As a skilled communicator and patient negotiator, Leonie pays great attention to detail leaving nothing to chance. She approaches each day with professionalism, energy, enthusiasm and optimism. Her calm and confident approach sees her build strong relationships with vendors and buyers resulting in much repeat business. Leonie relishes the pleasure of assisting many clients on their real estate journey from purchasing their first and subsequent homes to helping them again when it is time to relocate or downsize.

Hard work and excellent customer service were instilled in Leonie at a very young age.

Born in Bendigo to Dutch parents, Leonie briefly tried her hand as a clerical assistant at a local dental surgery before joining Win Patten Real Estate as ‘girl Friday’.
She quickly embraced the industry and gained valuable experience providing her with the confidence to purchase her first home and become a fully licensed agent before her 21st birthday.

45 years later Leonie is still in the real estate industry and just as passionate about the Bendigo market.

She knows the local market intimately having built or renovated about 15 homes in and around Bendigo. Her extensive knowledge and experience covers all areas of the market with a focus on higher-end properties.

In her spare time, Leonie enjoys spending time with her partner Ken at his farm in Elmore or with her daughter Alex, who lives and works in Melbourne.

Her other passion is travel – if she's not at work, she's tripping around the globe somewhere recharging her batteries.

“Real Estate is in my blood. I love matching buyers to properties and am committed to providing the best experience for my clients.”

As one of Bendigo’s leading Agents with over 30 years’ experience, Kaye is highly regarded by her industry peers, colleagues and clients alike enjoying great repeat and referral business from her many happy clients.

Kaye’s philosophy, never lose sight that your clients are individual and deserve the highest level of service means giving each client the time, care and attention they deserve.

It’s a philosophy she has followed since starting out with her father Jack Lazenby in his real estate firm which merged with DCK back in 1997.

Kaye started in reception, moved into property management and then quickly discovered a passion for sales which has worked to help shape and build her vast experience and understanding of the property industry.

“Being part of a large team of people definitely has its advantages. I see many service benefits for both clients and staff. It means having back up from admin and social media experts, property managers to offer advice, as well as a team of colleagues who can share valuable insights and knowledge - all that combined provides peace of mind to our clients. DCK is a large, well established business. We always have a wide selection of purchasers to choose from which enables us to sell property faster. We specialise in and sell a diverse range of property, right across the Greater Bendigo region.”

In her spare time, you’ll find Kaye walking around the Kennington Reservoir or enjoying a family cycle with her husband Martyn, son James and daughter in law Ashlee.

If you are looking for a caring local who will work tirelessly to sell your property, then give Kaye a call.
