Since entering her career in real estate, Alice Leeper has been dedicated to helping people make a huge, stress-free financial commitment. “Buying or selling a house is a major financial commitment for an individual,” she says. “They are looking to you for advice and well-researched recommendations.”

As a broker and salesperson at HomeTown COMO Group with RE/MAX Boone Realty, Leeper says she has learned how to adapt to different circumstances and hardships, including the pandemic. Luckily, she was prepared with a plan already in place. “I was already using 3D walkthroughs and a full package of professional photography, including overhead drone shots on all my listings, regardless of price,” she says. “I’ve continued to do that on each and every listing.”

Leeper says the most meaningful career moment occurred when she was selected as Realtor Salesperson of the Year in 2021. “This is a peer-selected award, which makes it all the more meaningful.”
Leeper hopes her success and dedication will inspire other women who may just be starting their careers. “It’s the culmination of hard work, dedication, and above all a commitment to strong moral code,” she says of being part of “Women to Watch.”

For those interested in real estate, Leeper says to go all in. “Just recognize that this is a commission-based job, and you need to have a financial cushion in place before you start,” she says. It’s essential to take all the opportunities that come your way and follow through on all commitments.

Lepper says real estate continues to be the best profession she has ever encountered, and she hopes others will also experience this kind of work. But remember, she says, it’s all about the work you put in. “My success is 100% dependent upon how hard or how much I want to work,” she says.
