Meet Michael

Outside of real estate, I am an AKC dog show judge and enjoy gardening, fitness, travel, and maintaining aquariums. These interests have taught me the value of patience, attention to detail, continuous learning, and long-term commitment. They also reinforce my appreciation for the places we call home and the environments that help us live our best lives. I bring those same qualities to every client relationship, striving to provide thoughtful guidance, clear communication, and exceptional service throughout the real estate process.

 

In addition to serving buyers and sellers throughout Northeast Florida, I help clients connect with trusted real estate professionals across the United States and internationally. Through years of industry involvement and professional networking, I have built relationships with agents who share my commitment to knowledge, service, and professionalism.

Client Testimonials

Michael is an amazing Realtor and take great pride in his work and business. He helped me sell a rental property in Florida virtually from California. His team also includes renovation services that were needed to freshen the property post rental. He was very knowledgeable with market conditions, what the most popular painting and floor design are (to make the home move in ready) and always on hand to brainstorm the best plan. Thank you Michael for all your help.

I was so very lucky to have Michael Leachman as my realtor. He was very knowledgeable, professional, and above all kind and sensitive to my situation. I had to sell my parents home because they both passed away within six weeks of each other.At all times, Michael had my best interest at heart! He treated me like I was his only client; taking the time to answer all my questions by phone, email, or text. Michael was very patient and very understanding of how hard the entire process was for me. Michael, not only provided professional guidance but personal insight to help me move forward when I didn't think I was capable.Michael is one of a kind agent! He is passionate about his work and treats his clients as if they were the most important client ever. I was blessed to have him represent me (and my parents) in the sale of their home.I will definitely call Michael Leachman for future real estate needs.

As a first time buyer, Michael always answered all my questions in a timely manner, and helped guide me through the entire process. His professionalism and attention to detail is unmatched. I am currently working with Michael on a second transaction, and I will use him on any future transaction.

Michael is a friendly and very knowledgeable agent who I would recommend without hesitation. He is personable, professional and highly efficient. I am based in the UK and Michael helped me search out a small selection of prestige sea front properties for my viewing and eventual purchase. We are still in touch and his local knowledge remains invaluable.
