 Lee Davies Real Estate gets a new home
In March 2007, Lee Davies Real Estate purchased the building at 9200 SW Barnes Road. Conveniently located across the street from the main entrance to St. Vincent Hospital and in the center of our market area, this facility will serve as the flagship for our company.
With the help of LRS Architects, WRG Design and Yorke & Curtis Contractors, ground was broken for an extensive renovation this past January. When complete, our state of the art new home will capture the lure of the Pacific Northwest and will represent our vision to be the best full service Boutique Real Estate firm focusing on the West Hills, Sunset Corridor and West Suburban markets.
