We highly recommend Michael Leighton’s Team. The best and simplest real estate transaction we have had. We have been homebuyers in New York. This experience was far easier and less confusing.

“Michael Leighton’s office takes a team approach to assist with the sale of a property. I knew that whenever I called the office there would be someone familiar with my property and willing to help in any way I needed it.

Overall it’s a very cooperative, professional team that know how to get a transaction done. I had great success selling my Ocean Edge property with them and have, and will continue to, recommend Michael Leighton Realty to friends and family.

I was pleased at how quickly and smoothly the sale of the property went. Everyone was terrific.”

“Everyone at Leighton Realty was very professional and their communication with the client was fantastic.

They went above and beyond to help us with the sale and closing.”

“Michael Leighton’s Team made the process of listing, showing and closing on the sale of our Ocean Edge condominium a smooth process. We felt well informed about the market before hand and well positioned during negotiations. The team handled the closing process efficiently and with minimum impact upon us.”

“I had the condo listed with Leighton’s rental department for many years and was always very pleased with their efforts on my behalf. When it was time to sell, Leighton’s sales department was the obvious next step/contact.

Paige was very pleasant. Since I live out of state, we did everything long distance with phone calls and emails. She kept me informed, answered questions and made the whole process much easier than expected. I would highly recommend this very professional team to family and friends.”

The team at Leighton put together a seamless buying experience for me.

Excellent all around on all points. After a Google search for condos for sale at Oceanedge resorts I filled out a brief request to be contacted and at the start of the business day just a few hours later I was contacted by Rachel Schlender at the Leighton office.

After a brief description of what I was in the market for I was referred to and promptly put in touch with buyers broker Adrienne Jones, I answered a few questions about what I was interested in and just a few short hours later I had a personalized walk through of an available listing and signed the P&S the same afternoon. A few weeks later I moved into my new home thanks to the team at Leighton Realty.

“We are very pleased with our experience with your team. The agents we encountered were responsive and professional. Their guidance and support through the purchasing process was wonderful!”

“We would definitely recommend Michael Leighton’s Team to anyone looking to buy or sell property on Cape Cod. They especially have excellent knowledge of properties at Ocean Edge and an excellent track record there.

We had excellent previous experience with Leighton Realty when we purchased the property 5 years ago. We also had an excellent experience using Leighton Rentals to handle summer rentals of the property for 5 years.

Everything went very smoothly with our recent sale.
The team is very professional and is a well-trained group.”

“Michael Leighton did an excellent job in selling my house so fast–about two days. Thank you to you and your staff for a job well done.”

“Michael Leighton and Leighton Realty made my buying experience extremely warm and ‘home town’ caring, thru-out the buying process. I sat in the living room and told my husband, ‘this feels like a home’. From then on in, Michael Leighton and Leighton Realty took care of EVERYTHING! Even my closing! I had to come home and face a very bad tragedy with my daughter that landed me in the ICU for 3 days and the hospital for 3 days. I woke up in the hospital in Boca Raton, FL to a beautiful bouquet of flowers from Leighton Realty!! That’s how ‘Excellent’ they are!!”

Very professional firm. A delight to work with.

“Excellent marketing program.”

“The staff at Leighton Realty made the process of purchasing a Cape Cod property a stress free event. From inspection through closing, they were informative and attentive to all of my questions and concerns. Leighton Realty has an outstanding knowledge of all of the necessary resources required to complete a successful real estate transaction.”

“We were very pleased with every phase of our transaction. Patrick was outstanding with the details and Michael was great with negotiations. All in all a wonderful experience.”

“We were impressed with Michael, and his whole staff, right from the beginning of the process, until we closed 4 months later. True professionals, who know the marketplace well. Michael guided us to price our unit right and by doing so, we were rewarded with a surprising offer in a normally slow time of the year.”

“Michael Leighton and Stephanie Dolson handled my recent sale with the highest level of integrity and professionalism. Their knowledge of the local market is right on the mark. The sale went through quickly and smoothly. I would not hesitate to recommend them to any interested seller.”

“I have known Michael for many years and have done multiple real estate transactions with him and his companies. He is by far the most knowledgeable Cape Cod real estate broker especially when it comes to Ocean Edge properties.”

“Working with Michael Leighton for the purchase of a property at Ocean Edge has been an extremely enjoyable experience. All of the personnel with the Leighton Group are extremely knowledgeable, courteous and always professional. Michael brought us through a number of units, explaining the details and advantages of the different choices and options. He worked closely with us to ensure that our selection met the needs of our family and our lifestyle. Once our selection was made, Michael closing specialist April Driggs guided us through the purchase & sales process through the final closing in record time. She was always responsive our questions and helped to ensure that the process went smoothly. The entire closing process was completed in six weeks and in time for the Labor Day holiday weekend.”

“I was very satisfied with Michael Leighton and our recent purchase. Several things particularly struck me in working with Michael and his colleagues. One was patience. We started looking at units during the winter, but we were far from knowledgeable about condominiums and were very uncertain about whether or not we wanted to take the plunge. Michael was very patient with us, and, after we delayed well into the summer deliberating and trying to make a decision, he was more than willing to work with us for a second time until we finally felt comfortable in pulling that trigger.

