Celebrating 30 plus years in the Real Estate industry, the bubbly Leanne de Souza has spent most of her life in the Vancouver area and is very familiar with British Columbia’s lower mainland region. Since childhood, Leanne maintains a genuine love for two things: people and houses. Testifying to her giftedness in her career is a track record of consistently selling, no matter the market. In 2003 Leanne and family settled in the South SurreyWhite Rock area and has been there ever since.
Over the years, Leanne has enjoyed working with people from all walks of life, backgrounds and ages. As well, Leanne finds herself in the midst of being in the “sandwich generation”, describing herself as a “pre-senior”, with adult children launching into independence, and parents facing the challenges that come with aging. Leanne has recently obtained her SRES® (Seniors’ Real Estate Specialist designation). A large part of Leanne's clientele has shifted to down-sizers navigating the many aspects towards retirement living. Because of her own experience, she is very familiar with their concerns, like when to move, when to stay, financing, and accessibility. The SRES certification has given Leanne contacts in the senior-living community and the resources to walk through these steps, with empathy for the challenges that come with the downsizing season.
Moving is one of life’s greatest stresses. Understandably, for seniors the years of emotional attachment might add to the difficulty of beginning a new chapter but looking ahead to a lower-maintenance leisurely lifestyle, especially with a Realtor® who understands the unique challenges that come with selling a home, eases the process.
Leanne is always open to meet for a cup of tea with anyone who has questions or concerns about real estate as it pertains to their unique situation. Face-to-face remains her favourite form of communication (as it has been for over 30 years!) with the understanding that it is no-obligation and non-pressure. Ask anyone who has met her, she is the real deal and puts her heart into every transaction and relationship.
Leanne is very friendly, kind and caring. She is a good communicator and is very professional. She went above and beyond to help the sale of my condo to go smoothly. She did a wonderful job and it was a great experience. - Helen Olsen
Reply: It was wonderful to help you with your successful sale and move to Calgary. I really enjoyed working with you and I wish you well and relocating closer to your family. Blessings to you Helen.
I referred Leanne to my mother-in-law to sell her apartment. which she actually sold 3 times due to two previous buyers who backed out due to financing. She provided awesome communication on progress and assistance in eliminating grinding by the buyers on inspection. Such a PRO! My mother-in-law is so very pleased with her and thankful for such a great realtor. Our recommendation is for any seller (particularly if you are elderly) to call Leanne - she is the best! PS - I'm a Realtor in Calgary since 2005 and I don't hand out praise willy nilly. - Gord Sears
Reply: Thanks so much Gord. It was a delight to work with your Mom and I so appreciated your awesome input. I will be sure to refer you to any clients moving out to Calgary and so grateful I earned your trust in helping you with a member of your family.
Leanne is the perfect blend of friendliness and professionalism and made the stressful process of purchasing a home all the easier. I have a non-English speaking family with little knowledge on homes and Leanne was very patient with us, never pressuring us into anything, and showed us her knowledgeability by giving sound advice and tips we could never even have thought of. She is extremely responsive, beyond working hours, through illness or injury, and was happy to answer any questions we had. She also was able to connect us with her equally friendly and professional contacts for extraneous work we needed to have done, and supported us in every way, all the way.

Leanne is an amazing realtor. She sold our home quickly for asking price. She is helping us find our new home. She is incredibly knowledgeable, hardworking and a joy to work with. She is such a pleasure to work with. Always available when you need her. Leanne is the only realtor I would recommend, - Renee Bellefleur
Reply: I have so enjoyed working with you both. I can’t wait to help you find the perfect next home where you can finally establish some roots. It has been a wonderful journey so far and I am so blessed to work with awesome people like yourselves.
We would highly recommend Leanne to our friends or family. Her long career in real estate shows through in her knowledge and how she “took us through the process”. She is very professional and is well connected. “Leanne” was the first name that came to mind more recently when we were worrying over a house sitter. She solved that for us too. Leanne is a wonderful lady to work with! - Heather and Steve Ball
Reply: It was such wonderful to work with you both. I was delighted to hear from you recently when you needed to find a house sitter. Thank you for your kind words.
Leanne I have worked with for years and there was simply no one else I trusted to help my son buy his first home. She always keeps her clients needs first in mind and works tirelessly to make sure they are taken care of. Her knowledge and passion for her job make buying or selling a home a comfortable experience because you know she will always have your back. - Rowenna Losin
Reply: It was a complete honor to help Madison and Duncan purchase their first home. They are completely adorable and it was an exciting journey to find the perfect condo. Thank you ever so much for giving me the privilege of working for your family.
