Leah is an outstanding realtor!! We are in our 60s and have closed on over a dozen different properties during our lifetime. Leah is by far the absolute best relator we have had. She is a top notch professional, dedicated, extremely hard working, personable, honest, patient, and most importantly an amazing communicator. She continually kept us up-to-date on the process (phone calls, emails, texts); clearly explained everything; and always reminded us to contact her with any questions. BTW - She sold our home is less than a week.
We worked with Leah to find a house on Bird Key and it was a positive, pleasant experience throughout. Leah knows all the Florida-specific rules and vagaries of the market, which was a great help when it came to closing on the house we eventually bought. She was focused and purposeful in her search with us; she knew what we were looking for and didn't waste our time with properties that didn't meet our specific location and pricing criteria. Leah also has a network of professional contacts who are very useful for people new to the area. We are very happy with the home we found and thank Leah for all her help. We would not hesitate to recommend her to people looking for a home, especially if they are coming from out-of-state.
My experience with your Company has been very positive and with Leah especially so. I only wish she could be here to help me sell my condo in Toronto. I wouldn’t hesitate to refer my fiends to Leah and wish her and Michael Saunders & Company every success.
Leah is by far THE BEST!!! She has gone over & above in helping Us sell Our present home & find a new one!!!
She is outstanding. She’s there every day of the week. At the least a phone call away that is returned in mere minutes. Not only does she have a winning personality but she is the most intelligent realtor that we’ve had the pleasure of working with. When she works for you it’s like there is no one else in her orbit. Her interest in your outcome is completely dedicated to you. We could not be more pleased with Leah. She epitomizes professionalism, concern for her client and a work ethic second to no one. Leah is excellent. Don and Sue Barrett
Leah worked with us on the purchase of our new home and we couldn't be happier with the service she provided. Her professionalism, responsiveness and knowledge of the market is outstanding. She eased our anxiety and was with us every step of the way. We are so grateful for Leah as it was a smooth and easy transaction. Thank you, Leah.
This was a 5-star experience!!! Leah is attentive, professional and "hands on" involved from the listing, the staging, and the selling! She gives great advice with a sense of humor. No one could be more well represented than I was with Leah! Thanks a million!!!
Leah is very knowledgeable about our area. She is an awesome resource and always takes the time to answer any questions in an exceptionally timely way. She is honest and caring and her newsletter about our community is great!
Leah Secondo has been our realtor for two home sales and one home purchase in the past couple of years! She is a true professional...and sees the marketplace with an honest perspective. As a result, her clients enter into selling and buying with realistic expectations. She makes detailed assessments and works diligently to make the selling/buying experience satisfying for everyone. Leah is always available and promptly responds to communications. Personable, pleasant, and knowledgeable, Leah exudes confidence and professionalism.
We have sold our property with Leah. It was a great experience for us how professional Leah everything managed. We sold the property in one week with the result which we have awaited. We can Leah high recommend to everybody.
I just want to thank you for a delightful night at the ball park, meeting new neighbors and eating great food. It was even fun watching the lightning show. I also want you to know how much I like your newsletter. I tried going to the meetings but couldn’t hear much of what was going on, so I depend on your newsletter for my information. Your concern for your neighbors and for Glen Lakes as a whole is greatly appreciated. Keep up the good work!
Leah was such a great help in staging our home and getting it ready for the crazy market we are in. She explained the whole process and took the stress out of it. She knows the Bradenton/Sarasota market very well. Buying or selling, you need to work with Leah!
It is a pleasure to give Leah Secondo my highest recommendation. I have worked with or observed many real estate agents over the years and find Leah to be the hardest working, most knowledgeable, and most professional of all the agents. It was exceptionally helpful to have an involved agent who was able to make reasonable suggestions for necessary tasks to be done before selling. Leah made a close realistic target date for getting the house on the market and met that target. She saved us many times with professional workers who did a fantastic job on short notice. Adding to the complication was that there were four sellers who were from out of town. But that was not a problem for her. She even used her personal time to fill in for us when we were all out of town. It was very pleasing to be kept informed quickly after every task was completed by text, email, and phone. Leah's knowledge of the area and market was exceptional which helped us get very close to our asking price. And her presentation of the house was very professional and complete from listings to open houses. The photos and online presentation even included drone pictures of the property. As a final note to her professionalism, even after the closing , she has worked with the new owners and us to share information about the house. It has been a pleasure to work with Leah Secondo and I would recommend her to anyone in need of real estate service.
