“We had a great experience using Jeff Lesley and his team for the purchase of our prior home in Carolina Beach, so we did not hesitate in working with them again for this home. Jeff and his team were responsive to our request, on short notice, to view this home, to expeditously arrange for the required due diligence, and to prepare and execute all of the necessary documentation. Jeff and his team have also assisted us with post-closing matters, such as identifying maintenance vendors and renovation contractors. We would definitely recommend Jeff and his team to our friends and family.”

He was informative and knowledgeable about our area and the challenges we were facing with the condiiton of the home. He was in line with our thoughts and pricing which proved to be beneficial to all. Anthony maintained constant communicatoins with us throughout the process and made this difficult endeavor as smooth as possible.
