Drew Lyon

Broker / Owner
DRE# 01459368

Drew Lyon embarked on his real estate journey in 2004, earning his brokerage license in 2008. His career is characterized by a steadfast commitment to teamwork, diligence, and passion. Drew views real estate as more than just transactions; it's about fulfilling the needs, dreams, and aspirations of his clients. This philosophy is evident in the high volume of referrals and repeat business generated by Harcourts, where Drew’s emphasis on developing genuine client relationships stands out.

That same client-first mindset led Drew to build his property management business after experiencing the process firsthand as a rental property owner. When he couldn’t find a dependable, high-quality management company that treated his home with the care it deserved, he decided to create the solution he wished existed. Today, Drew’s company is grounded in pride, accountability, and a deep commitment to every client—managing each home as if it were his own. From proactive communication and detailed oversight to protecting the long-term value of each asset, Drew brings the same standards of service and integrity to property management that have defined his real estate career from the start.