Leah is professional in every sense of the word. She knows the area and will help find you a perfect home. She guides and helps clients throughout the entire buying process. I highly recommend Leah!
Leah has a great personality and is easy going with no pressures. She is very informative in the different communities that we were interested in. Leah was a great help in assisting us in finding a house that met all our needs/wants. It has been a pleasure in working with her and she has made our purchasing a house an easy journey! If you're looking for a realtor, place her at the top of your list..highly recommended by a very satisfied customer!
Leah was so wonderful in helping me sell my recently deceased father's home. I felt that she always had my best interests at heart. It was a difficult personal experience, and Leah handled all the business aspects perfectly. She is very experienced and has all the contacts needed to make the selling process seamless. I would recommend Leah to anyone needing a real estate agent in the area.
Leah made the sale of my first property in Glenn Lakes easy and was a strong negotiator. I appreciated her determination to get a proper offer on my home. Although I still live in another house in Glenn Lakes without any immediate plans to move, Leah is always accessible. She freely answers many questions that pop into my head regarding a current issue or a future concern. She is the Glenn Lakes expert!
Great experience! Leah is a true professional. Her knowledge of the market was instrumental in getting us the price we wanted for our home. She was hands on whenever we needed a question answered. We would highly recommened using Leah .
There is NO ONE that works harder than Leah Secondo. I have worked with Leah several times and would not want anyone else in my corner!!
I was very surprised to learn of the many details that pop up when you are selling your house . .Leah was very proficient in the way that she handled every small and every large detail. Harold Stiver
We bought our home in 2003 and had to move for work in 2006. Leah handled both our purchase and sale. She was professional, available, and superior in every way possible. Recently I needed some information and reached out to her. Again, she responded immediately with her usual excellent assistance. I would love to be back in Bradenton and if it were possible, she would be my first call. She is a five star realtor.
We have sold 3 homes with Leah this past year. She is knowledgeable and honest regarding all aspects of our real estate transactions. A true professional!!
We sold our FL home in the fall. We were so fortunate to have Leah as our realtor. We have bought and sold a number of properties over the years. However, we have NEVER worked with a professional like Leah. She is a pro in every sense of the word. We felt we could trust Leah to do the best thing by us and she did. I believe anyone who has Leah as their realtor, will be most pleased with the outcome. Bob and Judy Coil Marietta, OH
Leah was our realtor for the recent sale of our condo. She has a reputation that precedes her for being straight forward, tenacious when she needs to be and helpful in other areas that occur when selling a property. She took a great amount of pressure off us and guided us along the correct route both diligently and efficiently. She is an outstanding professional and would have no hesitation in recommending her to others and a great asset to Michael Saunders & Company. We were highly satisfied with her services and extremely pleased with the end product.
Our experience working with Leah has been a five star from the beginning. She provided expert advice at every step of the way and went above and beyond on many occasions. We had several personal challenges along the way which Leah helped us navigate with patience, empathy and expertise. Her guidance was invaluable. Leah is much more than just a realtor. We are so happy to have her on our side.
Leah was one of several well-qualified real estate professionals that I personally met with prior to my co-sellers (four of us) and I selecting her as the listing agent. Her extensive experience selling in the Glenn Lakes subdivision was a definite plus. I especially appreciated her "walkabout" of the interior and exterior at our initial meeting, during which she made a detailed list of essential repairs and suggested replacements. Frankly I was surprised that she gave me that list, suggesting I follow it whether she was selected or not. I was initially resistant to a few of her suggestions for what would be an "as is" sale of a 23 year old home in excellent condition, but came to see that her advice was "spot on" every time! When I felt unprepared to arrange for some of the "fixes" suggested, she knew who to call for prompt and competent work and even met me at stores to select a few upgrades. Leah arranged for photos and videos to showcase the home that were outstanding, including aerial ones taken with a drone. We were able to get the home on the market very quickly, with the initial (and accepted) offer made within 24 hours! Leah continued to help during the nearly two months before closing, by frequently checking on the empty home and meeting with service providers when I could not be there (all sellers in this estate situation live in different cities more than 1,000 miles away). Furthermore, there was never a time in which Leah did not promptly respond to every text or email. Leah is truly a hard-working professional who is passionate about what she does!
