We have had the fortune of buying and selling two homes with Lesley now, and we are so grateful to have had the opportunity to have worked with her both times. She is warm, caring, professional, and attentive. Despite how busy she was, she made us feel as though we were her only clients. She puts so much effort into everything that she does, she is thorough, knowledgeable and prepared whether you are buying or selling so you know what the best options are for you. We have worked with other realtors in the past. No one puts in the effort and attention that Lesley does. I would absolutely recommend her to friends and family, she is incredible to work with.

We met Lesley more than 10 years ago now, when she first showed us a house. We were undecided at that time about who we wanted to work with, but as soon as we met Lesley, it felt like we were old friends! She helped us to sell our previous house, and purchase our current one. We just recently purchased our dream home, with Lesley's help, and sold our current home in just three days, with a much better than expected sales price. Lesley is patient, gracious and never pushy. She has always been honest, yet kind, and we greatly appreciate it. She never gave up, even when it took us years to find our newest purchase, and she was so happy for us when we finally did! Having faith in someone who is helping you with such an enormous purchase is very important to us, and we trust Lesley completely. She is highly knowledgeable, and gets exceptional results. Anyone who works with her is in excellent hands, and there is no one else we would recommend more highly than Lesley Short and her team!

Lesley is an amazing person! We lived 50 years in our house so we needed lots of help to sell it. Lesley always took time, in her busy schedule, to answer our questions and our house was sold in a couple of days. We are glad to have chosen her as our realtor agent so, we will refer Lesley to our families and friends!

After an incredibly frustrating experience with another agent, Lesley was a breathe of fresh air! It was a night and day experience. Lesley was extremely helpful, on the ball, and amazingly reliable through the whole process. Always available when I reached out. It was a pleasure to work with Lesley. Highly recommend!

We absolutely loved working with Lesley and her team. They exceeded our expectations! Lesley was very organized, responsible, always on time, no need to call or remind, always in the loop of what is going on at the moment, very creative and has a great approach in making property look amazing for potential buyers. I chose to work with Lesley because I noticed how Lesley worked on selling our neighbors townhouse and saved her number for the future. She was 1,000% knowledgeable and qualified to represent our interests. We have already recommended to a few friends of us who are thinking of selling their property.

We began to contemplate our move from Tecumseh ON to Kitchener ON about 9 months ago. We began to look at real estate, on line, and signed up to view properties. It was at this point, that Lesley’s office, through her assistant, Carissa, reached out. Carissa remained connected with us until the time we decided to buy a home. Carissa was most helpful in logistics information and we are grateful for that connection. When it came time to view properties, Carissa arranged everything! We met Lesley and began the viewing of properties. We were so impressed with Lesley’s professionalism and knowledge. She has a keen eye and quickly understood our needs and what we were looking for. Lesley masterfully secured our sale and we are looking forward to our move in a few months time. We found our experience with Lesley, and Carissa, outstanding! Purchasing a home in a new community can be daunting; Lesley and Carissa made us feel comfortable and informed. We would highly recommended Lesley as a realtor-her attention to detail, friendly demeanour, knowledge, skill and expertise were invaluable.

I enjoyed working with Lesley from start to finish. She is very down to earth, and an extremely hard worker. She is very knowledgeable and helped me not only find an amazing home but also sold mine for an excellent price all within a very short amount of time! I would absolutely recommend Lesley to friends and family. She exceeded my expectations in every way.

When I decided to look for a house or townhouse that my mom could call home, I had the good fortune to choose a listing that Lesley had on the market. Even though that particular house was not the “one”, after speaking with Lesley we decided to ask her to help us find the right home, in the right location that would work for my mom and her grandson. I have worked with many real estate agents over the years, but I can honestly say that Lesley’s honesty and integrity shone far above the rest. I soon found that I could trust Lesley to give an independent opinion of the quality and suitability of a listing considering only my mom’s interests. Lesley was in no rush to make a sale; rather she was determined to find the right home for my mom. Of course we were successful in the end, and I would not hesitate to recommend Lesley to family and friends looking for a home in Cambridge and surrounds.

