Our Story
Established in Australia in 2009, Platinum Private Real Estate emerged as a record-breaking industry leader under the guidance of Lesley Benson. With over two decades of real estate expertise, Lesley has consistently demonstrated her commitment to excellence and client satisfaction.
Lesley's journey in the real estate sector began in Queensland, Australia, where she swiftly ascended to the top 10 agents in the central CBD, specializing in premium real estate. After working with the top three agencies, Lesley took a bold step in 2007 by founding her own agency. In just six months, she achieved outstanding sales of over $17 million, a testament to her unwavering dedication to clients.
As a licensed agent and principal, Lesley is a beacon of market knowledge and trend insights. Choosing Platinum Private Estate Agents means gaining access to this unparalleled expertise. Lesley embodies integrity, hard work, and creative energy in every transaction, drawing from her background in training sales teams for renowned global companies.
Lesley's success in the premium market arises from her understanding of both sellers and buyers. Her approach involves strategic planning, successful negotiation tactics, and a highly driven mindset, resulting in numerous awards throughout her career.
Having made the UK her home in 2013, Lesley now resides in the picturesque Yorkshire Dales. The past two years have been dedicated to researching the market and integrating her expertise in Australian design methods into this exciting new venture.
Lesley's mission is clear – to streamline the real estate process in the UK while providing unparalleled customer service. She believes in going the extra mile, understanding that the difference between extraordinary and ordinary lies in that little bit extra.
