Lee is a Wilson, NC native and a graduate of East Carolina University in Greenville. He pursued his dream in real estate right out of school and has always felt like it was his passion. Building a portfolio of residential rental properties in the Wilson market, Lee purchased a self-storage facility and operated that business for 10 years before selling to an Ohio-based self-storage firm.

​

While developing the storage business, Lee took over a Wilson-based real estate firm and served as broker in charge and qualifying broker for several years. This firm had over 50 years of combined agent experience with a solid reputation in representing customers in the Wilson market. After leaving Wilson for Wilmington, NC he soon opened and expanded real estate services to the Wilmington market. Brokerage sales, property management for long-term and vacation rentals were the bread and butter. Carolina One Properties was born, and he has not regretted a moment yet. Managing a firm on one of the most desirable locations in the country has been a dream for Lee. He can help residential and commercial buyers as well as list properties in the greater Wilmington area. He is a father of three and is an Ironman Triathlete.

​

Teaching is also a passion for Lee. He purchased and is the Director of Education for Southern Choice Real Estate Academy in 2014. He looks forward to connecting with students and helping them reach their full real estate potential in education of sales and property management.
