There is so much I could say about Lee but the most important things would be that he was incredibly helpful, knowledgeable and patient. We had started having Lee video homes for us before we moved to the area. He really helped us to figure out what we wanted. I will use him again in a heartbeat and would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone buying or selling in Asheville.
Lee showed professionalism throughout our real estate sale. His follow up and timeliness was first class.

Lee was in invaluable support and guide throughout the home buying process. As first-time, out-of-state home buyers, we were so grateful for Lee’s patience, flexibility, insight, and kindness throughout the home buying process. Lee was incredibly knowledgeable and had the experience to help us distill our priorities into feasible housing options. He allowed us to set the pace on timeline as we started to think through our move. He was very responsive to all of our questions and concerns and went above and beyond to make sure we were able to virtually tour houses of interest. He was honest and genuine and really helped us to think through what made sense for us and our priorities. He was also kind enough to coordinate with relatives who were in the area. When a home of interest came on... Show More

Lee was fantastic. He helped my husband and me find the perfect home. We looked at many places, and he assisted us in figuring out what were the main things we really wanted. His care and patience was really appreciated through this process. He's the best!

My husband and I were blessed to have Lee as our listing agent. My moma and daddy bought their house over 50 years ago. My daddy passed away in 1999 and my moma continued to live there until she died in April of this year. I grew up there and my son grew up there as well. Lee understood just how much that house meant to us and how much of an emotional journey this was for me. His kindness and compassion meant so much. He is not only a wonderful agent he is a wonderful person who has become a friend. My husband, son and I are so grateful for everything Lee did to make this emotional journey as easy as possible as well as the success of selling my family home. Thank you Lee…you were a blessing.
Very personable and responsive. Never waited long for a call back or a response. Best experience with a realtor I've had in 50+ transactions
Working with Lee was extremely easy. He was very timely in his responses to any questions we had and his knowledge of the area was excellent.
Over the course of a year, Lee was always available with his time and knowledge. He is extremely professional and has a great sense of humor. I would highly recommend him.

Once we started to look for a property through Redfin in Asheville, we were connected to Lee via the Redfin app. We first made contact from out-of-state and he immediately took the time to get to know our profile -- timeline, whereabouts, wants, etc. He helped us define what we were looking for. Months later, once we were in town, we met up. He was gracious with his schedule and took the time to learn more about us. He always made himself available to tour if his calendar was open. During tours, he provided insights and information about the quality and statuses of the structures and/or properties. He prepared well for the tours and scheduled them in a route and cadence that made sense. He helped us finalize an offer and go into contract on the first property we decided to make an offer...

Lee was a great help in finding and securing the purchase of our home when moving to Asheville. Upon meeting Lee upon the recommendation of our agent in New Orleans, it was clear he had our interests in mind. Lee expressed a lot of patience, has a very calming way, and gave us a lot of space to consider and understand each home we viewed, providing helpful prompts and insights into the homes in this region. We came from a region of very different typical home styles, maintenance concerns, and market conditions so there were some things to get used to! Lee acted quickly when we wished to put in an offer, was present throughout the closing process, and helped iron out a few concerns that arose along the way. I recommend Lee for buyers who are looking for a knowledgeable, pleasant,... Show More

Lee was terrific. Excellent background, knowledge of the industry, real estate trends, etc. His counsel was invaluable re negotiations, etc. Very responsive! The only negative was his choice of real estate firms which he helped mitigate by calling one of the attorneys (vis a vis paralegals) at my behest to convey our dissatisfaction and thus, implicitly (I suspect), threaten loss of potential Redfin business.

Lee was very helpful, knowledgeable and patient as he showed us many houses in a number of areas; all the while having a good attitude and sense of humor. He even stood out in the rain with us while we were waiting to see a house. He facilitated the purchase transaction process and stayed in touch with us daily. I recommend Lee to anyone looking for property.
Our second time using K. Lee Smith, and each time we have been fully satisfied. K. Lee Smith guided us seamlessly through the process of buying a home, and his knowledge and expertise of the North Carolina real estate market made our purchases that much easier.

K. Lee is by far the best realtor I have ever worked with. Not only is he a very delightful, caring, very thoughtful & considerate person, he has impeccable integrity and is definitely willing to go the extra mile to make sure you are taken care of. He was on top of every step of the buying process, very clear and meticulously thorough in every detail of what I might need in my home, and right there when I needed questions answered or help understanding documents and moving through each step of the process of buying my new home. Thanks to K. Lee's help, I have bought exactly the kind of home I was looking for, sight unseen, from California, and am now so thrilled to be in this perfect home in Burnsville, NC, that has all the elements I was looking for! Also a big thank you to his sweet,... Show More

I'm an investor that has worked with many agents over the years, mostly all in my home town (8 hours away from Asheville), but have worked with a lot of agents in many markets in the last 6 months. I'm somewhat of an expert at "firing" and finding new agents after not being satisfied with how they've performed for me in various ways. Lee was the best agent I've worked with in a long time. Possibly ever. Professional and responsive, knowledgeable and understanding of my questions/ignorance about NC's weird due diligence periods etc., friendly and personable and willing to go above and beyond the call of duty in so many ways. In this crazy market, I had to make offers multiple times without ever seeing the properties, based on Lee's input and video calls. I can't imagine making decisions... Show More

Lee was great to work with! Level headed. Calm. Available to help. Reliable. And willing to go the extra mile in making sure you understand everything.
Lee has been an absolute pleasure to work with. As first time buyers he has been extremely helpful as we’ve navigated the house hunting process by sharing great explanations about how the process works and tips from his years of experience…he also gives great “dad advice” as we call it since our families live scattered around the country. One of the most refreshing things about Lee is that he’s not pushy at all to make a sale, instead he’s very thoughtful and makes sure the house is the right fit for you and your budget. He asks the right questions to really make you think about what you want and if it will work for you. We found Lee by pure luck and am so glad that we did. I would highly recommend working with him if you’re looking for a new home!

We bought a home remotely from Miami. It was like having a family member on site. I could not imagine a better agent.
Lee is the consummate professional. Being new to the North Carolina real estate market, we needed an agent that we could trust. From the beginning of our search for a property to our closing, Lee was readily available to assist us with his significant expertise of the market and knowledge of real estate transaction processes. Lee represented our interests fully throughout the process, always responsive to our concerns and respectful to all parties. We could not have found a better agent than Lee.
