LeRoy was born in Hopewell, Virginia and is the only child of Lucille and Roy Houser.  His parents owned and operated a family restaurant so it is safe to say that he was born in business, and has been in business all of his life.

After completing his undergraduate studies at Virginia Tech, LeRoy was a high school vocational education teacher and a football coach for several years, and it was during that time that he received his master’s degree in education from VCU in Richmond, Virginia.

He began his real estate career in 1972, and since that time he has owned his own company, has been a top salesman, has conducted seminars for hundreds of organizations, and has taught literally thousands of REALTORS throughout the United States and several foreign countries.  Training and business was not something that he came into accidentally, but instead it is a career that he has pursued since childhood.  Real estate selling and training have been his professional life.

LeRoy is a senior instructor with the Council of Residential Sales (CRS), and a GRI instructor in several states.  In addition to his own training business, he has been a broker and trainer for Long & Foster REALTORS in Richmond, Virginia since 1985.

LeRoy and Carolyn have been married for more than 35 years and they live in Chesterfield, Virginia.  They have two grown children, Shelly and Eric, and four grandchildren.  Carolyn is also a REALTOR with Long & Foster. Real estate is truly a family tradition in the Houser family.