We have moved 5 times in the last 22 years. Obviously, we've dealt with many realtors both on the buying and selling side. Lesley is by far the BEST realtor we've ever worked with. Her professionalism, personality, responsiveness and her ability to close the deal was Outstanding!!! It was truly a pleasure to work with Lesley. She keeps her client’s best interests in sharp focus and you can always trust that she is on top of every detail, big and small. If you are buying or selling a home in the Cambridge area, do yourself a favor and hire Lesley Short!!
By: Chelsea Hill
Lesley truly made my hopes of becoming a home buyer possible. She is a very intelligent, kind and supportive real estate agent. As I was a first time home buyer, Lesley took the time that I needed to really understand the market and know what to look for in a potential home. I felt like Lesley truly cared about my experience and wanted me to be happy and safe in my new neighborhood. I appreciated her expertise and hard work throughout the entire process. She is an extremely hard worker and I feel so grateful to have been able to work with her. I would recommend Lesley to anyone and everyone!

I have bought and sold homes with Lesley three times in the last 2 years I have been going through a major transition in my life I can honestly say that I wouldn't have made it without Lesley's personal care and Magic making all the pieces fit when they were meant to. She is not an ordinary realtor if you look closely, she has wings ...she is the guardian angel of real estate.

Lesley has been my realtor for 10 years! We met in 2011 to purchase our first home in Cambridge, ON and since then we have bought and sold with her 4 times! What I liked about her from the jump was her ability to listen to exactly what we were looking for. I’m a very specific person and I only had to mention once to her what my budget was, the type of home I wanted, our needs, Our wants, the area etc She was never pushy from the beginning (never asked us to sign at our first showing) which I loved and she was such a wealth of knowledge If the area we wanted. What makes Lesley unique is that she has super powers of reading your facial expressions! You can’t fake like anything because she won’t let you do it especially if she senses ghat you’re desperate but don’t really love something. She has experience in renovations and assesses the home as you view it ie electrical panels, Mold/ moisture, hot water tank service date, cracks on the walls outside or anything that might be problematic in the future. Which already saves me time because in this market you have no time for an inspector. She has been in the business so long that her predictions on Sell prices are bang on versus asking price. When it’s time to sell, her attention to detail is impeccable! From the best photographers, to great posters to state of the art staging I mean she comes in sleeves rolled and ready to work to ensure you get the best offer there is out there! As I get ready to close on my new home yet again with her (our 5th deal) I find myself overjoyed that i found exactly what I wanted. She kept me encouraged and optimistic in this very unpredictable market. My kids and I will be very very happy in our new home And for that we say thank you again Lesley for making our dreams come true.

Lesley Short is an amazing human being and an equally amazing realtor. She is a caring person first and a realtor second. She listened to and clocked carefully everything I said about what I was looking for. Immediately that night she called to say she would like to take me to a place, the next day, that she felt I would like. And it was perfect, well almost perfect. I said to her I love this place but I wish it were in Cambridge so I could be close to my daughter. I was ready to take it though ands she knew this. That night she called to say she found a place in Cambridge. She was not a push the deal through no matter, she cared about me first and the sale later but only if i would be happy. She handled everything for me in a fast professional manner and I will always appreciate that. I am so grateful to know her and to have worked with her. I highly, highly recommend her. She is the BEST.

"We met Lesley around 9 years ago now, when we were looking to buy the home we live in currently. At the time, we didn’t have a realtor that we were working with, but when Lesley showed us a house, we knew we wanted to work with her! She helped us find a beautiful home that we have really enjoyed living in. Now we are ready for something different, and there was no question that we would be working with Lesley again. She works very hard for her clients to find the perfect home, and to get the best possible return. She provides invaluable advice with her many years of experience, and we trust her completely. Most importantly, Lesley cares deeply about her clients, and finding them the right home. Anyone choosing to work with Lesley is in excellent hands, and we highly recommend her to anyone we know!"

Lesley is a very focused and dedicated person! We have known her for 25+ years and she has helped us many times. She really has an eye for style and has helped us choose colours for our home and our previous salon. She has great house decorating ideas and suggestions that make your home/space look even better. She pays attention to detail and goes above and beyond your expectations! When working with Lesley, she keeps you informed and updated on regular basis and is very attentive. She calls you back and answers all your questions and had great suggestions! We have had previous experiences where this was not the case. She really is working FOR YOU! She is very trustworthy and honest and has YOUR best interest at heart, not all agents have that kind of integrity. She has helped us find an investment rental property on our desired street and even helped find tenants! Now that`s service! If you are lucky enough to work with Lesley Short, you will not be disappointed! She is a great agent to have in your corner!

