Born and raised in historic downtown Charleston, Leize Gaillard is a twelve-generation native to the city, with her family's French Huguenot roots dating back to 1680's Charleston. Her first piece of "real estate" was a replica Charleston single house built for her by her grandfather, former Charleston Mayor, J. Palmer Gaillard, for her third Christmas.

Leize has a passion for Charleston architecture and historic preservation and appreciates the role of a real estate agent to encourage a spirit of stewardship among would-be buyers of Charleston property. She enthusiastically shares life-long knowledge and experience of the Lowcountry with clients and customers so that all who come here feel a sense of welcome as they consider making Charleston their home.

Leize attended Charleston Day School and Porter-Gaud School before earning a Bachelor of Arts in Economics at Davidson College in Davidson, NC and a Masters of Education in Counselor Education at the University of Virginia in Charlottesville, VA. Prior to pursuing a career with William Means, she worked in higher education administration at the College of Charleston.

Joining her experience helping people with her love and appreciation for place, Leize joined William Means to launch her real estate career in 2014. She quickly became a Realtor to watch, joining the ranks as a Realtor of Distinction within her first two years in the business. Her client-focus and attention to detail is a hallmark of her style as a Realtor.

Leize is active in the Charleston community, currently serving on the Easement Committee for Historic Charleston Foundation. She has previously served on the Board of Directors of Society 1858, an auxiliary group of the Gibbes Museum of Art and for Enough Pie, a start-up non-profit aimed at promoting arts-based community engagement in Charleston's upper peninsula. She has been a contributor to South of Broad Living neighborhood magazine and currently has a dedicated audience that enjoys her monthly e-newsletters which feature real estate and community news and happenings.

Leize resides on Charleston's upper peninsula near Hampton Park with her husband and son. In her spare time, Leize is a prolific seamstress and knitter, and she is relearning piano. Leize can be found riding her bike with her son to his neighborhood school most mornings. Follow Leize on Instagram @leizegaillard.
