Lee Portella Realtor

After moving to Carlsbad shortly before lockdowns began, in 2021 we found ourselves with just 60 days to vacate our rental home. Luckily, we found "The Real Estate Fella" for our new home search! Lee was great to work with at every step of the journey of buying our first single-family home. We looked at dozens of homes in Carlsbad and San Marcos, and put down many offers in the hot summer market. Lee looked out for every little detail and preference, and was a persistent advocate for our family finding just the right home for us. And we did it! Thanks, Lee!

I could not have asked for a better realtor than Lee Portella. Not only did he help me sell my property, but he also helped me to manage my entire move. I was traveling extensively for work while my house was on the market and Lee helped manage every detail of the sale including my furniture. His dedication and professionalism was second to none and he is compassionate and willing to go the extra mile. His passion for what he does is reflected in his work and I am grateful I had him on my side during this stressful period in my life. If I buy and sell another property there is no one else I would consider.

I knew very little about real estate when I first met Lee. All I knew was that I was looking for a home where my husband and I could start our family. During our first conversation with Lee I could tell how thoughtful and intentional he was, and how determined he was to find the perfect home for us. He chased every lead we sent him, responded to every text and email within minutes, and patiently answered each and every question we asked. His thorough research and knowledge of the market assured us we were making the right decision. Lee helped us find our perfect home and we are forever grateful! I recommend Lee to everyone looking to buy or sell their home.

We found Lee through Realtor.com and we are glad we did. He has been a partner that we can trust for an honest opinion and real guidance through a crazy real estate market. Lee's been incredibly easy to work with and we'd recommend him to anyone looking for an agent.

While looking for a home for the first time I found a listing on Zillow that put me in touch with Lee Portella, hands down the best connection/person I could have asked for. From the very beginning Lee was extremely kind, professional,informative, and all around awesome. He got in touch within hours where he had various listings for my mom and I to take a look at. He seemed to know everything about all of the properties that he took us to and answered literally ALL of our questions! Right from the very beginning I knew that Lee was the right realtor for us! Lee was very attentive to our likes and dislikes and quickly narrowed it down to one that we are absolutely in love with. I would 100% recommend Lee, as we had a great and streamlined home buying experience.
