Personal Profile

Jeff understands that buying or selling a home is one of the most important decisions his clients will ever make, and he will do whatever is needed to ensure a smooth buying/selling process. Whether you are a first-time home buyer, looking to sell your current home, relocating, or interested in luxury homes or investment properties, Jeff will assist you from start to finish. In 2022, Jeff alone sold 88 homes, closing a home roughly every 4 days. With this level of experience, he has negotiated numerous scenarios and contracts and knows this market extremely well. Jeff's mission is to deliver an elite level of quality service to all clients.

Jeff has lived in the Wilmington area for over 16 years, and has acquired a vast amount of knowledge of the local real estate market trends. Not only does he study the trends in the area, he attends national conferences watching the trends in other states and remains in touch with top agents worldwide to ensure he stays ahead of the market curve.

Jeff graduated from UNCW with a Masters in Business Administration which helped him gain the skills and training needed to be a top sales agent with the Century 21 brand. During his first full year with real estate, he conducted 37 transactions and earned a prestigious award with Century 21 which put him in the top 2 percent of all C21 agents. The average realtor only sells about 6-8 homes per year.

In May 2022, Jeff partnered up with a top Century 21 brokerage owner Greg Harrelson and opened Century 21 Vanguard here in the Cape Fear region. They are excited about bringing the best brand in real estate to this area and providing their clients with stellar service.

Over the past 11 years in real estate, Jeff has completed over 1,000 real estate transactions and over 195 million dollars in sales volume. He has been the #1 individual sales agent in the Cape Fear region by units from 2015-2020 and now sits as the #2 Century 21 Agent in all of North Carolina based on sales volume. In 2022, he earned the prestigious Grand Centurion Producer Award based on sales volume. Only an elite group of producers in the Century 21® company ever achieve this goal as the top 1% of producers in the Century 21® system. Jeff is a Century 21® President's Producer and Quality Service Producer, multiple Centurion Award winner (11 years), multiple Double Centurion Award winner (8 years), and now a second time Grand Centurion Award Winner.

This status puts Jeff as the #2 Century 21® real estate agent in North Carolina and #42 nationwide based on sales volume. The Century 21® brand values its relentless sales professionals who always elevate and give 121% to their clients throughout the entire process.

  • Buyer review
    Jeff Lesley is an expert realtor. He is very knowledgable and offers great guidance and recommendations. It's very difficult making investment decisions, Jeff graciously offers his support and feedback.
  • Seller review
    We knew Jeff is the best in the business, so there was nobody else we'd trust to sell our home! The entire transaction from start to finish went smoothly. We trusted him with pricing points because of his extensive experience and local market knowledge. Our home got many showings in the first couple weeks and went under contract for asking price, which is exactly what we wanted. Jeff is an excellent realtor and businessman. He knows the local market well and was incredibly respectful and knowledgeable throughout the transaction. His team was equally helpful and knowledgeable throughout the process. Ashli kept us updated when photos were taking place, measurements, etc. and connected us to the necessary vendors to get our house ready to be sold. She responded quickly to all questions we had. She was on top of everything. I know Jeff's other staff also work hard to make everything happen, so kudos to them. Hands down, the best sales transaction we've had! Everything went smoothly from start to finish and we could not be happier. If we ever plan to buy or sell in the future, we will 100% call Jeff. We cannot recommend him enough!
  • Buyer review
    Jeff was an outstanding agent for us. Jeff's professionalism and knowledge of the market, the area, and process for purchasing new home construction gave us confidence throughout the purchase process. Jeff and Ashli were also patient and took the time to discuss and explain any questions or conerns that we had. We would definitely recommend Jeff and his team to anyone moving to the area.
  • Buyer review
    Jeff is extremely knowledgeable of the area and very experienced. We felt very secure having Jeff guide us through this process and would recommend him and his team to anyone interested in buying or selling in New Hanover County.
  • Seller review
    Jeff provided the professionalism, industry and area knowledge that we know were needed to get us the best contract possible. In my many moves across the country, Jeff and staff were the very best.
  • Buyer review
    Jeff was incredibly professional and knowledgeable throughout the entire process. Jeff and his team Ashli, Brenna, and Hannah all played a vital role in our selling/buying process to ensure everything worked out as discussed. Hope to not move anytime soon but if we do, I won't hesitate to give Jeff and his team a call!