I chose Leanne DeSouza as my agent from this Rate-My-Agent website, and I'm so glad I did! I was looking for someone who knew intimately the local White Rock real estate scene, and who was kind and who would represent MY interests. Leanne was patient - she showed me 38 condos, all of which conformed to my "must have" list and most of my "wish list". Over the weeks that she took me to see condos, she also helped me to downsize and stage my previous condo. I bought a great condo with Leanne's help, and my previous condo was sold in short order by Leanne. It's been eight months since all that happened, and I'm still a happy customer. If I move again, I would go straight to Leanne. Thank you Leanne! - Nancy Coates
Reply: I loved helping you find such an awesome condo which is just perfect for you. It was a wonderful journey for me as well. I look forward to helping you in the future.
Leanne was kind and super knowledgeable in advising me in my recent real estate transaction. I've been known her for many years. I highly recommend chatting with Leanne for all your real estate needs - Michelle Kim
Reply: I enjoyed helping your family buy and sell your homes over the years. I also highly recommend your family business, Econo Movers, for professional moving services. Thank you Michelle!
Leanne has done great work with my notary practise. She has always delivered files with professionalism, knowing the timelines and complexities of some non-financial and financial encumbrances. We always have a great experience with Leanne and look forward to many years of seamless transactions. - Gordon Hepner
Reply: Thanks Gordon - I always know when I refer business to Cammack Hepner Notary office my clients will receive top notch service as well. I appreciate our business relationship.
Leanne is enthusiastic, personable, and professional. She serves her clients with the utmost care and is genuinely concerned for each and every aspect of the Real Estate process. We recommend her without reservation - Marilee Congo
Reply: Thank you Marilee. I value your business and have enjoyed working with you.
As a first-time homebuyer, I wouldn’t have wanted anyone else in my corner. Leanne went above and beyond, every step of the way, to ensure that I had everything I needed to feel completely comfortable with the purchase. Anyone who is looking for a highly knowledgeable realtor who will put your needs first should get in touch with Leanne. I, for one, will be recommending her services to everyone I know. - Marisa Lee
Reply: I so enjoyed working with you Marisa. It was a delight to help you and in the past your brother, parents and even Grandmother. You have a wonderful family. I wish you years of happiness in your condo.
Our family has worked with Leanne for the purchase and sale of three family homes over the past 30 years. She also represented us through the purchase and sale of an investment property. Most recently Leanne guided us through the emotionally difficult process of selling my mother’s home as we moved her to a senior’s facility. Leanne’s commitment to integrity was evident at every turn during the entire process and she showed great sensitivity to the needs of the parties involved. She assisted us before listing with advice about what repairs or changes would be advantageous for the sale of the home and helped with staging. When an offer was made on the property, Leanne handled the negotiation process with honesty, sensitivity and attention to detail. Mom’s feelings about the process were always the first consideration. We will always be grateful for how kind and professional Leanne was during the whole process of selling Mom’s place. Our family would not hesitate to call on Leanne again in the future for the sale or purchase of a home or investment property because of her professionalism, integrity and kindness. Highly recommend! - Kim Navarro
We worked with Leanne to sell my dad's townhouse. My dad fell ill during the transaction but Leanne was able to help us navigate this challenge as well as helping us with resources for downsizing my dad's belongings as he transitioned to assisted living. - Tom Caspersen
We have bought and sold with Leanne TWICE and couldn't be happier. She goes above and beyond with her clients, really knows the market, and is a wonderful person to boot. - Leanne Tremblay
Reply: I have enjoyed working with you and Peter each time you have bought and sold! Takes a wonderful person to know a wonderful person!!! :)
Leanne was the epitome of efficiency, tirelessness, and professionalism and helped us find and purchase our first home together. She helped us navigate the selling and buying process so well that it was very low stress for us. She was very authentic in all her dealings with us which was key in us figuring out what we really needed and wanted, as we didn't know this in the beginning - but she was able to steer us towards a realistic vision. We would definitely call on her again, and highly recommend her as she is a really great realtor and an awesome person, who definitely listens to the needs of her clients and advises accordingly. Thank you Leanne! - Sharon and Gord

Reply: I truly enjoyed working with you Michelle to sell your first condo. You did such an excellent job in your renovations. It was an absolute pleasure to assist you.
