"We purchased our first home with Chris Burton's help and we couldn’t have been happier with the job he did. Throughout the entire process he was professional, knowledgeable, and trustworthy. He took our complete lack of real estate knowledge in stride and answered (honestly and candidly) every dumb question we could come up with. When we fell in love with terrible homes he was supportive but pointed out specific problems and explained potential points of concern; at no point did we feel any pressure to make an offer on a home that wasn’t perfect. We quickly came to trust his instincts – he’d come to completely different conclusions than us after looking at the same pictures, but every time he ended up being right. He was always available when we would send him messages, and more than once we toured potential homes less than a day from first seeing the listing. In such a competitive market as Sacramento this kind of availability was crucial. Once we wer ready to make an offer, Chris was invaluable in helping prepare and explain those documents. He kept in constant communication with the selling agent and provided critical advice to us, which ended up with us winning the bid! Without his help we would not be currently closing on our dream house. In addition to his excellent professionalism, Chris is a wonderful person. He guides his business by his integrity and character, which is evident in how he treats his clients every step of the way. We are so grateful to have worked with Chris, and to now call him a friend. I would recommend him, without hesitation, to anyone looking for a good realtor experience in the Sacramento area." - Molly Stricker

"Chris was AMAZING! My husband and I were buying our first home, which can be a scary experience. We had friends go through the process with another realtor and have a not so great experience so we had some concerns about the process. Chris had an amazing list of homes ready for us when we went out on the hunt. He was very honest and open about each house we saw, and helped us get the facts. Once we found our home, he was on it with getting in the offer and getting the home! He made sure we did everything needed to secure the home. Then during the LENGTHY process of getting the home, he was there with us each way making sure we were updated and aware during the process. He came to our signing and made sure getting our keys was an exciting thing! (Not all realtors do this!) If you want a great realtor Chris is the way to go." – Marc

"Chris not only helped us sell our home, but also helped us purchase our new home. Chris was an expert every step of the way. He gave us the right recommendations and worked hard for us. He held open houses for us every chance he could and coordinated showings that were targeted to our tastes. We were very pleased every step of the way and are loving our new home." - Erin D.

"If you want an agent that knows the area, can point out important construction flaws/positives, is a straight shooter, and will work his tail off to get you the best deal possible...then Chris is your guy. I have and will continue to recommend him to all my friends and family. When I go to buy/sell another house, Chris will be the one I go to so that it will get done efficiently and effectively." - Buyer, Sacramento

"We were one of Chris' first clients. Crom the moment we met he demonstrated professionalism and a strong knowledge of the area we were looking into. He was ver patient and promptly responded to our questions. He researched and brought all options available to us regarding neighborhood, financing and mode. We trusted him to help us with one of the most important decisions of our lives and he did not disappoint us. We have recommended him and his team to friends and family." - Buyer & Seller, Sacramento

"I have had nothing but a positive experience with my agent, Chris Burton. His insight and expertise has helped me make informed choices and decisions throughout the process of finding my first home. Additionally, his patience and responsiveness with any questions I have has made for a great and comfortable experience. I couldn't be happier with his professionalism and kind manner in aiding my purchase!" - Tyler W.

"Chris was wonderful. He works with his wife so if he gets busy she jumps in and helps. Once when I thought I found the perfect place, he dropped everything and got us right in which is important in this market. He ultimately found us the perfect house, set us up with an awesome loan guy and even came to the doc signing." - Valerie B. 

"Our experience with Chris Burton and Lyon Real Estate: We began searching for a home in February. I called Chris because I saw one of his listings for sale. Although that house was already in contract Chris offered to set us up with a HomeFinder app to let us know what was available. I was initially worried about moving to a new city and finding a realtor without any previous referrals since we didn't know anyone in the area. Chris put my mind at ease with the first phone call. He was never pushy or in it for the sale. My husband and I were comfortable with him right away. Throughout the process we knew that Chris was there to guide us but never made us feel uncomfortable or pushed into anything. On our first visit to the office we met him and his (now) wife Leigha. They are some of the sweetest, most genuine people. We had an instant connection with them that can only come from people you know have your best interests at heart. We only had to spend about 3 days out looking at houses to find the one we wanted. Once we did he went with us back to the property several times in one day just so that we could be sure and see the house and neighborhood at different times of day. Chris was open and available to us at all times and really made setting up the offer and going through the lending process as easy as possible. Chris hooked us up with some awesome people for the other parts of the purchase. Our lender, Roy McGovern was beyond incredible! He worked miracles for us and he and Chris really went to bat for us to make sure everything was done quickly and correctly and that all stipulations and qualifications were met. The home inspector he suggested was so thorough! I was amazed at how much detail he noticed down to a missing screw cap on a light fixture. Chris has an awesome team with him that really made the purchase as stress free as possible. We knew the entire time we were in good hands and that we had a TEAM of people working towards the goal of getting us into the home that we wanted. Chris's professionalism and sincerity did not end after closing! He dropped by the house once had moved to see how we were settling in. We have kept in communication and truly consider Chris and Leigha friends! They were awesome to work with start to finish. They are genuine, professional, knowledgeable, and caring. I have recommended them to anyone I hear looking to buy or sell. I still have their cards in my purse to hand out because I want everyone who purchases or sells a home to have the wonderful experience my husband and I did. Thank you so much Chris, Leigha and team for everything! - Melissa I.

"Chris was so helpfull and worked especially hard to keep me informed every step of the way. He also lined up a contractor to make needed repairs and went above and beyond to make sure I got the best price. I am very glad I had Chris sell my home and I will definitely use him again." - Roger B.

"Chris was very attentive to our needs throughout the entire buying and selling process. He was more than happy to arrange his schedule in order to accommodate ours, and never pushy. Chris used very strategic tactics to get us the best price for our house, while helping us find our dream home, and was incredibly honest and transparent. I highly recommend Chris to anyone who is looking to buy or sell in the greater Sacramento area! He is great!" - Katie S.
