About Leighton
|
Drive, Passion, Determination
Wandering along the secluded nature trails with his wife, Kimberley, Leighton can’t
help but marvel at the peaceful surroundings. Like many who are fortunate to call this
area home, he enjoys the simple pleasures of life in Rancho Santa Fe.
What many don’t realize, however, is that this quietly determined man was responsible
for significant changes in the textile industry during the ‘70s. It’s also
not commonly known that he proudly served as a Platoon Leader in the U.S. Coast Guard
or that he’s personally restored three historic homes. No, most simply know Leighton
to be a friendly neighbor and one of the hardest working men in San Diego. |

A Life Changing Experience
Leighton has always had a passion for pursuing excellence and pushing himself to new
limits. He believes in creating new professional standards rather than settling for
business as usual. This passion for excellence was discovered hanging from two rings
in a high school gym in his hometown of Abington, Pennsylvania.
Leighton was introduced to gymnastics by his high school coach, a successful Olympian.
His coach’s driving attention to excellence set a benchmark for Leighton that still
inspires him. Leighton went on to become a state champion on the still rings, and it
was this personal experience that showed him any goal in life was possible if he was
willing to work hard. From this realization he came to view excellence not as an ending
point, but rather as a goal to be pursued each and every day.
From his traditional East coast roots to California’s Rancho Santa Fe, this philosophy
has proven to be a guiding influence, and is a part of the reason he has been successfully
breaking new ground in real estate for more than 25 years.
Pushing the Envelope
Leighton has built his reputation as a leading real estate professional by challenging
traditional methodologies and pushing the envelope to establish a new professional
standard of service for his clients.
His critical approach to business and his desire to help reshape the real estate industry
is why he has served as a Director of the Board of Realtors for 12 years and was elected
by his peers as the President of the MLS for three terms.
A Sophisticated Approach
Leighton’s continual pursuit of excellence has helped him change the way homes are
marketed in San Diego. His proven approach to marketing helps clients achieve the highest
return on their investment dollar.
For buyers, Leighton provides an intimate knowledge of the communities he serves as
well as his proprietary Home Buyer’s Organizer that assists buyers in comparing and
contrasting properties quickly and easily to ensure they find their ideal home.
A New Professional Standard
Whether you are buying or selling a property, Leighton’s greatest asset is his tireless
drive to improve himself both personally and professionally. From reading books for
personal inspiration, producing community maps, or reviewing other successful business
approaches in the Harvard Business Review, Leighton simply never stops looking for
innovative ways to better serve his clients.
“Ordinary thinking yields ordinary
results,” says Leighton. “It’s only when you’re willing to question traditional methods
that you can truly achieve a new professional standard in service.”
