Although I like to think of myself as a Manatee County native, I am transplanted from the suburbs of Chicago many years ago. I am married to Charlie Wells, Retired Manatee County Sheriff and we have a family of 4, Manatee County Sheriff, Rick Wells, social media guru, Logan Wells, amazing Realtor with Leslie Wells Realty, Madison Wells and stylist/colorist Reagan Smith. We are also grandparents to 4 grandsons and a granddaughter!

I guess you could say that real estate has been my life. I have had only 2 jobs in my adult life, the first was with the Manatee County Property Appraisers office, where I would watch and envy the real estate agents that would come and go throughout the day, not tied to a 9 to 5 job. That is where I caught the real estate fever becoming a sales agent in 1976 and then a Florida licensed real estate broker in 1979; wow, that was many years ago, and many, many sales ago!

As the broker/owner of Leslie Wells Realty, I enjoy my newest role, training and mentoring. I love watching the enthusiasm of new agents putting together their first transaction as well as the seasoned agents that enjoy the daily challenges of every day real estate in today’s market.

If you are a past client, thank you for the opportunity to help you find the home of your dreams, or to sell a property that led to your life’s next adventure. If we haven’t yet done business together, I would welcome the chance to earn your trust and confidence.

Life is good!
