"​I have been associated with Lee Fleming for two years now. Lee has always been very helpful, giving me a lot of time to take informed decisions. He goes out of his way to make the client get all possible information, and he does not stop at that, he is more than willing to lend a helping hand after the exchange or sale goes through......."
