The associates here at Robinson Sotheby’s International Realty are pleased to share the news that Lee Robinson was named a “Kentucky Colonel” by the Commonwealth of Kentucky. The commission of Kentucky Colonel is the highest title of honor bestowed by the Governor of Kentucky. Lee was nominated by his good friend, Bill Butler, Chairman and CEO of Corporex Companies LLC. It is entirely appropriate that Bill be the one to nominate Lee as these two fellows are cut from the same cloth.
Bill’s story: From a one-man construction shop, (the W.P. Butler Construction company), Bill built up Corporex into a diversified real estate company with more than $1 billion of real estate assets. Mr. Butler is dedicated to community service and fiduciary responsibility to shareholders. He founded The Butler Foundation and Life Learning Center. Presently, he serves on the Board of Directors for United Way of Greater Cincinnati, Lindner Center of HOPE, Dan Beard Council of the Boy Scouts of America, and The Butler Foundation.
Lee’s story: Lee began his career like the hundreds of others who become real estate agents every year. Unlike many of his fellow agents, Lee threw himself into every aspect of real estate. His intense desire to acquire knowledge is reflected in his subsequent education. Lee has earned the most educational designations of any area real estate agent. He is now one of the most knowledgeable, experienced and productive professionals in the entire State of Ohio.
Lee opened his own brokerage in 1986 and did business as Robinson Realtors until 2010, when Sotheby’s International Realty sought him out to become the local affiliate in Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky.
