Ratings & Reviews

Michael Steck

We have partnered with Jeff multiple times over the past 5 years and he's always gotten top dollar for our properties through analysis/ negotiations. If you are looking for a realtor that knows the current markets and trends Jeff is your realtor. 4 deals completed and we've come out ahead everytime whether buying or selling. Jeff takes his time to understand the markets and does a comprehensive analysis of your home whether buying or selling. I plan to partner with Jeff in the future.

Michael Rush

I contacted Jeff to sell my condo at Kure Beach. Jeff strategically priced the property to receive multipe offers in just a few days selling for more than $20,000 over the listing price. When processing the contract Jeff and his team walked me through the entire process. Jeff and his team were very detailed and always available with any questions I had. Jeff returned phone calls and texts quickly. I live out of state and Jeff and his team set up everything for me from listing to contract to settlement. I would highly recommend Jeff Lesley and his team to anyone looking to sell or purchase a property. A true professional with proven results.

Laurie Lindsay

Jeff was a great agent for us. He and his team were always readily available whenever we needed to talk, and quick to follow up with interested buyers. We sold our house during a time when the market was very slow and inventory was high. We previously had our house listed with another agent with no success, and were prepared to take it off the market to rent. We decided to go with Jeff and if we didn’t sell within 90 days we would move to rent. He sold it in less than 90 days and got us a good deal we were very happy with. We always recommend Jeff to anyone looking for an agent. He is professional and knowledgeable, and has a very dedicated and dependable staff.

Charles Medlin

Jeff is hands down the best realtor I have ever worked with. We moved to Wilmington from Charlotte and him and his team did so much work before our multiple visits for showings that it made the process incredibly easy and we are truly living in our dream home now. In short, I would never let any friend or family member use anyone else but Jeff Lesley.

Merla Jansen

In 2012 my husband and I bought a house and Jeff Lesley was our realtor. We searched for months before buying and Jeff always did his homework in telling us the pros and cons of each house. He took an invested interest in our well being when purchasing the right house for us. Jeff also help sell our house 10 years later. I couldn't have asked for a better person to work with. He always did what he said he was going to do. He made both buying and selling our first house an easy process. I highly recommend him if you are looking to buy or sell. You won't go wrong.