I'm the sister who was wingman when my sister Nancy sold her condo on Thrift and bought a condo on North Bluff, both in White Rock. I found Leanne on Rate-My-Agent and had high hopes. Wow! First, Leanne (and her wonderful helper Elsa) staged the condo, and that involved some major shuffling. Leanne prepared high quality marketing material, including professional photos and someone who measured and made the floor plan. She began showing the place - and there were interested people that same day! Meantime, she took us (including yet another sister) to six or eight places to look at in a day, and there were many days. What patience! We had prepared a list of "must haves", "want-to-have" and a budget. Leanne took us to places that met those criteria, and even showed one that was lower budget and one that was higher budget, just so we would know the difference. At last, we entered a condo that was just a little different from our list, and THAT WAS IT! And Leanne's job was not nearly finished. Now she finessed all the details, from inspection, to lawyer, to making the deals for both the sold and the bought condo, and the timing. Oh my. Quality! And then, she had contacts for everything else - from packing help, to moving, to handyman services. So YES, we recommend Leanne, whether you are selling, buying, or both. She knows the area of White Rock, she knows buildings and builders. And I don't' know how she manages to stay so cheerful and optimistic - we surely appreciated her! I wouldn't consider anybody but Leanne for our future real estate transactions! Pamela and Nancy - Pamela Baxter
Reply: Thank you Pamela and Nancy. It was a pleasure to assist you in the sale of your beautifully renovated condo and the pursuit of a new condo on North Bluff Road. It was an absolute delight to work with you all. I hope Nancy will enjoy her new home for years to come.
Leanne provided a very personalized service and went above and beyond in her support leading us through the selling process. We look forward to working with her again in the future. - Gina G
Reply: Thank you Gina. It was an absolute pleasure to walk you through the process of selling your family's condo. It was definitely a process and a delight to work with your family. I wish you all the best.
Leanne is a trustworthy and ethical agent with a solid moral compass. At the same time, she represents her clients with conviction and respectful fortitude. I appreciated her incredible response time, her knowledge of the White Rock Area, and her commitment to her clients. Her ultimate goal is a satisfied client on every level. I would recommend Leanne and I would definitely use her again to buy or sell. Thank you Leanne for helping me purchase my new home! - C Hughes
Reply: Working with you Charla was a complete delight. I hope you enjoy your view condo in White Rock on our lovely summer nights. It was an absolute pleasure working with such a first class lady. I look forward helping you in the future.

Leanne is the best realtor we have ever had! We initially contacted her based on the huge volume of excellent online reviews. When you work with Leanne, it is quickly apparent how experienced and knowledgeable she is in the world of real estate. She is very friendly, upbeat and has good rapport with other agents. This greatly helped us succeed in purchasing a property in our price range during this overly competitive market. Leanne responds very promptly with communication and she was quite helpful in working around our availability when we were viewing properties. We would not hesitate to recommend Leanne! - Brendan Keith & Simone Salazar

From the moment we first talked, I knew I had a top notch professional on my team. Let's do business again.
Leanne was wonderful to work with during the recent sale of our house. She was very responsive and efficient. We listed with Leanne on Friday, the pictures and video was completed over the weekend and the house sold on Monday.

We will be calling Leanne again next time we need to buy or sell! - Bruce & Mary-Ann

What a pleasure working with Leanne over these past few years! Leanne heart shines through and it’s so clear she cares about her clients – not just about buying or selling another property. When Anna and I recently got married and decided to purchase a condo, Leanne was there for us, guiding our way through the multitude of options in White Rock and Surrey. Her personal experience in this market was invaluable – as was her patience with our lengthy search. Leanne’s personal touch and dedication really helped us find our dream home in Edgewater. As a matter of fact, we held our reception right in the fantastic amenities center here! Leanne even helped us set out our catering during the wedding! Talk about personalized service! When the time came for Anna and I to buy our dream home – on Vancouver Island, we immediately called Leanne. On an extremely tight deadline, Leanne prepared an amazing feature sheet and write-up. She gave us just the right advice on pricing and how best to present our condo for sale. She wisely had a floor-plan professionally taken – which confirmed our unit was indeed larger than our strata documents specified. Leanne told us she would do her best to have our home in Edgewater sold by my birthday (November 25). Two showing later, we had an offer on November 28! And a second offer on November 30. Today (December 3), we had our final subject’s removed and we are on our way to our island home. Well Leanne, you are a few days late, but what an amazing job you have done!!! We can’t thank you enough for your hard work, professionalism and wise advice! Warmly, - George and Anna
Reply: It was an absolute pleasure to assist you with your real estate needs. I am so happy we were able to stick to your deadline. It was my goal to get your home sold quickly in time for your birthday. As you told me, you are use to celebrating your birthday for a whole week - thus I was keeping this in my mind. :). I wish you a belated Happy Birthday; Merry Christmas and joy and good health Island style for 2020.
