Born and raised in San Clemente, Joey Leisz has spent his life immersed in the coastal lifestyle he now helps clients call their own. With nearly a decade in real estate, he has guided buyers, sellers, and investors through every stage of the process, earning a reputation for clear communication, strong negotiation, and an eye for opportunity. His extensive experience with investment properties adds another layer of value, allowing clients to see beyond the surface and into the long-term potential of every home.
Before real estate, Joey served as Director of Marketing for a California-based art and apparel brand, collaborating with artists and athletes while leading design, events, and community partnerships. That creative foundation now informs his real estate practice, where he blends interior design insight with inventive marketing strategies to make every listing stand out. For buyers, this creativity translates into seeing possibilities where others may not. For sellers, it means presenting their homes with vision and precision. And for investors, it’s the ability to recognize both immediate value and future growth.
Clients describe Joey as approachable, attentive, and lightning-quick in communication—never letting a call or text go unanswered. He believes real estate is not just about transactions, but about listening carefully, understanding deeply, and guiding people to the place that feels like home. His goal is always to simplify the process, eliminate stress, and deliver results that align with each client’s goals.
As a proud second-generation local, Joey loves San Clemente’s small-town spirit, where a simple walk through town means running into neighbors and friends. Active in the community through Pacific Coast Church and the San Clemente Rotary, he carries forward the values of connection and service instilled in him growing up. When he’s not working, Joey can be found surfing, golfing, or enjoying family time with his wife, Sydney, and their children, Wren and Reid.
Rooted locally, creative at heart, and committed to excellence, Joey brings a unique perspective to Inhabit Collective—helping possibility become reality for buyers, sellers, and investors alike.
