About Me

My name is Leilene and I was born and raised in Hawai’i but I currently reside in New York.  I am a Military Spouse and have two wonderful children. We have traveled across the United States for the past 13 years due to military relocation assignments. So, I’m no stranger to moving and relocating. This has helped me to learn and understand the constant changing in the housing market. I love growth personally and professionally. I am extremely passionate about my clients and people I work with. I have over 20+ years of experience working with people in different communities. I enjoy being outdoors and some of my favorite pastimes are fishing and spending time with family and friends.
