As first time home buyers, Jim Lyons made our experience incredibly smooth and easy when the home buying process was far from that. In the beginning of this journey, Jim made a point to listen and get to know us-he wanted to learn our likes, dislikes and what we really wanted. He had a flexible schedule and always accommodated our busy, full time work schedules. As novices to the home buying process, Jim was extremely thorough and patient in helping us sort through the many listings to find great options. He presented a variety of potential homes and honestly discussed the pros and cons of each one, providing advice based on his professional experience. As we narrowed down our options, he diligently followed up with property managers, real estate agents etc to ensure we were given the best offer at the most reasonable price. Overall, we believe Jim went above and beyond to find us the perfect home at the right price in the least amount of time possible. We would absolutely love to have the opportunity to work with him again.

Jeff and I can’t thank you enough for your help during our home search.  The process was painless and actually fun.  Your expertise and help during the construction of our new home was invaluable.  Our new home exceeded our expectations and we believe it is because of you.  We would recommend you to anyone serious about finding a new home in Northern Virginia.  You are the best!  After many moves, this is by far the most enjoyable and least painful of all!.  Thank you!!! Thank you!!

Jim Lyons is a consummate professional real estate agent.  From our initial discussions on whether to place our house on the market through the final sale, he was with us every step of the way.  He provided a thorough market analysis allowing us to set a realistic price point, arranged for professional staging advice and contributed many of his own suggestions increasing the marketability of our home.  He was in constant communication keeping us informed of all interests and comments, both positive and negative, that allowed us to make enhancements or improvements.  He quickly followed up on each inquiry and once the final negotiations were underway, was in contact with all the various entities involved, e.g., the buyers real estate agent, title company attorney, financer, etc., and advised us regarding any real or potential issues.  His friendly demeanor, professional attitude and willingness to go the extra step, greatly enhanced our ability to go through what was an, at times, extremely stressful experience.  We are sure selecting Jim as an agent, either for selling or buying a home, will be the beginning step in a positive, successful process.

We were referred to Jim by another realtor we knew out of state and we feel very lucky to have been matched with him, especially because this was my first home buying experience and he brought such ease to the entire process. My husband is a Army veteran, so we decided we wanted to take advantage of the VA loan. We first looked at a townhouse development in which we could start from scratch and build the house to our personal preferences. We were so excited to make it exactly like we wanted it. We went to the design center and picked out all of our favorite options and then waited patiently for the building to begin. In the meantime, Jim knew that we wanted to build our own deck, so he took the initiative and ordered samples of the woods that I wanted to look at. I was shocked that he was going so far above his duties as a realtor to help us make the perfect home. Unfortunately, once the foundation and the walls were going up, a bomb was dropped on us. The builder came back to us and said that our house was only going to appraise for $30,000 less than what we agreed to in the contract and that the VA would most likely not approve the loan. We were so upset and let down on how far we had come to owning our first home but Jim took care of EVERYTHING and made the process as painless as possible to help us get out of that contract, even making sure that the company did not keep our $38,000 that we put down as a down payment at the design center (which they did try to do). So back to square one we went looking at the next set of homes. I was reluctant to "fall in love" again with another home in fears that another bomb would drop and be disappointed again, but Jim never put any pressure on us to make a quick decision. He stood by us for months as we decided on a place to call home and we are forever grateful. The paperwork throughout the process was all online, making it so much easier in our extremely hectic schedules. Even when we went on a week vacation and had only the use of our cell phones' email, he converted documents into a format that we could sign. Some real estate agents try to force you into purchasing something just so they can make their commission, like a car salesman, but Jim NEVER did that. He let us go at our own pace and comfort level; like a friend who is looking out for your well-being and your ultimate satisfaction. We are so glad that we were paired up with him because he will definitely be our realtor for life!!!

A New Year, 2015, started and something in my mind was different. I had now this mindset of getting a property and start a new phase on my life. Through a friend I met Jim Lyons from Keller Williams. Being a first buyer is not easy, especially because of the lack of knowledge of the process, but Jim walked me through it ensuring that I understood what I was getting into. I saw different realtors before met him, and I can tell the difference of his quality services. Another good thing was how he adapt himself to the different communication methods available to the client, minimizing the risk of losing communication at some point during the buying process. I will recommend him to everyone I know that its getting into the house hunting market. 

Thanks Jim.

Jim took the time and effort to understand our needs (our first investment property) and helped us to find a place that fit those needs. He provided service above and beyond what was expected and certainly that of a realtor. Friendly, professional and confident-great traits! Thanks for all your time and help to make this a great experience.

My apologies on responding to your card so late. As you know things have been busy but we are getting settled in and it's nice to finally have that feeling of home here in Colorado. So far we are enjoying our time here, especially the warmer weather and sunshine.

We really appreciate everything that you did for us. From the very beginning you were eager to help us locate homes in the area and we appreciate that you spent New Years day going from house to house with us. We were very impressed with how much you went out of your way to make arrangements for us before we arrived. We are grateful that you helped with trying to get the ice off the driveway, sending us links to get familiar with the area, staying in constant communication throughout the entire purchase of our home and picking up a pizza for us while we moved in. In addition to everything else, you did not hesitate to step in when our furnace broke while Justin was out of town. We both feel that it's the little things people do that contribute so positively to any experience and we are both grateful to have had your help with this one. You definitely helped to make this a smooth transition for us.
You can be sure if we know anyone moving to the area we will, without a doubt, recommend you.

Thanks again for everything!

Jim,

"Thank you very much for all your hard work and understanding during a tough time-it seemed as if I were working with a friend and not just someone looking for a sale. My critique would be to keep doing what you do best-just be our friend-a good person not just an agent!"

Thanks for everything!

Jim, you did a great  "last Minute" job organizing all of the inspection repairs! Although they were not major $'s, it was a tremendous help to our family since we live out of state.

Thanks again for a great job!

Jim, you were very patient with us and our questions. You were quick to follow through with us and the things that needed to be done during the loan process. You were also quick and thorough finding properties that fit our budget and criteria. You were great-we couldn't hoped for anyone better.

Thanks
