She is passionate about her love for Chicagoland and always ready to share her personal knowledge and insights about the city and its suburbs. When she is not working, Ashley loves to stay active as she experiences all that Chicago has to offer – whether that’s running along the lake or taking her dog for walk. She also loves the theater, all her hometown sports teams and the rich cultural diversity of the city she calls home.

Choosing to use Ashley to find our first home was the best decision! Being fairly new to the city, it was important that we used someone we could 100% trust. Ashley looked out for us and made sure we were absolutely happy with our choice before taking the big step into homeownership. She and her team were extremely helpful throughout the entire process, we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Ashley has become part of our Chicago family and we will definitely be using her for all future real estate endeavors.

Ashley Leakey is AMAZING! With my fiancé and I not being from Chicago, it was important that we had someone knowledgeable and trustworthy from the area to help us find our new home in the city. Right from the start, we knew we'd be in great hands with Ashley. The touring process was exciting, and wrapping up on selecting our dream condo was made easy. We love our new neighborhood so much and could not have found this amazing location without Ashley's help. We HIGHLY recommend her!
