YOU BEAR THE RESPONSIBILITY FOR ONE OF THE

MOST IMPORTANT ASSETS YOUR BUSINESS MUST

MANAGE, ITS REAL ESTATE. WHETHER CONTEMPLATING

A TRANSACTION OR GETTING A QUESTION ANSWERED,

WOULDN’T YOU RATHER TALK TO A COMPANY OWNER?

And from that notion, a dynamic

business model was born.

Being different defines the success

of Lee & Associates. Bill Lee's vision,

giving real estate brokers principal

ownership opportunity created a

new paradigm proven to foster

camaraderie, reward hard work,

and attract the top real estate pro-

fessionals to its ranks. Fueled by

operational efficiencies, this distinc-

tive organization has a dynamic,

experienced leadership team who

share a common vision for success.

Lee & Associates thrives because it

is a brokerage built on long-term

relationships and the delivery of

personalized client-driven solutions.

Bill Lee's profit-sharing concept has

stood the test of time, making Lee &

Associates one of the largest, and

fastest growing full-service commer-

cial real estate sales organizations in

North America today.

Our future is filled with promise

because the possibilities are limitless.

What if a local division of a national real estate company was managed andrun by its owner?

IT ALL BEGAN WITH A SIMPLE QUESTION
