Kenneth Leath

I have been a Realtor in this market for more than twenty-five years and have been in the housing industry for more than 35. My experience includes working with Buyers and Sellers, new construction, residential and commercial properties, and everything else involved in the transfer and management of real estate.

I have a unique background that includes owning my own home inspection business, as well as a radon testing and mitigation company. Previous to that, I spent years as an accountant, in the cabinet business, working as an electrician and as a finish-carpenter. There's no doubt I know more about houses than your average Realtor.

Since 2005, I have been teamed with Tricia DeCerbo (now Tricia Leath), who is a life-long resident of this area. Tricia has a background that includes five years at a local law firm and work experience with one of the areas leading lenders. This has given her great perspective on everything that affects the real estate transaction. The benefit to you is that you get two Realtors for the price of one, assuring that someone is almost always available to answer your questions or take your calls.

Find Your Next Home

You need someone who knows this area inside and out! We can work with you to find the right home at the right price for you, including all the neighborhood amenities that matter – not to mention the essential criteria you have for your ideal home

Sell a Home

When it's time to move, you need someone who will advertise your home, show to prospective buyers, negotiate the purchase contract, arrange financing, oversee the inspections, handle all necessary paperwork and supervise the closing. We can take care of everything you need, from start to close.

Consult on Home Selling Tactics

Oftentimes buyers don't visualize living in your home the way you do. We can make your home attractive to its ideal audience – which can help you get top dollar. Things like staging the home, making repairs or minor improvements, or even simply painting the walls can be the difference between a home resting on the market and one that's sold fast.
