| Happy holidays from the family!
Taken Christmas Day 2015 in Charleston. |
Dear Friends,
I'm back! Between the wedding, honeymoon, moving, and the holidays, November and December were a bit of a blur; however, I am happy to be back and ready to start the new year strong.
Professionally speaking, 2015 was a wonderful year for me; I thank all of you who chose me to represent you in the last 12 months. It was truly a pleasure, and I look forward to the new personal and professional relationships my business will afford me in this year to come. I truly love what I do, and it is made possible by those of you out there who seek professional service when it comes to buying and selling your homes. Thank you, and let's see what we can do together in 2016! Sincerely, Leize Gaillard

Real Estate Goals for 2016: More Happy Buyers... and Sellers!
Thanks to my clients and the support I receive from William Means, 2015 was a wonderful year. I look forward to keeping the momentum going in 2016.
The majority of my business in 2015 was with Buyer-Clients--several first time buyers and others who are more seasoned property owners. I love working with buyers, and I expect this to continue to be a large part of my business in 2016.
This year, I also look forward to expanding my client base on the Selling side. If you are thinking about listing your home this year, I hope you will consider giving me a call to learn more about my approach and commitment to service.
I look forward to serving you in 2016!
