Ron Leffler

Residential Real Estate Broker at Ron Leffler Real Estate

Alexandria, VA, USA
real estate

Something else happened when I purchased my first home. I developed a love of improving properties. The first home I purchased was a true “fixer upper.” I put work into it, and I learned from the contractors I hired to do the heavy lifting. I was encouraged by the positive responses I got for my hard work from family, friends and neighbors. Since then, I’ve taken on more “fixer uppers,” and I have learned which investments pay off and how to find trustworthy contractors who bring value to the projects. As a Realtor, I act as a home advisor to my clients, sharing my home-improvement knowledge with them. For buyers, that means I am happy to advise you on which projects will provide you with a good return on investment, and I can steer you toward the area’s best contractors. For sellers, that means I can help you make inexpensive, worthwhile changes that will make your home more attractive to buyers.
