"Selling and buying a house is often a significant moment in my clients’ lives. I try to guide them with honesty, knowledge and grace; and I take great pleasure in making the perfect match." says Leslie Mason.

She was born in London, where her father was in the Foreign Service and was educated in New York City at St. Luke’s, St. Ann’s, Sarah Lawrence College, and Circle in the Square Professional Acting Training Program. She is currently a member of the Real Estate Board of New York, serves on the Board of Trustees at The Greenwich Village Society for Historic Preservation, and Chairs their annual house tour benefit.

Most of my life I have lived in New York City where I have known and sold wonderful houses. Unable to resist, I recently bought one in Greenwich Village. It is fantastic to live with my husband and our daughter in this wonderful historic neighborhood. I have learned that owning a house can transform one’s life, like a great book or a fine piece of art”.
