About Lee

Lee Murphy with Washington Fine Properties

Lee specializes in representing buyers and sellers of premier homes in the Washington metropolitan region. With nearly $500 million in career sales and twenty three years as a real estate agent in the District, Maryland, and Virginia, she has represented clients in every field and all price ranges. Lee is proud of the fact that her clients return to her time and again when they decide to purchase or sell another home.

Lee is ranked in the top 1.5% of all agents nationwide by the national firm, RealTrends Verified. The Washingtonian magazine has named her a “Top Producing Agent” since the award’s inception in 2015. In 2024 and in 2017, she was named to the “100 Best Agents” list by the Washingtonian, a merit-based distinction based on surveys with other Realtors, industry professionals and Washingtonian subscribers. She has previously been named a “Top Producer” by Bethesda Magazine.

Lee has been with Washington Fine Properties [WFP] since 2012. WFP is widely recognized as one of the most successful, locally-owned, carriage trade real estate firms in the United States. The firm registers a sales volume of over $3 billion annually.

Lee’s record places her among the very top Realtors in the Mid-Atlantic region. Her insistence on professional service has earned her many accolades, but most importantly, it has produced a client base of satisfied homeowners who refer her to their friends and colleagues. Her dedication to maintaining these life-long relationships underscores her business philosophy: providing her clients with expert knowledge, savvy guidance, skilled negotiation, and personal integrity.

Lee moved to Washington in the late 1990s and worked for Members of Congress in communications. Prior to that, she spent a number of years working in Europe, Asia and the Middle East. A native sixth generation Texan, Lee received her undergraduate degree in International Studies and French from Austin College and the American University in Cairo. She received her Master of Arts degree from the Center for Middle Eastern Studies at the University of Texas at Austin.

Lee’s community involvement and volunteer work include serving as a former Board Member for the National Women’s History Museum (NWHM) and Co-Chair of the Women Making History Awards for the NWHM. She is a former Chair of the Board of HumanitiesDC, a Sustainer Member of the Junior League of Washington, former President of the Gardeners of the Junior League, and a member of the Daughters of the American Revolution, among other organizations.

Lee resides in Upper Northwest DC, and practices out of the Georgetown office of WFP.

Lee is great! We worked with Lee and Jackelyn on a recent purchase in Woodley Park and couldn't have been happier with the experience. Both are extremely smart and excellent communicators. We felt in good hands all the way.

Lee is the best there is, and it's why we keep returning to her. Recently, she and her associate Jackelyn were incredibly supportive through all stages of purchasing the home of our dreams. Lee is extremely experienced and dedicated to her clients, going above and beyond to secure their interests. Thank you for everything, Lee and Jackelyn!

Lee Murphy and her team are simply the best. They get it done for sellers (and buyers) every single time. I trust Lee's judgement and appreciate the personal approach she and her team take to make the sale or purchase of a home as painless as possible.
