About Leslie Kessell

Professional Specialty

I have been in the insurance industry for over 20 year's and I still love what I do. I grew up in South Boston and have lived in South Plymouth for the last 18 years. I am the proud mom of 3 amazing sons. Educating my clients while providing them with the best products and premiums is the highlight of my day. I have worked on the South Shore for most of my career from Boston to Nantucket. I was actively involved in the Flood Re-mapping in the City of Quincy back in 2012 working with the City Engineers, attending Town Meetings and working with the residents to help them understand the impact of the flood zone changes. I continue to work closely with buyers and realtors all over the South Shore that need immediate information relative to the flood zones, transfer of current flood policies and provide the best rates with NFIP and/or the Private Flood markets. This immediacy results in whether a buyer goes forward or decides to keep looking at other options.

My proudest achievement has been raising my 3 sons. My oldest son was a Boys and Girls club "Leader of the Year" in Charlestown, MA. and he is a graduate of Boston Latin school. My middle son implemented a Water Safety Program for all third graders in Plymouth and presented in front of the school board at 20yo and they overturned a ruling on their books that has been there for over 50 years. (No field trips near water). He was Young Marine of the year with the Old Colony Young Marines, and he was also the Boys and Girls Club Youth of the Year.
