Where Leslie’s Real Estate Career Began
Astra Realty is a full-service real estate agency in McKinney, Texas, led by Broker Leslie Remy and General Manager Steven Remy. The husband-and-wife team opened the brokerage in 2012. Before that, their path ran through Air Force duty stations in New Mexico and Colorado.
Leslie and Steven were engaged in 2002, while Leslie was at Baylor University and Steven was preparing to join the Air Force after Texas A&M. After they graduated and married, the Air Force sent them to their first duty station in Alamogordo, New Mexico.
Leslie began her real estate career in Alamogordo, working under a local broker who paid for her license and passed along foreclosure listings for her to work.
When the Air Force moved the couple to Denver, Leslie transferred her license and kept working in real estate. Steven served five years in the Air Force and held the rank of Captain.
Returning Home to Open Astra Realty
By 2012, the Remys had moved back to Texas to stay, and they opened Astra Realty in McKinney. Leslie already had about a decade of real estate experience. In the early years, she grew the business largely through referrals.
Steven, meanwhile, had moved from the Air Force into federal law enforcement, where he focused on financial crimes. He also earned his real estate license so he could help when needed. In a March 2021 interview on The Platform Marketing Show, Leslie described him this way: “He was always kind of the driving force behind the business side of our brokerage.”
As demand grew, the Remys began adding agents. Today, Astra Realty is an independent firm working in residential and commercial real estate, with a team of agents serving McKinney and surrounding North Texas communities. Readers can learn more about the agents on the Astra Realty team page.
Leslie Remy: Broker and Mentor
Leslie is a native Texan with more than 23 years of experience in real estate. Over her career, she has worked as both a real estate agent and an investor. She is no longer taking on new clients herself. Instead, she devotes her time to mentoring and supporting the agents on her team.
That role connects back to her own start. The broker in New Mexico who paid for her license also gave her leads to get started. Looking back on that start in the 2021 interview, she said, “now it’s full circle for me that I’m able to do that for agents.”
On the team itself, she added, “We hope that we are showing our agents enough value that they are in it with us for the long haul, because that’s how we feel about them.”
Steven Remy: General Manager
Steven serves as General Manager of Astra Realty. After his time in federal law enforcement, he became a mergers and acquisitions advisor, helping individuals and corporations buy and sell businesses. He later worked as a business broker until he turned his focus to a new venture, opening Paul Davis Restoration of Northeast Texas. Steven is a third-generation entrepreneur.
Steven has spoken about how he and Leslie view the agents they support. In the 2021 interview, he said the agents are “not here for us by any means. We are here for them.”
