Kathleen Leonard
KATHLEEN LEONARD – A graduate of the University of California at Davis, Kathy grew up in Northern California where she learned to ride horses and ski at a very early age. As a past President of the San Francisco Professional Food Society, her former name, Kathleen Prisant, may be recognized in the world of culinary arts. She is a published cookbook author, magazine writer and professional food stylist/recipe developer and publicist. Kathy is a sustainer and former board member of Junior League of Napa-Sonoma, and a past board member of Giant Steps Therapeutic Equestrian Center in Petaluma. She is currently president of Slow Food Sonoma Valley and board member of Sonoma Greens Community Association and an active member of Impact 100 Sonoma.
BOB LEONARD - A former Vice President with the J. Walter Thompson Company, Bob spent 25 years working as an executive for top “Madison Avenue” advertising agencies. His advertising clients included Mercedes-Benz, the Ford Motor Company, Boeing and Gulfstream luxury business jets. While serving in the armed forces, he achieved the rank of Captain in the Marines. He has both an MA Degree from Pepperdine University and a BA Degree from Morehead State University. As the local chair of Vistage International, the world’s largest CEO membership organization, Bob consults with business owners to grow their position in the marketplace.
Kathleen and Robert Leonard work together as a team. They specialize in helping clients buy and sell exceptional properties in the Sonoma Valley where they live, work and play with their Australian Shepherd dog, Clio. Kathy handles their day-to-day real estate business while Bob concentrates on strategy and marketing.
Prior to joining the Sonoma office of Alain Pinel Realtors, they worked for Sotheby’s International Realty where they were ranked in the top ten percent of agents in Sonoma Valley. Bob and Kathy choose to make the move to Alain Pinel Realtors because of an exceptional hands-on management team and the combination of one of the most successful real estate firms in the San Francisco Bay Area and the largest international network of real estate companies (Luxury Portfolio Fine Property Collection). Bob and Kathy are members of LuxuryRealEstate.com.
Because they work mainly by referral, they spend their time servicing clients rather than chasing after new business. This is their number one competitive advantage.
