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 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!
  • Seller review
    excellent agent
  • Buyer review
    We were immediately impressed with Jeff's knowledge and experience from just reading his website. Our confidence in choosing him from afar was confirmed when we spoke then eventually met in person. In addition to making our home purchase happen in a competitive market, Jeff supplied us with a list of his trusted sub-contractors for us to use for the home repairs and updates that need to happen before we move in. Being new to the area, we couldn't have accomplished that without Jeff's assistance. We have done many real estate transactions over the years, and Jeff stands out as the very best in all aspects of the business. We are very grateful.
  • Seller review
    I should have written a review on Jeff about 6 years ago ( I apologize for not writing this sooner) when we were talking about selling our house. One of our friends recommended Jeff. Once we met him we knew he was the realtor we needed. He was all in on selling the house - having walls painted to the color of the year , also had a professional photographer to come in and take pics inside and out. We had a buyer in less than 2 weeks. When we wanted to sell this property - first person that we thought of was Jeff Lesley. If anyone ever asks for a realtor - Jeff Lesley will be recommended.
