About Lee Smith

Buyer Success Team · Realtor Associate
Lee Smith

Lee is an accomplished executive with a career in sales, marketing, client services and consulting in the retail, technology and home entertainment industries prior to entering the residential real estate business as a Buyers Agent with the Sue Adler Team.

Lee’s approach to Real Estate strongly emphasizes the discovery process, identifying the true needs of his clients. He applies that process and a dedication to providing the absolute best service to finding clients the right home. Lee’s selling philosophy involves providing buyers with the best available information to make the right choice for them, supporting that choice with great market knowledge and relying on his strong negotiating skills to get his clients the best possible deal.

After 12 years living in NYC, briefly in Brooklyn and then the West Village, Lee moved to Maplewood 21 years ago as his family began to outgrow their 4th-floor walkup. He commuted into the city for several years before starting his own businesses here in New Jersey. His insight into the communities and neighborhoods along the Midtown Direct line comes from working in these towns with homeowners, interior designers and builders when he was the owner of a home theater installation business with showrooms initially in Millburn, and later in Chatham.

As an avid cyclist, Lee’s intimate knowledge of the Midtown Direct towns comes from having passed through nearly every neighborhood at 12 – 16 miles per hour on a bike!

Working with Lee was a great pleasure for my wife and myself! Not only does he have a wealth of knowledge and strategies for buying a home (we got ours on our first bid!) which helps you put in a competitive offer to be accepted, he also has very good contacts for all of the other services you need (used all of his suggested vendors/services and they were all great as well). In addition to this, whenever I had a question or concern I knew I had a highly trusted resource with lee who would always answer promptly. I would recommend using Lee to all my friends and family when it comes time for them to purchase or sell a home!Read Less

Lee was exceptional to work with. Not only was he extremely knowledgeable about the entire home buying process, his charming and warm demeanor made the house hunting process less daunting for first time home buyers. After a showing he would introduce us to the local neighborhood over a coffee and provide pointers about the schools/parks/public transit/etc. We looked in 3 counties (Union, Morris and Essex) and Lee was able to provide valuable insight about varying market conditions for each individual town. If you’re looking to purchase a home in NJ, we highly recommend Lee.Read Less
