“Lyssa helped guide my wife and me through our first home purchase and helped us get a wonderful home in the exact neighborhood we were targeting. She advised us to craft an offer that beat out seven other offers, including offers that were higher than ours. She is highly professional, talented, and on top of being a wonderful professional to work with, has become a friend. Her team, including her husband, Charles, an extremely knowledgeable and insightful man, was there to help every step of the way. Thank you, Lyssa.”

“Lyssa Seward sold our home in May 2021. Real estate and people are her passion. She brings a wealth of real estate knowledge and marketing experience to the table, coupled with her tenacity to get the home sold. She presented our home through amazing photos taken by Chris, staging of the house by Elaine, and development of professional marketing materials that resulted in the home being sold in three days and over the listing price. She is lightning fast in her responsiveness to all communication. When challenges were presented, she was quick to respond with solutions. She does all of the above while making you feel as if you are her only client. Her customer service is astounding and she is a true joy to work with. Our experience with Lyssa and her team was the best we have had in buying and selling six homes over the years. We highly recommend you use Lyssa and the Seward Group for your next real estate buy or sell.”
