ZillowVERIFIEDIt's a strong vote of confidence when you use an agent 3 times! When it was time to sell my Mar Vista home, I knew Ray was the right choice. His advice and suggestions during the recent process made the transaction essentially effortless on my part. Ray coordinated everything: a light touch-up of the property with a handyman, had it staged beautifully, then finally worked his contacts for advance previews. The results paid off. In a challenging market, we fielded multiple offers with several over-asking. Westside RE buyers can be finicky and make last minute changes, but Ray handled that with grace and patience. His 5 stars are well earned!

ZillowVERIFIEDI can recommend Ray Lyon and Alex Enriquez unequivocally for all your real estate needs. At the age of 99 my Mom, who was a hoarder, passed away. I live in a different state and from my very first phone conversation with the team I was confident they would be able to help me in so many ways. From getting 96 pieces of artwork appraised, to meeting tenants to pick up keys and do final walkthroughs, Ray and Alex made this painful time so much easier for me to navigate. In total, they sold four very different pieces of property, from a 6 unit apartment building, to my childhood home, to two other rentals my Mom and I owned. They were able to keep my costs to a minimum, and knew exactly which repairs were necessary to achieve maximum profits. Their knowledge of all the complicated landlord laws, especially in Santa Monica, was extensive. They have an outstanding crew behind them including a handyman, a staging company, and an escrow company which are as attentive and cost conscious as they are. They work very long hours and will frequently answer calls up hntil 11PM which is great for a night owl like me. Not only are they fantastic realtors, but they are genuinely really nice guys. They took the time to get to know me and worked quickly to help me achieve my goals. Should you decide to hire Ray and Alex you will have absolutely no regrets.

ZillowVERIFIEDRay was the best agent we have ever worked with and we have lived all over the world! Working with Ray was alike having an excellent business partner. We were always on the same page, his communication skills are excellent and his strategic selling skills are absolutely brilliant. He helped us prepare the final touches to our home and gave us solid advice through the process. He was always available and an absolute pleasure to work with through out the sale. We felt we had expert guidance as we prepared the home, looked at offers and then finally concluded the sale. He's just the best there is!

ZillowVERIFIEDRay did a truly fantastic job helping us sell our home. His expertise and professionalism are second to none. He came prepared with detailed knowledge of our neighborhood and our home during our initial consult. His communication with us was excellent. Ray returned our texts and messages almost immediately. During the pre and post staging process, Ray was exceptional in pay attention to detail. He was instrumental in making sure the garden and garbage was taken care of while we were on vacation. And lastly, he handled the multiple offers magnificently! Overall Ray has demonstrated his easy-going kind and relatable style throughout the entire selling process. We are extremely satisfied and happy with his performance and would not have wanted anyone else!

ZillowVERIFIEDWe are grateful to have found Ray to handle the sale of our Santa Monica condominium. We found him to be smart, honest, reliable and diligent. In our first meeting he guided us on timing and rather than rushing us into a sale, he suggested we wait for the best season to put it on the market. He worked with us on a pricing strategy which turned out to be optimal as it attracted multiple offers. We actually moved out of the country before listing it and Ray was able to take care of everything without us there. We felt he did a beautiful job in staging. In the end our sale price was substantially more than we expected and we were able to close cleanly despite some difficulties our buyer's lender encountered that were not anyone's fault but which Ray helped to resolve. We highly recommend Ray to anyone thinking of selling their property.

ZillowVERIFIEDRay Lyon amazed us with his energy and market savvy. Escrow closed today and everything went incredibly smoothly and about as quickly as could be imagined. From the beginning, Ray was honest about any unknowns related to selling an older home, yet came up with excellent suggestions about pricing and home preparation. Ray went the extra mile in providing services and always responded to every question or concern that I raised through throughout the process. I can highly recommend Ray Lyon for any real estate services.

ZillowVERIFIEDMy family and I decided to work with Ray to sell our condo, and we couldn't be happier with our decision. He is efficient, hardworking, and incredibly thorough. When escrow got a little complicated toward the end due to issues with the buyers loan, Ray stepped in and firmly communicated with the loan officer to ensure we stayed on track with our original timeline. Not only did he help us secure an offer over asking, but he also made sure that no details slipped through the cracksaEUR"something weve learned the hard way with previous realtors. His meticulous attention to detail and dedication made all the difference in our sale. I also want to emphasize the importance of choosing an agent who is personable and has strong relationships within the industry. Rays professionalism and connections undoubtedly played a key role in the success of our sale. We trusted him with our property, and he delivered. Highly recommend Ray Lyon!

