This is the second home that Leslie Hogan has sold for us. Selling your home can be a very stressful experience! Leslie's market knowledge, demeanor, professionalism and sales acumen made both experiences very positive. We would strongly recommend her to anyone, especially on Aquidneck Island and in the East Bay

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"

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.

I hired Leslie Hogan for her knowledge of the area and the demographics of our target market. Although the sale took much longer than we hoped, Leslie kept to the plan and helped me achieve the best possible price. Her patience never waned and she was always there to provide support and guidance. Better yet, Leslie was a true partner in helping to define and adjust our strategy to get my house sold. I couldn't envision working with someone else that could offer the same level of expertise, confidence and patience.

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.

Katie Dyer, Newport

We recently sold our house and toyed with the idea of “for sale by owner.” Were we glad we changed our minds! After a thorough review of local realtors, we selected Leslie Hogan, one of the co-owners of Hogan Associates. We couldn’t have made a better choice. Leslie was the ideal person to shepherd us through the arduous home sale process. I can honestly say that the house sale process proved to be one of our most challenging undertakings to date. Leslie was the ideal partner every step of the way. Her vast experience, calm demeanor, intricate knowledge, and ethical behavior provided what we needed to keep things in perspective during all phases of this demanding activity. Leslie worked with us throughout the process. At every decision point, options were discussed before a decision was finalized. Her breadth of experience, accompanied by her calm, relaxed manner, were especially crucial and comforting at these junctures. She was never pushy, and decisions were always mutually acceptable and a collaborative effort. Shortly before closing, we encountered a potentially problematic situation. After discussing several options, the situation was resolved after we agreed on a mutually acceptable, ethical solution that Leslie presented to the buyer in her calm, elegant manner. Leslie’s skill at handling difficult situations was evident throughout the sales process and it was always accompanied by her unflappable, pleasant demeanor. We could not have wished for a better, more likeable person to be by our side during this process. We are certain that anyone who hires her to guide them through the house sale process will have a positive experience with a truly delightful, ethical realtor.

I interviewed several local brokers and found Leslie to be remarkably different from the others. She was smart,sincere, informative and genuinely interested in learning what was important to us. I trusted her from that first meeting onwards. I would highly recommend Leslie, she is wonderful as well as successful!

Elizabeth Bessette, Devon, England

Leslie Hogan is super efficient, very clear, and has an astute eye on the market. She took the time to understand our needs and concerns and is very patient and attentive in explaining all the various steps in selling our property. This is the second time we have used Leslie Hogan. Both times she priced our property perfectly and it sold quickly and smoothly, and we wouldn't hesitate to use her again in the future. We highly recommend Leslie Hogan and her team.

Edith Jourdan-Grittner, Warwick, RI

Leslie Hogan was the seller's broker for the residential land we had purchased in Portsmouth, RI. We were so impressed with her capabilities that some years later when we decided to sell the land there was no question that we would want Leslie to represent us. During the process she always responded quickly to questions or concerns and did an excellent job of helping to resolve negotiation issues with the buyer. Leslie is an experienced professional and clearly demonstrated her skills with high value properties. We can recommend Leslie's services without reservation!

Martha Clabby Kjolseth, Middletown, Rhode Island

I can highly recommend Leslie Hogan to help you find a home to make you happy. I just closed on a home in Middletown, Rhode Island thanks, largely, to Leslie's expertise. I returned to the USA after living in Europe for 30 years so I needed guidance. Leslie guided my search in several important ways. Leslie spent a lot of time to understand my priorities and wishes about my next home. She responded immediately with solid advice to my many questions in different phases of the process. I appreciated that she helped me set realistic expectations about my search goals. Leslie also demonstrated top notch skills in negotiation of the final terms of the sale to make it a win-win process for the buyer and the seller. The inspections were very thorough with Leslie playing an active role in their successful completion. In summary, I thank Leslie for her commitment and trustworthiness during my search.
