Owner
Lesley Hurst
Lesley Hurst is the owner of Penn Charter Abstract. She grew up in Indiana, and moved to Pennsylvania
to raise her family in 2001. She began her work in the title industry in July of 2020, and immediately fell in love with the day to day operations of the company! She began working for the company under the previous owner, and only four months into her efforts, he decided to offer her the company. She enthusiastically agreed, purchased the company in April 2021, and never looked back. She passionately loves working with her clients, not only realtors and loan officers, but new homeowners and borrowers as well. She will always continue to do everything possible to help get all parties to settlement quickly and efficiently. She has instilled this passion into her team as well!
Lesley is also a full-time single mom to five beautiful children, two girls and three boys. When she isn’t busy at the office, you will find her spending time with her family, traveling, playing games at home, or just simply relaxing by the fire with a glass of wine. Lesley also enjoys fitness. Working out is a passion of hers, so much so that she has trained in cross-fit and has ran two marathons, as well as numerous other races and competitions.
