Leon Auguste
Managing Director of SPHYNX Properties and a hands-on realtor in Accra, Leon combines on-site construction, building maintenance and moving experience with calm, systems-driven leadership.
For more than a decade, Leon has been inside the homes, compounds and gated communities of Accra – not just as an observer, but working on projects and moves himself. That on-field knowledge of neighbourhood strengths, weaknesses and tenant reactions is what he brings to every conversation as a realtor and advisor.
Leon Auguste, Managing Director at SPHYNX Properties, representing the modern, systems-driven face of the firm’s realtor and advisory work in Accra.
A modern operator with practical depth
Before boardrooms and strategy meetings, Leon spent years on construction sites, building maintenance projects and relocation jobs across Accra. He has supervised repairs, coordinated contractors and physically managed moves into and out of apartments, townhomes and gated communities.
That work has taken him repeatedly through Airport Residential, Cantonments, East Airport, East Legon and other prime areas. As a realtor, he understands not only how the properties look in photographs, but how they actually feel to live in – the access, traffic, noise levels, property management quality, service charges and the small things tenants quietly talk about after they move in.
Clients and developers value Leon because he talks from lived experience, not theory. When he advises on a community or a street, it is often because he has already been there with movers, electricians, cleaners and families, seeing first-hand what works and what causes frustration.
On the ground in Accra’s gated communities
This is where Leon is most comfortable – on a balcony during a move, in a lift with boxes, or walking through service corridors with contractors. As both a mover and realtor, he sees the parts of developments that rarely appear in brochures, but matter deeply for day-to-day living.
That constant exposure to real moves, real families and real maintenance issues is what gives his advice weight when clients are comparing gated communities or deciding whether to renew a tenancy.
Managing Director, SPHYNX Properties
As Managing Director, Leon oversees the day-to-day running of SPHYNX and leads its realtor team. His decisions are grounded in what he has personally observed inside homes and gated communities, not just in reports or spreadsheets.
- Leading the SPHYNX realtor and support team
- Designing systems and workflows around real client journeys
- Using moving and maintenance data to guide neighbourhood advice
- Co-ordinating with developers and professional partners
- Ensuring that Sphynx Vision Values are lived, not just written
When Leon recommends a development, he is thinking like a realtor, a project lead and a future tenant at the same time – balancing presentation, practicality and long-term comfort.
Founder of the AA+ Group (in development)
Leon is the founder of the developing AA+ Group – a growing service platform designed to bring first-class standards to moving, property and lifestyle support in Ghana.
Its flagship pilot brand, AA+ Movers, is already recognised for professional relocation services in Accra and beyond. Through AA+ Movers, Leon and his team visit many of the city’s best-known gated communities repeatedly, giving him up-to-date insight into how residents actually experience them.
This continuous feedback loop between moves, maintenance and agency work is what makes Leon such a valuable realtor for clients who want an honest picture of what to expect before they commit.
Style, Background & Perspective
Leon’s background in Electrical & Electronic Engineering from the United Kingdom gave him a strong analytical and systems mindset. His construction and building maintenance projects in Ghana taught him how buildings age, what corners should never be cut and which technical details matter for comfort and safety.
Combined with years of relocation work and estate agency experience, he now approaches each brief as a practical, client-focused realtor: clear about risks, realistic about budgets and honest about where a property shines or falls short.
A leadership shaped by mentorship
Leon’s professional journey has also been strengthened by mentorship from his father, Edmund Lawrence Auguste, one of Ghana’s most respected valuation and estate professionals. This provides an extra layer of depth around valuation, documentation and ethics.
The foundation Edmund provided is important, but Leon’s standing as a realtor in Accra comes from his own work: the sites he has walked, the moves he has managed and the families he has helped settle.
What Leon Values
Leon’s leadership is guided by a clear personal code: respect, humility, transparency, consistency and genuine care for people. He believes success is measured not only in transactions closed, but in the peace of mind clients feel long after the contracts are signed.
- Respect and clear, honest communication
- Steady, organised delivery — no last-minute chaos
- Discretion and professionalism at all times
- Long-term thinking for families, investors and partners
