Those that meet and work with Leigh-Ayne (LA) experience firsthand, her unique ability to connect with people by making them feel like family. A native of Madison, Wisconsin, in pursuit of her passion for voice performance, LA moved east to attend the Milwaukee High School of the Arts. After time spent in Chicago and New York via positions in modeling, event planning, finance, and sales, LA returned to Milwaukee to direct her energy towards a new career in real estate. Love for her diverse community and a genuine passion for helping people, has helped LA establish herself as a leading resource in the Milwaukee, Ozaukee, and Dane counties—with specialized services for clients that are first-time home buyers, investors, or relocating. LA believes everyone deserves luxury service, regardless of price point. This philosophy is emphatically shared by her real estate partner (and mother) Donece Thomas. LA and Donece work together, seamlessly, across every detail, for every client—taking pride in their reputation for best-in-class service. LA’s longtime involvement with the arts inspires her to remain a constant advocate and she also enjoys volunteering with the Hunger Task Force. Traveling and seeking life-enhancing experiences are a priority for LA, but when she is home, it is about enjoying a good brunch and spending time with her 3-year-old Bernedoodle, Bear.
