Neil Leonard called me after selling a property on the same street. I gave him some history on the house he just sold and I enjoyed our conversation. He followed up with a thank you note and I kept it because I knew one day I would be selling this piece of property. When the time came to sell Mom's house, I called Neil. Again, he wrote a thank you note. This sale was bitter sweet for my sisters and me and he understood that.

Neil Leonardwas very helpful from day one with my Sister's House. His guidance helped in having a buyer for the house in record time, 12 days. His assistance in walking me though the procedures keeping the paperwork flowing until the Closing. Job well done.
If I was looking to relocate to North Carolina I would definitly work with Neil Leonard again.

Neil Leonard was very invested in getting me into the perfect house for me. He was very accessible and knowledgeable about a housing market that was foreign to me. I would recommend him to others due to my trust in his abilities.

Neil was prompt. He kept me informed. I dealt with two other realtors before Neil and they just let the time run out. They just dismissed me with no explanation. The process with Neil was professional. If I needed his services again, I would choose him.

Living in CT and searching for a home in NC was a stressful process for me. Neil Leonard made that process much easier. His knowledge of NC's coastal towns and various condo complexes was invaluable to me. Neil recommended the condo complex I ultimately chose since it met all of my requirements! Neil's assistant, Ani Leonard, was a wonderful part of the team. She was great with communication and was attentive to all of the details. I searched for a home for several months. I relied on Neil's guidance throughout the process. Once I decided on a home, I took Neil's recommendation of inspectors, the lawyer, etc. I was very happy with all of Neil's recommendations. I would recommend the team of Neil Leonard and Ani Leonard to anyone searching for a new home.

Neil is a great guy to work with. He has a laid back style that suits him well. Neil was prompt to respond to any situations that we had concerns about and was understanding when we encountered closings delays that were beyond our control. I would definitely recommend Neil for any realtor needs.

Referred to me by an agent I used in Myrtle Beach

I don't think I could have found a better agent.

Neal Leonard went over board in helping getting me all the information I needed for the mortgage company and closing.

Neil is the one of the best in the industry. After my dad passed away who was a agent I needed an individual who I could trust as much as my own father....that was Neil Leonard. He always made himself available and kept my best interest in mind at all times. To Neil it wasn't as much about the sale but making a wise decision that you'd be happy with years to come.

Niel went above and beyond for our family. We were purchasing a home from out of state and Niel made it seamless. He saw homes as soon as they came on the market and was quick to respond to any of our concerns/questions.We truly appreciated his input on the homes he saw. Additionally, He never pressured us to make quick decisions. He put in a lot of work for us and we are so happy we were able to purchase a home before our move. Thank you Niel.

Neil was very professional and at the same time friendly. He was very helpful answering questions about the state and the community I was looking at. He was very prompt getting me any paperwork I needed to complete, and was a second set of eyes on all of the documents to make sure they were accurate. His assistant was also very helpful, and as a team they were excellent.

I would use Neil again and will refer any interested friends to him. He was great.

As I am from out of state, it would have been easy for Neil to perhaps not put much effort into helping someone who may have been more difficult to service. Neil was as attentive and responsive as I could wish for. He was easy to get in touch with and quick to respond to my questions. I can't speak highly enough of the experience I had with Neil and how easy everything was with his help. Thank you Neil!
