WHO WE ARE

Inverloch3996 @realty is a dynamic and innovative real estate partnership that continues to expand daily, revitalizing an industry that has remained stagnant for decades. The traditional model of agencies needing a physical storefront is a thing of the past. We recognize that the modern shopfront is online, so we’ve evolved to be mobile and tech-savvy, engaging deeply with our hyper-local audience.

Principal & Licensed Real Estate Agent

Winner of RateMyAgent's Agent of the Year for 2025, Leo Edwards brings a results-driven, digital-first approach to selling homes in Inverloch and the Bass Coast region.

After creating marketing campaigns for some of the world's largest real estate developments internationally, Leo made the sea change to Inverloch with his wife Janelle and son Alfie in 2014. He hasn't looked back.

Today, Leo's innovative marketing strategies reach over 30,000 people weekly through curated social audiences, ensuring your property gets maximum exposure to qualified buyers who either love, or would love to live in Inverloch.

Unlike traditional agents, Leo takes a data-driven approach to pricing and marketing.
