Silicon Valley Real Estate | JLee Realty
My personal goal is to deliver unprecedented opportunity and value to my customers. I strive to provide outstanding customer service, and a low stress, enjoyable, and rewarding real estate experience.
Shortly after joining Keller Williams in Palo Alto I served as a member of their leadership council, helping to guide the office towards becoming the most successful real estate office in Palo Alto. Prior to joining Keller Williams, I had, for many years, been a member of Coldwell Banker's International President's Elite, which is their top designation given to the top 2% of their agents. Before Coldwell Banker bought Cornish and Carey I was an Associate Vice President. Skipping quite far back to show my long history, I was the #1 Listing agent at Cornish & Carey for both 1996 and 1995. In 1994, I was in the top 15% of all C&C agents as measured by total commissions earned. In 1993, I was in the top 10%. During 1992, at my former office, I was the #1 Producing and #1 Listing agent; and in 1991, I was their #1 Selling agent.
I have been licensed since 1983, and have been an active Bay Area realtor for over two decades. My results have placed me among the top realtors for well over a decade.
I hold both a Masters in Business Administration and a Law degree. Professionally I have earned my Certified Residential Specialist Certification, which is the highest certification level within the real estate profession.
I have a team working for me. Some of my members have been working for me for many years. My team members provide both expertise in specific areas and free up my time to manage and guide all aspects of your sale/purchase. I negotiate nearly all purchase offers for my team.
Many years ago I hired a computer consultant. Together we created a highly automated system for managing information. I am able to match homes and clients better than most real estate companies. My system provides important information and timely notification through all phases of buying and selling a home. Closing escrow is an important part of any sale. My system automatically handles all of the routine steps freeing both myself and my team to watch for any issues and resolve them before they become problems. Improvements have been constantly made to build my experience into my system.
Personal goals and motivation sets real estate agents apart. From a very early age my father's law practice, which included being a judge, encouraged me and provided guidance to both excel and to be on a stage in front of many people. These traits are a basic part of me. I was recently (Jan 2012) asked to provide a short inspirational speech to a local association of realtors. My speech covered events which highlighted my motivation to excel as a realtor. It was well received and hopefully provided encouragement to others.
Throughout my decades long real estate career I have continually looked for better ways to help my clients. I joined KW because they say their agents' efforts are more important than the brokerage. My ideas, experience, and passion for real estate sales lead me to become one of the top 3 agents nationwide at KW for three successive years. In the third year I was ranked as the #1 top real estate agent nationwide at KW. After achieving this, I reflected on how I could achieve better results for my home sellers and home buyers. I decided to leave KW and found JLee Realty.
Having my own brokerage enables me to quickly respond to changes in the real estate market, enables me to quickly try new ideas, enables me to provide better training for my team, and achieve more for my home sellers and home buyers. Having my own brokerage has removed unnecessary fences that were created to promote the nationwide brokerage and create opportunities for agents who do not want to put as much thought and effort into real estate sales.
