Bob Leonardi, AARE, CES
Broker-in-Charge

Founder of The Auction Co. & Real Estate Inc., Bob entered the residential real estate field in 1974.  Recognizing early-on that the opportunities in real estate were limitless, he expanded into commercial sales, auctioneering, land development and general contracting.

He soon realized that to survive the economic swings of the American economy it would be necessary to develop various plans of “alternative and niche marketing”.  As a result he has received local and national media attention for his success in marketing real estate during both favorable and difficult economic times. Additionally, Bob is well known for his ability to raise tens of thousands of dollars a year for charitable causes.
