Founder & Team Lead

Lee has the distinction of being one of the most skilled and successful brokers in the real estate industry helping clients to buy and sell homes nationally and globally with her far-reaching network. With over 25 years of global real estate experience with Sotheby's International Realty, in 2018 Lee brought her expertise and international contact list to Compass.  

Based in NYC, she specializes in Manhattan’s luxury co-op, condo, townhouse, and new development markets, as well as representing investors around the globe in the purchase, sale, lease, and management of their real estate investments.   Lee is regularly invited by major banks such as Goldman Sachs, JP Morgan, and HSBC to speak on the global real estate market to their investors.

Since joining Compass, Lee formed the successful Summers Global Team, currently comprised of 16 leading real estate professionals throughout the world representing clientele ranging from international executives and investors to global entertainers. SGT has members across the Compass network domestically in New York, Florida, Aspen, and California along with partners in London, Spain, France, Italy, Portugal, Dubai, and ASIA.. Each team member, invited by Lee to join, specializes in their specific cities and regions. The team's appreciation for privacy and considerable transaction history have made The Summers Global Team a trusted asset for those looking to sell, purchase or rent around the globe.

In the Summer of 2022, given the growing number and needs of our diversified and prestigious client portfolio, the new SGT WINERY AND VINEYARD COLLECTION was formed specializing in wineries for sale in the French, Spanish, Portuguese, Italian, and Northern California wine areas.  Our team of experts advises owners on selling their wineries and vineyards and also consults with buyers looking to purchase.

Lee believes in using her extensive worldwide network to its fullest extent. She works with brokers and clients both nationally and internationally. Her clients have included European royal families, international art collectors, and leaders in the business and government sectors. She is known for her travels throughout the world and her wide-ranging contact list. Her travels consist of visiting and meeting with financial advisors, buyers, sellers and reconnecting with her clients discussing her informed perspective of the real estate market.
