Leigh Cottingham Corso
VP of Branding & Engagement | Realtor®/Broker, NC & SC
For as long as I can remember, I knew I wanted to be a Realtor. My dad, Dan, and John Chalk opened Cottingham Chalk before I was born, so, I guess you could say I was born into real estate. After graduating from UNC-Chapel Hill in 2007, it was game time. I actually think I was lucky to enter this business during a downturn because it allowed me to learn the market from all angles and better appreciate the successes I’ve achieved over the [...]
For as long as I can remember, I knew I wanted to be a Realtor. My dad, Dan, and John Chalk opened Cottingham Chalk before I was born, so, I guess you could say I was born into real estate. After graduating from UNC-Chapel Hill in 2007, it was game time. I actually think I was lucky to enter this business during a downturn because it allowed me to learn the market from all angles and better appreciate the successes I’ve achieved over the years.
I’ve always been a bit of a perfectionist with high expectations and strong determination. I treat each client with equal enthusiasm and dedication, with a goal of developing life-long relationships. Having grown up in this great city, I offer a unique perspective to my clients, from the inside scoop on certain houses and neighborhoods to the best Mexican restaurant in town. I love what I do.
Real estate is 24/7, but I make sure to find time for philanthropy, most recently through Heart Math Tutoring at my neighborhood elementary school. Charlotte has given so much to me, it’s fulfilling to give a little back.

Fun Facts
- Why did I join Cottingham Chalk? Well, I’m not sure I really had a choice, haha…it’s in the blood!
- All of my family is in Charlotte which is one reason I love living here and why I will never leave.
- One of my favorite vacation spots is La Corso Casa in Torch Lake, Michigan. My husband, Michael’s family has a cottage on the lake where we go every summer. There is a bet every year as to whether I’ll get in the water…it’s beautiful but freezing! I always make the plunge.
- During my free time I most enjoy hanging out with my kiddos and playing tennis.
- My husband and I met on a blind date. He told his dad he was going to marry me the day after we met!