Leah did a tremendeous job to prepare and support the sale of our fully equiped vacation home. From our decision to sell due to the Corona pandemie we had only one week together for preparation before we had to leave to or home in Germany. Everything else had to be done in our absence via email or phone. Leah was most of the time available on short notice, took care of all the little issues which emerged in the process including cancellation of the respective services, minor repairs and so on. We had no prior experience in selling a home in USA and were comfortable with her guidance and advice all the way. She is a real professional and we can highly recommend her as agent.
“Thank you for all of your help with housing for our players again this spring. We couldn’t ask for the help of someone more aware of our players and staff’s needs and with more dedication to us. We really appreciate all of the hours you’ve spent making our players end up happy.”
Tenacious, focused and hardworking.
We have used Leah previously...it all started when she sold us our first home here in Florida, everything went according to plan. She is very efficient, honest and not "pushy". We then purchased an investment property and called Leah for her assistance...that too went well. Now, we are selling our home, called her and she is helping us with that as well as our newest purchase. I guess we think HIGHLY of Leah wouldn't you say? She is the BEST!!! A wonderful asset to Michael Saunders & Company.
We recently had the pleasure of working with Leah Secondo. She is a credit to your business!! She was personable, pleasant and more importantly knowledgeable. Having been a salesperson myself, although many years ago, I can tell you she went above and beyond her job requirements. We will definitely use Leah for any of our real estate needs in the future.

In 2020 I sold my home in Glenn Lakes and purchased a condo at the Harborage. At the time, I was very recently widowed. I remembered Leah’s advertisement as an expert in the area and so decided to work with her after interviewing two other realtors. Throughout the process, Leah was an absolute professional who made sure that everything went as smoothly as possible. It was a relief to me that I could count on Leah at such a difficult time. She found me a wonderful place to live, and we sold my home quickly. Both of my transactions went very well due to her efforts and wealth of experience in the industry. Since then, I have remarried, which necessitated selling my condo this past January. I never considered another agent. Leah sold my condo in eight days. It was a pleasure working with her – and – even though I knew she would do a great job, she still managed to impress me again. To anyone looking for a realtor, call Leah; you can trust her.
My husband and I recently considered to take on the daunting task of preparing, staging, listing, and selling our home. With the professional help of Leah Secondo, this potentially overwhelming process was approached with extreme efficiency, thus rewarding us with ease during the transition. We were very impressed and confident in Leah's expertise and advice. She informed us what needed to be done and furthermore, related whom to call to get the job done. Leah's acute attention to detail, and her sincere interest in listening to our needs to help meet our goals, well exceeded our expectations. We highly recommend Leah Secondo to anyone considering any real estate transactions. You, too, will be very highly satisfied and extremely impressed.
Leah was fabulous - she was so helpful in introducing me to Sarasota and finding all of the available properties for me that met my wish list. A stellar agent. Thank you, Leah.
I have had the opportunity to work on several closings with Leah. She has been a consummate professional. I have observed her navigate through some difficult transactions while constantly maintaining her professionalism and composure. Anyone buying or selling is in excellent hands with Leah. As a real estate lawyer, I work with many Realtors and each of my experiences with Leah have been positive and I have watched her serve her customers very well. I would gladly recommend her to friends and family.
20 some years ago when my husband and I retired and moved to Florida, Leah was the listing agent for the house in Glenn Lakes that we purchased and enjoyed as our home for many years. When my husband passed and the time came for me to sell and move closer to my kids, there was no one else I thought of to sell my home other than Leah. She has been a wonderful neighbor in Glenn Lakes and knows the area like no one else. She's trustworthy, down-to-earth and no nonsense. She made the process as easy as possible while making sure that everything was done by the book and in a clear and transparent way for both me and the buyer. I wholeheartedly recommend Leah!