As a first time home buyer I found the whole process overwhelming but Leanne's knowledge and thorough research helped me immensely. She also pushed us to look at properties that we would not have normally chosen - based on her experience and insight - which ended up in a successful purchase for myself and my husband. Leanne was diligent and extremely hard working in accommodating our needs and wants and we are so grateful to her. We are now happy home owners! - Sharon Arwick
Reply: It was fun finding the right home. I remember we started our home search thinking a one level townhome would be desirable. We ended up finding the perfect 2 story with basement. Now you have a place for all those hobbies and games Gord enjoys! I am so glad you are enjoying your home and privileged to help you find just the right place to call home.
As first time home buyers, Leanne was AMAZING. She let us take our time, never pressured us, and would give her honest opinion when we asked for it. She always answered our questions quickly and walked us through the entire process. Any questions we had about mortgage, lawyers, insurance, etc she was willing to help! We are so grateful that Leanne helped us find our perfect first home! I would wholeheartedly recommend Leanne to anyone looking to buy or sell! - Emma
Reply: Thanks so much for your kind words. I was truly so excited to work with you both to help you find your first home. It was a pleasure in helping your grandparents sell their townhome while moving into independent living this year. I feel like an old realtor after selling 3 generations of your family!! Happy moving day tomorrow! I am so happy for you and Guido!
Patient, professional, dedicated, tenacious, bubbly, genuine, warm spirited are just some of the words I would use to describe Leanne de Souza as our Realtor. She is truly an amazing Realtor and who goes above and beyond for her clients, always putting their needs first and putting you at ease through the stressful process of buying and selling your home. Her genuine care of her clients is evident along every step of the way and I would without question recommend Leanne to anyone who buying or selling their home. - Jamie Wollenzin
Reply: I enjoyed helping you with your recent purchase as well when I had the pleasure of selling your last home and the time before. I had the pleasure of working for you when it was just you and John. It has been a delight to watch your family grow and be a part of your real estate story. Thank you.
Leanne has been my trusted realtor for almost 30 years. With patience and expertise, she guided my husband and I through the process of purchasing our starter home, a townhouse in Richmond. When our daughter was born, and we decided to move nearer my parents, Leanne was there once more. Tirelessly multitasking and networking, she secured us a successful sale. Then, using her excellent communication skills, Leanne gained a detailed understanding of what we wanted in our next home, and used this to search out suitable listings for us to view. Thus, it wasn’t long before we walked into the house that would be home for the next 20 years. When it came time to downsize in 2016, there was no question of whom we wanted to assist us. I was teaching full-time and feeling overwhelmed. Leanne went above and beyond, helping get our home ready to show, skillfully marketing it, and securing us an excellent price. Leanne is a realtor, and person, whom you can trust absolutely to put your needs and interests first. Furthermore, she employs her wealth of experience and skill to create a positive process and outcome for her clients. Needless to say, I recommend Leanne without hesitation. - Tamsin McKenzie
Reply: Tamsin, I loved working for your family. It has been an absolute pleasure to assist you with your real estate needs. I am so happy now you have found a lovely home in Salt Spring. After 30 years of real estate, it is my absolute pleasure to see my clients through the years meet their real estate needs. Thank you for allowing me be part of this!
Team work makes the dream work! Upon meeting Leanne we instantly knew we could trust her to expertly guide us through the process of selling our home of 30 years and the purchase of our retirement home. Leanne was kind, respectful, knowledgeable,diligent,hardworking and well connected in our community. We are forever grateful. - Janet Scott
Reply: From the moment I met you and Kelly, I was thrilled to be your agent. I was so excited that everything magically fell into place. It was exciting to not only get an accepted offer on your place but a back up offer to boot!!! I am happy we were able to find the right next home after 30 years. Downsizing is not always easy. I am hoping the next chapter of your life holds some of the best times ahead.
