Testimonials

Jerry Dahl, REALTOR®
“Since I started with Lyon Real Estate two years ago, I have always appreciated the comfortable atmosphere among all agents regardless of their level of success. Fellow agents, along with the incredible staff and management, have allowed me to learn and succeed while not ever feeling like I was imposing on them. When I have had questions, they have been willingly answered. I truly enjoy working in this environment!”
 
Jeff DeGray, REALTOR®
“I initially joined on with the Fair Oaks East Office because of the warm and inviting work atmosphere. Although everyone in the work room seems to be very busy most of the time, I have never had an experience when anyone has been too busy to help. We all compete with one another, but no Realtor seems to view any of the others as a threat to their success. I can't imagine a better office to work for!”
John Quinn, REALTOR®
“Each morning when I walk through the office door I know I will be met with warmth and friendliness. It's reassuring to know I can ask anyone in the office for assistance on any matter. In addition to these benefits is the wealth of knowledge I can tap into from not only the management, but staff and all the other agents. It's been a pleasure to work at the Lyon Fair Oaks office for 20 years.”
Toddy Schultz, REALTOR®

Paul Brecher, REALTOR®
The “Fair Oaks” office is head and shoulders above all others in our region.

In my 30 years of Real Estate sales the experience of the agents as a group does no tell the whole story of friendship, and camaraderie that exists.  All of these strengths create professional service for clients and the support of each other among our daily activities.  Our office is one strength and value for all lives we touch professionally and individually in the community we serve.
 

Sally Dunbar, REALTOR®
There is honestly no where else I would rather work than at Lyon Fair Oaks.  

Carol is a Kamikaze Manager, and works her tail off to come up with new systems for our success.  She makes it fun and exciting to be a realtor, and if you want tools, she’s got them.  She is truly unparalleled as a manager.  Our office is amazing, too.  We all help each other, and have such a culture of sharing, support and help.  There is no competition – we are all one team.  And we are givers.  We are consistently the number 1 giver to the Salvation Army through the SAR Can Tree, giving over $200K in past years through our Chili Feed – a collective effort by every agent in our office.  We also support C.A.R.E. and foster boys at Christmas.  I am proud to be from this amazing office, and proud to work for the top company in town.
Robert Fling, REALTOR®
I chose the Lyon Fair Oaks West office after interviewing all the other brokers plus several Lyon offices as well.  The choice was simple.  The working environment here captures everything that Lyon embodies plus adds an agnet centric culture that stresses continuing education and guidance on a personal level.  Although this is an independent profession, the collaborative spirit flourishes with every  agent here at Fair Oaks West.  It starts with our manager, Carol Kellogg, and filters down to our mentors of which I am one.  This foundation has allowed me to grow in my professional life as well as my personal life.  This is clearly where you want to be if success is an imperative.
Pat Marland, REALTOR®
I was attracted to the Fair Oaks Office six years ago after being a Top Producer for many years with another company. The experience I have had with our office confirms, in my mind, I made an excellent decision back then in joining your office. For an experienced agent, there are lots of opportunities for leadership. For a newer agent, what a GREAT office to be in, to observe all of the professionalism and to learn from all the workshops every week. The Fair Oaks Office is an outstanding office to be a part of.

Margaret "Marg" Graf, REALTOR®
“I have had a successful Real Estate career in the Lyon office since 1988.  This is by far the best office for a Real Estate professional I have ever encountered, and I have seen a lot!  The quality of realtors, staff and management has always been exceptional.  We have a special spirit of cooperation, encouragement and involvement that provides for a wonderful work environment.  Dedication and commitment to our clients and Community makes this an unparallel office in the Sacramento region.  Whether you are a buyer, seller or fellow Realtor, give us a try; you will be AMAZED!!!”
Dennis Johnson, REALTOR®
When I joined Lyon in 1994 I did so because of the experience and professionalism of the agents and staff.  That is why I am still affiliated with this great locally owned company. I enjoy going to work in an environment where the company suggests but doesn’t push us to do our business a certain way.  The high energy and positive attitude of Lyon agents is beyond comparison in our community, and a helping hand is always available from our fellow agents and staff.  I really believe that Lyon Real Estate will continue to be the leader in the local Real Estate community for years to come.
Shale Levine, REALTOR®
In June of 2007 I received my license to sell real estate and hung my hat with a small independent broker.  I soon found that I really did not know much about what I was doing.  I eventually started a search for an agency where I could get training.  After coming to the Fair Oaks office and meeting the agents I knew Lyon had a lot to offer.   The defining moment of coming to Lyon was due to Dianne Keck the office receptionist.  What a great introduction to a great company, Dianne along with the agents there made me feel like I had found a home.  The training is beyond what I expected and the camaraderie between agents and managers is beyond reproach.
Mary London, REALTOR®
Why have I been with LYON for 26 years?  I have been selling homes, in the NE Sacramento Valley area for 38+ years, since my twenties (please don't do the math ;-).  I have specialized in unique, architecturally-designed homes AND wonderful Buyers who want secure investment advice in their residential acquisitions, whether first-timers, mover-up or investors. My sales are nearly all repeat and/or referral-based. THIS is why I have always worked for independently-owned, rock-solid real estate companies like LYON Real Estate. Because, I CAN go to the TOP, for problems needing a stronger voice and high profile to effect solutions. You see, the TOP listens, aren't just figureheads and suits. They're real people. People that care, share their family, invest in the local Community and yes, even make mistakes. But they're REAL, they're here in my neighborhood, they care about me, my success and my clients AND they're big enough to endure the storms, the ebbs and flows of the markets.

THIS is the stability my clients want; therefore this is why I remain a Lyon Real Estate agent today.  Furthermore, I'm delighted that Larry Knapp, a known leader in local, California AND national Real Estate circles, is at the helm of the Lyon Company, assisting the Lyon Family, and this team of quality Agents, in continuing their role as a Business leader in the four Counties of the Sacramento Valley.
