Leslie Santilli

Jeff is extremely knowledgeable about the market and very professional. My purchase and closing was completed in a smooth and timely manner. I would highly recommend Jeff as your realtor and will use him again if I need or decide to purchase property in the future.

We have bought and sold more than 20 properties in and outside NC and Jeff's representation is the best we've experienced on either side of a real estate transaction, both as a listing agent and buyer representation. While deciding who to list with we interviewed highly rated brokers from all the agencies in Wilmington. Jeff was the most professional, knowledgeable, and prepared agent. He and his team did an excellent job of marketing our home and the house sold in a matter of days setting a sales record for that point in time. He was straightforward and provided honest input acting in our best interest. When it came time to buy, Jeff never failed to show any house we were interested in and always accommodated our requests for additional information on potential properties with a willing and positive attitude.

I am going to write this review and place it on all the platforms: If anybody gets a chance to use Jeff Lesley and his team for their real estate transactions, they have struck gold!! I have used Jeff on many occasions, and each time his customer service and business acumen have been above 100% !!! Jeff will listen to you and if there is any concern/problem, he will do his best to get it fixed. He is a creative problem solver who gets the job done. His staff reflects his work ethic, and you can trust anybody on the Jeff Lesley team!! I have moved out of Jeff’s area and even though I am happy with my move, it is something I am very sad about. Jeff is truly THE BEST Real estate agent I have ever known, and I have used many Realtors over my lifetime. You will not be disappointed!

Matt McMillan

If you are selling a property in the Wilmington NC area, especially on the Beaches, there is only ONE agent to consider. Jeff Lesley. He and his highly sought-after team are not only incredible listing agents, he is an amazing business person. As a business owner myself, I recommend him to everyone. You can trust Jeff completely with the sale of your real estate.
