Chris Leeper Treating You Like Family

Written by H. K. Wilson - Photography by Ian Wiant

ome is all about family, and for Realtor® Chris Leeper, the two have always been inexorably intertwined. He grew up wiring houses with his father, a master electrician, and made the construction business his first career. Always the adventurer, he obtained his helicopter pilot’s license along the way.

When construction all but stopped during the Great Recession, Chris partnered with a Realtor® friend to rehab bank-owned properties. “That was my first introduction to real estate,” Chris says, “and after working with a

lot of Realtors®, I decided to get my license.”

Chris leveraged his construction background to generate rapid success in his real estate career. His first transactions were part of a builder closeout. He fearlessly put on his boots and hard hat and walked the construction site and, after meeting the head of sales, he liquidated the last five houses in the upscale development. “That experience catapulted me into the business and, after a few years, I had more business than I could handle.”

Chris and his fiancé, Tina Nathasingh That was a decade ago, and today, Chris is the CEO of the Leeper Realty Group at Coldwell Banker Town & Country in Moreno Valley. After establishing himself as a successful solo agent, Chris turned real estate into yet another family enterprise. His sister, Misty Meyers, is a licensed agent and notary who acts as the team’s operations manager. “She

is my right hand and does everything to better serve our clients — marketing, accounting, transaction coordination, team support — she does it all.” Chris’s brother Ryan and brother-in-law Jarrod are also agents on the team. The family atmosphere has attracted additional talent, including power producer Staci Guevara.

Under the tutelage of real estate trainer Tom Ferry and Coldwell Banker Broker Lance Martin, Chris has continued to up his game and create a dynamic workplace where agents thrive and clients’ dreams come true. “I’m dedicated to my craft,” Chris says. “I wake up in the morning and go through trainings and continuing education. I’m not naive to think I know everything. In fact, I think the exact opposite of that. I’m constantly trying to better myself and stay up to date so I can help my team and our clients achieve their goals.”

Chris takes inspiration from the Jesse Itzler quote, “How you do anything is how you do everything.”

“It’s always stuck with me. No matter whether I was

playing baseball or trying different careers, both parents said if you do something, do it 110 percent. Don’t leave anything on the table. I believe it’s put me in the position I’m in today. From early in my career helping other agents in the office, I always showed up early and was the last to leave. Now I’m getting referrals from those agents because I earned their trust. Agents are either very competitive and out to beat the next guy or collaborative because they believe there is plenty of business for everybody. I fall into the latter. To me, it’s not about being number one. I’d rather throw someone on my back and help them climb the mountain. It makes sense to be building and growing a team, and I try to lead by example.”

Chris says he is always looking to expand with likeminded agents who are dedicated to service, and he is anticipating a prosperous 2021. “One of my goals moving forward is to help mentor younger agents and share what has made me successful. Ultimately, unit sales are not my motivation. It’s more that I’d like to help 250 families achieve their goal of buying or selling their single biggest investment of a lifetime this year.”

Chris’s entrepreneurial endeavors extend to his company LRG Productions, an in-house videography service that he is now offering to other agents. He also manages Riverside County Eats, a platform that highlights some of his favorite local businesses. “It’s really about developing relationships in the community, doing a service to business owners and

adding value to my clients by recommending great places to go.”

Born and raised in the Inland Empire, Chris is closely connected to his neighbors and community. He and his fiancé, Tina Nathasingh, enjoy hanging out with old friends and making new ones. For Chris, real estate is a means by which his family is taking care of yours. “I think people do business with those they know, love and trust. I do what I believe is right, and I’m committed to the process.

I’m not trying to sell anybody on anything. I present the facts so they can make the best decision possible for them and their family.”
