Leslie Hogan
with Hogan Associates
-
“We have worked closely with Leslie before. She is probably the best broker we ever had. She is responsive, knowledgeable and firm (in a nice way when she has to be)!! She had a very difficult client and broker on the other side of our deal. We could not have done it if we did not have her! Once again, she is the best!”
-
“We worked with Leslie Hogan during the craziness of the spring/summer of 2021. My wife and I were looking for our first home and doing it from a distance. Working with Leslie was amazing. Not only is she an expert in her area she is also the consummate professional. She answered all of our "first-time buyer" questions and never made us feel like we were the rookies. Leslie was always willing to talk and was honest with us about different properties. She also took the time to get to know us to keep our priorities in mind while watching the market closely. Leslie was quick to do remote walk-throughs and support us through the bidding process. We highly recommend working with Leslie, and we are so thankful that she was our partner in this process.”

“Leslie Hogan was terrific. Every home sale involves highs and lows, and she was our steady calm and trusted advocate throughout. Super professional, knowledgeable and forthright, Leslie was always available to work through our every concern, making the entire process as stress free as possible. We’ve worked with several realtors in the past and have never experienced one as interested in learning about, and prioritizing our goals as sellers. We highly recommend Leslie and Hogan Associates.”
-
“We have relocated for work numerous times over the years, both internationally and cross country. Having the right realtor has always been one of the most important aspects of every move. However, in today’s Covid market with the lack of available real estate, it is crucial to be working with someone both knowledgeable and efficient, as you do not have the luxury of time to research properties to the extent warranted by these fast selling, top dollar properties. You snooze, you lose! You need a professional who knows the area and property – value and history, and if there are unknowns, has the contacts and drive to get the information quickly. Leslie Hogan is that realtor and more. She is exceptionally informed and knows the market extensively. She is a pleasure to work with – friendly, intelligent, and sincere-- the type of person you’d love to have as a neighbor. You are not taking any chances with Leslie, you are getting the best!”
-
“There were some challenges none of which were Leslie's fault but she guided me through each one. Her patience and knowledge of the industry is simply outstanding! Can't say enough about my positive experience with her! Leslie knows her trade well and that was so valuable during my entire experience!”
-
“Leslie kept us informed every step of the sales process and had a great upbeat attitude. She was very helpful and good with all the details.”
-
“Leslie is the consummate professional. A joy to work with and a pleasure to be around. No better choice.”

“We recently sold our house and toyed with the idea of “for sale by owner.” Were we glad we changed our minds! After a thorough review of local realtors, we selected Leslie Hogan, one of the co-owners of Hogan Associates. We couldn’t have made a better choice. Leslie was the ideal person to shepherd us through the arduous home sale process. I can honestly say that the house sale process proved to be one of our most challenging undertakings to date. Leslie was the ideal partner every step of the way. Her vast experience, calm demeanor, intricate knowledge, and ethical behavior provided what we needed to keep things in perspective during all phases of this demanding activity. Leslie worked with us throughout the process. At every decision point, options were discussed before a decision was finalized. Her breadth of experience, accompanied by her calm, relaxed manner, were especially crucial and comforting at these junctures. She was never pushy, and decisions were always mutually acceptable and a collaborative effort. Shortly before closing, we encountered a potentially problematic situation. After discussing several options, the situation was resolved after we agreed on a mutually acceptable, ethical solution that Leslie presented to the buyer in her calm, elegant manner. Leslie’s skill at handling difficult situations was evident throughout the sales process and it was always accompanied by her unflappable, pleasant demeanor. We could not have wished for a better, more likeable person to be by our side during this process. We are certain that anyone who hires her to guide them through the house sale process will have a positive experience with a truly delightful, ethical realtor.”

