Leigh Brown Charlotte NC Broker/Owner

About Leigh Brown Charlotte NC Realtor

Leigh Brown has been a full-time professional Realtor since 2000. (She grew up in the business, watching her father, Darrell Thomas, who has been selling residential real estate since 1978). She serves Concord, Harrisburg, Kannapolis, Charlotte, Huntersville, Davidson, Cornelius, Matthews, and Mint Hill in North Carolina and is also a licensed broker in South Carolina. She runs a family-focused business, realizing that every move affects each family differently. Leigh is the #13 team in North and South Carolina, and almost 100% of her business is referral-based. Nothing is finer than to be referred to friends and family!

Leigh is a native of Cabarrus County, graduated from Northwest Cabarrus High School and subsequently from The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (GO HEELS!). She and her husband, Steve, live in Harrisburg with their two children and two cats. In her spare time (such as it is!), Leigh spends time with family, doing church work, singing with the Charlotte Symphony, teaching piano lessons, and working out.

Leigh has also been awarded the designations of ABR (accredited buyer representative), CRS (certified residential specialist), CLHMS (certified luxury home marketing specialist), ePRO (technology expert), SRES (seniors real estate specialist), EcoBroker (green real estate certified) and CyberStar (an eliite group of 200 real estate experts throughout the country). In working with both buyers and sellers in a price range from $40,000 to $2,000,000, Leigh works hard to make sure that every transaction is handled with care and precision.

Leigh full time assistant is Sophia Hand, and she is a cornerstone of the operation! Sophia offers a live voice during business hours when Leigh is often out with clients. Our clients appreciate being able to reach someone with all questions and concerns, especially during the contract period when details are necessary to get the deal closed.

“ I was referred to Leigh Brown by a friend and I chose her team due to her glowing career history.
