What Is Real Producers Magazine?

Real Producers is a national real estate publication that celebrates outstanding real estate professionals and shares the stories behind their success.

Unlike traditional real estate magazines focused primarily on properties, Real Producers highlights the agents, industry leaders, and entrepreneurs making an impact in their local real estate communities.

Its Northern Virginia edition, NOVA Real Producers, showcases accomplished agents throughout the region and connects leading professionals through publications, industry events, and networking opportunities.

Being featured as a Rising Star represents an important milestone for Chris Lee, recognizing his growing presence and accomplishments in Northern Virginia real estate.

Among the Top 0.5% of 22,000 Realtors in the DMV

One of Chris Lee's most notable achievements is ranking among the top 0.5% of approximately 22,000 real estate agents in the DMV region.

This distinction places Chris among a highly competitive group of top-performing Realtors serving Washington, D.C., Northern Virginia, and Maryland.

For Chris, this achievement is not simply about rankings or sales volume. It represents the trust his clients have placed in him and the relationships he has developed through years of dedicated service.

His commitment to understanding each client's goals, providing strategic advice, and delivering personalized service has been instrumental in his success.

From CPA to One of Northern Virginia's Top Realtors

Before entering the real estate industry, Chris built his professional foundation as a Certified Public Accountant (CPA).

His experience in accounting, finance, and business strategy provides a unique advantage when helping clients navigate complex real estate decisions.

Whether advising homeowners on pricing strategies, evaluating renovation investments, or helping buyers understand long-term property values, Chris approaches real estate with both financial expertise and market knowledge.

As the founder of Simon Homes, he has built his business around one fundamental principle:

"Putting People First."

That philosophy continues to guide the team's approach to real estate, emphasizing integrity, transparency, and lasting relationships.

$25 Million in 2025 and Projected $30 Million in 2026

Chris Lee's individual real estate production reflects his remarkable growth.

In 2025, Chris achieved approximately $25 million in individual closed sales volume.

Building on this momentum, his individual production is projected to reach $30 million in 2026, representing approximately 20% year-over-year growth.

While these numbers reflect strong business performance, Chris believes the true measure of success is the number of families he has helped achieve their real estate goals.

From first-time homebuyers to experienced homeowners and real estate investors, he is committed to providing each client with attentive service and thoughtful guidance.