“Leslie Hogan’s approach in handling this property was key. She immediately understood the history of the property and what it meant to us. Leslie asked a lot of questions and then set a plan with an aggressive timeline. There were many years of accumulated items to be packed up and moved to get ready for showings. We met the challenge and the house looked great. Leslie’s personality put us at ease yet she kept us on task. Her real estate knowledge and professionalism are outstanding. We are so pleased and grateful to Leslie for handling the sale of our home.”
-
“I enjoyed working with Leslie, who was upbeat, efficient, sweated the details, followed up on outstanding paperwork, touched base efficiently with our attorney, and generally made the sale of the property smooth.”
-
“This was a complicated sale for several reasons. Leslie skill in handling so many difficult people and problems could not have been better. The patience of a saint. Follow-up. Details. People management-including me during the most frustrating times was amazing. I could go on! Leslie has a fantastic team. There were a few times when Leslies schedule conflicted with appts for my home. She had tremendous back up and very personal service. Thank you to holly , kirsten, Devon, and other members of the Hogan staff for being such great support.”
-
“I was previously employed by Hogan Associates and knew of their reputation and success in the real estate industry. Knowing Leslie personally, I felt strongly that she would be the realtor of choice! Leslie Hogan is a true professional and extremely knowledgeable of all aspects necessary for a successful home sale. I would not hesitate to recommend Hogan Associates to anyone looking to sell their home!”
-
“I interviewed several local brokers and found Leslie to be remarkably different from the others. She was smart,sincere, informative and genuinely interested in learning what was important to us. I trusted her from that first meeting onwards. I would highly recommend Leslie, she is wonderful as well as successful!”
-
“We sought to work with Leslie Hogan after meeting with her, after we had interviewed multiple agents from other companies. Leslie was very knowledgeable, unpretentious, and creative with how to feature the most interesting parts of the property. She had clear strategies for promoting the house, and for organizing web and other coverage, as well as creating events to maximize the number of people who would see the property. Leslie understood items such as character of the property, as well as positioning based on data, such as understanding the size of the house relative to its location in town, which other agents appeared to overlooked. She clearly engaged well with prospective buyers and other agents as well. Selling a house can have its ups and downs, particularly with an old house. Leslie Hogan's manner kept things moving forward at all times in a very positive way! She made all the difference in the sale of our property”
-
“LESLEY acted as dual agent and we were the buyers. We never felt that she was doing other than offering both us and the sellers a fair and ethical service. LESLEY has a remarkable ability to analyse tricky situations and come up with a solution. She has a real "can do" approach. Her local knowledge and contacts are extensive. This combined with loads of experience and a lovely disposition means LESLEY is certainly the 'go to realtor' for me. Cynthia Maynerd”

