Leroy Steen

Leroy Steen is the owner of Rent-Buy LLC, an independent rent-to-own company based in Texas, and a passionate advocate for RTO fundamentals and people-first leadership. Leroy began his career in the industry in 1985 and has spent four decades at the top of every organization he has been part of. He has managed stores in Florida and Texas, and in 2008 became District Manager in San Angelo, Texas — taking a bottom 5% district to ranking 16 out of 374 districts within 12 months, earning a trip to Puerto Rico and a Caribbean cruise for his performance. After a company realignment, he turned another struggling district from 312th to 33rd in just five months. Leroy founded Rent-Buy to put his philosophy into practice: pair RTO fundamentals with motivated employees and the results are a win for everyone. He is a regular voice in the RTO community and an active presence at industry events.
