Jay Lee | San Diego Realtor | VA Loan Specialist | U.S. Navy Veteran

Jay Lee is a San Diego-based Realtor and U.S. Navy veteran with 20 years of active duty service and over seven years of experience in residential real estate. He specializes in VA home loans and military relocation, serving active duty service members, veterans, and military families throughout San Diego County.

Jay is licensed under Military Mutual and operates The Lee Home Team, built specifically around the needs of the military community. His clients include buyers and sellers near MCAS Miramar, Naval Base San Diego, Naval Air Station North Island, and Camp Pendleton.

Why military families choose Jay

Most real estate agents understand VA loans in theory. Jay understands them from the inside. As a retired Navy veteran who has lived and raised his three sons in San Diego, he knows what it means to navigate a PCS move, buy a home on a military timeline, and make the VA benefit work in a competitive market.

He started his real estate career flipping and building homes before transitioning into full-time representation. He has since owned and operated multiple businesses, and he brings that same systems-driven mindset to every transaction. His approach is straightforward: prepare thoroughly, negotiate hard, and communicate clearly so clients always know where they stand.

Who Jay works with

Jay works primarily with three groups: veterans and active duty buyers using VA loans, first-time home buyers navigating the San Diego market for the first time, and move-up buyers ready to leverage equity into their next home.

If you are asking "who is the best VA loan agent in San Diego," the honest answer is someone who has lived the military life, knows the San Diego market deeply, and has a track record of closing difficult transactions. That is what Jay brings to every client.

San Diego is home

Jay has called San Diego home for years. His connection to this city is not professional; it is personal. His sons grew up here. He understands the neighborhoods, the school zones, the commute patterns from the bases, and the market dynamics that shift block by block across this city.

Get in touch

If you are a veteran, active duty service member, or military family looking to buy or sell in San Diego, Jay would be glad to talk through your situation. There is no pressure and no obligation. Just a straight conversation from someone who has been where you are.

    Buyer Client

    Hands down, this team will work their ass off for you. Not only will they accommodate your schedule, they will go out of their way to make sure you understand every step of the home buying process. Extremely professional, Jay has experience in the real estate market that few can offer! He help my wife and I find homes to view from half way around the world (we started looking at houses from Japan before we moved to the states). This is the man you want on your side in a real estate transaction!

  • Linh H.

    Buyer Client

    I cant express how amazing Jay and his team worked. My husband ans I planned to buy next year but Jay took the time to find our home. What really helped was Jay never pressured us into buying and was knowledgeable whether it was about homes, investments, finances and even on how to get us deals on ways to renovate. Jay was also able to get us an offer 30k under the listing price. We will be buying again in two years and I highly recommend using Jay and his team. Even if it's just for info, they are there to help 200 percent

  • Michelle-Ann H.

    Buyer Client

    Amazing home buying experience. Jay Lee is as committed to ensuring we had a smooth experience as he is to his country. Very knowledgeable in the local market and not afraid to work late and go the extra mile for his clients!!! For example, I couldn't find my home inspection, a quick call to Jay and it was in my inbox. He continues to build relationships and support his clients far beyond the closing date. I will only recommend Jay as a realtor, as he provided the BEST experience!!!!

  • Shawn D

    Seller & Buyer Client

    Hands down, the Lee Home Team is the best in the business. From day one, they went above and beyond--working tirelessly to accommodate our schedule, answering every question (even late at night), and making sure we fully understood each step of the home buying process. Their dedication is unmatched. Whether you're buying your first home, selling a property, or investing in real estate, this team has you covered. They bring a level of professionalism, knowledge, and hustle that's hard to find. They spent countless weekends touring homes with us, always keeping our needs and wants front and center. When we couldn't make it out to view a home, they didn't hesitate to drive out to Jamul to record walkthroughs and keep us in the loop. Their attention to detail helped us close quickly and smoothly with a VA loan. Most recently, I had to make the difficult decision to sell the very home they helped me buy -- a decision I didn't want to make but was forced to due to a divorce. Jay stepped in and helped me through the entire process with empathy and professionalism. He marketed the home beautifully and secured a strong offer over asking price, making a tough situation much easier to navigate. This is the team you want on your side. From expert marketing on the selling side to making first-time home buying feel effortless, they handled everything with care, clarity, and confidence. Even when we hit a few bumps in the road, they kept us fully informed and calm through it all. They truly love what they do -- and it shows.
