""After having my house sit on the market unsold w/multiple price cuts for 6 months, I needed to make a change. I removed my listing & made several improvements to the home, I went looking for a new realtor. I interviewed 4 realtors that I came across from personal research & recommendations. I decided to use Leslie primarily based on the virtual staging. I’ve read tons of research about how important staging is in the process of selling a home, but the cost to physically stage a whole house can get expensive pretty quickly. Leslie was able to digitally stage the house w/ furniture at zero cost to me, but it made a huge impact to how the home presented in pictures. The virtual staging allowed potential buyers to see what an otherwise empty house would look like fully furnished. Prior to listing (& pictures), Leslie made several small (but impactful) recommendations to improve the house’s marketability. We made the changes, got multiple offers immediately & closed successfully.""
-Edmond Home Seller - Cory R, Client
"Leslie and Tempe are two of the most outstanding real-estate agents in Oklahoma! From the initial meeting to our closing day, they were intentional, genuine, and hard-working. When selling your home, as owners, you need someone who will challenge your thought-process and educate you on current market trends and potential obstacles. They did that! Their skillsets and team dynamics worked as a wonderful partnership that resulted in a win-win for us. They even pushed back on some housing regulatory challenges that we had encountered during the process, showing their true willingness to represent us strongly.
There are a lot of real estate agents available for services - but after we had a potential buyer and a contract proposed for review within 4 hours after listing - my spouse and I knew we had chosen the right team. Their professionalism and charisma are a plus to their team profile - and we would strongly recommend with no reservations any potential client reach out to Leslie & Tempe!"

"Leslie was such a joy. She worked endlessly for our family, finding us our 1st home. Leslie is one of a kind. She is super sweet and genuine. She made us feel so comfortable. Like if we knew her for years. I was extremely picky and she never once made me feel like I was being too picky or difficult. We looked at several homes-mostly on weekends and evening due to my work schedule. She found us everything on our list plus a in ground pool. HUGE BONUS! She made the time and effort and was on top of everything including during closing. She fought for us, saved us time and money. I would recommend her to anybody who is serious about buying a house or land. I will be referring my family and friends to her. That's how phenomenal she is. Shout out to Tempe for all of her hard work too! I can't say enough about the both of you.. You all have made our dreams come true!!! Thank you so very much!!!!!

"My wife’s brother had a good experience working w/Leslie & Tempe in the past, so he recommended them to us. I am glad we went with his recommendation. Leslie &Tempe were great! They listened to what we were looking for& always seemed available to look at a house that we would find as we drove through the neighborhoods of Edmond. In addition, they gave us great insight into the different neighborhoods. Once we did find the home we wanted, once again they gave us background on the house and helped us formulate a good first offer. We think we got a real bargain on the house. After the initial negotiations, they gave us great referrals inspectors. They stayed on top of all the details throughout the process. We were able to close within 30 days of 1st offer. Always professional & very patient i/all of our questions! They caught a few things in our paperwork that we did not notice! If you want a real estate team that will help your find the home of your dreams, then look no further!"
-Mark & Diana, Client
"I highly recommend Leslie Berndt of McGraw Realtors
Purchasing a home from one thousand miles away ran smoothly due to Leslie’s hard work ethic, attention to detail, and honesty which I appreciated. She worked tirelessly with a positive attitude. One example of these traits is she pulled the attic ladder down and climbed it to verify that a repair on the seller’s to do list had been done. Now that’s a Pro!

