Lyon Real Estate – Downtown

We had a great experience working with Pettit Gilwee on the sale of our house. She was professional and detailed at all levels. She guided us on every step of the selling process and the escrow was closed early. Our house was sold quickly and at top dollars. We were impressed with her professionalism and enthusiasm and would highly recommend her.

I really never knew the importance of having a relator until I needed one. This simple message isn’t enough to fully acknowledge my relator Hyrum… But I couldn’t have had a better person on my side. And this message is long overdue by almost a year. It was my first home purchase and we ran into some issues at the end, but thanks to his experience and connections escrow closed. Hyrum was referred to me by a friend. This turned out to be the best referral in my life. And I pass it on to you now. All you need to know is that this guy will take care of you.

Natasha O’Leary has been the most perfect realtor I could have hoped for! I valued trust first and foremost when choosing realtor (closely followed by knowledge of the area and good communication skills) — all of which I found in Natasha. She didn’t make me feel pressured to choose her. She took the time to teach me — a first time homebuyer — everything that was important for me to know, but also didn’t stress me out or bog me down with details I didn’t need to know. She fought hard for me to get my offer accepted, and then walked me through the whole escrow process smoothly and professionally over the course of the next couple months. She was always available by phone call, text, or email, any time of day or night. She worked tirelessly with the selling realtor closely to communicate on my behalf and got each of my requests of the sellers taken care of. She’s so organized and detail-​oriented; she did the necessary research and responded to each of my questions and requests without forgetting any small detail. Whenever I had a question she didn’t know the answer to, she found it right away. She kept track of the whole timeline so that I didn’t have to worry about missing deadlines. I couldn’t have gotten my new home without her, and I’ll be forever grateful for her wonderful help! I recommend her very highly as a realtor to everyone out there looking for their next home.

My wife and I are retired and decided to downsize. We interviewed several outstanding real estate agents and selected Pettit Gilwee to manage the sale of our large home and purchase of a smaller home. She was magnificent! Pettit was totally responsive to our needs, honest, attentive to every detail, and experienced in all facets of the transactions. We waffled numerous times on what we wanted in our new home and she hung in there with us, always supportive and offering solutions. And Pettit did this all with enthusiasm, grace, positive attitude, and energy. We’ve moved four times in the last 38 years, and Pettit is by far the best real estate agent we’ve ever had the pleasure of working with. We are recommending her to all of our friends who are looking for a great agent!

I can’t say enough good things about Pettit Gilwee. Her guidance and expertise made our home selling process stressfree. We ended up with 10 offers the first weekend! She is very well connected and understands the specific way to market each unique property. Do yourself a favor and engage Pettit. :)

Pettit Gilwee is everything a Realtor should be! She’s patient with her transaction partners, pleasant to work with and a serious advocate for her clients. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Pettit to anyone who is looking to buy or sell a home!

Renee Liddie helped us buy our first home in Sacramento, and sell it four years later. Both experiences with her could not have been better. First, we loved the home and neighborhood we bought in and would not have found it without her. After only a few conversations, she knew exactly what we were looking for and led us through the process with ease.
When it was time for us to move out of town a few months ago, we knew we wanted Renee to sell our house. From giving us tips for decluttering the house for the listing, to hiring an amazing photographer to take photos for the listing, and more, Renee went above and beyond. We received multiple offers after less than a week.
Our buyer and his realtor proved to be a challenging pair to work with and Renee handled it with grace and was still able to help us come out on top.
As a seasoned professional, an expert on the Sacramento market, and a really lovely person, I cannot recommend Renee enough.

I worked with Hyrum Gray for the purchase of my Sacramento house. I feel so lucky to have been connected with Hyrum. From the very beginning, Hyrum went above and beyond to make sure that my experience was the best it could be — I was well-​informed, kept up to date, texted or emailed at every turn, and most importantly, I was treated as though my relatively small purchase may as well have been a million-​dollar home purchase. I can’t recommend Hyrum highly enough. And going to the J St office was a pleasure — the support, courtesy, and responsiveness of the staff is outstanding.

Pettit Gilwee was a sheer pleasure to work with for our first home purchase! We closed in late December and the process was a dream. Pettit is always available to answer even the smallest of questions and brings a personable, relatable attitude in all interactions. She knows her stuff, researches anything that she doesn’t know, and is immediate to respond.
With her we narrowed down our wish list, chose a neighborhood, and put an offer on a house in only a few short weeks. Pettit remained a total rock star throughout the process and she gets my highest recommendation.

Right now the Sacramento housing marketing is hot, hot, hot! And if you are wanting to get into a great home in any of the Sacramento urban neighborhoods… Land Park, Curtis Park, Oak Park, East Sac, or Midtown… go with Pettit Gilwee! I can not recommend her enough. From the moment we met Pettit, we felt perfectly at ease with our first home buying experience. Pettit was able to get a sense of exactly what we were wanting with never once going outside of our budget. We just moved into our dream home in Curtis Park, and could not be happier with our first home. Thank you Pettit!