Lesley was wonderful to work with. Showing houses to people isn’t easy after all “buyers are liars “ right. Lol She was patient and had great insight. I couldn’t list with her but she had no problem helping me find my next home and I appreciated that she didn’t make me feel bad about not listing with her. Above all she is a “hoot” to drive around with. Of course I not only would but have recommended her to others. She is an exceptional agent. Best wishes Jane

Lesley exceeded all our expectations with her professionalism, advice and hard work. She is so thorough and detailed and was always one step ahead of us with her questions to the seller. We just found Lesley always on our corner and never felt pressured and she would be the first to point out all the negatives, which was refreshing. She's always on time, she's very respectful and patience is in abundance. We love her positive energy. Lesley knows the market and she really worked hard with our budget and what worked for us. Lesley is an amazing person, I would refer her anytime and she’s our number one person to go to for real estate in the future, regardless of buying or selling. During this process she's become our friend where we can confide in her on what anxiety and stress we are going through, she always responds on time and all the references she gave for moving, painting, fixing were really nice people who responded so quickly. We couldn't have done this move without her.

We had just started thinking about the idea of making a move to the country when we met Lesley. The idea then grew and became not only achievable but became reality. With Lesley’s help, and her willingness to go literally anywhere with us to look at houses, we found our gem in the country. Purchasing our new property was quick and stress free, coupled with paying below asking, it was a dream transaction. And it just got better from there. Lesley agreed to sell our house as well, even though it was quite a distance from her regular area. She presented us with many comparable properties in the area and came up with a list price which we thought at first might be too high. She explained her reasoning and we decided to trust her expertise. Lesley made the trip out to stage the house and help us set it up to show the property in the best possible light. The house sold in 24 hrs over asking. The results speak for themselves. Like our purchase transaction, the sale was just as easy and stress free. Lesley possesses many skills that make her a smart choice for your agent. She responds promptly to all questions you have, if she does not know the answer, she will find out for you. Lesley has demonstrated that she is with you until the end. Even when the sales are final, after closing dates, she still responds and helps you with whatever you need. Lesley is professional, willing to put in the hard work to attain the best results for her clients all while remaining lighthearted, approachable, and friendly.

Lesley is the best agent that you can find. We were moving to the west but we didn’t know anything about the area and we found Lesley. That was the best thing that happened to us. She is not only a good agent, she is also a very knowledgeable person, she knows about construction, she knows about the area, you will never go wrong with her. You will get a great agent and an awesome forever friend . I really recommend Lesley short . She helped us find our home.

We definitely recommend Lesley! She is extremely knowledgeable, kind and honest. She knew exactly what we were looking for and was always available whenever we needed her. Her design eye is also amazing! Thanks Lesley, you're a star!!
By: Gráinne Aitken
Lesley was amazing with our house sale and purchase. Not only is she an awesome realtor, she is also an amazing designer. Her advice on paint colours, decor changes and recommendations on what to update in our home before the sale was invaluable. During the process, she was always available and helped us through the journey - from pricing strategy, reviewing offers and conditions and ultimately helping us move to our dream home. Thanks Lesley You rock!
By: Heather Gaulton
Lesley is absolutely amazing to work with! She has put in alot of work helping my family find our first home. She's very knowledgeable, puts her clients first and goes out of her way even on vacation to help. We honestly could not have picked a better realtor and if anyone is needing one, I HIGHLY recommend her! She's absolutely great!
By: Christie Girdler
Over the past 5 years we have done 4 deals with Lesley. Both residential and investment properties. We only use Lesley for a reason...she's the best in the area! We trust her 100% to guide us through each transaction and she had continuously proven to go above and beyond the call of duty to ease our stress during the purchasing and selling process. We highly recommend Lesley as she is a dedicated professional and very well respected in the industry.

Lesley assisted my fiancé and I in purchasing our first home and before meeting her we had realtors pushing to represent us at every open house we attended but Lesley was different. She made an excellent impression on us right away and after we left the viewing for the house she was selling we both instantly agreed we had found our realtor. She was there for us every step of the way with all of our questions and countless emails. I trusted her entirely and will 100% be hiring her when we sell our home 5-7 years from now. I would recommend her to absolutely anyone as she was like family to us and I still love to keep in touch. Thank you so much for such a pleasant experience, Lesley.
