John is very knowledgeable about Real Estate and what should be looked for when buying a home. My experience with him regarding going under contract was very good. There were a few concerns: 1. Initially, he was pushing me to go with his lender and when I pushed back, he tried to tell me that only some known lenders will work. I did go with my own lender, and I can tell you that I got a much better rate. So please be aware of this. Also, despite telling his lender that I am going with another lender, this lender kept on bothering me with text messages. 2. John then also shared with me that he knows of someone who paints and charges four dollars per square feet. He shared that this particular guy helps him with Painting, Handyman, etc. to get his properties listed. The three of us went through the property I was about to close on where we discussed the inspection report and the Painting, etc. After a few days when I approached John to get this person‘s number, I felt a hesitation. I then told him that I need to get more quotes to ensure that I’m not being charged more, and that is when John shared with me that this guy works for John as John has another company for Painting, etc. I was kind of surprised with this new information after getting the quote. I did decide to go with John’s company. The work done by the Painter was satisfactory, however, there were clear communication gaps. So once again would caution regarding engagement for any other work other than buying and selling real estate. If you do decide to go with this additional work, please ensure everything is in writing. If it was not for this bad experience regarding the lender and all of the miscommunication, I would have rated John a five star for a real estate agent.

There are moments in life when you meet someone who doesn’t just do their job, they truly become part of your journey. For my husband William and me, that person was John Lee. From the very beginning, Mr. Lee greeted us with kindness, patience, and a genuine heart. The home-buying process wasn’t always easy! There were moments when it felt like there was no light at the end of the road. But in those moments, Mr. Lee became that light. He never gave up on us, and because of that, we never gave up either. His dedication, persistence, and unwavering support are the reasons our dream became a reality. He didn’t just help us find a house he helped us find a home. What makes Mr. Lee even more special is who he is beyond real estate. Whether he was sharing stories about hockey, fast cars, video games, or even throwing in a few good dad jokes, he made every step of the process feel personal and comfortable. And although we’ve never met his wife Claire, the way he speaks about her makes you feel like you already know her, like we were working with family, not just a realtor. The bottom line is simple: John Lee is truly one of Maryland’s finest! If not the best. If you are looking to buy or sell a home, do yourself a favor and reach out to him. You won’t just gain a realtor, you’ll gain someone who genuinely cares. William and I highly recommend John Lee and the Crawford & Lee team to anyone and everyone looking to make their next move. Trust us… You’ll be glad you did!. 😊 💕 Sincerely, Mattie Lucius-Smith

John is the absolute best! He was very attentive, extremely knowledgeable and thorough in his communication. We felt safe and comfortable throughout the process. John makes you feel like family while maintaining complete professionalism. My family is very grateful and pleased with our new home. Thank you John!

Our home was custom built in 1992 and we spent 34 years caring for this home and creating memories. We knew it was time to downsize and move into a smaller, more accessible home. John and is wife Claire not only sold our home in 2 days but helped us emotionally throughout the entire process. We will be forever grateful their help and support as we moved through this challenging time. Most thankful.

John is very caring professional business man treat me and my Son with respect and guide him through the process of the house 🏠 process we were very blessed to meet him and help us I will represent John to anyone who wants to purchase a house .

Shared a lot of information and knowledge I was not expecting from an agent. I'll recommend John any day of the week.

John is great at what he does. Decades of knowledge and is an expert at his field. He will make sure you’re well taken care with smooth transactions and accommodations.

We had a great experience with John and Claire - we met with John a full year and a half before we even went on the market, and were convinced he and Claire were the ones to go with. When it came time, they were professional, communicative, attentive, and guided us through the whole process. Their advice and guidance helped us sell our house faster than expected and for more than expected. We cannot recommend them highly enough!

I was very happy with John Lee's services in selling my house in Montgomery County. He is detail oriented and extremely conscientious. When the buyer arranged a four hour inspection, John stayed for the entire inspection. It became apparent that John's technical knowledge of houses and real estate is extensive. I can vouch for the fact that there is an enormous range in the qualifications of realtors. John Lee is highly qualified and one of the very best. I highly recommend him!
