Thirty years of repeat clients and referrals.

What these reviews have in common

The recurring theme

Several reviewers came to Leatherman Homes after a listing had stalled with another broker, sometimes for a year or more.

The harder transactions

Co-op apartments, estate sales, and simultaneous buy-and-sell timelines appear repeatedly, not just routine single-family deals.

The repeat pattern

More than one reviewer notes a second or third transaction with the same broker, the clearest signal a client got what they needed the first time.

Reviews below are real client testimonials, curated and grouped by theme. Each one shows the reviewer's Zillow username (or name) and is marked "Verified Zillow review," so you can confirm it at the source. Data last verified June 2026.

When the last agent stalled

The most common reason a seller switches brokers is a listing that has gone quiet. These reviewers describe exactly that, and what changed after the move.

"After having my home listed with another broker for a year, I went with Kevin — he sold my home in three months."— MPassalacqua · Verified Zillow review

"My office suite was on the market for three years when I decided to change realtors and hire Kevin. Professional from start to finish."— rayspyd · Verified Zillow review

"I went through more than ten other realtors in ten months before finding Kevin, and knew right away he was the real deal."— user23261187 · Verified Zillow review

"He priced our home well. It sold quickly."— jchen9052 · Verified Zillow review

Co-op, estate, and complex sales

Co-op and estate transactions carry board approvals, share certificates, and timelines that a routine house sale does not. These reviews speak to that kind of work — the same work covered in the selling a co-op and buying a co-op guides.

"Kevin Leatherman was our broker on the sale of a co-op apartment in Rockville Centre — our property sold for more than the asking price."— lynnviv, Rockville Centre · Verified Zillow review

"He helped me buy a wonderful co-op in Garden City. We could not have done it without Kevin."— Frank1307, Garden City · Verified Zillow review

"Kevin and his team coordinated the sale of our co-op and a parent's house while buying our new home, all at the same time."— ericface1 · Verified Zillow review

"I had a complicated sale, and Kevin and his assistant went above and beyond to resolve every issue."— Ann A. · Verified Zillow review

Sellers and repeat clients

The reviews that tell you the most are the ones from people who came back. A second transaction is the part of the record that a first-time pitch cannot manufacture.

"He sold our house in one month. We have worked with him more than once."— zuser20151108191939892 · Verified Zillow review

"Completely professional, exceeded our expectations, and got a price on our home higher than anticipated."— kwm9012 · Verified Zillow review

"We've used Kevin before and decided to use him a second time. Easy to work with, knowledgeable, and responsive."— janelesser · Verified Zillow review

"Kevin made the experience of buying a home as stressless as possible. Extremely patient and knowledgeable."— user5818895 · Verified Zillow review

Questions buyers and sellers ask about these reviews

Are these reviews real, and where do they come from?

Yes. Each quote is from a real Leatherman Homes client. Every review shows the reviewer's Zillow username (or name) and is marked "Verified Zillow review," so you can trace it back to the source. The selection is curated to show the range of work, not a complete list of every transaction since 1996.

What kinds of clients does Leatherman Homes work with most?

The reviews cluster around three situations: sellers whose listing stalled with another broker, buyers and sellers of co-op and estate properties, and repeat clients on a second or third transaction. The brokerage handles routine single-family sales as well, but those harder situations are where the record is most distinctive.

Why do so many reviewers mention switching from another agent?

A stalled listing is the most common reason a seller changes brokers, and several reviewers describe exactly that — a home or office that sat on the market for a year or more before the move. The pattern is worth noting because re-listing a property that has gone quiet is a different problem from listing a fresh one.

Does the team handle co-op and estate sales, not just houses?

Yes, and the reviews reflect it. Co-op apartments carry board approval and share-certificate steps a house sale does not, and estate sales add their own timeline. Several reviews describe co-op sales in Rockville Centre and Garden City and a simultaneous buy-and-sell coordinated at once. The buying a co-op and selling a co-op guides go deeper on the process.

How do I work with Kevin Leatherman or the team?

Start with a conversation about your situation — buying, selling, or both. You can read more about Kevin Leatherman and the team, request a home value estimate if you are selling, or contact the office directly. The brokerage works out of 25 S Village Ave in Rockville Centre.

Talk to a broker who has done this before

If your situation looks like one of these — a stalled listing, a co-op or estate sale, or a move where you are buying and selling at once — that is the work this record is built on.
