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.

  • Seller review
    From our first meeting, Jeff impressed me with his professionalism and his get the job done attitude. He was very polite and considerate in dealing with my wife. She was also impressed with his get the job done attitude. Jeff presented his plan to us which seemed like a good one and he executed it in a very professional meaner As I mentioned earlier, The ladies that worked with Jeff were outstanding. If i had another house to sell I would certainly ask Jeff to be my agent.

    Century 21 and Jeff Lesley were very helpful in getting our home sold. I would strongly recommend them or any Century 21 location to friends and relatives.

    Jeff is a miracle worker!
  • Buyer review
    Jeff Lesley was a pleasure to work with. I moved from Hickory NC to the Wilmington area and knew no one. My agent back in Hickory referred me to Jeff after doing some research on agents in the area that she thought would be good for me. She wasn't wrong! Jeff and his team was excellent throughout the whole process. If Jeff wasnt available, which was hardly ever the case, his assistant Kristin was and she was also very knowledgeable. If you are moving to the Wilmington area and you need a realtor I highly recommend Jeff Lesley and his team. Also, if you need a quality lender Amanda Green was awesome at Alpha Mortgage. With Jeff as your realtor and Amanda at Alpha working for you it doesn't get any easier or better! Side note: We looked at 16 homes in 2 days and closed in less then 30 days. That's how efficient they are !!
  • Seller review
    Jeff was absolutely what I needed. After many stressful events, I needed someone to take charge and was definitely the man for the job. He handled everything with poise and professionalism. Always prompt and prepared, Jeff knew how to read the people involved. Would have him as my Realtor anywhere, anytime.
