I'm Clay Lee. I help Northern Virginia families buy, sell and move at the right time.

For 15 years, the last three as manager, Clay has worked with families at their hardest moments: a parent who can no longer manage the stairs, a spouse who suddenly needs care, savings that have to stretch further. That work taught him to listen first, plan for what's coming rather than only for today, and keep many people moving in the same direction: family members, nurses, caregivers. A move later in life needs exactly that. He knows which homes will still work in ten years (a bedroom and full bath on the entry level, a way in with no steps, laundry off the stairs, family and hospitals close by), how senior tax relief works, and how to time a sale and purchase so you move once.

Thoroughly, and the same day. He pulls recent sales from Bright MLS and checks what sellers really kept after closing credits, works out the real property tax you'll pay, reads the HOA or condo documents, and checks school boundaries, flood maps and planned roads or buildings nearby. He builds the market numbers on this site himself, for every ZIP code in Northern Virginia, so his advice comes from data, not guesses.

Clay earned his degree in broadcasting and communication and spent 20 years as a radio anchor and station manager at WKBC in Annandale. On air and running a station, he learned to stay calm, listen closely and make a point clearly and quickly. In a negotiation that means well-written offers, a good working relationship with the other agent, and presenting your strengths in a way the other side wants to say yes to, without letting emotions run the deal.

Yes. After showings and during negotiations, Clay asks the other agent directly for their candid feedback and passes it on to you as he heard it, even when it's not what you hoped. If a price is too high, a home has a problem or an offer isn't strong enough, you'll hear it from him early, while there's still time to act.

You. Clay treats every client the way he would want his own family treated: your goals come first, he keeps your information private, and he'll never push you into a home or a price you're not comfortable with. If walking away is the better choice, he'll tell you. That's why many of his past clients have come back to him for their next home and sent their friends and family to him.

Clay has helped buyers and sellers in Northern Virginia since 2005, with 51 closed sales recorded in Bright MLS through 2024. He's licensed in Virginia with Proplocate Realty, LLC in Falls Church.
