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.

    Jeff Lesley is a very knowledgable and caring real estate agent. He listened to me and considered my thoughts when we initally discussed the possibility of listing my home in the Southport area. He was prompt to our meetings and communicated with me throughout the process. My house sold in 3 days. Was an awesome experience working with Jeff Lesley and his staff.
  • Seller review
    Jeff was the realtor for us... though it took a little longer for us to sell due to some unexpected expenses, Jeff always stayed optimistic and positive. His experience as a realtor is par excellent and just when you think your back is a against the wall he possesses the expertise to help you through the maze... So thankful we were able to list and sell with Jeff, thank you so much!
  • Seller review
    Jeff and his staff was wonderful. Ashli was so on the ball I felt like I could count on her for anything. I hope she gets paid like she deserves. Since we actually moved two hours out of Wilmington into an assisted living facility is the only reason we didn't use him to find us a new home.
  • Buyer review
    I was extremely impressed with Mr. Lesley and his professionalism. He was very knowledgeable and helpful. I felt he went out of his way to help me find the right home. He was always available and willing to help. I will highly recommend him to family and friends.
  • Buyer review
    Jeff did a great job helping me find a reasonably priced investment home in a difficult market and in a very reasonable amount of time. I was able to make a pretty smooth transition from what i would consider a less than desirable property to one in a respectable neighborhood and Im not sure I would have found it without him. His assistant Ashli is also a tremendous help and did a great job helping to navigate the transaction.
