Les was born and raised in South Carolina and has been practicing real estate for nearly 30 years. Les and his team, The Les Walden Real Estate Team, was a part of the market during the 2007-2008 housing crisis and he believes that it is important to keep the context of the real estate market in mind. With all the talk today about the Federal rates and interest rates changing, Les constantly reminds people that the market is “normalizing”, it is not crashing.
