Lee Ann Wade brings a rare, integrated approach to real estate — one built on nearly three decades of deep roots in the Los Gatos community and a genuine passion for helping people feel at home, in every sense of the word.
A Los Gatos resident for over 30 years, Lee Ann has watched this community grow and change while holding onto the character that makes it special. That long-term perspective, paired with her background as a marketing executive and entrepreneur, gives her clients a distinct advantage: sharp market insight delivered with the warmth of someone who genuinely knows the neighborhoods, schools, and streets she's helping you navigate.
Lee Ann's connection to the local market goes beyond her professional life. She brings hands-on experience with buy-and-hold real estate investing in the Los Gatos area, giving her a firsthand understanding of property evaluation and long-term value — the instincts of an owner, not just an agent. That perspective translates directly into the guidance she offers clients, whether they're buying their first home or building a long-term investment portfolio of their own.
What truly sets Lee Ann apart is her integrated, three-business approach to real estate. In partnership with her husband — a third-generation Los Gatos home builder — she offers clients seamless support that goes far beyond a typical transaction: finding the right home, building or customizing it to fit your life, and getting fully settled and organized once you're there. It's a full-circle experience, one trusted partner for every stage of home — from house hunting through move-in day and beyond.
Lee Ann studied at Mills College before building a career that spans marketing, entrepreneurship, and hands-on experience in residential construction, real estate investing, and professional organizing. That varied background shows up in the way she works: strategic, detail-oriented, and deeply attentive to what actually makes a house feel like home.
Lee Ann is an active member of the Silicon Valley Association of Realtors (SILVAR).
When she's not with clients, Lee Ann can usually be found exploring the trails and downtown shops of Los Gatos, spending time outdoors with family, or playing pickleball and mahjong with friends.
For Lee Ann, the most gratifying part of this work is watching a family go from overwhelmed to fully settled — seeing a house become a home, and knowing she was the steady, trusted partner who helped make that happen at every step.
