"Lanie and David were excellent to work with. They displayed appropriately aggressive and creative negotiation tactics that helped us secure our home. They also have a very strong understanding of the local market with great relationships and knowledge of off-market listings.
We really enjoyed getting to know them and would highly recommend them as a real estate agent!"

"Working with Hardy Cosgrove Real Estate was the best decision I made as a first-time homebuyer. Lanie and David went above and beyond to make the process smooth and stress-free. They were patient, knowledgeable, and always available to answer my questions, which made what could have been overwhelming feel easy. I couldn’t have asked for a better team to guide me through buying my first home!"

"Leslie was absolutely a delight to work with—practical, knowledgeable, and straightforward, great at explaining every part of the process, and also FUN! She made me laugh over and over again throughout our search, and I always felt taken care of and completely at ease knowing Leslie was working her real estate magic. I absolutely recommend her a thousand times over to anyone looking for a realtor!"
Jane Sasso
"I wish I could post 1000 stars! Leslie had our backs from the moment we met her. She is utterly professional, insightful, knowledgeable, and wicked good at her job. She dealt with everyone- seller, multiple inspectors, insurance guy, checked on the neighbors, even worked our negotiations while she was on vacation!! She even went to city hall and looked up old records! Her industry contacts are incredible. I can’t emphasize how fabulous it was to interact with her- total integrity, respect, humor, kindness, and just plain hard working. I wouldn’t work with anyone else. You are indeed fortunate if you get the chance to work with Leslie Hardy!"
Martha Jager
"I used Leslie to purchase my home several years ago on a friend's recommendation, and recently chose her again to handle the sale. Her approach to pricing and strategy was very effective and I received an above-asking price offer the opening weekend of the listing. Leslie understands the market and knows how to position a property appropriately. The selling process was smooth and efficient. Leslie and David were communicative from the outset and quick to respond anytime I needed them all the way through the closing. Having worked with her twice now, I can confidently say she delivers consistent, professional service and would recommend the Hardy Cosgrove team to others."

"Lanie and her team recently sold our home and they did an outstanding job!!! Lanie took care of any concerns that she had regarding preparing the home for sale. She instructed us on what we needed to do and took care of staging it, repairing anything that she felt needed attending to, frankly EVERYTHING!!! She got us a great offer for the home and it was sold within days. We can't recommend her and her team enough and if you have a home to sell you should definitely talk to her about doing the same wonderful job she did for us!!"
