About Leslie Nowell

Helping people has always been at the heart of who I am. As a lifelong resident of North Mississippi and living in Olive Branch for over 30 years, I have a deep love for DeSoto County and the community that has shaped my family and my life.

Before beginning my career in real estate, I had the privilege of teaching elementary school in Olive Branch, where I discovered the joy of encouraging, educating, and building lasting relationships. Later, I was blessed with the opportunity to stay home and raise my own children throughout their school years—a season of life I will always cherish.

For more than three decades, my husband’s business has proudly served the heart of Olive Branch and the surrounding Mid-South. Through education, small business, and years of community involvement, our family has been deeply rooted in this region, giving me a firsthand appreciation for the people, neighborhoods, and values that make North Mississippi such a special place to call home.

When I decided to return to the workforce, I chose real estate because it allowed me to continue supporting my family while building a career centered on serving others. As an almost empty nester, I now have the time, flexibility, and dedication to fully invest in my clients and help them achieve their real estate goals.

After being a licensed Mississippi REALTOR® for the past four years, I am incredibly excited to begin this new chapter with Local Agency Realty Group. Joining this team represents an exciting opportunity to grow both personally and professionally. I was drawn to Local Agency Realty Group because of its dedication to equipping and training its agents, its collaborative culture, and its commitment to serving clients with excellence and integrity. Being part of a brokerage that shares my values allows me to continue learning, growing, and providing the highest level of service to every client I have the privilege of representing.

My background in education taught me the importance of patience, communication, organization, and listening—qualities I bring to every transaction. Whether you’re buying your first home, searching for your forever home, selling a cherished property, or relocating to North Mississippi, I am committed to making the process as smooth and enjoyable as possible while earning your trust through honesty, dedication, and genuine care.

To me, real estate is about more than buying and selling homes—it’s about serving people, strengthening our community, and helping families find the place they’ll love to call home. It would be my privilege to guide you through your next move and help you confidently begin your next chapter.
