Sharon Thompson

Sharon Thompson has been with Lester Realty since 2001. Many already know that Sharon is Nancy's daughter, and also originally from New Castle County. Sharon relocated to Sussex County in 1997, where she worked in a medical facility for several years, then a local community center where she was introduced to Ed Lester. The rest, as they say, is history. Since 2001, Sharon has been working on the "behind the scenes" aspects of Lester Realty, with things like advertising, updating tools and technology, managing the rental accounts, and supervising the legal documents, contracts, closings, and a all of the other items that assure quality in our transactions. Sharon is a licensed REALTOR(R), and currently the assistant to Broker Ed Lester, and prides herself at being available as a helping hand to both clients and staff. Sharon lives in the heart of the Town of Georgetown with her husband Brian, and their two sons. Although she's always available to help Lester Realty staff and clients, Sharon's time away from the office is spent riding her sport bike, spending time with her family, drawing and sketching, and enjoying the warmer seasons outdoors, either at home or at our beautiful beaches.
