Leo Merle

Leo has been an active Sonoma Valley Real Estate professional for the past 40 years. His love of the land and the natural world led him to become a highly regarded Land and Country property specialist by his clients and peers. A perennial top producer, Leo's experience as an eight year sales manager of 4 offices with 40 agents, a general partner in numerous Sonoma Valley real estate developments, a Community College Real Estate instructor, current Country Properties mentor to the Wine Country Group's 50 agents and over 300 sales transactions in Sonoma Valley have afforded him a wide range of experiences and the capacity to advise his clients and fellow agents in a constructive and knowledgeable manner.

A former professional Photojournalist, Leo's striking images grace the offices of the Wine Country Group, receiving may compliments from visiting clients and agents alike. His property web sites have been described as 'stunningly beautiful'.

A fourth generation San Franciscan, Leo has captured poignant tales of the City and his experiences in the natural world which are contained in his often published Poetry that he presents to his fellow Realtors monthly at the Brokers tour meeting, to enthusiastic applause.
