Originally established on the crossroads of ancient Native American paths in the center of Alabama, Leeds today spreads across three counties: Jefferson, Shelby, and St. Clair. Leeds is tucked into a landscape of rolling green hills and features spots with dense tree coverage, grassy fields and several winding waterways. “Leeds is a small city with a small-town feel,” says Andy Watkins, broker and owner of Bob Watkins Realty. “It’s surrounded by bigger cities, so you can get to shopping and restaurants in 10 minutes from any direction.”

After working in a successful career in Human Resources I decided to pursue my dream of becoming a real estate agent. This will be my 6th year in real estate. In 2022 and 2023 I was in the top 100 in sales within RealtySouth. For 10 months in 2023 I was top producer in my office. 2024 was another successful year. I enjoy helping people achieve their dreams and work very hard on relationship building with my clients. I am so thankful for all of the people that has contacted me over the past 6 years to help them. It would be my honor to help you!
