About Us

The Birth of Asistio

Lesleyโ€™s search for the perfect virtual assistant led her to discover the incredible potential of this resource. Through patience, effective communication, and a commitment to developing robust systems and processes, Lesley and her VA, Ellie, built a strong, synergistic partnership. This partnership not only transformed Lesleyโ€™s business but also laid the foundation for what would become Asistio.

Our Founder: Lesley Stoneham

Asistio was founded by Lesley Stoneham, a top-producing Real Estate Broker and Team Leader of Stone + Co. Real Estate. Lesley’s journey to creating Asistio began with her own challenges in managing an ever-growing workload. Initially hesitant to hire an offshore assistant due to past experiences with office-based assistants, Lesley sought new strategies to streamline her business operations. After Her path led her to participate in coaching sessions aimed at transforming agents into 7-figure earners. It was during these sessions that Lesley was advised to consider a virtual assistant to help alleviate her workload.

I Know What It Feels Like, Because I Was You.

Before Asistio was born, I was where so many of you are right now, overwhelmed, maxed out, and stretched too thin. I was a top-producing Real Estate Broker and Team Leader running a successful business, but behind the scenes, I was drowning.

My business was growing fast (a blessing, yes, but also a beast), and I was wearing every single hat: agent, marketer, admin, transaction coordinator, social media manager, you name it.

The truth?

I was burned out.

My home life was taking a back seat, my health was on pause, and important things were slipping through the cracks.

I knew I couldnโ€™t keep going like that. Something had to give. And it did.

Then came Ellie.

Hiring Ellie was the moment everything changed. She wasnโ€™t just help. She was the turning point. She brought structure, support, and systems into my business in a way I didnโ€™t even know was possible, all from her home halfway around the world at the time.

I could breathe again.

I let go.

We improved my systems.

We documented processes.

And guess what?

Thatโ€™s why we founded Asistio, because real estate agents like you shouldnโ€™t have to burn out to break through.

You deserve support, structure, and strategy that works with you, not against you. Asistio exists to help you grow your business sustainably, without losing yourself, your sanity, or your Saturdays.

If your business is outgrowing you, I see you. I was you.

Let us help you build whatโ€™s next.
