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.

Client Reviews

  • Buyer review
    I was from out of town and everything was handeled remotely. Jeff explained the process at the very beginning and it played out exactly like he said. Can't ask for more than that. The house I ended up purchasing turned out to be better than the one I initially inquired about. Also the mortgage and insurance people Jeff connected me were also excellent.
  • Buyer review
    Jeff Lesley and the extended team at both Century 21 Sweyer and Alpha Mortgage were outstanding partners in this endeaver. They were very knowledgeable and helpful throughout the search, selection and closing processes. Jeff was very forthright regarding all aspects of homes and neighborhoods which was critical for me being from out of town. Jeff continues to stay involved post closing by providing names of competent service providers..I recognize this was a small dollar sale but I never felt like Jeff was not giving me his all....I would highly recommend this team to anyone interested in buying and financing in the coastal area.
  • Buyer review
    Jeff listened to what we were looking for and worked hard to help us find what would fit our needs, even though it took months to find the right home he continued to encourage us and show us all the options to make sure we were happy. He was always on time and on the lookout for what would work for us and would gladly work with Jeff in the future.
  • Seller review
    We never actually met and yet Jeff handled our sale with enthusiasm, professionalism and efficiency. I felt very confident that he handled the sale as if I was standing right there (I was actually across the country). I would highly recommend Jeff to anyone selling in the Wilmington area.
  • Buyer review
    Jeff Lesley was with me every step of the way with the purchase of my first home. He did an excellent job of working around my crazy schedule for house viewing. Jeff was always very friendly and always had the answers to my questions. He is definitely good and what he does, which means he loves what he does. And that means a lot. He gets just as excited about you getting your house as you do. I loved working with him.
  • Buyer review
    My realtor selection was very random, I inquired about a property that Jeff listed and started working with him from that point on. Very Happy we got to work with jeff, he's a great realtor. I also dealt with jeffs associates Gabby and kristen and they were both very helpful and pleasent to work with. Great low stress experience , i would definately recommend Jeff and century 21 to anyone.
