WHO'S LEIGH?

Personal Information

I am a native Saint Louisan , who dreams of one day hanging it all up for a simpler life on the beach. Until then, I am content to explore all the hidden gems this city has to offer and share them with the world!

I am a bit of a brick building snob, but my architecture and design tastes change with the wind. I don't have a favorite neighborhood, because I like to follow the money! Real estate in my world is a family affair, so it is important for us to find a healthy work balance.

I currently reside in Dutchtown, on St. Louis' South Side. Nestled in a small brick bungalow with Phillip (my guy), Oliver (the mutt), Princess Pei Pei (the cat) and Indigo (the bird). Don' ask me how we got so many pets, but we love them.

 I am passionate about gardening, blogging, community supported agriculture, local business districts, red wine, good conversation, strong business women, helping people make the best investments possible, exploring other cultures and their cuisine, hoodies and holistic health. You can find me anywhere the "regular folks" hang, and I love to listen and dance to the Blues. Show me anyone who has ever done anything great with their lives, and I will show you someone who has sung the Blues.

 Professional Real Estate Experience 

Why choose Leigh Maibes?

Any REALTOR can help buyers and sellers navigate a real estate transaction. What sets one REALTOR apart from another is knowledge of the market.

My niche is St. Louis City. I live here. I work here. I love it here! Urban life offers walk-able neighborhoods, mass transit, unique shopping, dining and entertainment experiences, and homes with architectural details found nowhere else. 

My passion for the city is something I bring to my job as an agent with RE/MAX Results — a full-service real estate brokerage agency, specializing in Saint Louis homes and commercial property. As an associate with RE/MAX, I have the power to refer you to a well trained and experienced agent in any City, State or Country.

As an experienced Saint Louis REALTOR…

I know personality. In homes. In neighborhoods. In people. It's my job to match urban buyers with homes that suit their personalities and priorities — whether that's a bungalow in South City, a loft downtown, a century home in Soulard, or a condo in the Central West End. I can also help buyers find that urban feel outside the city limits in places like University City, Richmond Heights and Maplewood. 

I know vintage. By specializing in St. Louis's vintage and historic homes, I know what sells, what won't, and what might pose challenges for buyers and sellers alike. I help my sellers accentuate their home's vintage virtues to win over buyers and obtain the best possible price. Plus, with my knowledge of rehabbing, I can help investors transform an "as-is" property into a "must-see" listing. 

I know tech. Armed with experience, creativity and 21st century tools, I have the savvy to successfully market homes via today's technologies. Online, I'm everywhere today's buyers and sellers are, including Twitter and Facebook, as well as industry sites like Trulia and Zillow. I keep my own blog and pay attention to others', so I can draw on the expertise of historians, preservationists and urban explorers as I assist my own clients. Plus, each of my listed homes get its own website, so my sellers get maximum exposure.

I know people. Having worked in the city for some time, I know and maintain good working relationships with other city agents. And I use those connections to benefit my clients. When the situation demands it.

Whether you're searching for the right home or the right home-buyer  you'll achieve a successful sale by selecting the right agent. And if you're buying in St. Louis's urban market, I am that agent.
