Lesley Pianella is a dedicated licensed estate agent with her client’s best interests at heart. A highly skilled negotiator and communicator, Lesley feels fortunate to play an integral role in helping people move onto their next chapter and is invested in achieving outstanding results.
A proud Elwood local and passionate promoter of the lifestyle it offers, Lesley was raised and educated in Bayside, attending Star of the Sea and St Leonard’s College, before graduating with a Bachelor of Arts degree, majoring in psychology and forensic science and minoring in journalism.
After working as a journalist during a student internship in Mongolia, Lesley led a fundraising team on behalf of several non-profit organisations, including the Australian Conservation Foundation, Make-A-Wish Australia and Médecins Sans Frontières (Doctors Without Borders), personally raising a total of over $500,000 across a number of regular donation programs.

Lesley is a self-proclaimed politics nerd and hosts her own podcast Young, Dumb & Politically Disengaged, where she explores the impacts of Australia's political landscape with guests from all political persuasions across all levels of government. Lesley stood as an independent candidate for the City of Port Phillip’s 2020 local government election, running a positive and progressive campaign, receiving over five per cent of the primary vote. Lesley’s intimate knowledge of and connection to her local community sets her apart from her peers.
Outside of real estate and politics, Lesley enjoys morning Pilates and runs along Elwood beach, refining her classical piano skills and living life with her adopted greyhound, Lady. With a tireless work ethic, quick-witted sense of humour and motivation to exceed expectations, Lesley should be your first choice for all things Elwood real estate.
Lesley has created a Humans of New York-style photoblog to promote and connect local Elwood businesses to the wider community. In collaboration with local freelance photographers, the project gives local business owners a vehicle to showcase their businesses in a compelling way. Lesley shares their stories on several of Elwood’s community social media platforms, supported by the Elwood 3184 Facebook group as well as the Elwood Village Traders’ Association.
