Jeff's persistance and assistance over the full year of prep for getting the house to market -- it was beyond excellent. Highly, highly recommended.

Emily DeLuke and Gabby Ferguson were both professional, efficient, polite, clear, and easy to work with. A delight!

Always available; information and coaching always valuable and insightful.

There are so many realtors in Wilmington. Years ago I stumbled upon Jeff when I called about a house that had a C21 sign in the yard. He has sold / bought several houses now for me, family and friends. He is the most professional and knowledgeable realtor I know. I have never heard a negative comment about him from anyone who has used his services. I would highly recommend him to everyone I know. Jeff is simply the best at what he does.

Congrats! You need search no further! I can't say enough about how professional Jeff Lesley and his team truly are and how well they handled the sale of not only my home, but my family's home as well. In both instances, the homes had competing offers and went under contract within days of going on the market. Jeff Lesley and his team know exactly what they are doing and do it well. For as long as he remains in this business, he will always have my business.

I really believe that Jeff Lesley and his team of professionals are absolutely perfect! Jeff is kind and professional – two qualities that I believe to be rare when found together. He brings old-fashioned values and morals to the table, he shows a great deal of empathy towards his clients and their situations, and then he finishes it off with a thorough business acumen and Knowedge of the latest trends/technology. Jeff is the whole package and he deserves any success that comes his way! You will not be disappointed if you use Jeff Lesley and his team.

After using Jeff Lesley as our buyers agent in 2014 we knew we could count on him again as our sellers agent in 2017. As we unexpectedly had to sell our home after a short period of owning it Jeff made the process easy and helped to alleviate a very stressful situation.

Jeff Lesley is a very knowledgeable realtor and he did an excellent job of incorporating the team at Century 21 Sweyer & Associates to ensure that all of our questions were answered in a timely and professional manner.
