Leon d'Ancona B.T.L, M.T.L is acknowledged as North America’s leading authority on statistical real estate intelligence. His knack for teaching Real Estate professionals how to earn more income through the use of statistical services is well known.
Leon’s unique ability to entertain while teaching has made him a popular speaker. Statistical analysis is generally not thought of as an entertaining subject, but in the hands of a master it becomes compelling. Over the past 26 years Leon has presented to over 21,250 people. Engaging, enlightening and entertaining at numerous Real Estate events and conferences.
There is only one thing that qualifies this humble man to speak to such crowds – RESULTS.
It all began in 1985 when Leon began a home renovating business in Toronto. Putting his own capital to work Leon would buy homes, renovate them and sell them at a profit. Not content to simply guess at which homes would bring the highest return in the shortest amount of time, Leon set out to optimize his opportunities.
The facts were that if it took longer than 78 days to sell, he would lose money. Suspecting that there was predictability in the housing market; Leon used the available data to predict short-term market trends. He used the same data to determine which segments of the real estate market were moving. He used data to help him select the right professionals to market his homes. Leon’s renovation and resale business thrived, at a time when others faltered.
The most amazing part of Leon’s story is WHY? Amazed to find that less than half of 1% (0.05%) of Brokers and agents use widely available real estate statistics, in their day to day operations.
What does he knows about Real Estate?
Leon’s strength has always been understanding market trends, that can be exploited. These “actionable niches” are sweet spots that allow listing and selling real estate professionals to make the right decisions to maximize profits.
After spending countless hours coaching real estate professionals on the finer points of statistical analysis, Leon went on to establish IMS Incorporated.
