For me an effective realtor whether working with me to buy or sell a house must have some essential skills. April was my realtor for the sale and purchase of my homes. She is an experienced realtor and demonstrated the following skills: -understand clearly and respect my service requests and especially the non negotiable issues. -know the real estate market in the areas for sale/purchase of houses. -explain/educate me about real estate or market issues that I may not be aware and which may lead to a better outcome. -maintain frequent contact and remind me of important dates and activities using text, email etc. -identify & arrange services such as house inspection, handyman, gardening. -arrange house visits quickly and arriving on time for appointments. -remain calm and have sense of humour and especially in situations where everyone is tired and tense. She was very kind, generous with her time and went above and beyond to support me with the staging and selling of my house. I have enjoyed working with her and would recommend her and use her services again.

In every respect we were very pleased with the services provided to us regarding the sale of our family property. Leslie was very attentive to our needs, wishes and concerns. Leslie understood how difficult this process was for us and was supportive throughout. She did not shy away from making requests but respected our answers and positions. Leslie and Joe provided us with sound, researched advice and guidance about the pricing of the property. They did not waiver in their assessment which was reassuring. Leslie was always available to us, providing prompt responses to our questions. Leslie has a lovely, friendly and reassuring manner. We did not regret our choice of agent. Leslie is a true professional !

When the time came to put our family home up for sale we chose April Esteves. April came highly recommended from 2 of our family members and she lived up to their high standards. She has many years of experience and guided us step by step through this emotional process. She was always available and her advice and attention to detail helped us get the best price for our home. We could not be happier with the outcome and would recommend April to anyone buying or selling.

The Battle Real Estate Team were very professional and we were kept well informed of the market. The staging and marketing literature were first class. We highly recommend the team’s services. 10/10.

Thanks for everything Leslie and Joe! You really did take good care of us, communicating and reassuring us during an anxious couple of months and always giving us good advice

We worked with Leslie and Joe when buying our new home and selling our existing home in the Kingsway. We were very pleased with the level of service, insights on the market and how to strategically position our house for sale. They did a beautiful job staging the house and managing the sale process to get us a great price. They were also extremely responsive to any questions we had. For anyone looking to sell or buy, they are very knowledgeable and experienced.

By: Joe Caccamo, Seller

Thank you for all your dedication and efforts on our behalf. Your honesty, professionalism and work ethic is outstanding and much appreciated. You shine like a beacon of integrity in an industry that is sometimes judged somewhat unscrupulous. Thanks again!!

To whom it may concern, When my brother passed away, as the estate trustee I was responsible for selling his house. With little knowledge on the steps and processes required to execute an estate sale, and unsure who to turn to, I took the advice of a friend who recommended April Esteves. With April’s knowledge and skill, she walked me through the requirements and made some sound recommendations. Even though the house was in very poor condition her write up of the property hi-lighting the positives yielded us 3 offers on the first day. The best one being exacting what I was hoping for. Not only was I grateful that this did not turn into a long-drawn-out process, but very pleased with April’s judgments and real estate experience. Things couldn’t have turned out any better. I highly recommend April Esteves and will use her again.

Bravo to April! As we found ourselves selling our home when the market was changing, we greatly benefited from April's knowledge and experience. April had all the right answers as we sold our home within a week. The open houses she hosted made us feel proud of all our hard work! April's approach was very organized and she managed the sale of our home in a very professional manner. Thank you very much, April.

Thank you so much for helping during this time! It is time to close this chapter in my life and you made it a lot easier on the condo end. I appreciate your professionalism and kindness.

By: J Manning - Seller

Thank you for your assistance in the sale of our mom’s property, I do appreciate it, and I know that the rest of my family did as well. Your team did an excellent job, and we all thank you all for your efforts. We believe that the end result was all, if not more, than we could have asked for.

By: C Copeland- Seller

I have been busy “patting myself on the back” for remembering that should we ever sell our home, you were “the one”, I would call. Thankfully my old memory kicked in just before we were about to give the listing to someone else. Thank you so much to you and your team. We will be thankful to have you here for the buyer access visits while we are away, helping once again to take the stress away while we are on vacation. So a BIG thank you, Leslie! We would not hesitate to recommend you to anyone

By: G George - Seller

When we had a difference of opinion on approach to something, Leslie could very clearly, succinctly and respectfully articulate why she / her team took their approach. When Leslie had a family emergency, Joe stepped in - and the transition was seamless. Leslie is a pleasure to work with - her sense of humour and honesty are refreshing and needed at times during the stress of selling your home!! Thanks for everything Leslie and Joe!! You were FANTASTIC!!!