ZillowVERIFIEDRay helped me sell our condo that we bought 8 years ago, originally using Ray to buy and rent our condo. Ray provided information to help us navigate a tenant who failed to pay his rent at the end of stay. Ray was there to help with an extensive renovation that required a degree of expertise encompassing HVAC systems, carpet replacement, corroded P Traps, repainting, new drapes, etc. The pictures he listed the property with showed the penthouse condo off to its best effect. We got over 1400 views and ultimately 80 saves. The condo was under contract within 2 weeks and closed within 22 days. The buyer was demanding. Ray sourced handymen to deliver services needed in a timely manner to keep the process on track and at a reasonable price. Closing was delayed 1 day but that in retrospect was more my fault than anyone else. Yes I would use Ray again without hesitation to buy or sell a property in Santa Monica or Brentwood.

ZillowVERIFIEDFrom our first meeting with Ray Lyon, we were very impressed! He was well prepared and very knowledgeable about the local real estate market. He came with materials including local comparable sales. Ray has always listened to our concerns and always was readily available and communicative. We communicated via phone, text, email and in person. From day one he was extremely helpful in providing guidance on all issues. He helped us with all repairs needed with the house. He had subcontractors that he could call to perform the repairs. They performed excellent work at very reasonable prices. The home was professionally photographed and staged. Ray always provided options and remedies in resolving various issues with the sale. Due to his strong marketing, we had over 100 interested parties come through on his scheduled open houses. This was a complicated and difficult Trust sale involving attorneys and the Court. Ray handled everything professionally. We would trust him to handle any type of real estate sale and highly recommend Ray Lyon!

ZillowVERIFIEDRay helped us sell 2 family homes in Venice. As trustees, we were remotely located, and Ray handled everything for us. We placed our trust in him 100%, and he didn't disappoint. He met with any needed repair men, hired and paid up front for the repairs and staging, until we could reimburse him. He helped facilitate getting a renter to leave willingly, to avoid any problems getting the renter to vacate. Both very difficult to sell houses closed escrow early. I would suggest Ray to anyone looking to buy or sell on the Westside. He made it seem easy, and he made it as smooth as possible for us.

ZillowVERIFIEDRay was phenomenal. He had a clear plan when we first met with him and everything he laid out that day came to fruition. We had multiple offers less than a week after listing and sold above asking price. I can't say enough about how well he knows the local market. He also saved significant money with his guidance on how to prepare our house for sale. He was quick to respond when we had questions, and patient when we asked more. We can't recommend him enough.

Review for Member: Ray Lyon
ZillowVERIFIEDAfter living in my house for a quarter century, I felt nervous about finding the right person to represent me to sell it after I had decided to move. When I mentioned to one prominent area realtor that I was considering Ray, he rather sniffily told me that while Ray might be good with condos, he wasnt the right person for a house like mine. Totally wrong. I hired Ray and couldnt be happier with how the process went. I was completing the remodel of the house I was moving into and the last thing I wanted was to spend mental energy on my home sale; I really wanted an agent I could trust who would just take it over and get me the best deal at the lowest cost to myself possible. And thats exactly what Ray did. He did a marvelous job whipping my house into shape aEUR" and it needed a lot of work aEUR" at a cost well below what I expected or feared, and it looked fantastic. We fielded an off-market offer before it was listed and he did awesome work shepherding the negotiations to a successful conclusion and getting me the very best outcome I could imagine. All I had to do was set some very general parameters and sign documents aEUR" exactly what I was hoping for. I cant recommend Ray highly enough.

Review for Member: Ray Lyon
ZillowVERIFIEDOur sale was a bit more complicated than usual. We were selling our mother in laws house as trustees after she passed away. We interviewed several realtors, and selected someone that we thought was older and more experienced than Ray. However, before we signed with the selected agent, Ray, using his extensive contacts came in with a fully documented unsolicited offer that was a bit higher than we were planning to ask for the property. We decided to go with Ray's offer and have had nothing less than a thoroughly pleasant experience. Ray demonstrated the highest degree of professionalism and expertise in guiding us through the process. Ray is knowledgeable and aggressive, something you want in a realtor when selling a home. In 40 years of buying and selling homes, I have not seen a realtor with the skill level, friendliness, and professionalism of Ray and give him my highest recommendation.

Review for Member: Ray Lyon
ZillowVERIFIEDI was in a bind: I had already moved across town and wanted to sell my old house--but I was too busy to oversee the home makeover prior to the sale. Ray did everything -- he identified improvements that needed to be made, told me not to bother with a few house tweaks that I otherwise would have wasted money on, got me set up with his handyman, decorated, and generally oversaw all the work. He found the stagers, and even bought some staging furniture himself. He hosted an open house, and 65 people showed up! We then got 5-6 competitive offers within a week, and Ray strategically took advantage of all the buzz to reach fair market value (or higher). Throughout, he was always very responsive, always positive, and super helpful. He answered all of my questions thoroughly, and addressed my concerns. He's been great, and I highly recommend him.

