“This was our fourth interaction with Leighton – two as sellers, two as buyers; impressed with honesty and professionalism all around; very satisfied with our two experiences as sellers; team is top notch: knowledgeable, friendly, very very helpful; go the extra mile to help with logistical details.”
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.
Being a broker from New York I had high expectations and the team met every one of them.
“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.”
“I had found a property online and requested information. Patrick Moore responded immediately and was helpful throughout the process. Because of Patrick’s understanding of our needs, constant support during our search and knowledge of the area that we were looking in, we never even considered another broker.
Patrick told us exactly how the process would transpire and offered suggestions as to we could make it easier on ourselves.
Michael Leighton’s team made our purchase simple and easy. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking to purchase a home on Cape Cod.”
“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’s team is outstanding!”
“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.”
“Very impressed with the communication, professionalism and efficiency of the entire team. Both Paige Murray and Diane King did an excellent job, very detail oriented, provided quick and informative responses and were very reassuring throughout the process. Angie Jennings at George Cavanaugh’s legal office provided the legal services necessary to process the sale and was accurate, thoughtful and on time.
Michael Leighton and his team are excellent and I would be happy to recommend them.”
“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.”
“We knew the Leighton team would get the job done!
All very professional.
Start to finish the process couldn’t have gone more smoothly.”
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.
“Ever since our honeymoon 38 years ago, we had an unofficial dream of living in a house on a golf course, and thanks to Leighton Realty, our dream came true. There was only one house that we wanted, and Michael and his team made it happen. Our entire experience was perfect. I cannot think of any aspects that could be improved. The awesome Rachel, our excellent closing coordinator, personalized our experience, and handled every detail, question, and situation cheerfully, enthusiastically, and extremely well.
How many people can say that they have found their dream house? Thank you to everyone 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!”
“The team did an outstanding job in advising on listing price and selling house for best price. They were very responsive and efficient.”
“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.”
“Rachel Schlender and Adrienne Jones were great at coordinating and the entire Leighton Staff was responsive to needs and questions throughout the process. Adrienne gave us great recommendations and sound advice during negotiations and for contractors/local experts after our closing. Rachel fielded questions with enthusiasm and was able to answer or connect me with appropriate parties for the correct information we needed to get the deal done.”
“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.”
Patrick Moore was EXCELLENT! He was professional and immediately responsive and handled everything in an exemplary manner. He is definitely a credit to the Leighton organization.
“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!!”
I wanted to take a moment to say thank you to you and your staff for selling my property at Ocean Edge, in Brewster. The entire process was seamless from start to finish. I know your initial appraisal and recommendation of some simple improvements lead to one of the highest closing price of similar properties so far, this year.
Throughout the listing, you and your staff kept me informed of the results of open house showings and comments made by clients. I especially found helpful your use of electronic documents.
In the future, when I find myself looking for a retirement home on the cape, I will be in touch with your office for assistance.
Very professional firm. A delight to work with.
“Michael helped us purchase our condo in 2011, and then helped us sell in 2016. In both cases he was a true professional with unmatched local expertise. The approach to sell our unit was efficient, well thought out, and backed by a great team in his office. We will use Michael’s vacation rental services (http://www.capecodrentals.net) in the near term and will definitely use Michael Leighton when purchasing again in the future.”
“Excellent marketing program.”
“I feel I am lucky for I made a good choice. All the people I did business with : Emily, Sarah and Patrick were very professional and did a great job. I would recommend Leighton Realty to all. The entire staff did a great job. I was very comfortable working with all.”

Leighton Realty has an outstanding knowledge of all of the necessary resources required to complete a successful real estate transaction.”
“Leighton Realty staff are professional and attentive. Hats off to Patrick Moore who did an excellent job during the whole process. He is great to work with – calm and professional and always available when needed.”
“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.”
“Michael demonstrated an excellent grasp of the market, and he sold our condo very promptly, at a fair price. His associate, Patrick, very ably guided us through the entire process from the offer through the closing. We highly recommend this team.”
“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 his staff kept us fully informed of the things we needed to do based on a previous home inspection and the current buyer’s Home inspection. The negotiation of the price went through in a timely manner and there were no hitches in the final sale.”
“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.”
We bought a townhouse at ocean edge with Leighton. They did really an excellent job. We loved working with Bernie Keller, he was extremely helpful. Always available when information was needed. Unlike realtors we know, they showed chances as well as risks – honest and fair. Very efficient in establishing contact with local banks and lawyers. Since we are from Germany and we were not aware of the clumsy processes in buying a condo overseas, we are pretty sure the transaction would have failed without that excellent support. We can recommend Leighton for buying as well as for renting condos: we rented twice with them before buying the condo and had only very positive experience.
