About Leslie

Leslie is a Manatee County native, although she was transplanted from the suburbs of Chicago many years ago. She is married to Charlie Wells; retired Manatee County Sheriff and they have a family of four. They are also grandparents to four grandsons and a granddaughter! Real estate has been her life, as she has had only two jobs in her adult life, the first being with the Manatee County Property Appraisers office. She caught the real estate fever, becoming a sales agent in 1976 and then a Florida licensed real estate broker in 1979.

As the broker/owner of Leslie Wells Realty, she enjoys her newest role, training, and mentoring. She loves watching the enthusiasm of new agents putting together their first transaction as well as the seasoned agents that enjoy the daily challenges of everyday real estate in today’s market. She would welcome the chance to earn the trust and confidence of those she has yet to do business with.
