About Leslie
Leslie Dougherty is a seasoned real estate broker associate with nearly two decades of experience and a long-standing reputation for delivering exceptional results. Formerly the broker-owner of Central Coast Sotheby’s International Realty, she led one of the region’s respected boutique brokerages, recognized for its strategic marketing, personalized service, and strong performance across San Luis Obispo County — from the coastal charm of Cambria to the lifestyle communities of Nipomo.
Today, Leslie brings that same level of leadership, experience, and strategic insight directly to her clients. As the former owner of a Sotheby’s International Realty franchise, she offers clients a level of insight and strategic polish typically found only in luxury-market leadership. This background uniquely positions her among real estate professionals, giving her clients a distinct advantage in complex or high-value transactions.
Her career highlights include representing one of only seven global properties featured in the premier real estate auction at the Sotheby’s Auction House in New York City — a rare distinction that underscores her reach and expertise in the luxury space.
With advanced degrees in business and education, Leslie brings a data-informed, thoughtful, and client-centered approach to every relationship. She is also a longtime advocate for community college education and women entrepreneurs, believing that empowerment begins with access, support, and integrity.
Sellers choose Leslie for her preparation, pricing precision, and exceptional positioning strategies. Buyers trust her for her negotiation skill, honest guidance, and calming presence throughout the process. Whether buying, selling, or investing, clients benefit from Leslie’s quiet leadership, deep market knowledge, and unwavering commitment to their success.

We randomly connected with Leslie through Zillow and we were super lucky to find her! She was a great Realtor and helped us every step of the way. Always quick to reply to our questions and got us the answers we needed to make the best decisions. Thanks Leslie!
