Leftwich Properties

Leftwich Properties did not burst on the scene. Its birth as an entity in this city was more like a pop-up on the screen. It began in 1961 when J B Leftwich bought a single-family dwelling to rent and to supplement his income as a full time teacher and part-time newspaper journalist. It was a successful venture, and it evolved into a fleet of duplexes, apartment houses, single-family dwellings and commercial offices. Early in this venture, Glyn Ed Newton, his son-in-law, joined him, investing as a partner and bringing financial expertise to the operation. Later, Jack Leftwich, his son, became a partner in the acquisition of additional properties. Eventually, all members of the family were involved in the expansion of the business.
