Leon Dienes

Leon Dienes was born in Albany, California, and migrated to San Diego in 1991 to attend San Diego State University. After graduating with a degree in Political Science, Leon fell into the advertising profession and went to work for a large, Chicago-based event marketing firm whose clients included Budweiser & Philip Morris. Over the years, he ran several marketing programs for them in San Diego and the entire West Coast.

Shortly after purchasing his first home in Clairemont in 1999, Leon caught the renovation bug. Remodeling his house quickly became one of his favorite hobbies. In 2004 he had an epiphany. If he was going to pursue a career in sales and marketing, it should be for a product that he was passionate about, such as houses. Leon earned his real estate sales license in 2005 and then in 2008, passed the brokers exam and opened his own company- Leon Dienes & Associates.
