Leland, NC - Jan 5, 2026

Jeff was excellent in achieving the sale of a large 58.3 acre family property in NC. I would recommend Jeff, his team and Century 21 to anyone wanting to sell property. He was able to manage and negotiate all aspects of this sale I thank his entire team.

While the sale took longer than we wanted (due to the market) we were happy with Jeff and his team. Would use them again in a heartbeat. Trustworthy and extremely knowledgeable

Jeff Lesley and his team were outstanding to work with from start to finish. He helped us both sell our home and buy a new one, and the entire process was smooth, efficient, and far less stressful thanks to his expertise. Jeff is extremely knowledgeable, responsive, and always had our best interests in mind. He guided us through every step, provided honest advice, and was proactive in handling details we didn’t even think about. We felt confident and well taken care of throughout the process. We would highly recommend Jeff to anyone looking to buy or sell a home — Jeff and his team truly go above and beyond.

Jeff Lesley and his team worked together to make the experience of selling the family farm in NC smooth and stress free from the start to finish. We live out of state but that was not a problem, communication was always open between Jeff's team and us. Jeff Lesley alway took the time to answer our many questions and provided valuable suggestions. We would highly recommend Jeff Lesley and team to anybody selling or buying property of any sort.
