Putting Our Experience To Work For You

Leigh Schiff

An Atlanta native, Leigh Schiff has established herself as one of the area’s top producing agents, achieving close to $500 Million in sales during her 20+ years in real estate.

Known for delivering a high level of service for all her clients, whether they are selling a Midtown condo, bungalow in Decatur or a multimilliondollar estate, Leigh takes great pride in getting to know each of her clients on a personal level. Her relationship-based philosophy, deep understanding of the local market and passion for helping people achieve their goals has created a strong and loyal network of clients.

Leigh’s successful career began on the other side of the closing table while working with a real estate attorney, experience she and her clients find invaluable. In addition, Leigh was one of the charter members of her previous brokerage where she was also involved in establishing the company’s luxury homes division.

Leigh formed the Schiff Real Estate Team in 2006 with her husband Michael to provide a more personalized real estate experience. The team’s commitment to exceeding expectations is evident in the successful long-term relationships they’ve established, and by the fact that much of their growing business comes from the referrals of their happy clients.

Passionate about giving back to the Atlanta community, Leigh takes an active role in working with a variety of local charities including with Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta, Habitat for Humanity and Give Back Homes.

As a graduate of Towson University and resident of Sandy Springs, Leigh is an avid hunter/jumper equestrian, and enjoys traveling, spending time with her family and supporting her two daughters in their NYO sports activities.

Michael Schiff

With over a decade of success in the Atlanta real estate market, Michael Schiff has helped thousands of clients achieve their dreams of homeownership. Michael’s philosophy is simple – he treats each client as if they were his only client and he strives to make the home buying process more enjoyable and stress-free.

Before launching his career in real estate, Michael enjoyed success in minor league sports management, and ran his family’s textile business in Cartersville. With this strong foundation in negotiating, sales and marketing, it’s no wonder Michael experienced immediate success in real estate, earning the Southeast Region Rookie of the Year award from his brokerage at the time.

Michael and his wife Leigh formed the Schiff Real Estate Team in 2006 to provide a higher level of service and personal attention for their clients. The team’s commitment to exceeding expectations is evident in the successful long-term relationships they’ve established, and by the fact that much of their growing business comes from the referrals of their happy clients.

Giving back to the area where he lives and works is a priority for Michael. He serves on the Board of Directors for Most Valuable Kids of Atlanta and supports a variety of local charities including Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta, Habitat for Humanity and Give Back Homes.

A graduate of the University of Michigan, Michael is an avid Wolverine fan and enjoys playing golf, ice hockey and traveling with Leigh and their two daughters.
