Meet Sarah Leonard, based in Chicago and known for her altruism. She embarked on her real estate journey at a young age while assisting her mother in managing events for the local Board of Realtors. Eventually, this led to her initial real estate journey, including a short stint working in mortgages doing loan processing. “This is truly the only industry I’ve ever worked in,” Sarah shares. Today, Sarah has a small yet mighty team of agents, ranking in the top ten in the state and top ten in the nation regarding units closed. With a full-time office staff of ten providing support to the agents, handling contracts, and processing documents, the team benefits from their administrative assistance and high-producing, focused agents.
