Acerca de Leigh Smith

I’ve never believed real estate is just about transactions. For me, it has always been about people, trust and helping guide important decisions with clarity, strategy and care. As the Founder of Leigh Smith Realty, I’ve built my business around a philosophy I call Different By Design. It’s a belief that how a property is presented, positioned and negotiated can completely influence the outcome and that clients deserve more than a process. They deserve a considered experience. With nearly two decades of experience across Australia and the UK, I bring both local insight and a broader global perspective to every client relationship. My journey has taken me from South Africa to the United Kingdom and ultimately to Western Australia’s Peel region, where I’ve become known for a refined, strategic and relationship driven approach to real estate. Before entering the property industry, my background included banking, IT, travel and publishing. Those experiences continue to shape the way I work today through structured thinking, attention to detail and the ability to navigate complex situations with calm confidence. I’ve never been focused on volume for the sake of it. I work intentionally and closely with my clients to ensure every property is marketed with purpose and every decision is backed by strategy, insight and care. Since aligning with eXp 3 years ago, I’ve been honoured with multiple eXp ICON awards and was named Global ICON Agent of the Year, recognition that reflects both performance and professionalism on an international stage. Beyond my own business, I remain deeply connected to the future of the industry. I currently serve as Luxury Ambassador for Australia & New Zealand, Ambassador for the Women’s Impact Network and as a representative on the International Agent Advisory Council. These roles keep me connected to global innovation, leadership and best practice which ultimately benefits the clients and agents I work alongside. At the heart of everything I do is a simple understanding: behind every property is a story, a transition and a new chapter. My role is to guide that journey with honesty, strength and genuine care so my clients feel informed, supported and confident every step of the way. If you’ve worked with me before, you’ll know it never feels like a transaction. If you haven’t yet, you may just notice the difference.