Working with Pettit Gilwee on the purchase of our new home was as good as it gets. We were relocating from the bay area and nervous about everything: school districts, commute times/​distance, proximity to transit and bicycle facilities, parks, walkability, architecture of the home, you name it and we asked her about it. The best part was, Pettit knew the answers. I am happy to say we got the house of our dreams, in our preferred neighborhood, thanks to Pettit. We will definitely be recommending her to all our friends and family.

Working with Pettit Gilwee was a pleasure. Not one day did we feel pressured to make any decisions one way or the other. It was very nice to work with someone who was very knowledgable of Sacramento and its neighborhoods. We made some decisions on one house but decided to back out after learning more about it, even after making an offer. We were sad. Pettit reassured us that we’d find the home for us, and with her help… we did.

US: Mid-​30s lesbian couple, fresh from Los Angeles, complete newbies to home buying and Sacramento. Extremely paranoid, anxious, nervous buyers.
Pettit Gilwee: A rock star. Experienced real estate agent, expert on Sac neighborhoods, extremely responsive.
Being new to Sacramento and home-​buying, we needed a real estate agent that could educate us on the process, introduce us to Sacramento neighborhoods, and hold our hand and tell us everything was going to be ok. Pettit did these things and more. Her approach to home buying meant that we were able to close on a house quickly and efficiently. And any time we had questions, she quickly responded; be it via text, phone, or email.
We had looked seriously at three homes and even when we turned down a home that we thought was the «one,» Pettit assured us we would find another and never pressured us into buying something that wasn’t right for us. The most important thing was that we trusted Pettit. We’re now moving into a great home in East Sac and so happy to call Pettit our neighbor and our friend.

Pettit Gilwee’s keen sense of the Sacramento market, her level-​headed advice, and her all-​star team more than exceeded all of our expectations. With Pettit in our corner, my wife and I could focus on the fun stuff — perusing properties, picking the right one, and making moving arrangements! Never for a second were we concerned that Pettit or her office were letting anything slide. What’s more, she was totally able to tailor her approach based on our style of house-​hunting. As first-​time homebuyers, we were prepared for a nerve-​wracking experience — but instead, we went from offer to getting the keys to our perfect house in under 4 weeks!

Petit Gilwee is the best! She sold my house in record time and was so kind and professional. You will not be disappointed. The listing price was right on target. I am SO glad she was my listing agent!

I recently used Pettit Gilwee as my selling agent for my house in East Sac. She is excellent at communication, collaboration, and marketing. She and I initially had difficulty deciding on the right list price for my home, but she was able to be open to my thoughts and research and we eventually came to exactly the right number. It was a difficult transaction but Pettit never loses her cool and always seeks to find a way to make things work. I would absolutely use her again.
Note– all agents at Lyon are not the same. For example, the agent who tried to rip me off when I first bought my house was Kurt Campbell. Avoid him like the plague, especially if you are a woman.

I have had the pleasure of working with Hyrum Gray last year as a seller and this year as a buyer. I can honestly say that he will work impressively hard no matter the case. He is always upbeat, professional, knowledgeable, and looks after your best interests at all times.
When he sold my house last year it was listed on the MLS on Friday. He immediately held open houses that Saturday and Sunday. By Sunday evening I had a full priced offer! I was so impressed!
Today I closed on a beautiful house that Hyrum knew would be perfect for me. During escrow I vacationed abroad and Hyrum did a stellar job working with the home inspector, the seller’s representatives, and vendors to remedy a couple of items that needed to be addressed.
When you hire Hyrum you are working with the best!

We recently sold 2 houses, and purchased 1 home. We started this process in October 2014. When we first met with Hyrum Gray back then, he came fully prepared with market analysis, and suggested we wait until February 2015. But, he didn’t leave us hanging. He e-​mailed us a couple months later to let us know he was still watching and hadn’t forgotten us.
In January he started prepping us for the sales. Sold the first house in less than a week. Had an offer in for the purchase about a week after that and had an offer accepted on the sale of the other house about 3 weeks after that. There were bumps, but, Hyrum handled. We are all done with everything, and it took about 3 months total from start to close of everything. If we ever sell or purchase a home in the Sacramento area, Hyrum will definitely handle that transaction.

Working wtih Pettit Gilwee was a great experience!
I recently purchased my first home and Pettit was extremely helpful in walking me through the home buying process. I found her to be very focused and attentive. She made sure to communicate often on what was happening and I always felt like I was in good hands.
I would highly recommend her to anyone else looking to buy a home!

Barbara Harsch is AMAZING!
It is because of her knowledge and experience that I got my house. She was able to avoid a bidding war. Barbara and I have been real estate partners for almost 30 years!