ZillowVERIFIEDInitially, I was referred to Ray by a Friend. After our initial meeting I could see why he was highly recommended. From our very first meeting it was evident that Ray was a dedicated professional generally invested in helping me get my dream home. Throughout the entire process, Ray showcased unparalleled expertise and thoroughness. Whether it was understanding the intricacies of the local market, providing insights on properties, or navigating the complexities of the home buying process, he was always a step ahead, ensuring everything was in order. What stood out the most, however, was his ability to keep me calm during the more challenging phases of the purchase. As with any purchase, there were moments of uncertainty and potential setbacks, but his reassuring presence and clear communication made all the difference. Hes extremely responsive and made sure that I was comfortable and confident with the process every step of the way. Ray also knows all of the ins and outs of owning and maintaining a home and is quick to provide a trusted recommendation for anything related to your home. I am now the proud owner of a beautiful home in Venice, and I owe a significant part of this achievement to Ray. If you're looking for a realtor who goes above and beyond, who genuinely cares, and who will guide you with unmatched expertise, look no further. I cannot recommend him highly enough.

ZillowVERIFIEDRay helped us purchase our home in Mar Vista in 2022, and we cannot say enough great things about Ray. We had just sold our home the year before with another agent, and was very disappointed by the process and lack of communication/attention from our prior agent. However, Ray was 100% different and refreshing. Ray always made time to respond to all of our questions, and went out of his way to share his real estate and construction knowledge with us. We had to remodel the house immediately after escrow closed, and Ray gave us so many great ideas, and even shared his contacts for the remodel work. What impressed us the most was his follow up even months after the purchase. We had a couple of issues that came up after escrow closed, and Ray stepped right in and helped us get in touch with the sellers to get our questions answered and the issues resolved. Even the sellers worked well with Ray, because he is truly kind and sincere in everything he does. Based on our experience and many conversations with friends who have also recently used other agents, I know that Ray is the exception. We will undoubtedly be reaching out to Ray again when we buy/sell in the future!!

ZillowVERIFIEDRay is just amazing. He is very hard working, extremely knowledgeable and kind. He was our real estate agent to sell our triplex in Los Angeles. We chose him on yelp because of the great reviews, but also because he had experience with rental units. It was important for us to find someone who had experience on all levels of real estate. We could not have wished for a better agent, Ray is the very best!!! He was always there to answer questions but can also be very hands on to make things happen. He can suggest simple things to make a place more inviting for buyers, because he has years of experience and he truly cares. He is the perfect agent, but also a beautiful person. We used him twice so far. He also helped us purchase a house after selling the triplex and made the impossible possible. We could not be happier with his work and highly recommend Ray for all of your real estate needs.

ZillowVERIFIEDAfter reading the great reviews and the statements aEURoeFrom This BussinessaEUR? on Yelp, I thought Ray Lyon was the exact type of realtor I was looking for. I was trying to find an entry-level house in Santa Monica. I had a tight budget, but I didnt want to lower the bar on picking houses.I knew it was a hard task. Eventually Ray did it. He has long-year experience focusing on Santa Monica and surrounding areas. He explained to me the pros and cons of every house I was interested in. I felt that he knew every block there. He shared his thoughts for the houses he walked us through at the open houses. It seemed that he understood my needs and situation more than myself. When I got frustrated after several weeks of searching, he didnt push me to raise my budget, but explained to me that it was just because of the shortage of stocks. He suggested that we keep searching and wait for the right houses to come out on the market. When I became aggressive in an offer battle, he reminded me that I was overpaying. Thanks to his suggestions, I didnt end up buying a house which might become a burden for me. He did a quick search to see if there was anything else worth seeing before meeting us for a scheduled visit to an open house on a Tuesday morning. We loved the house he found for us that day. That was the right house I dreamed of at the beginning. The location, the amount of bedrooms and bathrooms, the backyard, the lot size, the listing priceaEUR|.He knew how much we should offer and the strategies to win out of multiple buyers. Our offer was accepted by the seller 5 days later. It was 6 weeks from when I contacted him for the first time until the seller accepted my offer. The whole escrow process was very smooth and quick. He helped us arrange the home inspections and utility transfers. He also knows many good vendors. He recommended them to us when we needed them. Highly recommend Ray Lyon if you need real estate service in Santa Monica and surrounding areas. He helped me find and get my dream house at a reasonable price on the red-hot seller's market.

He seemingly knew every street and market we looked at in Los Angeles and gave us great insights into the smallest details (noise, schools, restaurants, reputation etc.). He was extremely responsive, efficient, and never pressured us to make a quick decision. Ray was available day and night. Not only did he negotiate hard for us once we found a place, but he lined up resources for financing and contractors for a few items we wanted work done on. I highly recommend Ray for anything real estate related! We will definitely be using him for out next home search!

