Lee & Associates was founded in 1979 in City of Industry, California — right here in the heart of the Southern California industrial market. What started as a single office focused on industrial real estate has grown into one of the most respected commercial brokerage networks in North America.
From the beginning, the firm was built on a broker-ownership model: the people doing the deals own the company. That structure means clients always work with experienced, invested professionals — not junior agents chasing quotas.
"We built Lee & Associates on the belief that brokers who own their firm serve their clients better. That principle hasn't changed in 45 years."
— Lee & Associates Founding Principle
Every Lee & Associates office is owned and operated by its brokers. That means the person advising you has a personal stake in doing right by you — their reputation and livelihood depend on it.
With 75+ offices across the U.S. and Canada, Lee & Associates combines local market depth with national resources. Our SoCal team draws on this network for market intelligence, investor relationships, and deal flow.
Lee & Associates was born in industrial real estate and it remains a core strength. From distribution centers and cold storage to flex industrial and manufacturing facilities, it's what we know best.
Lee & Associates has built its 45-year reputation on straightforward, ethical representation. We don't chase transactions — we build relationships that keep clients coming back for every deal.
Our brokers have access to proprietary market data, transaction histories, and economic research that inform every recommendation — so you go into negotiations with a clear edge.
Founded in City of Industry, CA, Lee & Associates has deep roots in the Southern California market. Our SoCal Industrial Team has decades of relationships with owners, tenants, and developers across the Inland Empire and LA Basin.
Lee & Associates operates across major markets in the United States and Canada, giving clients access to resources and intelligence far beyond a single market.
