• Unparalleled knowledge of the local market
Leyla will leave no stone un-turned in finding the right property for her Buyers, whether it is currently listed or not. Her market knowledge is also a tremendous asset to her Sellers, resulting in her listings selling in weeks (not months), often with multiple offers and for close to, or over, asking price. With her finger on the pulse of supply and demand, Leyla offers both Buyers and Sellers valuable and precise insights in this dynamic market.
• Luxury Property
For decades, the high end Boulder real estate market was defined by properties selling for $1M or more. In 2011, just after the mortgage crisis, Leyla Steele sold the two highest-priced, luxury homes in North Boulder, which sold for around $3M. In the past few years, as prices in Boulder have trended upward, $1M has become the norm and the high end market is characterized by properties priced $3M – $15M. From 2012 – 2018, Leyla and her team sold the highest yearly number of residential properties priced $1M+ in the City of Boulder, many of them in the $3M – $10M range. In 2019, Leyla returned from sabbatical and has narrowed her focus and attention to working with select clients and properties. Her astounding success in the luxury property market results from excellent marketing, extensive networking, in-depth knowledge and appreciation of the luxury inventory, including properties that are both on AND off the market. By pro-actively interacting with luxury buyers, sellers, architects and builders, Leyla brings discerning resourcefulness to the process of buying and selling luxury property. If you are contemplating a purchase or sale of a luxury property in Boulder, including an older home in a notable location, or one with views, or on a large lot in Boulder, Leyla is prepared to be your informed and attentive guide and advocate.

This is only one of the reasons why their listings sell so quickly and for top dollar.
