PHILANTHROPY
Lee & Associates’ 501C-3 charitable organization, CompassionateLEE, was founded in 2019 and is focused on bringing people together to assist our Lee family members and others in our communities in times of crisis. Our goal is to provide the members of our organization with an opportunity to focus on helping others by extending a hand of support in our local communities during an emergency or wherever we see a chance that someone may need our help. We also raise money through Lee Offices fundraising events, and money raised goes towards offering support when emergencies arise and to other worthy causes outside of our own organization to do our part to make the world a better place.
OUR PHILOSOPHY
ENTREPRENEURSHIP & EQUITY
One of our key values at Lee & Associates is ownership, real equity in the office that you participate in. We give each of our brokers the opportunity to become a principal in their local office. That principal/shareholder standing allows them to not only share in the profits of their local office, but it allows them to have a say in the direction of the company on a national basis.
Culture at Lee & Associates means a number of different things; it means the opportunity to be an owner of your local office, to participate in a profit pool at your local office, to invest in the growth of the company, to own real estate with partners in your company or through the Associates Equity Fund (AEF).
The difference at Lee & Associates is that our shareholders are our revenue producers, and it is our goal to return those profits in reward for their outstanding client services.
SERVICES TO MEET THE NEEDS
OF OUR CLIENTS
Lee & Associates’ offices offer a broad array of real estate services tailored to meet the needs of the company’s clients in each of the markets it operates, including commercial real estate brokerage, integrated services, and construction services.
With specialty practice groups in each of these disciplines, our professionals regularly collaborate to make sure they are providing their clients with the most advanced, up-to-date market technology and information.