Leah Secondo is a consummate professional with comprehensive and intimate knowledge of the real estate market in and around Bradenton Florida. She is honest, trustworthy and calm. Leah did a wonderful job with my real estate sale in Glenn Lakes and she receives my highest recommendation. Thanks Leah.
We had such a wonderful experience with Leah when purchasing our home in Sarasota. She made the whole process, from beginning to end, a breeze. She’s receptive, easy to talk to, and very knowledgeable about the industry. We walked away with a beautiful new home, as well as a friend. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for a real estate agent!
This was a 5 star experience!!! Leah is attentive, professional and "hands on" involved from the listing, the staging, and the selling!! She gives great advice with a sense of humor. No one could be more well represented than I was with Leah!!! Thanks a million!!!
Leah found a wonderful property in the Meadows for me. She was there from start to finish, with great advice and support. She made what could have been a extremely stressful experience of finding and buying a home: carefree and enjoyable. Leah is the consummate professional and I can't thank her enough for all her hardwork and support.
Leah helped us purchase a home in Bradenton and we could not have been more pleased with her. We have been involved in buying and selling real estate for over 20 years and Leah ranks at the top of all realtors we have worked with. She was great to communicate with us and was so knowledgeable about the area. She also helped us find sub-contractors in the area. I can’t recommend her highly enough!
I have bought and sold 5 homes over the course of the past 8 years or so and I have to say that Leah is the most efficient and knowledgeable person I have ever worked with. I greatly appreciated her help and have been extremely pleased with the contacts she gave me for the services I needed. I cannot begin to say how thankful I am for her support.
We moved from Tampa to Glenn Lakes in Bradenton -- completely new to the area. Although we were the buyer and Leah was the seller's agent, Leah was extremely helpful in interpreting HOA bylaws, giving us resources such as lawn care, handimen, painters etc. She was very honest about the house and professional In every aspect of the transaction. We highly recommend her.
Leah is very knowledgeable and extremally professional. She was there at every step of the process from the search to the inspections to the closing. She was on the ball before we even knew it was in the court. After the closing was completed, she was still there when we needed help meeting contractors. She went above and beyond our expectations and we look forward to working with her again. Thank you Leah!
Leah you gave my life a very special touch and here's a note to tell you thank you very much for helping me with the sale of my home. You are the best.
Leah Secondo has been my buying and selling agent over the past 13 years. Every experience has been a total pleasure. Leah gives me the same white glove service she would give her multimillion dollar clients. She goes from being a tough negotiator to being a compassionate person to her clients during emotional times during a stressful move. She is a total professional and always goes the extra mile.
Leah has helped me get my home staged for the first showings and had an offer for me within hours of being listed. I was shopping at Costco when she called with the offer and I was able to do the signing online while sitting in Costco's furniture department. Never thought I'd be selling my home while shopping for paper towels. The inspection showed numerous small problems that she helped me arrange for professionals to fix to the satisfaction of the buyer. She was at the house instructing the shrub trimmer guy in just what was needed. She has been helpful in each step of the way so far and I expect everything to go smoothly at the closing because of her attention to detail.
Leah is exceptional in every way, from finding properties that meet our criteria and personalities, to navigating the "deal" but more importantly her help and support after we signed the contract made buying a house from out of town so easy. Leah has great knowledge of the area and is resourceful for the help you may need once you move in.
This is a Test Leah, Nancy T.
I am pleased to share my experiences with my recent house sale. When looking for a realtor, I immediately called Leah who lived in the neighborhood and had answered questions I had had in the past. Leah knew Glenn Lakes and was on top of the rapidly changing market. She listed and got my asking price within a few days. Prior to the sale, she made excellent suggestions of improvements I should make to the outside of the property. She also put me in touch with local tradespeople who could complete the work. She answered all my questions, kept me informed through the whole process, and was very easy to work with.
If you are looking for someone to represent YOU and YOUR best interest in a real estate transaction, Leah is the best agent for the job. And…she is fun to work with.