Shout out to Leslie & Joe at Team battle. We recently listed & sold our home in Sunnylea in 6 days and over ask!!! Leslie has fantastic vision and coaching on presenting/staging the house for maximum impact. Although a lot of work to prep & purge prior to launching the listing, it was well worth it at the end and will make our move that much less stressful. Thanks Les!!!!

By: John and Jane Downs, Sellers

Leslie was a delight to work with, great listening and interpersonal skills. She was fast, efficient and her superb marketing brought us a great price. We would highly recommend The Battle Team to any prospective sellers.

By: Omsteads, Sellers

Wowza! What a whirlwind of a sale! We are still in happy shock! You did such an incredible job of guiding us, keeping us informed and looking out for our best interests! Thank you for all your hard work, your professionalism and most of all, your friendship. We are very grateful to have you on our team.

By: Sellers and Buyers

Simply put, Leslie is the best in the biz. She came in with a smart pricing strategy to drive interest and persuade buyers. And it worked! When every other house in the neighbourhood was sitting for weeks and even months, Leslie sold ours in 7 days. Strategy, strategy, strategy. If you are selling your house in the Sunnylea/Kingsway area there is no one better than Les. She lives and breathes the market in this area and understands exactly how to list to drive interest and competition. Trust her! In addition to her genius pricing strategy, Les is also lovely, kind, honest and moonlights as an interior designer, staging our entire house on her own.

My husband and I met Joe Battle on the viewing the house he and his team were selling. It turned out, we found our home! During first meeting touring the property we got a whole package of information needed and got answers for all our questions. We loved everything about the house and surroundings and the decision came right on the property’s driveway to submit the offer. It turned out Joe became our agent as well because we found listing by ourselves on the internet. We had great experience going through process of buying and were grateful for Joe guiding us during this journey by being very helpful professionally, on personal level and having all support needed during that emotional time. It was smooth transaction – hoping finishing all financial paper work will go this way too. Joe was seller’s agent but we didn’t feel left behind because of his dual duties presenting us as buyers as well. All was presented and done in professional and ethical manner to our satisfaction and great experience! Thank you, Joe! With appreciation

By: Seller

A pleasure to write a rave about Leslie and the Battle Team. I first encountered Les about 18 years ago and was impressed with her warmth and knowledge. She has since helped me in and out of three properties and each transaction was managed with great market intuition and quickly concluded. She manages any bumps leading with her client’s best interests. I did, once, ‘stray’ and engage another agent, to my great regret. It did not compare favourably to the Battle experience from start to finish. Returning to the Battle fold, Leslie was entirely forgiving and got right to work with her great humour and confident market savvy. I would recommend this team without hesitation.

When you are packing and selling your childhood home, it is difficult. Joe and Leslie’s hard work, involvement and sensitivity towards the sale made me realize how fabulous they are as a team. Quick responses to unforeseen circumstances and working day and night to get the home sold, will always be remembered!

By: Buyer

Excellent knowledge of the neighbourhood – impressive speed in response to e-mail inquiries.

By: Buyer

The Battles: Unwavering professionalism, excellent service, solid skills – have referred several times and never been disappointed.

By: Sellers and Buyers

We appreciate your involvement, perseverance, interest and sensitivity towards the sale of our home. We have total confidence in you. We really like Les’s personal touch ( eg: conversations, bringing “sold” sign over, open house, responding to Bryce’s 1000 emails etc.)

By: Seller

We started the process of selling with another agent and ended up coming back to you after being thoroughly disappointed with him. We appreciated the straight talk about the value of our house, it was always easy to reach you, and you navigated the buyers hurdles expertly.Your professionalism and experience really shone through.

By: Sellers and Buyers

They helped us prepare the home for its maximum showing potential without having to incur unnecessary staging costs. They capably handled offer night in a manner that showed us their years of experience in the business. We came away with what we felt was the best price possible and was far in excess of our expectations.

By: Seller

We were not happy with our previous REALTOR® – A top name in the business who promised and never delivered. Leslie had a refreshing vision of our house and what needed to happen to allow it to sell. Her vision and initiative got our house sold!

By: Sellers

Great team! Best in their class and best in the ‘hood!

By: Seller

Joe was amazing! Kind, thoughtful and very patient. I was extremely happy with the entire process.

By: Sellers

While we were impressed with the whole selling experience, Leslie really came to the table with the actual negotiation of the sale. We really valued her input at this level

By: Buyer

Leslie represented us for a purchase of a home for my family. She was professional, friendly and made us very comfortable throughout the process. She genuinely cared about our needs and made sure to address each of my families concerns as we moved forward. She was a joy to be around and her cheerful spirit really helped uplift our overall experience. It is with pleasure that I would recommend Leslie for any real estate transaction

They delivered on their promise to both manage the sale process and concurrently be sensitive to the needs of a senior living in the house, a recent widow.
