In Leanne's Own Words:
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 37 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 a very knowledgeable and enthusiastic professional who took away most of the anxiety surrounding the sale of our house. She knows the market very well - especially in the S. Surrey area. She was recommended to us by former neighbours and friends who had used her services. Leanne went above and beyond our expectations and became not only our agent but our friend. The presentation brochure she produced on our house was so beautiful, we would have been keen buyers if we weren’t the sellers! We would highly recommend Leanne to anyone seeking to buy or sell a house. - Merv and Barbara Lutes

Condo Sale in Uptown, White Rock | Jul 2022
From start to finish, Leanne was very pleasant, professional and effective! Beginning with her analysis of the market and suggested pricing strategy, followed by rapidly attaining a full price offer, and working through all the details to a successful close, I was very pleased with her performance. For reference, her suggested listing price was higher than the other agent I interviewed. Throughout the entire process she took care of every detail in a timely and professional manner. In addition to being professional and effective, she is very pleasant – so much so that it felt like we were family! In summary, Leanne is an outstanding realtor and I would be very happy to work with her again. - Rick Cooper

Condo Sale in Uptown, White Rock | Jul 2022
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
Townhome Purchase in Cloverdale, Surrey | Jun 2022
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.

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
Condo in Uptown, White Rock, BC | Aug 2021
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

As a first-time homebuyer, I wouldn’t have wanted anyone else in my corner.

Home Sale in Langley City, Langley, BC | Mar 2020
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 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

Condo Sale in Uptown, White Rock, BC | Aug 2021
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