Leah Secondo is an excellent realtor. We had Leah in our lives when we bought our home and then 12 years later when we sold the same house. Leah’s experience in the marketplace is exemplary. We had 20+ showings over 3 days and then had 6 offers with 5 of them over the asking price. Her skill in negotiating and managing other realtors really helped our cause. Leah’s attention to detail is superb. Ultimately, we felt safe in Leah’s hands.
“The reason we chose Leah is her outstanding reputation for selling Glenn Lakes properties. We were not wrong in our choice. Leah exhibited outstanding qualities throughout the selling and closing process. Her communication skills were exceptional, always keeping us updated, and getting back to us in a timely manner. Leah’s desire to please the seller as well as the buyer was very much appreciated. Leah’s help at closing was extremely helpful to both parties since the buyer had limited English skills. We recommend her highly to others looking for an outstanding agent to handle their sale.”
Leah was a wonderful Realtor. She was in constant contact with us throughout our whole experience in selling/buying our home. A true professional & motivative Realtor. We would highly recommended her.
We sold our FL home in the fall. We were so fortunate to have Leah as our realtor. We have bought and sold a number of properties over the years.

Just wanted to drop a little note to let you know what a positive experience we had with our recent home purchase. We hired Leah Secondo as we knew of her through my sister who went to school with Leah. Leah was wonderful! She was always up front, professional. Promptly returned phone calls or emails. She never misled us. We have already recommend her to friends who may relocate from NY and we would certainly hire her again.
We had a very excellent experience with Leah. This is our second time having her list our home. Leah was always quick to respond to any questions and concerns we had with selling. She removed a lot of the stress from moving. Heartfelt thanks from Keith and Carol

We were recently faced with the daunting challenge of selling our Glenn Lakes home from 700 miles away. Fortunately, we contacted Leah Secondo, and she guided and glided us through the sale of our home with extraordinary professional expertise and finesse. She took upon the burden of addressing and tending to all of our property issues. She kept us informed and updated on everything. Our work was effortless, thanks to Leah. We cannot thank Leah enough for making the sale of our home so easy and stress-free. It truly was a breeze! If you have any real estate needs, we highly recommend you give yourself the gift of Leah Secondo.
Leah was awesome
Leah did an AMAZING JOB selling My home and finding a Condo which I purchased!!! She went OVER & ABOVE what I would consider normal for a realtor!!! I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND HER without hesitation!!!
Leah worked with us on the purchase of our new home and we couldn't be happier with the service she provided. She is always responsive, professional and sets very realistic expectations. Anytime we called or had a question, if she was busy at the time, would always get back to us as soon as possible, usually within an hour! Her knowledge of the real estate market is outstanding and she helped to ease our anxiety and was with us through every step of the process resulting in a smooth and easy transaction. Thank you, Leah!

This was all accomplished without me leaving Connecticut.This was my seventh sale of property, and it was by far the easiest. Leah was great to work with!Sincerely,Jane Barrera
For anyone during the process of selling a home and finding / buying a new one, it is stressful and chaotic at times. Leah did everything I would have wanted in keeping the best options / interests clear and up front to us. Not only after the deals were approved but worked even harder to make sure everything stayed on point. “Nothing is final until the ink is dry” and she made sure we got all the way “Home”! Wouldn’t have wanted anyone else helping us through this process. Thank you again!

We met Leah twenty years ago when she sold my first house, since then she has helped with a rental and just recently sold a house in under a week! We live out of town and Leah managed everything from dealing with the renters to managing the entire process of prepping the house for showings to make everything hassle free. Way above and beyond what anyone would expect! Not only is she efficient and professional but she knows her market and always has your best interest at heart! Absolute tops in her field!
Leah Secondo has been my buying and selling agent over the past 13 years. Every experience has been a total pleasure. Leah give me the same white glove service she would give her mulitimillion dollar clients. She goes from being a tough negotiator to being a companionate person to her clients during emotional times during a stressful move. She is a total professionaland alway goes the extra mile.
I consider Leah a great friend and neighbor in Glenn Lakes. She is definitely the most knowledgeable realtor assisting buyers and sellers in the Glenn Lakes area. I highly recommend her for your real estate needs.
We were very pleased how smoothly the process was with Leah Secondo. She explained everything to us and we look forward our next purchase with her.