“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.”
“My wife and I were complete novices when we started looking for our first property. However, we quickly realized that there were a large number of people in the Real Estate business that chose the profession because they like showing people houses. When I met Michael Leighton there was a clear difference that set him apart as a true professional. He looks deep into the needs of the client. Then, not only does he steer them in the direction of the perfect property, but he then goes on to tailor his business practices to benefit them as well as future clients. He is extremely well versed in the many documents that go along with acquiring property and can explain exactly what terminology means so novices like myself have no uncertainty moving forward. I highly recommend Michael Leighton and his entire staff who make the whole process smooth and painless.”
“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.”
“We would like to acknowledge how very helpful Michael Leighton and the Leighton Group was in selling our condo. A few years ago we listed our condo with Leighton and within one week they had an offer and a deposit in hand. Unfortunately, the buyer backed out a few days before closing, so the sale did not go through. (We did enjoy a wonderful vacation in Aruba with the deposit though!).
The market then took a downturn and real estate at Ocean Edge was not moving. We thought we may have better luck with other realtors, and did try a couple, but with no success. We once again contracted with Leighton Realty (the market was still not doing well) and Michael Leighton and his team sold our condo within two months. From the original offer to the closing things went smoothly and we appreciate Michael and his entire team.”
“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 was very professional and knew the market and area extremely well. We live in Colorado and needed a lot of help to getting our place sold. Our condo had been rented for years and was in poor condition. Michael put us in touch with a person who totally managed the renovations and furnishing of the condo. Once the renovations were completed the property was placed on the MLS and sold within two weeks. The whole process was very efficient and painless to us. We would strongly recommend Michael especially if you live out of state.”
“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.”
“I’d like to say that dealing with Leighton Realty Rentals this year has been a real pleasure. This is my first year renting, as I only bought the condo last year. However, you have been very responsive to all questions and all requests, so thank you for that. Please forward my kudos to Michael Leighton and anyone else on his team. Leighton Realty Rentals will be on my list next year to help me out.”
“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.”
“An experience with Michael Leighton and his staff is what every Buyer and Seller needs and wants. Ours was excellent from the start to the finish. This was a professional relationship of trust and confidence. From our first meeting with Michael, we felt we had made the right decision to employ his firm to handle all negotiations on our rental, as well as selling the property especially since we were long distance owners. Michael, along with his extremely efficient staff, did just that, with care, skill and diligence. We thank him and everyone from the Leighton Group and wish them much continued success in the future.”
“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.”
“Thanks for all of your assistance on our purchase of 43 Endicott. What had the potential to be a complicated transaction turned out to be quite smooth. Your team’s assistance with the sale and rental matters helped ease the transaction. We look forward to a continued relationship this summer and beyond.”
“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.”
“Thank you very much for a job very well done. I have bought and sold more than a few properties over the years and the service I received from you and Greta was the best ever. Your professionalism and both yours and Greta’s follow-up and attention to detail was second to none. Even down to sending me phone numbers of all the utilities so that I could cancel or switch my service.”
“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.”
“Michael helped us sell not just one, but two condos at Ocean Edge during a tight market when very little else was moving. We sold quickly and at a price we felt was fair. Best of all, everyone in the office was a pleasure to work with. We also used the office to rent our condos and will continue to use their services.”
“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.”
“As owners in Ocean Edge for over 10 years, we would highly recommend Michael Leighton to all owners & renters.. Their staff is highly motivated, extremely resourceful & completely trustworthy.”
“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.”
“Michael was a very professional person to work with on our purchase. He knows the Cape market extremely well, particularly Ocean Edge and the Brewster area. We exchanged a multitude of emails and his advice was always timely and poignant. When I was getting discouraged with the search process, he kept me on the right track. I would definitely recommend him as the realtor to use on the Cape.”
“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!”
“Mr. Leighton was a pleasure to work with. Very thorough and able to really understand my unique needs in searching for property on the Cape. Moreover, he provided many small touches that went above and beyond the typical real estate agent, especially when there were hurdles thrown in the way.”
“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 Leighton was our real Estate Agent when we purchased a home in Brewster, Massachusetts on Cape Cod in September 2002. We are delighted with the overall service we received. Michael was thorough, and acquainted with every detail of the project. He was attentive to our needs. He would return every telephone call that we would make, and would either answer our questions or would soon find an answer, and would report back to us promptly. All of that with courtesy and promptness. He never thought twice about assisting us in peripheral issues, many of which were beyond the normal service one would expect. For example, he would advise us about appropriate stores in the area, and about the rules and regulations applying to the town dumb, etc. Michael’s manner is soft spoken and laid-back, never pushing us. Yet, everything got done. He always offered the best advice at the right time.”
“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.”