Leanne de Souza is very sincere,honest and impeccable in her professionalism and expertise. She is extremely cheerful, positive and enthusiastic.Our home was sold in 2 days and Leanne guided us with incredible knowledge and patience to our new home. We would not hesitate to highly recommend Leanne to satisfy all your real estate needs. - Trevor and Jane O'Neil
Reply: I sincerely appreciated the opportunity to work with you both. Downsizing from a large townhome since brand new is challenging especially during health challenges. I was excited to recommend Upscale Downsizing with design and renovations. Your place looks beautiful. I wish you health and joy in your new home.
Leanne helped us purchase our first home in 2003(for sale by owner) and our second in 2018. Both times she made sure we were aware of the type of market we were in, she was fast, efficient and clearly knowledgeable! You cannot beat experience. - Terri Menzies
Reply: I so enjoyed once again working with you and Duncan. I had fun with the house hunting process to find the right townhome in Langley. Congratulations on the grand baby. Where does the time go!!!
From the first time we met Leanne, when we didn't have an agent, we knew that she was the one that we wanted to list our property and to help us find a new property. She wasn't pushy, and listened to our needs and wants for both the buy and sell. She worked tirelessly to help complete our sale and didn't let up on showing as many properties that were on the market for our particular requirements. Even once the sale and purchase went through she provided references for some excellent trades people to help with the remodel of our new property. - Tony Hadlow
Reply: Tony and Alicia- From the moment I met you I wanted to work with you. You were absolutely delightful to work through the buying and selling process. As always it’s been my passion to help my clients find the right home. It was an absolute pleasure working with such a lovely couple as yourselves. The best part of my job is to work with people like you. I am so happy that you are enjoying your new home and allowed me to be part of the process.
As a first-time homebuyer, I wouldn’t have wanted anyone else in my corner. Leanne went above and beyond, every step of the way, to ensure that I had everything I needed to feel completely comfortable with the purchase. Anyone who is looking for a highly knowledgeable realtor who will put your needs first should get in touch with Leanne. I, for one, will be recommending her services to everyone I know. - Marisa Lee
Reply: It has been an absolute privilege to help you with your home purchase. I was thrilled 25 years ago to help your parents find a home. It was an honor than to work with your wonderful grandmother with her real estate needs and then to have your brother, Nigel, call me to help him find his first home. I was over the moon to work for you as it is an honor to have your family put so much trust in me. As a realtor working in her third decade of real estate, it is all that I hope for to work with your whole family. I wish you years of happiness in your first home.
I hired Leanne to sell my home. Previously we tried to sell for 3 years. I called Leanne for an early morning appointment to list my house. She got it on the market immediately. Once the sign was up by 9 am we got the first call. This person bought the house in an hour time. I would recommend her highly. She is excellent; kind and considerate. We were very happy and appreciate her enthusiasm. We love our new apartment in beautiful White Rock which she also helped us find. - Elsa and Martin Viksten
Reply: Thank you Elsa and Martin. I so enjoyed working for you both in helping you achieve your goals to move to White Rock. You were a delight to work for!
Leanne is an excellent realtor and anyone would be lucky to use her. She knows the industry so well and gives you a full 360 approach to selling (or buying). - Reagan Colpitts
Reply: Thanks Reagan- it was a super delight to help you buy your first home.
Reply: Reagan it was a delight to help you find your first condo as well as navigate how to help you get Hines approved by strata despite pet restrictions. I am so glad it worked out.
Leanne worked extremely diligently with my brother’s and I. We successfully sold my Mom’s home and Leanne supported us every step of the way. She will definitely be my realtor again. - Michelle Merry
Reply: It was a pleasure to work for your family. Thank you for allowing me the privilege to work with you during a difficult time. Your Mom was a great lady who I will always remember.
Leanne was wonderful! She helped my sister buy a property long-distance from Toronto, and then helped her line up renos. Leanne's customer service went above and beyond. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for both warmth and excellent professionalism. - Barbara Richards
Reply: Thank you Barbara! What a task it was to help your sister purchase a property without physically being here. I was so grateful that you were her eyes and ears. I am also happy she managed to purchase a condo before the market took off. It was such a pleasure to work with you both. You must love having your sister so close by.
