Ken DeLeon is the founder and visionary behind DeLeon Realty. Ken is a real estate rockstar - it took him less than ten years to skyrocket from a brand new agent to one of the country’s best and most successful, with over $275 million in sales in 2011 alone. In June 2012, The Wall Street Journal and Real Trends, Inc. announced that Ken DeLeon was the nation’s #1 real estate agent out of over 1.2 million agents, the only agent in Silicon Valley to ever be ranked the nation’s top agent. In Ken’s 43 years, he has seen more challenges in his personal life than most people. His only sister died in his arms when they were both teenagers; a drugged-up driver going 45 mph plowed into him, leaving him nearly dead on the side of the road; he was diagnosed with and overcame cancer. These challenges taught him to live each day to its max. Ken takes great pleasure in spending time with his four children, playing with them, and teaching them life’s values. When Ken is not with his kids, he enjoys spending time with friends, and of course, his favorite activity, dancing.