-Carol L, Client
"Leslie is absolutely amazing! My wife and I loved working with Leslie-she will not stop until she finds you what your looking for. She will handle your purchase from the start until your moving in, She’s great to work with, very classy, very respectful & please don’t be fooled with her sweetness...she can definitely put a fight for you if needed! Highly recommend!"
-Rabih & Missy Kalidy, Client
"We were moving back to Oklahoma and they worked with us even before we ever left Atlanta. They kept in touch long distance and once we finally moved listened to all of our wants. They were great to work with and found our perfect house the first day. Leslie knew just what we were looking for and was a really listener. She was a dream to work and handled everything so professional from the house hunting to the final closing. I would recommend them to anyone buying or selling their house."
-Betsy & Jeff Newton, Client
"Leslie Berndt has definitely shown me what a good realtor can do! Not only does she meet her role as a realtor, she will take her interest beyond the maximum duties. She never inflected her thoughts into my thinking. She is very attentive & has her clients interest at heart.
There are 2 big reasons why I would refer Leslie in a heart beat- that is knowing she will do ALL she can to see that the transition goes smoothly. Leslie knew my closing was the next day. With a move the next morning, I would not be able to have the carpets cleaned & dried. Leslie offered & brought her own carpet cleaner & cleaned all the carpets in my home … this was beyond the call! Secondly, Leslie offered to meet with my locksmith the following day & wait while he replaced & re-drilled the locks at the new home. She has gone beyond the call of duty and has exceptionally performed beyond her role as an outstanding realtor. I will always refer Leslie to anyone who needs a great realtor!"
-Bonnie Swindall, Client
"My family and I recently moved to Oklahoma from out of state. It was by chance we came in contact with Leslie. From the moment I spoke to her over the phone I knew I was in good hands. We spoke frequently prior to our trip out to Oklahoma. Leslie's priority from the beginning was finding my family and my perfect home. She made us feel like we were her only clients, always giving us her full attention. When we met in person she took a lot of time helping us find our home. After we found our home she constantly kept us up to date with the build and always going over to the house to make sure things were getting done. I never had to worry having her as our representative. She is the utmost professional, and knows her job extremely well. She is truly THE BEST!"

Leslie Berndt fulfills her role as a realtor beyond the maximum duties. She has never inflected her thoughts into my thinking. She is very attentive & has her clients interest at heart. There are two exceptions that causes this realtor to stand out among others. One is, knowing that after closing on my new purchase & move in date was the next morning, I was not able to have the carpets cleaned. This fine lady offered & brought her own carpet cleaner & cleaned all the carpets in my home. This is way beyond the call! Secondly & knowing, I had to be back to work & not available to meet the locksmith she offered & met him at my new home for the locks to be re-drilled, She has gone beyond the call of duty & has exceptionally performed beyond her role as a fine realtor. I will always refer her to anyone I know who needs a great realtor. Leslie Berndt is an exceptional realtor who finds pleasure in seeing & knowing her clients are pleased & happy.

"We strongly recommend Leslie Berndt. Besides being a joy to work with, Leslie is thorough and efficient. She is good at listening, easily available, and always quick to return our calls and texts. Leslie was always willing to answer questions and discuss our concerns.. She provided valuable advice and guidance to us throughout the stressful time of both buying and selling. Leslie always represented us in a professional manner. Her knowledge and attention to detail provided us with a smooth and pleasant property sale and purchase."
-Richard & Gail Hammervold, Client
"Due to factors outside of her control, my home buying experience was more stressful than it could have otherwise been. Tempe did a fantastic job of keeping me calm and informed, and gave expert advice throughout the process. She was great about providing an unbiased opinion, and always kept up communication with me, even working around my hectic work schedule. She stayed committed to finding the right home for me, and I am very happy with the result. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone searching for a home in Oklahoma City."
-David Douglass, Client
""Tempe helped my husband and I to find a new house in Edmond when we moved from Texas last year. She was sooo helpful in finding the perfect place for us. In a market that was so crazy, she really helped to keep us calm and in the know. And on top of that she was a lot of fun. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a realtor."

"Leslie has been a pleasure to work with the last 3 plus years. We have been looking for the right home to buy for a long time and she never gave up on us. When we did find the right home to purchase she was very attentive to our needs on both the purchase and sale of our existing home. Attention to detail and response to our needs was outstanding. I would recommend Leslie to anyone in need of a realtor.

"Positive: Professionalism, Quality, Responsiveness, Value
My cousin recommended Leslie as she told me she was great. My cousin was 100% right. Leslie is a wonderful realtor and we consider her a friend and family now. She not only went to quite a bit of houses for us while we were not in town, she found our perfect home for us. We cannot wait to visit with her again. She is an absolute joy to be around. She walked us through the process with ease, we had gotten a few other houses and Leslie and team made things simple for us since we were out of state buyers. I just can’t say enough about how wonderful she is.

"We have used Leslie and her partner Tempe for several sales. I would use them AGAIN. They were diligent, professional, and easy to work with. They offered several suggestions which made the sale go smoothly, for top dollar.
