The Crawford & Lee Team is built on experience, local knowledge, strong relationships, and a shared commitment to putting clients first.
Led by Claire Crawford and John Lee, the team serves buyers and sellers throughout Maryland, Washington, D.C., and Virginia, with a strong focus on Montgomery County and the surrounding communities. Together, Claire and John bring decades of real estate experience, market knowledge, negotiation expertise, and hands-on guidance to every transaction.
Both believe that real estate is about much more than simply buying or selling a home. It is about understanding each client’s goals, helping them make informed decisions, and providing the level of communication and support they deserve throughout the process.
For sellers, the Crawford & Lee Team takes a strategic approach to preparing, pricing, and marketing each property. Their marketing includes professional photography, targeted digital advertising, property-specific promotion, extensive buyer outreach, and access to a large local database. Just as importantly, Claire and John work closely with sellers before the home reaches the market, helping determine which improvements make sense, how to present the property, and how to position it for the strongest possible result.
For buyers, the team focuses on understanding the complete picture. That means learning not only what a client wants in a home, but also what matters most about location, lifestyle, budget, timing, and long-term plans. From neighborhood guidance and property evaluation to offer strategy, inspections, negotiations, and closing, Claire and John provide steady, practical advice at every step.
Their connection to the area runs deep. John is a fourth-generation Montgomery County resident, and the team’s years of experience throughout the region have given them an extensive understanding of local neighborhoods, schools, housing styles, market trends, and community characteristics. That local perspective helps clients move beyond the numbers and make decisions with greater confidence.
Over the years, the Crawford & Lee Team has had the privilege of helping hundreds of families and individuals with their real estate needs. Many of those relationships continue long after settlement, with past clients returning for advice, referrals, and future moves.
At the heart of the Crawford & Lee Team is a simple philosophy: provide exceptional service, communicate openly, work hard, and always do what is right for the client.
Whether you are buying your first home, selling a longtime property, moving up, downsizing, investing, relocating, or simply looking for trusted real estate advice, Claire and John are here to be a resource before, during, and long after the sale.
