Meet MacKinnon & Co.:

An expert in the sales market throughout Greater Boston, Leslie has an invaluable ability t

o break down the process, achieve a natural comfort level with clients, and ensure their needs are met. Alix Giannetti is an Ohio transplant, who lives in Savin Hill and is known among clients and colleagues for her unique combination of unwavering, eternal optimism, and overall fresh and colorful approach to real estate.

Testimonials from clients:

"Out of all of my experiences working with realtors, dealing with Leslie was by far my most positive. Leslie not only knew my targeted geographic area, but understood my likes and dislikes within the properties I wanted to target. Establishing herself as my trusted advisor, her knowledge of the market-shift allowed me to acquire the estate of my choice at the lowest price point possible. Post-sale Leslie has continued to stay in touch to ensure I got what was promised. She has even made suggestions as to what she felt may have room for improvement. I can honestly say without Leslie, I would have spent more for something I wanted less. If all sales people had Leslie’s work ethic, buying things would be a whole lot easier." - A.S. September, 2013

"Leslie was fabulous to work with...bringing a rare mix of genuine personality and investment to the project along with an understated aggressiveness. Our property was not an 'easy-to-sell' listing. Leslie met with us to understand our goals, was easy to share personal and financial goals and concerns with, and worked with unparalleled diligence to sell our property. We would both highly recommend Leslie to friends and would turn to her as our go to agent for any future real estate needs." March, 2013

"I had the very good fortune to work with Leslie during a recent purchase in of a condo in the Ashmont section of Dorchester. During the the long, arduous and often frustrating process, Leslie was professional, energetic, focused and dedicated to helping me find the perfect home for me in a community she is knowledgeable and passionate about. It was a pleasure to work with her and I would highly recommend her services to anyone looking for a realtor who works tirelessly to find the right property in the right neighborhood for her client." - J.M.

Just closed at 774 E. 3rd St. - South Boston, and we are so proud of this one.

This transaction came full circle in the best way. The buyer is a referral from another first-time homebuyer I had the joy of working with. Getting to know her through this process was such a pleasure and watching her purchase her very first home at such a young age? I am just so impressed. She is going to do great things.

What I loved most about working with Kara is that she knew exactly what she wanted and was not going to settle until we found the right fit - and we did. The right home, in the exact neighborhood she had her heart set on. That kind of clarity and patience pays off, and this is proof.

A big thank you to Christopher Fitzpatrick for repping a great listing and managing all the details to make the closing happen, and to .gillies.esq of Dalton & Feingold for her expertise and guidance every step of the way. Grateful for great people on the other side of the table.

Congratulations, Kara - welcome home. This is just the beginning.

Thinking about buying this year? Let’s talk — we’d love to help you find exactly what you’re looking for.

One weekend. Multiple offers. 5%+ over asking.

461 Ashmont #1 is officially sold, and this one is a perfect example of what happens when pricing, presentation, and strategy all work together.

We helped our seller secure a strong result, negotiate a seller rent-back for a smoother transition, and coordinate the next move with Compass colleague , who helped them find their new home on the North Shore.

Congratulations to our seller and to the buyer, represented by .stephen of .

Sold in Milton | Seller Representation 🏡✨

We brought it to market, and the market responded. 14 offers. Cash sale. Closed over ask by 21%+. 🙌

Set on a coveted corner lot in one of Milton’s most desirable neighborhoods, this one had everything - hardwood floors, sun-filled living spaces, an updated kitchen, refined baths, radiant heat, a private patio and sweeping Blue Hills views. Every detail reflected years of thoughtful care and true pride of ownership.

Homes like this are rare because they offer more than square footage - they carry history, warmth, and the kind of effortless comfort that’s hard to replicate. The right buyers recognized that immediately.

Congratulations to my seller as he embarks on a well-deserved new chapter, and welcome home to the new owners - you’re going to love it here.

A huge thank you to the incredible team that made this happen: .homes, , and - your work always elevates the story we’re telling.
