"Ray helped my wife and I buy our first house in Playa del Rey. He was a pleasure to work with and I'd highly recommend him. Even after the deal was finished, Ray continued to help us out with little things that came up. Overall, he made the home buying process super simple. Would work with him again in a heartbeat!" - Joey

★★★★★
"This 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. " - Tamara

He persevered and sold our condo despite difficult circumstances and months later, even after close of escrow, was still on our side when unforeseen problems arose.

About Ray

Thanks for stopping by Ray Lyon Realty! I currently live in Mar Vista with my wife and two kids. Five years ago we built our custom dream house complete with a pool and large outdoor living space. It was a long and stressful process but we learned a lot from the experience.  Previously we lived in a townhouse, which we also remodeled in Santa Monica. We lived there for 12 years and currently own it as a rental property. I have flipped several properties around the westside and own 35+ investment properties.

 

I sell a lot of properties on market and do a few off-market deals. My favorite part of my job is taking a listing and getting it to show at it’s best potential. I call it putting “lipstick” on it! I have several inexpensive contractors that I work with to make this happen. I can help you stage your place, give you a plan to declutter, reorganize etc. I have an amazing photographer / videographer who can showcase your listing. I will utilize my marketing and advertising background to get your listing the most exposure. All of this helps you get top dollar and most of my listings sell over asking in multiple offers.

 

Some families do not want to have their homes on the market for personal reasons. Or the house has a lot of deferred maintenance so it’s better selling it off market to a cash investor. Tiny homes have problems appraising. The land is worth more than the home, so you need a cash offer. These types of properties I shop around off market. Typically, I generate multiple offers on them so we can leverage the highest price and best terms. Most off market deals are tear downs, which I sell to developers who remodel or build new construction homes. 

 

In addition, Eliza and I work with a lot of buyers, from first time home buyers to people who own several properties. We have access to on market and off market properties. We work with great lenders who can close quickly and tighten up or remove the appraisal and loan contingencies. This gives our offer a competitive advantage. We will hold your hand though out the process. You can take advantage of our great relationships with contractors to get quotes during escrow for future remodels. 

 

We love our jobs and have won several awards along the way (Wall Street Journal - Real Trends Best Professional List, LA Business Journal- Top Agent Award, LA Magazine – Real Estate All Star List). Currently we are in the top 1.5% of realtors nationwide. Give us a call, let us know your situation and we are happy to help!
