Why we recommend David Leonard for Fairfield
Fairfield is a split market. Zillow's typical home value in September 2026 was $532,198 in ZIP 94533 and $687,848 in 94534, and Redfin's three-month figures to September 2026 show homes in 94534 selling in a median 37 days against 44 in 94533. Older homes in 94533 may need work before a sale, while the newer subdivisions compete with builder incentives at One Lake and The Villages.
David Leonard's practice fits both sides of that split. His website lists Solano County among the counties he covers and publishes a 2026 buyer's guide for Fairfield, and his "Better is Better" page offers sellers remodeling, staging and inspection services. That combination of local coverage and a pre-sale renovation option is the reason he is our recommendation for this page. It is our recommendation, not a ranking of every Fairfield agent.
About David Leonard
David Leonard's background in Solano County
His team's About page says Dave's own life is divided between Solano County, Valley and Laidley streets in San Francisco, and New York City. His office address is 118 Mountview Terrace in Benicia, another Solano County city. He works with a small team under the name The Leonard Group on his website.
Brokerage and California DRE license for David Leonard
The California Department of Real Estate public lookup, checked October 30, 2026, lists David Douglas Leonard, license 01928987, as a licensed salesperson first issued on June 26, 2013, expiring June 25, 2029, with no disciplinary action. His responsible broker is Fathom Realty Group Inc. (broker license 01901202).

Areas David Leonard covers
His website lists Alameda, Contra Costa, Marin, Napa, San Francisco, Solano, Sonoma, San Mateo and Santa Clara counties. For Fairfield buyers, that range means he can compare a Fairfield home with what the same budget buys in Benicia, Vallejo or Contra Costa County.
David Leonard's record: sales and reviews
According to figures supplied by his office, he has completed over 340 transactions worth more than $238 million in his career and closed 16 transaction sides worth over $10 million in the past 12 months. His office also reports that he was in the top 10% of Coldwell Banker agents nationwide. We could not confirm those totals on an independent public page, so treat them as his own figures and ask him for a list of recent Solano County closings.
His website's reviews page publishes client testimonials. One from Deborah G. Blue Ph.D. and Stan R. Arterberry, who sold a home in Vallejo while living in Arizona, reads in part: "we received an offer the first day the house was on the market and it was sold in less than 30 days and closed within 45 days." Another, from a first-time buyer named Melina Smith, reads: "From the “just looking” phase, to closing on a beautiful home, David was always just a phone call away to answer my questions with a wealth of knowledge, sincerity, and professionalism." Both are quoted word for word from his reviews page.
How David Leonard works with Fairfield buyers and sellers
Selling in Fairfield with David Leonard
His Better is Better page lists remodeling services for sellers covering design, paint, floors, windows and whole kitchens or baths, with "pay nothing until you close" and a footnote limiting that to one year. It also lists staging and inspection services. In Fairfield, where Redfin's median sale price fell 5.6% in a year to $599,714 in the three months to September 2026 and 28.7% of homes still sold above list, condition is often what separates those two groups. Ask him for the cost and terms of any renovation plan in writing before you sign.
Buying in Fairfield with David Leonard
For buyers, the same page lists rate buydowns, a private search platform and an investment strategy service. In Fairfield, ask him to compare a resale home with builder incentives at One Lake or The Villages, and to check which school district and tax rate area a home falls in before you write the offer.
