- Patrick J. McMillan

" With Shari’s coaching and guidance we were able to sell our home in two days of listing. Selling our home that we have lived in for 23 years there are a lot of emotions Shari not only listened but was empathic during the process. Even though Shari is professional she shows a personal level and you know she really cares about you and your family. "

" Dena from the Drysdale team was our agent throughout the process of purchasing our home. She was always punctual, professional, and was very responsive to our questions throughout the entire process - when she promised to get information to us, she delivered. What I think is particularly refreshing about our interactions with Dena is that she was very frank and honest about the properties. At no point did I feel like she was trying to upsell a property by or embellish its potential. She is also very connected to the local environment of craftsmen and service providers so when we did have a particular question about a property that she didn't feel like she could answer, she tapped into that network and got us quick responses which ended up being huge in terms of helping us make decisions. And during the entire closing process, she was responsive and supportive with any hiccups along the way being immediately addressed and corrected. "

- Kaman Chan Kim, Trustee

When there was a problem with sellers financing Shari got creative and fixed that. My sister and nephew and mom have all engaged Shari for their real estate needs. Truly a professional in her business. "

" I would recommend Shari Lyons to anyone who is interested in selling or purchasing real estate in our area. She has a great deal of experience in her field. My situation was like many, I needed to sell my cabin in Pinecrest in order to use the proceeds for a purchase in the greater Sacramento area. I was about to put my property on MLS with Shari but she had a buyer who wanted to see my cabin prior to the MLS. I allowed that to happen and with that came a full price offer and a short close of escrow! I did not have to go through the process of Open houses, showings and waiting for an offer. That was a gift to me. The buyer followed through on everything, as well did I, and I now can move on with my goal. I will sell my primary home (with Shari as my Agent) in Sonora and eventually move to a new home that is currently being built. Shari understood the big things and the details. She worked with me to make a smooth sale come to fruition. I am a 30 year veteran in real estate, now retired and it was such a pleasure to work with someone who was patient, compassionate and a genuine professional. I look forward to working with here again! "
