Just wow !!!!

Just wow !!!! There aren’t”t enough words to express my gratitude and the level of service and care that Lee gives to his clients . Lee goes above and beyond when it comes to helping you find the right place , communicating , fighting for his clients on every front even giving up his time to help ease the process as much as possible . I was told by friends he was the best but until I worked with him myself in finding my home I didn’t know how amazing he is . I would whole heartedly recommend Lee to anyone looking to buy or sell a property.

Lee is amazing!!

Lee is amazing. I interviewed a number of realtors and Lee was the most knowledgable, easy to communicate with, trustworthy and experienced. I live out of state and met with Lee only once at my house and together we came up with a plan of what the house required for the sale to be successful. Lee set up all the work to be done and included me in the process by email and phone. He expediated the work that was needed and showed the house right on schedule, got a great turn out and multiple offers. The sale closed within a month and for more than I expected. Lee was a joy to work with and clearly advised me along the way when decisions had to be made. He is a winner. I highly reccomend him.

We cannot stress how lucky we were to have Lee!!

We cannot stress how lucky we were to have Lee and his partner, Josephine, represent us in selling our long-time home. From the moment they came to walk through the property, we knew we were in good hands. He was very clear with his vision and marketing strategy, giving us a roadmap of what needed to happen and when in order to meet our time constraints. We leaned on him to guide us through the cleaning and staging processes, and by the end of it his expertise was clearly on display when the property sold well above asking, beyond even our most generous estimates. We could not have imagined a smoother experience. Beyond the professionalism, Lee is genuinely friendly and personable which made him so easy to work with. Would highly recommend him!

Lee is without a doubt, the best listing agent I could have chosen -

Lee is without a doubt, the best listing agent I could have chosen. I have sold three homes and he was by far the most invested and knowledgeable agent I have had. His market strategy was spot on, leading to a competitive price point that resulted in immediate interest and multiple strong offers. My house sold for far more and quicker than I could have ever imagined. The entire process from pricing, staging advice to closing was managed with integrity, professionalism, efficiency, and clear communication. I was very fortunate to have been referred to him and I highly recommend him to anyone seeking a stress free and financially successful home sale.

Lee did an amazing job for us!!

Lee did an amazing job for us, ranging from helping us find renters for our property after moving out, as well as helping us find a buyer when we were ready to sell. His expertise and professionalism really helped us feel comfortable in the process and Lee's advice helped us get an offer and close quickly. He was incredibly knowledgeable and had contacts for most of our needs in preparing for the sale. Would highly recommend Lee and work with him again without hesitation!

Lee Bothast has been our go-to realtor for over 5 years!

Lee Bothast has been our go-to realtor for over 5 years, both for our current home's purchase and with our ongoing rental property. When it was time to find new tenants for our property, we did not hesitate to reach out to him for assistance. Just as he did 5 years ago when we were first-time landlords, Lee guided us through the entire process. He handled everything including advising us on making necessary home updates, having our house photographed and effectively marketed, showing the property and interacting with prospective tenants, and handling all aspects of the lease agreement. Lee went above and beyond to make sure our needs were met and all our questions were answered. His professionalism, knowledge, kindness, and patience are unparalleled and we are so grateful for his help. Lee made us feel truly supported throughout the whole process and we can't recommend him highly enough!
