Jaylene Leonbruno opened Tailored Real Estate Group, after working in real estate for over 15 years.
The office is located in the Bluth Building at 2452 Route 9 in Malta, on the third floor. The office opened around a year ago, and Leonbruno said she has had a very strong start to her first year in business.
Leonbruno began her career in real estate by helping sell properties her father-in-law purchased at tax auctions. She represented him in the selling listing.
“I became a broker-owner because I felt like there were things in the industry that I wanted more of from a company,” said Leonbruno. “I felt I could fill in the gaps in areas I thought were lacking. And I could offer that to someone else as well. I wanted to start a company where people could grow and evolve without the constraints of a big business.”
Leonbruno houses 10 agents in addition to herself. Her specialty is in new construction. She represents G.W. Luxe and Heritage Custom Builders with multiple subdivisions primarily in Saratoga County. She services from the Bolton Landing area as far south as Albany. Her primary focus is Clifton Park through Glens Falls.
Leonbruno says her love of new construction lies mostly in seeing something beautiful come from nothing.
“I love that you can watch something go through so many different steps and evolve into something spectacular. I love the artistic side to it. It’s a good feeling of accomplishment,” she said.
Leonbruno has been in the business long enough to go through a couple market cycles now.
“With any market, it can feel like a roller coaster ride for sure. Things are catching up. There was some elevated pricing with new construction because of product delays and lack of availability, but overall we are going continue to see a nice growth,” she said.
