Lesley Barlow

I moved to Florida from Toronto 22 years ago and raised a family. It was supposed to be a temporary move, but we fell in love with the climate and the warmth of our neighbors. Florida is my paradise! Raising my two children gave me the precious gifts of patience and calmness!

They are all grown up and Laura is a grad student working toward her Masters of Fine Arts at the University of Michigan. Sean is studying at the University of Central Florida 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 joined The Menton & Ballou Group — a team of top performers with $65 million in sales over the last year. This means we have experience getting properties closed!

My husband is a certified general contractor, and we enjoy boating on the St. Johns River, touring Florida, and antiquing. Something most people don’t know about me is that I started a successful communicating consulting business at age 25, and taught communication courses at my alma mater.
