Tni LeBlanc’s family has lived on the central coast
for over 20 years. In fact, she was
born in Santa Barbara County. The family returned in 1986 to
open a restaurant in the Santa Maria Town Center, and consequently witnessed the tremendous growth that
has taken place in this valley in the last 20 years. Tni attended local schools and began her college education right here at Allan Hancock College in Santa Maria. In 1992, she moved to Atlanta, Georgia to pursue her Bachelor of Arts degree from Clark Atlanta University, which she received, summa cum laude, in 1995.
Subsequently, Tni obtained a law degree and a Master of Arts in philosophy from Georgetown University. After graduation, she began practicing law in Washington D.C., with one of the nation’s largest law firms, but always had her eye on returning to California. preparation for that, she took and passed the California Bar on her first sitting. In 2000, she was nominated for and received
a "Distinguished Alumni Award” from her alma mater, Allan Hancock College. After a few years of working
for Fortune 500 clients, Tni made the move back to
the Santa Maria Valley. Soon after her return in 2002, she obtained
her broker’s license, and began her transition from attorney to real estate broker. In
order to solidify
her training, Tni initially chose to
work with one the largest local real estate firms,
and then later with an independent broker here
on the central coast. Later, she branched off to
create her own brokerage, Mint Properties.
In July 2006, Mint Properties opened an office in the Mission Creek Plaza on
Santa Maria Way . Tni’s stated aim is to offer the highest quality representation and professional service to her clients. Independence affords her the ability to avoid a
volume driven approach; the result is prompt, reliable, individualized service coupled
with straightforward advice. Indeed, she brings the same level of professionalism |
| |
|
to real estate as she did to the law. Her clients range |
|
|
from sophisticated long
term real estate investors to first time buyers. And
the diversity of services offered by Mint Properties reflects her legal background; she handles all manner of real estate transactions from commercial leasing to probate sales and purchases.
Tni maintains her commitment to and involvement
with the local legal community by serving as a board member for the Legal Aid Society of Santa Barbara County, and has pledged to make a donation to that organization upon each real estate closing. Legal Aid is committed to providing access to the legal system
to victims of domestic violence, elder abuse, and housing discrimination. In support of the local business community, Mint Properties joined and is
a proud member of the Santa Maria Valley Chamber Commerce. In her spare time, Tni enjoys classical singing, ballroom dancing, and has begun a love
affair with all things Italian. She just became the proud owner of the best little dog in the world, a Pomeranian named CocoPuff. |
