Ratings & Reviews

Sarah Thompson

Jeff Lesley is the "go to" guy to sell your home. Our house had some issues, Jeff gave us referrals to get it sales ready. He was with us all the way. Were we to list another house we would certainly list it with Jeff.

Keith Logsdon

Jeff Lesley and his associates helped us with anything we needed. His real estate knowledge is a great asset in completing your mission to find the right home. I would not hesitate to use him again for my real estate needs.

Terry Biehl

When I met Jeff I was new to the area. I found a piece of land to purchase and Jeff helped me get through that process. He told me the price was great, the area it was in was safe and he came to the closing with me. Jeff passed all updates to me accordingly. Smooth closing! I found a contractor to build my new home. It was very trying at times but I was in contact with the contractor to make sure things were on schedule. The house took a little longer to build but that was why I stayed involved during the entire process. Jeff did contact me a few times and asked if there was anything I needed him to help me with. Again, Jeff came to the closing with me and I very much appreciated his assistance. I would recommend Jeff Lesley as a realtor to anyone.

A good friend recommended Jeff to my wife & I. Jeff is very professional and very passionate about real estate. Jeff and his team (Ashli, Brenna and Hannah) made all our real estate transactions whether for our house or our property run smoothly. There are so many things that Jeff did for us, Before we sold our house he gave suggestions from pricing to paint schemes. Jeff’s suggestions were spot on - house was sold in less than a week. Five years later (2022-2023) we wanted to sell some property - who did we call JEFF of course! We told him a certain price. He researched the area and gave us some suggestions. The property was sold within a month. We would recommend Jeff Lesley to anyone wanting to sell a house or property.

Jeff Lesley is amazing. Our daughter in law had a great experience with him and referred us to him. We looked at many, many homes with Jeff. He is so patient. Never pushes you. He was upfront about the homes we saw. If he saw a problem or issue with a home, he drew it to our attention. Disappointed we were flying out of town the next morning. Surprisingly, at the end of the day, we found a home in which we were interested. It had literally just popped up on the listings. We called Jeff after hours. Knowing we would be on a plane the next day, he stopped what he was doing and was able to get a viewing of the home that night. We saw the home at 8pm that evening. Immediately Jeff put a bid in for us. By 10:30 that evening our bid was accepted. Thanks to Jeff communicating back and forth with the other realtor that night. If he had not acted so quickly, we would not have our home. We are so happy with our home. Jeff does not waste time - thank you, Jeff!
