About Leon

Leon's parents, Clarence, and Lorraine Collins, both ran the original Collins Real Estate office for 30 years in Fort Valley, where Leon grew up. When he turned eighteen, he became the youngest salesperson in Georgia at the time and at 21, he became the youngest Broker in Georgia. So, as you can see, real estate is in his blood!

Leon worked for the Real Estate Department at the University of Georgia as a computer programmer during college. He wrote the first program to produce a HUD-1 Settlement Statement on a computer. So, he naturally uses the latest technological innovations in his business to help him give the most professional and personal service possible.

He graduated cum laude from the University of Georgia with a BBA in Real Estate and Urban Development. He later earned his Doctor of Laws degree from Emory University School of Law, followed by his Masters of Tax Law (LL.M) degree in Taxation from University of Miami School of Law. After practicing tax and business law for four years in Americus, GA, he and Connie moved back to Byron in 1982 to continue the family business at Collins Real Estate. And naturally, he uses his legal knowledge every day in his real estate business!

Homes.com Review

We truly appreciated both your professional expertise and the personal attention both you and Connie extended to us in handling the sale. Mark & I discussed often how much we enjoyed having you as real estate agents. -Liz & Mark Deeb

Homes.com Review

You would have to search long and hard to find Realtors as hard working, enthusiastic, and genuinely friendly as Leon & Connie Collins. And where else but at Collins Real Estate would you find Realtors who really cared about your individual housing needs and financial situation? Leon and Connie helped us find our dream house. Then they helped us sell our former home within exactly three weeks from the day it went on the market. During this time an average of one family per day was shown our house due to their excellent advertising system. One day our house was shown three times! Leon and Connie also did everything they could to make sure each stage of buying and selling our houses progressed smoothly. And, oh yes, they now live in the same community as we do, and have become our dear friends. How's that for a happy ending? -Ken & Kathy Rissmann, Byron, GA

Homes.com Review

Once we contacted you about listing our home For Sale in Byron and the two of you came to our home to talk to us, we had the feeling the four of us had been friends for years. Selling a home can be one of the most stressful experiences a couple can go through. Your warm and personal, yet very professional attention to every detail, made selling our home a walk in the park. As we all go through life we meet many people as a result of business dealings. Some we wish we could forget, others are just that - business contacts; but both of you are that rare type of people we want to remember as real friends. Thank you so much for brightening our lives. May God bless both of you. Sincerely, Bill & Debbie Atkins
