We had come to the realization that we had outgrown our original home. We were wandering blindly, and knew we were out of our depth. We knew it was time to move, but had nothing but a foggy idea of what we wanted for a home. Some close friends recommended that we reach out to the realtor that they had both used. This is what lead us to Gene, and we are much better off for it. Gene helped guide us through the sale of our old home and helped us work through finding out what we really wanted in a dream home. We knew we wanted a new build, but we were overwhelmed by the options. Gene helped patiently guide us through finding what we trully wanted in a house. Over the next few months we worked our way to finding our truth. Then Gene found us a great site for a new build with a fantastic builder. The only problem was that to fully finish the house was slightly out of range for our budget. We had come to accept that we would have to finish the home over time to make it perfect. But then Gene had a brilliant idea. Instead of waiting to sell our old home, we could unlock the value in our old home by selling it ahead of time. Then Gene went to bat and got exceptional value out of the sale of the home, that then allowed us to fully finish the new home, making it our dream come true. Needless to say, we could not recommend Gene more.

We can’t imagine trying to successfully navigate selling and buying without working with a realtor. Fortunately for us, we had partnered with Gene for this process and we were in excellent and capable hands for the entire series of transactions. Gene is a wonderful listener and had our best interests in mind at every step. He met with us at the beginning to get a clear sense of our goals. He presented many options for the new home to us and made adjustments along the way as we provided feedback on what we liked or didn’t like. He also took the time to take us to multiple viewings to get a feel of the different spaces we were considering. When it came to selling our current home, Gene went beyond all expectations to assist us in making the sale as smooth as possible. We had so many questions and he was always accessible, prompt and just as importantly: patient. Gene is a very kind, professional realtor and I would absolutely recommend reaching out to him to discuss your buying or selling plans!

Gene is absolutely fantastic! From the very first meeting we knew we were in great hands! He took care of all the little things that made the whole process of selling our house and buying a new one as painless as possible. We had a 2 week trip to Europe booked long before we decided to sell and thanks to Gene we were able to enjoy our trip to the fullest, while he kept things on track and moving along quite smoothly. If you need a realtor who’s honest, hard working, and easy to talk to look no further than Gene Lye. He’s the best!

Gene is a fantastic realtor that really bent over backwards to help us find a home. We did countless visits, brainstormed ideas for renovations, and he was super supportive and knowledgeable throughout the entire process. When our bank started causing us issues in the process, due to us applying for a builder's mortgage to cover our reno costs, he sorted it all out for us in just a couple phone calls. The wealth of experience he brings to the table is honestly second to none. And he's genuinely a great person!
