About Owners/Broker David And Stephanie Lee

01 Jun

David Lee

I have lived in Las Vegas for over 25 yrs. and have been in real estate for over 7 years. I am a broker owner of two real estate companies and a full service mortgage company.

My philosophy on real estate is – Either buying or selling a home is a very big deal no matter the price, and therefore should be treated as such. A lot of people in this business get jaded and don’t treat each deal with as much importance as they should, especially in this market with all the bank owned homes.

I purchased my first business at age 19, It was a Laundromat and dry cleaners, and I have worked for myself ever since that first business. I got totally ripped off when I bought it and had to work twice as hard to make it successful. Obviously I was upset but in hind site it was the best thing that could of happened to me. I had to get really creative so I started the first of its kind Dry clean delivery service and started with the Howard Hughes buildings down on Paradise and Maryland Pkwy.

At the time it was the highest end office buildings in Las Vegas, so I hit there first and It was a total hit with office workers and executives, so I expanded to many different office buildings around town, bought multiple vans and a great Dry Cleaning delivery service going. After a few years I wanted more of a challenge so I and sold it for a nice profit.

After that great experience I joined my father and we opened sports books in St. Maarten (in the Netherlands Antilles) and in Costa Rica. I lived and ran the sports books in St. Maarten (on the dutch side ) for 5yrs.

During this time I opened a night club as a side business that was very successful and is still up and operating today. The hard portion of this journey was to obtain a gaming lic. in the Netherland Antilles. Through a lot of creativity and hard work after two years I finally was given my gaming license, and to this day I am the only American to hold a gaming license in the Netherland Antilles.

We had just opened our own casino and after two months of being opened the largest Hurricane to hit land hit St. Maarten and wiped everyone out, including us. So in 1997 I moved back to Las Vegas and got into what I always wanted to do, and where I knew I would be successful at, because I have a great passion for putting people in the right home at the best possible price.

With my many years of business experience, creativity and negotiation skills and being young enough to adapt with the times, I knew real estate was a perfect match for me to be happy and successful. I have never enjoyed anything more, and yes that includes owning sports books on the gorgeous island of St. Maarten living on the beach.

Its hard to believe but after many years living on a island like that, you miss conveniences like having big grocery stores, good gyms to work out and not driving across the island every time you need gas. Now that I have been back here for many years I do miss living on the beach. I know this is my last career and will be in real estate forever, I truly do love making people happy and having the ability to do it very well.