ZillowVERIFIEDRay Lyon helped me sell my property in Santa Monica, December of 2020. My experience with Ray was exceptional from the first moment all the way through completion of the sale. From the first conversation it was clear that Ray is not only a smart, engaged and very experienced real estate agent, but also an incredibly savvy marketing expert with an excellent pulse on the dynamics of real estate at any given point. Even in the midsts of the truly unpredictable COVID pandemic his assessment of the market and his proposed advertising strategy was 100% on point. He was wonderful to work with - thorough, diligent and patient in guiding me through the process, and thoughtful and considerate of all people involved (including all my neighbors). Ray also took a personal interest in helping me make my property look its absolute best - he strategized with me and gave me invaluable tips on how to stage the space, and even helped me with some of his own staging items! Ray also brought in a fantastic photographer who created irresistible photos, a 3D walkthrough and jaw dropping drone footage of the apartment inside and out. Many friends who had known the place for years were commenting on how well he captured its vibe and brought out its very best. Ray included all of these marketing efforts in his own commission so I didnt have to worry about anything! The success of the showings and the smoothness of the escrow process also exceeded my wildest expectations. In spite of being in the midst of the second wave of the COVID-19 pandemic AND listing my apartment 3 weeks before Christmas, Ray managed to bring in 65 parties - partially even from out of state! - to see the place. He went above and beyond managing 3 intense days of individual showings to comply with COVID safety regulations without hampering the presentation in the slightest. He then went on to advise me confidently, thoughtfully and in the best possible way throughout the reviewing of a significant number of offers and was an invaluable calming, and professional guide through this (for me) stressful process. Once a buyer was identified, Ray stayed in close communication, was available at all times, and made sure all my questions were answered immediately during the entire escrow phase (even though this happened largely over the Holidays!). This was my first home sale and I felt the entire time that I was in absolutely trustworthy hands and that the whole process was managed to the absolute highest good of all concerned. In this exceptional sale Ray Lyon not only found the perfect buyer for my property, we also closed at 40% above the listing price! I can not thank Ray and his team enough and I recommend him 1000%!

ZillowVERIFIEDIf we could give more than 5 stars we would! Working with Eliza and Ray was such a good experience and you absolutely cannot go wrong with them if you're considering someone to be your ally in buying or selling your home. We worked mostly with Eliza to buy our home. Not only is she an expert in the LA real-estate market, but she cares about the people she works with, got to know us, and really made sure we found the perfect place to call home. If you value people who are friendly, knowledgeable, connected, professional, available, responsive, and honest, you'll enjoy working with both Eliza and Ray. Some detail of our experience: My wife and I did weeks of online research, spoke to friends who recently purchased, and then hit the open house circuit thinking we knew what we were doing on our own. We were wrong. So, we found Eliza and Ray based on reviews and in a matter of minutes realized how valuable working with them would be. Early in the process, they patiently helped us figure out what type of home we wanted, the features in the home we needed for our family, the areas we wanted to look in, and an appropriate time frame. Then, they helped us navigate the offer process, recommended the terms of an offer, advised us as to what was competitive/fair, and connected us with a broker who could facilitate a fast close with a great rate. Finally, they guided us through closing, reviewed all of the confusing documents, jumped on after-hours phone calls, and always made sure we felt comfortable and understood. Not only did we find the right place, but the process was actually fun, and I think that is a testament to how well Eliza and Ray work. The next time a family member of friend is in the market, Eliza and Ray will be the first people we recommend!

ZillowVERIFIEDI cannot imagine a better selling experience than the one my wife and I had with Ray. Not only did our townhouse sell for a record price in less than a week on the market, Ray had a plan from the beginning, knew the market and always let us know what was going on. From our first meeting through the move out, we always knew where we were in the process and what to expect. Also, if we had any questions, Ray always made himself available to answer all of our questions. Finally, Ray has an eye for design that helped us optimize the look of our townhouse during our open house and showings, undoubtedly increasing the number and size of our offers. If you are selling your house, hire Ray and it will be one of the best decisions you will ever make.

ZillowVERIFIEDThis is my 5th real estate transaction and Ray Lyon is my most favorite realtor! He is classy, knowledgeable about the market, helpful ( he helped me start packing), he tried to help me before we even signed the listing agreement! He then prepared my place for showings, showed it to 100 people, took beautiful photographs of it, and priced it right. He had the place sold in a timely manner. He is the most effective real estate agent I have ever worked with and others could stand to learn from him! His model works! You will not be disappointed if you choose Ray Lyon to help you.
