Astra Realty is setting a new benchmark for how homes are listed and sold in McKinney and the surrounding communities. Led by owner Leslie Remy, the firm delivers boutique, one-to-one representation for buyers and sellers who value seasoned guidance, clear communication, and measurable results. The team’s approach is straightforward: every listing receives premium presentation, targeted digital reach, and professional advocacy from the first conversation through to closing. For homeowners moving up in the market, Astra Realty also specializes in coordinating the sale of an existing property while navigating a confident transition into a luxury purchase.
Boutique, Locally Owned, and Woman-Led
As a locally owned, woman-led brokerage, Astra Realty approaches every client relationship with care and accountability. Clients work directly with an experienced agent rather than being passed from department to department. The firm offers a free consultation to map out goals, timing, and pricing strategy, and weekend appointments are available by request to fit busy schedules. Astra Realty maintains an A+ rating with the Better Business Bureau, which reflects its commitment to professionalism, integrity, and service that continues long after the transaction closes.
Hyper-Local Expertise Across Collin and Eastern Denton Counties
Knowing the block-by-block story of a market is crucial. Astra Realty’s agents focus on McKinney and nearby communities across Collin and Eastern Denton Counties, bringing practical insight into schools, neighborhood character, upcoming developments, and the subtle pricing factors that national franchises may overlook. That local fluency helps sellers position a property at the right price and helps buyers spot real value. It also connects clients to a vetted network of lenders, inspectors, contractors, and stagers who keep the process moving and protect outcomes at each step.
A Modern Marketing Engine Built for Maximum Exposure
Astra Realty invests in marketing that meets today’s buyers where they shop for homes: online. Every listing is presented with professional photography and videography for a polished first impression. Immersive 3D tours and drone footage invite more serious virtual showings, while strategic, targeted social media campaigns extend reach beyond the MLS to qualified audiences. Detailed analytics give sellers a transparent view of how the market is responding so that strategies can be adjusted quickly if needed.
From Listing to Launch with Efficiency
Timing influences price, and the firm’s systems are built for a fast, coordinated launch. Astra Realty can arrange home preparation, staging, photography, and video on an accelerated schedule, helping motivated sellers compete effectively even in shifting conditions. The result is a listing that hits the market with strong presentation and immediate momentum.
Clear Communication at Every Step
Clients consistently highlight responsiveness as a key reason they return to Astra Realty. The team answers calls, responds to messages promptly, and keeps buyers and sellers informed from consultation through to closing. That attention shows up in outcomes, not just sentiment, because well-timed decisions and clean execution are easier when communication is consistent and clear.
Serving the Crossover to Luxury with Smooth Transitions
Astra Realty has carved out a niche serving professionals and families who are ready to step up to the luxury market while also selling their current home. This crossover requires more than marketing; it requires strategic coordination. The team aligns timelines, negotiates terms that protect equity, and balances the logistics of prepping, listing, and showing the current home while identifying and securing the next one. That dual-track strategy gives clients confidence to move forward without pressure, surprise costs, or unnecessary disruption.
Proven Results and Client Praise
Client experiences highlight the firm’s blend of strategy and service. One recent seller shared, “Karen Cleveland is an outstanding realtor. We just sold our home in 16 days in a very competitive market. Her joyful personality, a ‘let’s do it’ attitude, and quick responses made the process incredibly smooth” (Angie Kelly). Another review speaks to both pricing strategy and launch execution: “We were priced 10 percent higher than other agents suggested and still received three offers above asking on the day of the first open house. The house closed within a month” (Brian Burleson). These stories reflect a broader track record of five-star reviews, repeat clients, and referrals across the region.
Astra Realty’s negotiation approach extends beyond price. Agents advocate on repairs, timelines, and terms that matter to families in transition, which can mean a smoother close and a better outcome. With disciplined marketing, measured strategy, and steady communication, the firm aims to make each sale or purchase feel more like a well-managed project than a mere transaction.
