Meet Our Team
Meet Milestone Collective. We believe real estate is about people first.
Buying or selling a home represents a major life milestone—and it deserves more than a transactional experience. That’s why Milestone Collective was created: a team aligned in mission and vision, committed to serving our clients with intention, care, and excellence through every season of change.
With over 20 years of combined real estate experience, our award winning team is thoughtfully structured to ensure you feel supported, informed, and genuinely cared for from beginning to end. Every role is designed with purpose—so nothing is overlooked and everything feels seamless.
Because at the end of the day, it’s not just about the move.
It’s about the people we have the privilege to walk alongside.
Meet The Milestone Team

Jennifer Scarlett Lee
Team Lead
Jennifer earned her B.A. in Political Science from Seattle Pacific University (quite a few years ago!). She began her career on Capitol Hill in Washington, D.C., before returning to the Pacific Northwest to work in marketing while starting a family. Jennifer and her husband, Jordan—high school sweethearts—both grew up in the greater Seattle area.
In 2017, they moved to Columbus, Ohio, when Jordan accepted a pastoral role at a multi-site church. Today, Jennifer and Jordan stay busy with their two children, two dogs, and their meaningful experience fostering three children.
Jennifer loves spending time with family and friends, jogging, enjoying great food, and—when time allows—binge-watching shows with a stash of Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups close by.
She considers it a true privilege to guide clients through the home buying and selling process, always aiming to meet and exceed expectations along the way. Jennifer would love the opportunity to get to know you and support you in your next move.

Liz Alecusan
Operations & Administrative Coordinator
Liz is the Operations & Administrative Coordinator for Milestone Collective—and if something is organized, scheduled, streamlined, or running smoothly, chances are she’s behind it. She supports the team across multiple areas and takes pride in keeping everything (and everyone) on track.
After a career filled with administrative and leadership responsibilities, Liz decided to take early retirement… which lasted approximately four months. Turns out, she wasn’t finished serving. Now she brings her experience, heart for people, and love of organization to help ensure every home purchase and sale flows as smoothly as possible while supporting the team in all they do.
Liz believes serving others is both a calling and a joy. She values the opportunity to love people well and to reflect the love of Jesus in each interaction—something she considers a true honor and privilege.
Liz and her husband met at The Ohio State University and never found a reason to leave Columbus. They have six grown children, nine grandchildren, and are embracing the beauty of empty nesting—especially when it includes grandkid visits, lots of fun, and returning them home fully sugared and smiling. They both serve on the board of Patches of Light, a nonprofit organization that assists families with children facing catastrophic health issues and financial hardship. This organization touches the heart of who they are as they have walked a similar journey.

Jen made our home buying process effortless, adjusting to our preference changes and answering endless questions at the drop of a hat. We can not thank Jennifer enough for the amount of time she put aside for us, researching and showing homes at all times and days of the week. 10/10 would HIGHLY recommend Jen for all your home buying and selling, she’s truly a rockstar!”

“Jen is amazing! She made buying a house in a chaotic time so easy and so much fun. She does whatever she can to make sure you are getting what you need and that you are supported throughout the entire process. Working with Jen has been such a joy and I am so thankful my husband and I were able to walk through this memorable season with someone like her!”
Olivia M.
“Marie's experience and professionalism made this sale an absolute breeze. She was personally involved with each step in the process. From decisions before the sale to staging and showing and finally the closing process, she took all of my stress on to her own shoulders. She was also responsive to my calls as questions came up. When it came to choosing our best offer, Marie was absolutely correct in her recommendations which resulted in a final sale way beyond my best predictions. I would highly recommend Marie as your next real estate agent!”
Mike N
“Jennifer is the absolute BEST! She is the hardest working, most determined, most persistent and sweetest realtor! She drove over an hour away to sell our house and hired professional photographers to capture the best angles of our home. Between her connections and the level of excellence she brought to our listing, we sold our home over ask after receiving multiple offers on the first day of showings! She also helped us find our next house in the craziest market. Thanks to her out-of-the-box ideas and persistence in communicating with the seller’s agent, our very first offer was accepted! If you’re looking for the full package, Jen is it!”
Megan F.
“Marie was wonderful to work with! We bought a house without personally viewing it with her help. She was kind, responsive, and honest about what she saw. She was attentive to every step in the process, guiding us with her knowledge of the market and her years of experience. Marie is the best!”
Emma A
“After buying and selling a few houses before, I understood the importance of finding the right realtor. Not only did I find a great realtor, but I found someone who understood the enormous task of selling a house after living in it for almost two decades. Jen answered or found the answers to all of my questions. She went above and beyond when it came to advertising my house. Her professionalism and knowledge of the market was undeniable. The closing and transition was uncomplicated and easy. My house went on the market on a Friday and the next morning the house was sold. Thank you Jennifer Lee! You are by far the best Realtor anyone could have!”
Bev D.
“Jen made our first-time home buying process an absolute blast! She is so knowledgeable and will do whatever it takes to help you find exactly what you are looking for. My wife and I are so glad we ended up choosing Jen as our realtor. She is one of the most hardworking and trustworthy people I know and I highly recommend using her skills and expertise for buying or selling your home!”
Jackson M.
“Marie was so helpful and knowledgeable both in listing our home and helping us search for a new one. Always happy to answer questions and walk us through the process step by step. She went above and beyond to make this transaction as easy as possible.”
Kelly E
“Working with Marie was wonderful. Marie was able to anticipate what we needed before we did. While working with her we had 9 showings and multiple offers after the first day of the market. Marie was able to help us navigate the challenges of the real estate market with professionalism and outstanding customer service (no less than 25 texts on my part per day) anytime we needed her. I highly recommend her.”
Mary S
“Hands down best experience going with Jennifer as our listing realtor! She listened to our every concern, helped us stage the home, and even offered to help clean! The listing photos were top quality- see pics. We truly appreciated her responsiveness with every step of the listing/selling process. We ended up getting multiple offers, and sold way above asking. We have never had a realtor who was so helpful! Would recommend Jennifer highly!”
Nina T.
"Jenn was so supportive and immensely patient with all of our “first time home buying” questions. She works quickly and is very thoughtful!"
Abigail B.
“We have used Marie as our realtor for over 12 years. One quality we love about her is that she was always available to us whenever we had questions or concerns about anything. Buying/selling houses and moving can be a stressful process. Marie has a way of coming along side our family and making the process actually enjoyable. I loved looking at houses together. She is also very willing to listen, she is honest, and she is open to changing the plans if necessary. We listed a house and then decided to take it off the market and wait a year to relist it. She was not the least bit upset with us. We have used other realtors when Marie was working at her children's school, but honestly none can compare. I am overjoyed that she is back in real estate. We will definitely use her for the sale of our present house in the next seven years and the purchase of our forever home. We adore this lady and we highly recommend her as your realtor.”
