Biography

Luke is a Principal and top producer at Lee & Associates – Orange, Inc., specializing in industrial real estate throughout North Orange County and the surrounding submarkets. He represents landlords, tenants, buyers, sellers and investors, bringing expert guidance to every stage of a transaction.   Luke became a Principal in record time—less than three years after joining the firm—marking one of the fastest paths to partnership since the office opened in 1983. His relentless work ethic, resilience under pressure, and approachable demeanor have earned him consistent recognition as a top performer in the Orange office.   Before entering commercial real estate, Luke was a Major League Baseball pitcher. Drafted in the fourth round out of the University of Tennessee by the Colorado Rockies, he later played for the Cincinnati Reds and Kansas City Royals, reaching the majors in 2002 and continuing through 2009. After a second shoulder surgery ended his baseball career, Luke transitioned into brokerage just four months later—bringing with him the same discipline, tenacity, and competitive edge that defined his time on the mound.   That same competitive spirit now fuels Luke’s success in commercial real estate. With a strong reputation among industry peers and deep knowledge of the market, he’s skilled at identifying opportunities and navigating complex transactions with confidence and clarity. His well-established relationships with other brokers often lead to early insights and strategic positioning—allowing his clients to make informed decisions ahead of the broader market.
