“My go-to agent”
I never considered or looked into any broker other than Bobby Leonard. Everything was smooth and he was helpful every step of the way! House sold on the first day and we closed within 2 weeks. It was a terrific experience and I would highly recommend Bobby.

“Beneficial builder insights”
Robert was my one-stop shop for everything I needed while buying my new home, and selling my old home. His attention to detail and knowledge of the market are noteworthy. In addition, he has experience as a builder which truly sets Robert apart from the other realtors. I will not hesitate to use him again.

“A pleasure to work with”
Mr. Leonard was very sensitive to my needs especially since my husband had only passed away 6 months prior to putting the house up for sale. I wasn’t sure if I was ready for the house to go on the market, but he explained to me that the “bones” of the house were excellent and that buyers will want to put their own touches on the house. He explained what buyers are looking for and for a desired location. By the fifth day after listing, I got a full price offer! I will definitely be referring him to others.