“I have worked with Leslie on a number of complicated real estate transaction including the development of a large subdivision, vacant land sales, and the recent acquisition of a water view parcel soon to become condominiums. She is a consummate professional with extensive local knowledge, excellent marketing skills, a cool head and strong work ethic. I recommend Leslie highly and hope to do may more deals with her in the future. I have vast experience in the buying and selling of real estate over many years and have never worked with anyone who has done a better job in all respects than Leslie Hogan and her team.”
-
“Leslie is a professional in the true sense of the word. She has a broad knowledge of the market which comes with all her years of experience and complements her innate insight / intelligence.”
-
“My wife and I have worked with Leslie Hogan on a number of occasions. In our many interactions over the years, Leslie has consistently proven herself to be amongst the most market knowledgeable and customer-centric real estate brokers we have worked with. She gets our highest ratings and endorsement!”
-
“Leslie sent a direct marketing email to me which was very informative in addition to dropping off material (and a pair of warm gloves) to my house. Leslie was very wise when it came to pricing my house. She was very quick to organize all that needed to get done to get it on the market fast even going through with an open house during a snow storm which brought out many people. Leslie is a true professional! From beginning to end Leslie handled every part of the sale with professionalism, excellent communication and experienced knowledge of the real estate market.”
-
“The negotiation process took months to complete, and Leslie was extremely patient, understanding and professional in communicating with us, our lawyer and the sellers' realtor. She is very familiar with the Newport area, and has, in fact, introduced us to some of our future neighbors (at our encouragement, of course).”
-
“Leslie had great local knowledge of landscapers, builders, and permit experts. We were buying a property to build on, and being from out of state, needed her advice and referrals to make a good decision.”
-
“I chose Leslie Hogan because she has an impeccable reputation as an outstanding realtor for high-end properties throughout the Newport, RI area. Since she commands an excellent understanding of the local the real estate market my condo was appropriately priced to sell promptly. Leslie is a consummate real estate sales professional. She is an excellent communicator, a hard worker, and most of all a genuinely kind and caring person. I thoroughly enjoyed my overall sales experience and would highly recommend her!”
-
“Leslie Hogan is the consummate professional and precisely what a seller would want in a real estate agent. She thinks ahead, she is savvy and knows the market, and she conducts herself with poise and class, which connotes the same about the property that she is representing. Most importantly, she delivers results!”
-
“We decided to sell the house last October and notified Leslie immediately. She drafted a marketing and information plan that created interest in the house during the winter season when the market is at its lowest point and was ready for a more aggressive rollout in the spring. The photography and description of the house captured its many features and attracted the right potential buyers. We sold the house to the second prospect who had some unusual requests and other significant complications that were satisfied with creativity to end up with a closing in fewer than sixty days from receipt of the first offer. Given the small market for this expensive and complex property the marketing plan was on the mark and the selling price was as well.”
-
“We had a very difficult closing due to a very uncooperative seller. We don't think we could have completed the purchase without her.”
-
“This is the second home that Leslie Hogan has sold for us. Selling your home can be a very stressful experience! Leslie's market knowledge, demeanor, professionalism and sales acumen made both experiences very positive. We would strongly recommend her to anyone, especially on Aquidneck Island and in the East Bay”
-
“We would highly recommend working with Leslie. She has great local market knowledge, and she is extremely professional. Leslie is a good listener and was very patient with our family. We looked for a summer home in Newport with Leslie's help for over 5 years before finding the right place. She knew what we were looking for, understood our price parameters and gave us great guidance. Leslie stuck with us until we found the right home and then she was extremely helpful through the inspection and closing process. We always felt as though she had our best interests at heart and appreciated that.”
-
“We have worked with Leslie over the past eleven years on multiple real estate sales and purchases. Leslie represented us as sellers of both a large B&B in Newport and most recently our waterfront property. She knows the market and has been spot on in her guidance and recommendations with every transaction. We would not consider working with any other agent and would highly recommend her to anyone looking to buy or sell property.”
-
“Once again, a true professional to work with. Tom Asack and family.”
-
““Leslie has represented me on multiple sales and purchases on Aquidneck Island. She has helped me buy and sell, lots, luxury custom homes, spec houses and most recently a waterview home ready for renovation and resale. She has great contacts, exceptional people skills and I look forward to working with her for years to come.””
-
“I hired Leslie Hogan for her knowledge of the area and the demographics of our target market. Although the sale took much longer than we hoped, Leslie kept to the plan and helped me achieve the best possible price. Her patience never waned and she was always there to provide support and guidance. Better yet, Leslie was a true partner in helping to define and adjust our strategy to get my house sold. I couldn't envision working with someone else that could offer the same level of expertise, confidence and patience.”
-
“The last 3 houses we sold, Leslie represented us and each one went extremely well. She was able to sell all 3 properties in very little time. At one point we had 2 properties listed at the same time and Leslie's team had buyers within the first 2 weeks or so. Actually, a closing for one was on a Friday and the second property closed the following Monday. Now that is truly a successful business! I would highly recommend Leslie and Hogan Associates to everyone! Keep up the great work!!”

“Leslie Hogan was recommended by the Lawyer who was handling the estate settlement of 336 Boulevard. Her first impression with the executor of the estate was immediate and no other broker was interviewed. Due to the result of the sale of 336 Boulevard and the way the sale was handled Leslie was hands down the choice for another family estate settlement of 36B Glen Meade. Leslie and her co-workers deserve the rating of excellent. They worked as a team which what a seller needs because you always had someone to call on should an issue arise at any time. When you work with a group that works as a team it is very obvious. Leslie was our sole contact for 336 Boulevard and she was always available and there for every step that was needed. For 43B Glen Meade, Leslie, Michele, and Matt were utilized to sell and resolve more questions asked by the purchaser then I would have thought possible. Even the closing was complex with the purchaser not able to attend and that went off without a hitch. Both property closings were handled in a professional fashion, 336 Boulevard was single family residence and 43B Glen Meade was a condo and that was a very complex sale with lots of questions put forward by the purchaser which required close co-ordination between the seller and agent. Leslie and agent Michele handled the resolution of those questions very professionally and were able to obtain the information or advise that was needed. Can't say anymore then "Excellent"”

“Leslie Hogan did an outstanding job selling our property. We have used her on three occasions to sell and on one occasion to buy. She provides an honest assessment or the property, neighborhood and local resources. Her personal traits make her extremely well suited for real estate. She is personable, smart, straight-forward, and above all else, honest. She took care of every detail when it cam e to the offer sheets, inspections and gathering paperwork for the closing attorneys. It was an effortless process on our part. Her "guess" as to what property is worth has always been on target. I would recommend her without any reservations and will use her again if I have to buy or sell property in the future.”
