We have relocated for work numerous times over the years, both internationally and cross country. Having the right realtor has always been one of the most important aspects of every move. However, in today’s Covid market with the lack of available real estate, it is crucial to be working with someone both knowledgeable and efficient, as you do not have the luxury of time to research properties to the extent warranted by these fast selling, top dollar properties. You snooze, you lose! You need a professional who knows the area and property – value and history, and if there are unknowns, has the contacts and drive to get the information quickly. Leslie Hogan is that realtor and more. She is exceptionally informed and knows the market extensively. She is a pleasure to work with – friendly, intelligent, and sincere-- the type of person you’d love to have as a neighbor. You are not taking any chances with Leslie, you are getting the best!

Leslie Hogan and her team did a phenomenal job selling our family home as part of settling our father's estate. She was right on target with estimating the market value, developed a plan to best present that house that included staging (which really helped the house sell for top value) and brought in buyers. Within 3 weeks we had two competing offers very near asking price. In addition, Leslie and her team were an absolute pleasure to work with, very responsive to our questions and to potential buyers, and showed great care representing the sale of the family home. The whole process went smoothly and we could not be happier that we chose to list with Hogan Associates. Thank you Leslie!

What a great experience this was Leslie and Meredith outdid themselves in preparing and showing, and keeping me informed. I've never had a better experience with realtors than this.

Leslie Hogan is the consummate professional and precisely what a seller would want in a real estate agent. She thinks ahead, she is savvy and knows the market, and she conducts herself with poise and class, which connotes the same about the property that she is representing. Most importantly, she delivers results!

I interviewed several realtors, most of whom I knew personally, so I thought hard and long about who my choice should be. Leslie gave me a secure feeling that she was very experienced in the business and that she was able to envision the many possibilities that my property could afford to the right buyer. She said it would be a complicated sale, and it was. However, she was incredibly calm and had a positive attitude throughout the process. It was her calm assurance that allowed me to feel that all would turn out well. I noticed also that in all the interactions she had with potential buyers, realtors, lawyers and city officials she was noticeably calm and kind. I can imagine she had done this hundreds of times before and that was very encouraging to me as I have not sold property hundreds of times. I feel and also my friends felt that I made the right decision in choosing Leslie, and I am very happy with the outcome.

Leslie Hogan was terrific. Every home sale involves highs and lows, and she was our steady calm and trusted advocate throughout. Super professional, knowledgeable and forthright, Leslie was always available to work through our every concern, making the entire process as stress free as possible. We’ve worked with several realtors in the past and have never experienced one as interested in learning about, and prioritizing our goals as sellers. We highly recommend Leslie and Hogan Associates.

This was a complicated sale for several reasons. Leslie skill in handling so many difficult people and problems could not have been better. The patience of a saint. Follow-up. Details. People management-including me during the most frustrating times was amazing. I could go on! Leslie has a fantastic team. There were a few times when Leslies schedule conflicted with appts for my home. She had tremendous back up and very personal service. Thank you to holly , kirsten, Devon, and other members of the Hogan staff for being such great support.

Leslie Hogan was recommended by the Lawyer who was handling the estate settlement of 336 Boulevard. Her first impression with the executor of the estate was immediate and no other broker was interviewed. Due to the result of the sale of 336 Boulevard and the way the sale was handled Leslie was hands down the choice for another family estate settlement of 36B Glen Meade. Leslie and her co-workers deserve the rating of excellent. They worked as a team which what a seller needs because you always had someone to call on should an issue arise at any time. When you work with a group that works as a team it is very obvious. Leslie was our sole contact for 336 Boulevard and she was always available and there for every step that was needed. For 43B Glen Meade, Leslie, Michele, and Matt were utilized to sell and resolve more questions asked by the purchaser then I would have thought possible. Even the closing was complex with the purchaser not able to attend and that went off without a hitch. Both property closings were handled in a professional fashion, 336 Boulevard was single family residence and 43B Glen Meade was a condo and that was a very complex sale with lots of questions put forward by the purchaser which required close co-ordination between the seller and agent. Leslie and agent Michele handled the resolution of those questions very professionally and were able to obtain the information or advise that was needed. Can't say anymore then "Excellent"

Both Leslie Hogan and Tammy Bass represent the best of what a realtor can and should be: top notch professionalism, calming influence during what is an inherently a stressful process, respectful guidance providing insight and answers to questions and concerns, informed pricing strategies, phenomenal negotiators on both buying and selling side, and a connection to a network of similarly talented realtors who bring vetted buyers to the table enabling a successful sale in a short time frame. They are simply the best.
