PROFESSIONAL PROFILE
Lesley Barlow

After a successful career in communication consulting – achieving customer goals proven with measurable results, winning industry awards, teaching college-level communication classes – I moved to Florida from Toronto to raise a family.
Raising my two children gave me the precious gifts of patience and calmness! They are both grown — Laura is a graduate student at Penny W. Stamps School of Art & Design at the University of Michigan. Sean is attending UCF and majoring in Economics.
In 2013, I traded in my stay-at-home mom hat for real estate as a property manager, then transitioned into residential real estate. I sold $2.4 million in my six months before joining The MBT Group – a consistently top-rated team by the Jacksonville Business Journal, and rated in the top 1.5% nationally.
I’ve achieved the Graduate, Realtor Institute (GRI) designation which is the gold standard for real estate education achievement. My Pricing Strategy Advisor (PSA) certification shows an expertise in pricing and working with appraisers, while my Senior Real Estate Specialist (SRES®) designation conveys my commitment to meeting the unique needs of more mature real estate consumers and their families.
When not working, my husband and I enjoy boating on the St. Johns River with Teddy, our golden retriever.
I’m a Junior Girl Scout Leader with Troop 1480 in Julington Creek. Our mission is to develop an independent and entrepreneurial spirit in these girls. I also support Special Olympics and make a donation to the organization following every transaction, as well as support dog rescue efforts.
