Reviewers say
Reviewers frequently praise Ray’s local market knowledge, responsive communication, and steady, thoughtful guidance for buyers and sellers. Many also appreciate his hands-on preparation, professional connections, and skill navigating negotiations and complicated transactions, describing the experience as smoother and less stressful.
It'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!

I 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.

Ray 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!

Ray 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!

We 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.
