The Lee Ann Wilkinson Group

"Backstory: Twenty nine years ago, Lee Ann sold us our home in Lewes. She represented the seller and we first met her at the settlement table. She was very professional and thorough, making our purchase a pleasure. About a year ago, I decided to sell a piece of land in Milton, DE. Owing to my first experience with her, Lee Ann was my obvious choice of agent. I chose well: she made everything very smooth. I got an offer within a month and after some negotiation, we settled without a hitch. Impeccable professionalism from Lee Ann and her team, again. This past December: Tragically, my wife had recently died. I was feeling anxious to make some big changes, including leaving the house and town we’d shared for so long. I contacted Lee Ann. We worked out a selling price and I decided to move forward using her as the exclusive agent. She was receptive to my needs, offering insightful suggestions without pushing me to make any changes or concessions that I wasn’t comfortable with. She cared about me and my home, representing it in its best, honest light. Her commission options felt quite fair to me as the seller. To their impressive credit, Lee Ann & her team found a buyer much faster than I had anticipated. It was at that point that my stomach dropped, realizing I’d sadly made the mistake of selling too quickly. It used to be my wife and I making these large life decisions together, and it struck me that I’m not yet ready to leave this beautiful home and town of ours behind. Not knowing what to do, I called Lee Ann. She showed incredible empathy then jumped directly into doing all she could to help me correct my error and keep my home (with neither a single moment of pressure nor frustration about losing her sale). Despite all I’ve already written, I simply haven’t words to express my appreciation for her monumental integrity and compassion. I’m happily writing this review from my home, thanks to her. She found another property for the buyers and while I can’t speak for them, I watched her expertly balance meeting both their needs and mine. All while treating me, not like the source of what must have been a difficult challenge, but like a friend. So, to whoever has read this far, I offer two pieces of advice… 1) If you’re considering living in Lewes (or Sussex County), do it. The same magic that captivated my wife & I so many years ago just kept me from the regret of leaving this place. 2) Choose Lee Ann, whether buying or selling. Finding someone this caring and ethical in any business is a rarity; she goes above and beyond to make a sale as fair and easy as possible for all parties involved."

"There are not enough superlatives to describe our experiences with Sharon Adams and the Lee Ann Wilkinson Group! It's very easy to see why they are so highly rated in Sussex County! Sharon was professional, friendly, knowledgeable, and a terrific communicator and coordinator throughout the process of selling my sister's condo in Hearthstone Manor (4101 D Fullerton Court, Milford) this summer, and again this winter with my uncle's home in Plantations East (358 Plantations Blvd, Lewes.) She expertly analyzed the improvements needed to the homes, and immediately assisted us in contracting with terrific and affordable help to complete the required work and make these properties look their very best for buyers! The Milford home was listed late on a Friday, and by Sunday, we had a cash offer that was 99% of asking! Today, we closed on the Lewes house, and are ecstatic to have completed another successful sale from Vermont! Sharon is the BEST!"

"I purchased a beach house in Lewes, DE through Lee Ann Wilkinson. It was a double ended sale where she represented both the seller and the buyer. From the get go there was a lot of pressure to pay full asking price. When we insisted on negotiating there was even more pressure to accept the first counter-offer. After the contract was signed and before closing, I repeatedly felt as though my concerns were dismissed or unaddressed (such as non-functions light fixtures, the home being left dirty by sellers etc.). I repeatedly got the impression that Lee Ann was representing her own best interests instead of mine as her client. Unfortunately, I would not recommend this experience to anyone."

"Working with the Lee Ann Wilkinson Group was an absolute pleasure from start to finish. Lee Ann and her team’s professionalism, friendliness, and exceptional communication ensured that we were well-informed and supported at every step of the process, alleviating any uncertainties we had along the way. Lee Ann’s personal and profound knowledge of the Lewes market was invaluable in securing the perfect property for us. We couldn't be happier with our experience and highly recommend Lee Ann Wilkinson to anyone looking for a new home."

"Lee Ann and her team were absolutely top notch in helping us to both sell our existing vacation home and to purchase a new one. Lee Ann’s knowledge of the local real estate market is superb, and she was always willing to share advice/recommendations for local resources needed to move our process forward at pace. With her guidance, we were able to list our home, sell it, and buy another home, all within 60 days. Lee Ann was with us every step of the way and was backed up by a stellar team, all of whom were unfailingly efficient, responsive and friendly. We cannot recommend the Lee Ann Wilkinson group highly enough and we would definitely use them again for any future real estate transactions."
