Leslie Sharkey, Colorado listing specialist

Real estate has a one-size-fits-all problem.

Most agents are still selling homes with the same old playbook.

Put up a sign. List it on the MLS. Wait for a buyer.

(And somehow, that’s the plan no matter what you’re actually trying to accomplish.)

Hey, I’m Leslie and selling homes is what I do best.

Your home isn’t generic. Your goals aren’t either. So why should your selling strategy be?

I help Colorado homeowners understand their options, choose the right strategy, and make their next move with confidence.

The old way of selling a home is broken.

For decades, selling a home has followed pretty much the same formula:

Hire an agent. Put the house on the market. Wait for a buyer.

The problem? It assumes every seller is trying to accomplish the same thing.

They’re not.

  • Some sellers want to maximize every dollar.
  • Some need to buy their next home before they sell.
  • Some have a home that needs work—and don’t want to spend the money upfront.
  • Some value speed, simplicity, or certainty more than squeezing out the last dollar.
  • And some don’t know which path makes the most sense yet.

Different goals require different strategies.

Here's the good news

You have more options than you think.

Depending on your home, your timeline, and what you’re trying to accomplish, there may be a smarter way to get you where you want to go.

If you are thinking about making a move, here's how I can help you:

Maximize the outcome

Sell for Top Dollar

Want to get the most the market will give you? We’ll position your home to stand out, create demand, and use pricing, marketing, and negotiation to drive the strongest possible outcome.

Build My Selling Strategy

Move on your terms

Buy Before I Sell

Found your next home—or simply don’t want to sell first and figure out where you’re going later? You may be able to access your equity, buy first, move once, and sell your current home afterward.

Build My Move Strategy

Compare the tradeoff

Sell Off-Market

Want speed, certainty, or simply want to know what someone would pay without putting your home on the market? We can explore cash and off-market offers so you can compare the numbers before deciding what makes the most sense.

Compare Off-Market vs. Market Sale

Invest where it matters

Prepare My Home to Sell

Your home needs work, but that doesn’t necessarily mean you should spend thousands out of pocket before you sell. We’ll identify the improvements that could actually improve your outcome—and explore ways to fund them using your equity when it makes sense.

Meet Leslie

Sales, marketing, and customer service run in my blood.

I’ve spent the last 25 years becoming a master in marketing, sales, and customer service. I’m an entrepreneur at heart.

Before real estate, I successfully built a multi-six-figure fitness business called GoGirl Fitness Studio. That experience taught me how to market with intention, sell with integrity, and build real relationships that last.

Today, I bring that same mindset to helping homeowners in Longmont, Boulder County, and across Colorado’s Front Range sell smarter — not just list harder.

I’m also a fierce 40-something mom who loves fitness but immediately puts on her PJs the second she walks through the door — no matter the time of day.
