Professional Bio: Leanne has worked in financial services for over 24 years, having joined the industry straight from school with a passion for property and a drive to learn. What began as a way to understand the homebuying process quickly turned into a long-standing career built on helping others achieve their property goals.
Leanne supports a wide range of clients from first-time buyers and home movers to those with more complex needs such as auction purchases or adverse credit. She’s known for her friendly, down-to-earth approach and her ability to make even the most challenging cases feel manageable.
For Leanne, the most rewarding part of the job is helping clients who thought homeownership was out of reach and showing them that with the right advice, it’s absolutely possible.
Personal Information: I live with my partner and our two daughters, not forgetting our two-house guinea pigs Peanut and Albert! I have worked within the financial service sector since I left college at the age of 17. My original plan was to secure a job whilst I trained to be a midwife.
Something not everyone knows about me: I have a phobia of dots/holes. It’s called Trypophobia, I haven’t made it up honest!
If I won the Euro millions lottery I would: Move somewhere warm! But I would have to take my entire family with me too so it would be an expensive relocation.
First Full time job: Office Junior Financial Services mostly photocopying, filing and franking the post, when everything was very much paper-based.
I love my job because: It comes with a lot of job satisfaction. It is always a great feeling when you can help a customer get a mortgage who may never have thought it was possible. I also work alongside a great team who are always happy to work together to resolve a particularly complex mortgage.
Likes: Mashed potato, guinea pigs, long walks, beer gardens, movie nights, dancing.
Dislikes: Noisy eaters, rudeness, bad hygiene.
Favourite destination: Spain, it’s a nice short flight.
Favourite food: Roast Dinner (but with mashed potato).
My ultimate 4 dinner party guests would be:
Whitney Houston
Tina Turner
David Bowie
Freddie Mercury
