PALM SPRINGS, Calif. (Feb. 25, 2019) — Better Homes and Gardens Real Estate LLC announced today that Leaskou Partners, a residential real estate brokerage firm headquartered in Palm Springs, is the newest member of its franchise network. The firm will now do business as Better Homes and Gardens Real Estate Leaskou Partners. Broker and owner Benjamin Leaskou will continue to helm the firm.

Details:

  • A tenacious salesman and natural leader, broker and owner Benjamin Leaskou found himself craving a new challenge after retiring from a successful career in the auto industry at the age of 44. Upon receiving his real estate license, Leaskou quickly rose through the ranks to become one of the top realtors in the region before starting his own independent brokerage in Palm Springs in 2013.
  • When Leaskou first relocated to Palm Springs in 2006, the market was known primarily to be driven by retirees and second-home buyers, many of whom relocated to Palm Springs to escape the harsh winter weather of their home towns. However, since beginning his real estate venture, he has witnessed the region’s evolution into a premiere, year-round destination appealing to homebuyers and renters from all demographics with its creativity-driven culture, world-class dining and attractions such as Coachella, Splash House, Modernism Week, and the Palm Springs International Film Festival.
  • Leaskou promotes continued professional development by motivating his agents to strive toward ambitious goals that far exceed their past accomplishments. As a result, despite being one of the smaller brokerages in the area by agent count, Better Homes and Gardens Real Estate Leaskou Partners is regularly among the top performers for real estate sales in Palm Springs.
  • A commitment to continued innovation has enabled Better Homes and Gardens Real Estate Leaskou Partners to navigate significant transformation in the real estate industry. Both Leaskou and his affiliated sales professionals plan to leverage the state-of-the-art tools Better Homes and Gardens Real Estate provides to strengthen their capabilities and execute a strategic expansion beyond the Palm Springs area.
