Overview
Lee & Associates’ about page says Bill Lee opened the first office in Orange County, California in 1979, and that each office is owned and operated by its real estate professionals. The page lists commercial real estate brokerage, property management, valuation, asset management and finance. It lists a Phoenix opening in 1991 and does not give a street address. The Downtown Los Angeles contact page lists 1201 North Main Street, Los Angeles, CA 90012. Other Los Angeles offices were not read.
The SIOR Arizona member directory lists multiple members at Lee & Associates | Arizona, 5090 N. 40th Street, Suite 200, Phoenix, AZ 85018, including Peter Batschelet, William Blake, Andrew Cheney, Jeff Conrad and R. Craig Coppola. Those records are one chapter directory, not a firm-wide census. City hubs list offices read on the firm’s own pages, so this address is not on the Phoenix hub.
Two sourced criteria produce the 9.0 score: professional directory at 10 points and weight 20 and years in business at 10 points and weight 20. Evidence: Moderate. Criteria without a source stay out of the math.

Math: 400 weighted points ÷ 40 (the weight of the sourced criteria) = 10.0, then capped at 9.0 / 10 because exactly two criteria are sourced. A 10.0 needs at least three sourced criteria. Evidence: Moderate. Criteria without a source are left out of the denominator. This is the boutique rubric, not the filing rubric used for the six national firms, and the two are not comparable.

Methodology and sources
Method note and sources
This score uses the boutique public-evidence rubric: state license (25), professional directory (20), verifiable transactions (20), years in business (20) and public reviews (15). A number is published only when at least two criteria have a source and at least one of those sources is independent of the firm. With exactly two sourced criteria the score is capped at 9.0; a 10.0 needs at least three. Self-reported career totals and review claims we have not read are not inputs.
