Testimonials:
“Do you know anyone who would tour neighborhoods with you at 10pm, with flashlights, because that was the only time you had to look for properties? We do! We’ll never forget our nocturnal drive with Leslie Hillel through the Devon section of Amagansett, our very first time with her as our real estate agent. Leslie came up with surprising examples of properties for us during our search for a country place. We love our centuries-old saltbox, and we couldn’t have found it without Leslie’s tenacious, supportive, and creative work.” – Barbara and Jonathon M.“Leslie saw in our current house what we might not have seen and what other realtors may have missed. It’s a one-of-a-kind house that charms us to this day. Leslie Hillel has a gift of matching a client’s needs, budget and aesthetic with the realities of the market. And she is a pleasure to work with!” – Markie and Kathryn G.
