About

A Calm, Clear Approach to Real Estate

Buying or selling a home can feel overwhelming—I see that every day. My job is to bring clarity, calm, and strong advocacy to the process, drawing on over ten years of legal-grade advocacy and the perspective of a former practicing attorney.

Deep Local Knowledge, Broad Regional Reach

I live in Olney and know Montgomery County inside and out, while also working regularly throughout the surrounding Maryland counties, Washington, DC, and Northern Virginia. I work with all types of buyers and sellers—from first-time purchases to luxury homes and relocations—but I’m especially helpful for clients who want straight answers, thoughtful strategy, and a steady hand in competitive or high-stakes situations.

Preparation Over Pressure

My approach is simple: Strategy Over Hype. Preparation Over Pressure. I’m direct, responsive, and deeply invested in my clients’ outcomes. As one buyer shared, “It’s clear that Lee cares deeply about his clients and ensuring that they get the house that they want.” A seller once told me I was “willing to go way beyond what I expected,” helping make a long-distance sale feel manageable and smooth. This philosophy is the foundation of my 25-point Strategic Roadmap, a documented 4-phase process designed to replace market noise with transactional clarity.

Luxury Expertise, Strategic Guidance

I'm Luxury Certified, and through my partnership with Forbes Global Properties, I help sellers stand out with elevated marketing while guiding buyers through changing markets with calm, strategic advice. I’ve worked through fast markets, slow markets, and everything in between—and I believe good advice matters more than market conditions.

Trust Above All Else

Above all, trust matters to me. I’ll tell you what I know, I’ll tell you what I don’t, and I’ll always do the work to get you the right answer. If you’re looking for a thoughtful, engaged partner who takes your goals seriously, I’d be glad to help.

What My Clients Are Saying

“I am so grateful Lee was my agent! I had no idea what a difference a great agent could make. When Lee saw I was kind of “settling” he showed me very specific comps from the past year so I could have that perspective and see that what I wanted I could actually find in my price range. Then, when the house I wanted had multiple offers, he explained all the various ways I could make my offer most attractive. When my offer was accepted, it turned out that the factors the seller liked about my offer were exactly the things Lee had suggested. I felt like Lee always gave me full attention. His communication is excellent. His demeanor is calm and confident, which is really nice during what can be a stressful process. He has connections that also really helped me. The lender I found through him was very attentive and went the extra mile in helping me get my new house. I give Lee the highest recommendation!”

J G

“Lee was very clear, responsive and willing to help at all the times. I very satisfied with his help. We saw multiples places and again he was very helpful until I found the right one . My brother worked with Lee twice before and now I know why. Totally recommend him. He is very knowledgeable about the market .”

Carlos Phang

“Lee did an excellent job in obtaining a tenant for my rental property. He was always available for showings and questions. Never once did he let us down.”

Gwendolyn Lindsay

“Lee was outstanding! Helped us every step of the way and went above and beyond to coordinate since we live out of town. From the time we met, we were under contract three weeks later - house sold in less than 48 hours on the market! Truly a pro - highly recommend!”

Elizabeth Blakeman

“I have nothing but good things to say about my experience working with Lee recently to sell my father's home. He helped make a challenging process done largely at a distance as smooth as possible. He's responsive, a clear communicator, and really knows the local market well, so that we were able to price the house for a quick sale at a good price. I also need to add that Lee was willing to go way beyond what I expected, assisting with getting contractors into the home when needed, and even shipping some accumulated mail to me. I strongly advise you to work with him; you won't be sorry.”

“Lee did a great job of selling our home in Howard County and helping us find our home in Carroll County. He was a very patient person who closely listed to our needs and catered accordingly. Lee is very personable and I really felt he was supporting us and not just closing a deal. He was always available to assist in every way from answering questions to coordinating a showing.”

Matt Sherman

“Lee represented us for both the sale and purchase of our homes, and we really couldn’t have asked for a better experience. He had great advice and crafted an excellent offer and selling strategy to get us everything we wanted and more. He is a true professional, honest, and kind, and we were very lucky to work with him!”

Caroline Benkert

“As first-time homebuyers navigating one of the most difficult markets in recent history, we highly recommend Lee Friedman. Lee was able to walk us through the entire process and provide us with sound advice on the state of the market and how to structure a competitive offer. Lee was always available to show us a home or discuss anything about the home buying process. Lee easily showed us over twenty houses and helped us put in several offers. Lee always provided us with honest advice and never pressured us into putting in any terms with which we were not comfortable. Lee also was able to provide us with great recommendations for a lender and inspection company. It’s clear from our time with Lee as our agent, that he cares deeply about his clients and ensuring that they get the house that they want. I would recommend Lee to anyone looking to buy or sell a house. I especially would recommend him to first time home-buyers like ourselves.”

“Lee is a great real estate agent, especially for a first-time home buyer like myself. He came highly recommended by a friend who has bought a couple of properties with Lee. He was patient and knowledgeable of the process. He had no problem repeating information for me and revisiting properties I was interested in. I was a "slow decider/processor" in a fast market but he did not rush me to make this important decision but quickly moved to make deadlines once I did decide. He is also knowledgeable of local contractors when we needed a quick home inspection. I would recommend Lee as a real estate professional.”

“Lee helped us find our perfect home! He is an excellent agent who knows the dc metro area well and is committed to getting the house you want!! While working with him he proved to be patient and committed to finding the house in the neighborhood we wanted and with everything on our “must have” list. He also helped us negotiate a price within our budget in a very tough market. We highly recommend him!”
