Mr. Leeper started a real estate career in 1973 at the age of 20. By the age of 28, he owned real estate offices in West Covina, Covina, Baldwin Park and an Escrow Company in Covina. Primary responsibilities were to oversee the brokerage of SFRs, Condos, PUDs, and small income units. Mr. Leeper was involved in the training of appraisal and sales techniques to real estate agents and brokers.

He has been a member of both the National and California Association of Realtors for over 20 years. Mr. Leeper has been an active real estate investor, investing in SFRs and small income units in the San Gabriel Valley.

Mr. Leeper began formal training as an appraiser in 1986 with the successful completion of the SREA class 101 and 102. While engaged as an associate appraiser with George Leeper Appraisal Service, principal duties included appraising SFRs, PUDs, Condos and small income units plus desk/field reviews.

In January 1988, Mr. Leeper began operating as an independent fee appraiser known as "Leeper Appraisal Service".

The company has been well received by major Banks, Savings & Loans, Mortgage Companies and Credit Unions.

Mr. Leeper received the SRA designation from the Appraisal Institute on November 1, 1994. In December 1991 he was approved as a California State Certified Residential Appraiser.

In January 1992, Mr. Leeper was admitted to the state education faculty of the California Association of REALTORS. Mr. Leeper has authored curriculum for the Graduate Realtors Institute. The Institute is the designation (GRI) program for the California Association of Realtors. The class, "Pricing Properties for Sale", was approved for seven hours continuing education credits by the Department of Real Estate.

Working as an outside consultant for a national appraisal firm, Mr. Leeper developed and administered a network of review appraisers in 25 states.

In 2010, Mr. Leeper completed forensic reviews on appraisals of 26 multi-million dollar homes throughout Southern California.

Since July of 2010, a Wall St. hedge fund continues to retain Mr. Leeper as a consultant regarding market conditions for residential assets in California.
