When you have Leighton as your realtor, you get an A-level professional. You will be more than pleased with the results and experience. As a colleague and friend for more than a decade, I can say with confidence in high-end residential real estate, nobody does it better, period.
"Don Delaney, International Family Office"
Leighton is responsible, industrious, capable, tough, and fair. We had been working on a renovation for many years and it was stuck, and Leighton managed to get it going, set a schedule, and get it completed on time. He brought in additional staff, who were all excellent, and he oversaw their work meticulously. We'd never have made it into our house without him. In addition, he is unfailingly pleasant to work with and he has many keen insights about building and property management. I recommend him unconditionally.

When you find the opportunity to work with someone who has extensive experience working with luxury homes.
Leighton was truly exceptional. He has an extensive background in working with luxury homes, including overseeing extensive renovations (tens of millions of dollars for each project) for some of the most exquisite homes in the nation. He's worked with 2 presidents, some of the top businessmen in the world, and top celebrities. It helps that he has a keen eye for design and quality.
With his keen eye for detail and fierce determination getting the best possible price for the sale of my home and purchase of my new home on Longboat Key, I feel I was able to get the best possible prices on both sides of the transactions.
Leighton was ALWAYS available for home tours! His responsiveness is incredible. He answered my questions on evenings and weekends. He typically answered his phone immediately. If he didn't, he called back or responded by text within 5 minutes.
When you choose to work with Leighton, (and I HIGHLY recommend you do) he will make contact with you quickly and invite you to meet anywhere that’s convenient for you to discuss what you want, deal breakers, price ranges, neighborhoods, etc. After you finish, he will give you his opinion/feedback and ask follow-up questions. He will suggest you check out things you might not have considered, etc.
Once I found the right place, he turned into a fierce strategist and got us the place within 24 hours of it being on the market with a preemptive offer! He employed financing strategies that I wouldn’t have thought of. Leighton is just AMAZING!
Leighton’s indispensable line of communications with all vendors and parties involved, facilitated a smooth path to closing. His advocacy moved mountains! I consider myself extremely lucky and blessed to have had him as my realtor! I would rate him higher than 5 stars if I could! I will eternally be grateful that he helped me find my beautiful home.
