Ratings & Reviews

Jennifer Horrell

I would recommend Jeff Lesley to everyone! We chose him because he sold a home for us in 2013 when no one else could and got us a cash offer in just a few weeks. In 2021 we sold another house with Jeff and he got us top dollar and helped us in our search for another home which we love and worked for us to get everything we needed in purchase. He and his team are full service realty company- they are thorough, always accessible and so so helpful and work out ahead for you on both buying and selling! I will use them again & again!

I’ve bought and sold 15 houses and Jeff was by far one of the most professional agents I’ve ever used. This is not a hobby or 2nd career for Jeff. It’s a business and I appreciate that in a business transaction. So often agents are reluctant to give it to you straight but Jeff does in a professional and courteous way. Basically you’re paying him for his advice. Take it.

As a custom builder we needed a professional to advertise and get our projects out to the right people. Jeff and his team were absolutely amazing finding clients and pushing our projects through the market. We could not be happier with his staff and Jeff himself. Nick-Shelter Rock Builders.

I have nothing but praise for Jeff Lesley and his team. I have worked with them on two occasions, both buying and selling a home. I have found Jeff and his team to be outstanding in their knowledge and professionalism each time. I first worked with Jeff back in 2019 after he was recommended to me by a friend. Jeff and I discussed what type of home that I was looking to purchase. After touring several houses over a week or two, a new one became available. We immediately toured the house and I submitted a successful offer that evening. I love the home and I couldn't be happier with it. One year later, I needed to sell another house that I owned. Without question, I turned to Jeff and his team to get this done. Within a short period of time, he sold that house and got me a good price for it. I never doubted for a second that he would. I would never even consider using any other realtor than Jeff in the future. He is simply the best in the real estate business.
