Lee is an accomplished real estate broker who created the business model of Heart to Heart Real Estate that is changing the community by giving a portion of commissions to local charitable organizations that are designated by their clients. Since 2013, Heart to Heart Real Estate has given close to $600,000 to over 50 nonprofits and charities.

After earning a Bachelor of Art degree in English from Whittier College in Los Angeles, Lee returned home to Chicago to assist with her family’s commercial development company; continuing her education and career in real estate.

The members of the commission are appointed by the San Luis Obispo County Board of Supervisors: serving as an advisory group since 1975. The local CSW is also affiliated with the state and national organization.
