First Response Real Estate

Lee & Christina Bentley

First Response at LPT Realty was built on a foundation of action, integrity, and mission-driven service. After careers in law enforcement and fire rescue, Lee and Christina Bentley chose to take that same sense of duty and leadership into real estate, creating a team culture where agents are supported, challenged, and never alone.

We believe in doing real estate the right way: with strong systems, a clear plan, and a heart for people. As part of LPT Realty, we equip our agents with unmatched technology, generous compensation, and the flexibility to grow a business that funds the life they want.

Just like in our first careers, we still show up for others. If you’re ready to grow in a place built on trust, action, and accountability, you belong here.
