Lesley Madden is a lifelong resident of Cashiers, NC, bringing deep roots and unmatched local insight to every client she serves. A graduate of Western Carolina University with a B.S. in Nutrition and Dietetics, Lesley dedicated over a decade to her career as a Registered Dietitian at Highlands Cashiers Hospital and as a healthcare consultant before transitioning into real estate. Her professional journey includes managing vacation rental properties, co-owning The Cashiers Store as part of her commitment to the local community, and personally building and selling multiple homes as investments—experiences that give her clients an insider’s perspective on both the lifestyle and the investment opportunities of thePlateau.

Known for her approachable style and strong commitment to relationships, Lesley values listening to clients and tailoring each real estate experience to their unique goals. She understands that buying or selling a home is both a financial and a personal milestone, and she works diligently to ensure the process feels seamless, informed, and comfortable.

Outside of real estate, Lesley is married to Jeff, a lifelong Cashiers resident and grading contractor with three decades of experience. Together, they’ve raised two sons—one a student at Auburn University and another a high school senior—and share their home with three dogs, Deuce, Jeter, and Bo. A fitness enthusiast and community advocate, Lesley blends her professional expertise with genuine care, making clients feel right at home from the very first conversation.
