Leigh Brown, a licensed auctioneer, spoke at the Richmond Association of REALTORS® TRENDS event held in Richmond, Virginia, on October 4, 2023.
TRENDS is the kind of afternoon a metro association builds for its members, a working session on where the market is headed, followed by a cocktail reception where the real conversations happen. Leigh fits that room cleanly: straight talk on the numbers and what agents actually do about them, then time to stand around and talk to people like a neighbor rather than a headliner. A metro board like Richmond's isn't a warm-up act on the way to the big stages; it's where this business really lives, and she treats it that way. That is the register she brings, plain, useful, and built for the room in front of her. Associations can start a speaker conversation to bring it to their own event.
