has been most rewarding and most unexpected.”
Leone’s approachability and sincere sense of caring has fostered relationships, steadily building trust and clientele. She’s been successful in finding people the homes they want and often it’s been as a result of a great deal of patience – more time spent, more showings, more depth than a lot of agents are willing to offer.
Leone’s patience comes from experience. Experience as a home buyer and seller herself and experience in her previous career as a successful public relations professional in the high-tech sector in the US and Canada, dealing with people, managing myriad priorities and practicing effective communications.
Being informed and up-to-date is critical in Real Estate and Leone constantly pursues information. “I have to be up to date to help people and know that I’m offering a valuable service. Continually educating myself is part of that, so I’ve taken every class that’s come my way.”
And she educates her clients too, offering seminars every spring to first-time home buyers and giving detailed information packages to both buyers and sellers before they buy or sell. “I wish there had been something like that when I was buying for the first time,” she says. “Something to explain the buying process, the legal side of the process, someone to tell me what to look for. I find people really appreciate the information I've prepared for them.”
Leone has created these information packages and this website which is relevant to anyone interested in buying or selling real estate in and around Calgary, whether it’s a single-family home, a condo, a rural property, a recreational property or an investment property. “I see myself as a facilitator," Leone emphasizes. “I want to help people find a home that suits them and their budget. My job is to provide information that will help my clients make the right decision for them.”
