About Lee
With more than $75 million in sales to date, Lee specializes in representing buyers and sellers of premier homes in the Washington metropolitan region. From the beginning of her real estate career she has been with one firm, Coldwell Banker Residential Brokerage, located on Capitol Hill. She has represented clients in every field and all price ranges, and they have returned to her time and again when they have decided to purchase or sell another home. She prides herself on superior customer service.
She moved to Washington DC in the late 1990s and worked for Members of Congress in communications. Prior to that, she spent many years abroad in Europe, Asia and the Middle East. She has studied Arabic, French, Spanish, Chinese and German as well as art history, architecture, political science, economics and marketing. Lee's exposure to other cultures gives her a unique understanding of Washington's vibrant international community.
A native sixth generation Texan, Lee received her undergraduate degree in International Studies and French from Austin College and the American University in Cairo, Egypt. She received her Master of Arts degree from the Center for Middle Eastern Studies at the University of Texas at Austin.
Lee's insistence on professional service has brought her awards and recognition, but most importantly it has produced a client base of satisfied homeowners who refer her to their friends and colleagues. Her dedication to maintaining these life-long relationships serves to underscore her business philosophy: making sure that all of her clients are completely satisfied.
