Dr. Lee's Back Story

| Dr. Lee, a Lifelong Learner |
Randomness about Dr. Lee that's very "on brand":
She got her college scholarship from writing an op-ed that was published in the local newspaper while she was a middle school student. Yes, she was in pigtails and eyeglasses, still playing with Cabbage Patch dolls and roller skating. Yet, at that same time, she wrote about the ramifications of an impending teacher's strike in the local news. That's heavy for a 'tween. In other words, she was oddly outspoken as a kid. She believes there is no changing her outspokenness now, ha!

As a result, she obtained REALTOR® certifications as an Affordable Housing Specialist and a Short Sale and Foreclosure Resource. She helped numerous families emerge from "The Great Recession" with their housing needs met.
At that same time, Dr. Lee was honored with a position on the advisory board at Kennesaw State University’s Center for Professional Selling, allowing her to impart into the program and its students during her management tenure with RE/MAX.
Now, Dr. Lee weekly helps sales professionals and organizations use today's technology plus their unique personality to work smarter while encouraging ethical and fair housing. She is honored to have training clients throughout the U.S. that have been recognized as the Top Thousand salespeople in the nation, making over $500,000 in income.
Personally, Dr. Lee has volunteered with her local REALTIST and REALTOR® association in several capacities, having been awarded the Five Star Circle of Service for exemplary service.
