What has been your biggest challenge or obstacle in your particular role? How have you overcome those obstacles? There are two roles I play: broker and office leader. I have always had a passion for real estate, specifically the development side, and love to take a piece of property and help shape a vision for what could be. I've played the broker role for 15 years and feel comfortable here. Three years ago, I was asked to open the Lee & Associates office in Raleigh-Durham. My official management experience was zero, but I understood the importance of culture and giving your team a voice. I've built off those pillars and have a team that buys into those guiding principles. Our office is now the second largest commercial real estate company in Raleigh-Durham. I still wear both broker and office leader hats – which comes with challenges – but it's becoming easier with time and a solid team.
