About Lloyd & Tracy
Born and raised in Yuba City — serving the community they love since 1987.
The Leighton Family
A Family Built on Community
Lloyd and Tracy were married in May of 1981. Tracy is also a Realtor and they have had a lot of fun running the business and raising their two children together.
Besides real estate, Lloyd is passionate about politics and cycling. He is an active member and former chairman of the Sutter County Republican Central Committee. As a cyclist, his bicycle racing days are probably over after having suffered 28 fractures from various bicycle crashes — but he still rides almost daily, weather permitting, averaging 30+ miles per ride.
Tracy loves music and has been a member of the St. Isidore Catholic Church choir. She has also been a member of the Yuba Sutter Master Chorale since the early 1990's, currently serving as their Board President. She also enjoys gardening and decorating — bringing her decorating flair to the real estate business by assisting clients in staging their homes.
Lloyd, Tracy, Peter, Liz, James and Ethan are members of St. Isidore Catholic Church. Lloyd is a member of the St. Isidore Finance Council.
Son — Peter
Peter graduated from Embry Riddle Aeronautical University with a B.S. in aeronautical science and earned his commercial pilot's license. He is now a licensed electrician working for Tesla Inc., focused on installation of the Tesla Powerwall battery and new main electric panels.
Daughter — Liz
Liz graduated from Cal State Sacramento in three years with a B.S. in criminal justice. She has grown a part-time gardening business into a full-time venture offering landscape design, plant selection, pruning, weeding and more. She has two children, James (January 2012) and Ethan (February 2014).

Lloyd Leighton Sr. Consistent Service Award
I have nothing but great things to say about Lloyd and his wife, Tracy. They sold my home in four days and helped us get the home that we wanted. He followed up on all details above and beyond anything I expected. He has my highest recommendation.
