Meet Dave

As a local real estate expert serving Fairfield County, Connecticut—including Norwalk, Darien, New Canaan, Westport, Wilton, and Stamford—I bring a deep understanding of the local market, neighborhood dynamics, and what it takes to successfully buy or sell a home in this competitive area.

With consistent 5-star ratings on Google, my business is built on trust, results, and a client-first approach. I provide up-to-date market insights, strategic guidance, and a seamless experience from start to close—whether you're a first-time buyer, upgrading, downsizing, or relocating.

Buying a Home in Fairfield County
Finding the right home is about more than just price—it’s about lifestyle. I help you identify the right property, in the right neighborhood, with the amenities and features that matter most to you. With in-depth local knowledge and access to off-market opportunities, I give my clients a competitive edge.

Selling Your Home for Maximum Value
When it’s time to sell, I offer a comprehensive marketing strategy designed to maximize exposure and attract qualified buyers. From professional presentation and targeted digital marketing to skilled negotiation and closing coordination, I manage every detail to ensure a smooth and successful transaction.

Expert Home Preparation & Design Strategy
Today’s buyers need to emotionally connect with a home. I provide expert guidance on staging, updates, and improvements that can significantly increase your home’s value and reduce time on market. Small, strategic changes can make a powerful difference.

Design & Renovation Expertise That Sets Me Apart
Before real estate, I built a successful career in design, working with globally recognized brands like Ralph Lauren, Estée Lauder, and Bath & Body Works. My design work has reached millions of homes across the country—blending aesthetics, function, and lifestyle.

That experience naturally evolved into home renovation and restoration projects, including an 1880s Victorian revival in Vermont, a full transformation of a 1950s split-level into Craftsman-style luxury, and the renovation of a historic church parsonage. This hands-on expertise allows me to help clients see a home’s full potential—whether buying or selling.

Let’s Make Your Next Move a Smart One
Real estate is more than a transaction—it’s about creating your next chapter. Whether you're buying, selling, or simply exploring your options in Fairfield County, I’m here to guide you every step of the way.

There are many things to consider when choosing a Realtor to list or market your home or help you find the property that fits the needs of your family.

From my experience I know that many of us have friends and family in the real estate business, but it is so important that they also are knowledgeable and experienced, as well as available.!

I choose Dave Lyon for his knowledge of the real estate market, his “Can do “ attitude, and his persistence! He developed an intensive marketing plan to cover all phases of my transaction. In the end, my home sold quickly ,and his helpfulness extended to the day of the closing and I beyond.! I couldn’t have chosen a better Realtor!

Dave is everything one could desire in a Real Estate agent. He gave sound advice, worked tirelessly - always was available - and helped so much in pointing us to the professionals needed to complete our transaction. The ultimate endorsement: I would use Dave again.

Bruce M. 

Dave was a fantastic real estate broker! He came in at the last minute to “rescue” me from a terrible broker from another firm who failed to put my condo on for a realistic price.  He took over when my 6 month commitment was over and understood and empathized with my predicament. Dave was so supportive and helpful in trying to make the best of the situation. He has a great outlook and works so hard for his clients. I would choose to use him again in a heart beat. Whomever is fortunate enough to have him as their realtor, will be lucky to have his representation, due to his drive, knowledge, and expertise!

Ginny B.

Listed for months with someone else, no response, within a week of David's taking over, the house was rented. Hard worker, detail oriented, trustworthy, really does his best for his customers.

Dave Lyon showed himself to be very knowledgeable and personable. His no-pressure and easy going way was a pleasure to work with. I would definitely recommend Dave to anyone looking for the right place to live or invest in.

Larry E.

We highly recommend Dave Lyon to anyone looking to purchase a home in Fairfield County. His knowledge of the community saved us so much time in our search. He was keen to listen to all of our wants and was always accessible and persistent. His negotiating skills really paid off!

Dave has an amazing eye for detail, design and conceptual space. I called upon him and his team twice for an update and staging of my home for a real estate appraisal and exit plan. Within two hours, they had rearranged the furniture in my home to create an open and welcoming space, using existing furniture and art. We're so impressed and satisfied were re-thinking our time line. Can never go wrong when Dave Lyon is in charge!

It was an absolute pleasure and privilege to work with such a friendly and knowledgeable person such as Mr. Lyon. We had to bring our three kids to showings and he made us feel comfortable the whole time. What I loved most about him is that he puts himself in our shoes and always makes us feel secure with our decision.

Dave has listed and staged our home. Today is day one of the new listing. The house is now on the market and looks so beautiful thanks to Dave's hard work over the past week and a half to get it ready to sell. Dave took total charge of every detail for us.

When we met with him to list our home he explained all the details about selling and did extensive research through a new marketing system his brokerage has in place. Hopefully it will sell quickly.

We highly recommend that you list your home with Dave. He is professional and has great vision and is highly dedicated.
