In 1977, Harold Crye and Dick Leike founded a company that they promised would make a difference – results-oriented, professional and dedicated to providing the utmost in service to the people it helped. Beginning from the ground up, the two men have built an entity that was once a small shop and is today one of the top 10 real estate companies in the nation, with more than 3,500 sales associates and 600 employees in 100 branch offices across the Southeast. In keeping with the entrepreneurial spirit, Crye-Leike has also expanded to become a full-service real-estate firm, offering everything from mortgage banking facilities to a home improvement division. Today, Harold Crye dedicates his time to numerous civic interests.
