Kevin Leatherman is a distinguished Real Estate Broker dedicated to the Long Island real estate market. As the 2024 Long Island Board of Realtors President, he leads a trade association representing approximately 30,000 members, underscoring his commitment to the industry. His recognition as the 'Broker of the Year' by the Long Island Board of Realtors in 2020 further highlights his expertise and contributions.

With Accredited Buyer Representative (ABR) credentials, Kevin is an invaluable consumer asset. He actively shares his knowledge with competitors to enhance the real estate market in Nassau, Suffolk, and Queens. Known as a leader in Buyer Brokerage, he has over 15 years of experience advocating for fair and equal representation through signed Exclusive Buyer Representation Agreements with negotiated compensation.

Kevin and attorney Ken Keith pioneered a business model that includes a clause in written exclusive buyer representation agreements, ensuring that if a seller fails to pay, they are liable for broker attorney fees in collecting payment. This approach positions him as a pioneer in Buyer Brokerage, focusing on buyer representation in a market traditionally dominated by seller advocacy. His negotiation skills, extensive referral network, and commitment to communication ensure smooth, client-focused transactions.

Previously, Kevin served as the 2013 President of the Multiple Listing Service of Long Island (now OneKey MLS), where his advocacy for buyers earned him a reputation as a formidable force. His leadership extends to roles as a board member of the National Association of Realtors and the New York State Association of Realtors.

Kevin was raised in Commack and graduated from Hofstra University. After a successful career in foreign exchange trading on Wall Street, he transitioned to real estate and earned his broker’s license from New York University.

As a lifelong resident of Long Island, I am well-versed and confident in brokering deals with buyers and sellers in Nassau County, from the Gold Coast Communities of the North Shore to the South Shore Communities fronting the Atlantic Ocean. I also offer a unique familiarity with Western Suffolk County and Eastern Queens.
