Daci is a second generation REALTOR® and is excited to be part of Tina Leonard Real Estate, LLC and continue the legacy her mother began.
Daci spent many years accompanying her mother to real estate showings around the Adirondacks. It was through those experiences and discussing real estate with her mother weekly for as long as she can remember, that Daci knew she would eventually become a licensed real estate salesperson when the time was right.
As a full-time Realtor and business owner, Daci is thrilled to have the opportunity to bring her vast background in negotiations, quality reviews and critical thinking to further serve current and future clients of Tina Leonard Real Estate, LLC. If you have a unique property in the Adirondacks that you are interested in listing, give Daci a call!
As a Lake Placid native, Daci graduated from Lake Placid Central School District and pursued her Bachelor’s degree at Plattsburgh State University. She moved to the Capital District area, where she was a quality analyst for FEMA Funded Crisis Counseling program through the New York State Office of Mental Health that provided counseling and outreach for those directly affected by 9/11/01. This position brought her to live in Schenectady County where she stayed after her tenure was completed.
For almost two decades she had a career in the claims side of the Insurance industry. Most recently, Daci worked for a nationally recognized Insurance Company as a Claims QA Consultant where she completed reviews for accuracy of financial reserving and facilitated new hire training within the Casualty Claims department.
Daci also brings experience as an appointed member of the Niskayuna Planning Board since 2017. As a Planning Board member, Daci is experienced in reviewing site plan applications, legal codes and listening to all points of view when acting with the board to make a decision based on facts and code. Daci also enjoys participating in training annually to stay current in the newest case laws and planning matters across New York State.
Daci has always found that the Capital District being less than a 2 ½ hour drive to Lake Placid enables her to drive ‘home’ for dinner or a special event with family members at a moment’s notice. Daci and her husband Michael split their time between Niskayuna and their home in Lake Placid along with their two Shiloh Shepherds.

Tina Leonard (Founder)
(03/18/1958 – 09/26/2021)
Former Real Estate Broker & Owner
Tina Leonard, former Broker/Owner of Tina Leonard Real Estate started Tina Leonard Real Estate in June of 2016. With nearly 3 decades of experience as a full-time REALTOR and a majority of that time being a long-term rental Agent in the area, she realized that it was time to start her own business. Her experience as an Office Manager, Property Manager, and Lic. Assoc. Broker allowed her to accumulate extensive knowledge in the many aspects of the Real Estate Industry throughout her career. Life changed when she lost most of her sight due to complications of Glaucoma in 2013. She realized that losing her sight gave her brighter visions of life and higher expectations for herself. She knew that she had the knowledge and support to continue a successful real estate career. She always had a passion and dedication to help everyone find a home that fit their needs, whether it was renting a one-room $400 a month apartment, buying that dream home, or buying that first home with no money down, She was the dedicated REALTOR that you would want working for you.
She was a native of Lake Placid and had always been active in the Community. One of her Clients said, “Every time we mentioned your name in the Village the people we were talking to knew you and spoke highly of you. It was great!”
Tina had been involved or volunteered in several local organizations. She served as President of the Shipman Youth Center, the Gold Medal BNI Chapter, Rotary Club of Lake Placid, and the Northern Adirondack Board of Realtors. Tina also served in various other positions within those organizations and had received the honor of many awards to acknowledge her dedication to the community. “I was honored by the local Realtors when I was voted for and received recognition as “Realtor of the Year” in 2002.”
