Raised in northern Massachusetts, Leighton first became interested in real estate through studying an architecture lecture series in high school. He quickly began learning as much as he could about the field by attending multiple open houses each weekend, and pursuing a position as an Office Administrator at the highest-producing firm in the county. At the age of 19, Leighton earned a scholarship to get his Virginia Real Estate license, and passed at the top of his class. Since then almost a decade has passed and Leighton has risen to be a consistent award winner within the Realtor® community (sales based) as well as being a recipient for client satisfaction based industry awards. Leighton strives to learn more about his field each day to better serve his clients, having earned multiple designations in the field. He holds two Bachelors and one Masters Degree in Business in addition to a graduate certificate in Data Analytics. A resident of Hampton Roads, he loves the community, people and real estate!