We also found Michael and his staff to be very knowledgeable. They were able to answer all questions; and, if they did not know the answers right away, they were able to get them for us very quickly. This was particularly helpful at a time when real estate, mortgages, etc. can tend to be very confusing and bogged down with mountains of necessary paperwork to complete.

Finally, we were very pleased with Michael’s candor and communications skills. In retrospect, those were the qualities that made the sale. I recommend Michael Leighton very highly. He and his staff were what we needed and they really followed through.”

“Michael, thank you for the excellent work you performed in selling our Ocean Edge condominium. In a difficult market you provided sound guidance to us, and marketed our home in a way that resulted in a steady flow of potential buyers leading to the sale. We feel you provided sound advice to the potential buyers relative to market realities, resulting in a fair price in the current marketplace. If we are ever in the Cape market in future, we would certainly ask you to again represent us. If we instead wish to rent, we will call you as well. It was obvious during the process we went through that you understand your business and went the extra mile for us. Again, thanks for a superior job. We wish you and family well and hope to see you again.”

“Thank you Michael Leighton for selling my home on Cape Cod. I requested a REALISTIC listing price for my home. What I received was not just a realistic selling price but a realistic SELLING PLAN. My goal as a seller obviously was to receive the maximum selling price. The suggested selling plan had a listing price a bit high with a time plan to lower the price to sell. I was notified of every showing. I received “seller’s feedback” regarding every showing. Once my home went under contract, I left the state. Michael Leighton did all the inspections. He repaired smoke detectors, house numbers, and helped with power-of-attorney in the passing of papers. I was able to enjoy my vacation in Hawaii, while Michael Leighton represented me in the selling of my home. Thanks again for a very professional selling of my home.”

“It was truly a pleasure working with you and your staff on the recent sale of our Ocean Edge condominium. You were both realistic and practical in your assessment of the marketplace, making the sale a pleasant experience despite the fact that certain changes at Ocean Edge made our decision to sell sooner than we might have expected. Having worked with many realtors both on the Cape and off, I must say that your Sales and Rental divisions performed their tasks with a high degree of professionalism. My wife and I greatly appreciate working with you and would not hesitate to recommend you to anyone in the future.”

“This will be a strange request because it is to a Realty Executives agent, coming from an agent of a large national franchise, whose Ocean Edge condo is listed with a small Cape Cod broker. You have been mailing us consistently and have demonstrated yourself as a professional and knowledgeable agent with great follow through. I supervise 500+ agents here and if everyone prospected the way you do we’d be the number 1 company in our area instead of number 2. I read everything you send because it’s timely, well evaluated and meaningful. If I didn’t have the strong family tie and friendship with this agent, I’d hire you in a heartbeat.”

“We have really enjoyed working with Leighton Realty for the rental of our condo. Everyone in the office has been professional and easy to work with. They’ve demonstrated a genuine concern for our property – from the biggest issues to the smallest of details. And they worked hard to fill our rental schedule, as they said they would. We’ll be contracting with them again for next season.”

“When we first decided that we were going to look for a vacation home on the Cape we relied on Michael’s experience, friendly personality and honesty to advise and guide us to our first Ocean Edge condo. Since that time, we have purchased, sold and rented many Ocean Edge condos through him. We wouldn’t consider using anyone else.”

“I just wanted to drop you a note to thank you for all your professional help on the sale of our condo at 47 Billington! Your market analysis of our unit was highly professional, thorough and extremely accurate. I was most impressed with the quality and extent of pictures you placed on the MLS. The day our condo was listed I felt confident that it was shown to its best advantage and clearly stood out from the other listings. Two and a half weeks later we were looking at multiple offers! Throughout the process I very much appreciated your responsiveness to my questions. I felt that you and Bernie were very knowledgeable, helpful and attentive to the sale process. Bernie clearly went out of his way one day before closing to arrange for a missed payment at the Ocean Edge management office and avert a delay at closing. Once again, Thanks for your professional and superb service. I know we made the right choice when we chose you to sell our Ocean Edge home.”

“My wife and I fell in love with the Brewster, Orleans, Chatham area about 15 years ago when we were first married. It has always been a dream of ours that someday we would own our own place at the Cape. About 2 years ago we half-heartedly approached the buying process. As a result of working with one agent, we got terrible results. No follow-up and no serious outcome. We decided to try contacting an agent over the internet and that’s when we found Michael Leighton. Michael was very eager to work with us, immediately setting up 3 appointments during our yearly visit to the Cape. It was on the 2nd appointment on the first day that we found our new home. Michael helped us through the negotiating process and finally the closing. Thanks to his experience we were able to bid the right price and come out getting exactly the house we wanted. He was also very helpful after the closing, providing us with the names of contacts on the Cape for different services and goods which we needed for our new house. Thank you Michael for all you’ve done. Hope to see you on the Cape!”

“I worked with Michael Leighton in the summer of 2002 when my wife and I bought a condominium at the Ocean Edge in Brewster. Michael was very attentive to our needs and very honest in his dealings with us. He made the intimidating process of buying property much easier. I wholeheartedly recommend Michael to anyone interested in buying or selling property on Cape Cod.”

“Michael was there for me every step of the way. I could count on him for how to download the ads he mailed me faithfully for months, to a complete tour of the area and the market, and help through all the aspects of the closing and ongoing renting as I needed.”
