Testimonials
My wife and I were very happy we selected Sylvia Lunsford as our real estate agent to list our vacation home. She is very knowledgeable of our local real estate market. She chose a much higher listing price than what I thought it should be, and her advice on exactly which repairs to make, which ones we could ignore, and exactly how to stage our vacant home, was spot on! Our home sold in 24 hours, and for tens of thousands more than the listed price! After the buyers’ inspections, her extensive contacts in the industry allowed her to arrange for, and get completed, various repairs and services – there were several – within our short 21-day escrow period. She returns calls, texts, and emails promptly, and kept us informed of progress throughout the entire selling process. She made a stressful time much less difficult. We highly recommend Sylvia without reservation.

If you are looking for an agent that can help you sell your vacation home, Sylvia Lunsford is the right choice to help you through the entire process. She has the experience and the perseverance to get you through all the pitfalls that you can encounter. My wife and I had such a need, when we lost renters from a California property and decided to sell. We live in Arizona and couldn’t travel to California any longer, so you can imagine the problems and stress that can cause. We needed someone to look after our now vacant property, get repairs and termite work done, and updating in general. Sylvia did a phenomenal job, got the home repairs and updates done, all termite work completed, and listed and sold our home in less than 90 days. We are pleased to offer this information in an effort to assist your choice of the right Real Estate person to be your “guardian angel” throughout all the hassles that will be met. You will be happier and farther ahead financially, having chosen Sylvia to help you through this process.

Sylvia helped me purchase a home in Arroyo Grande during the height of the seller’s market. There were over a dozen offers, I think 15 total. Using her unique strategies and expertise in this type of market she got my offer accepted over all others! Unfortunately, I got a job transfer out of state just six months after moving in to my new home. So now I needed to sell, and I was so worried about losing money after owning my home for only 6 months. Sylvia suggested I make a few improvements that would generate a higher price for my home, so I agreed. She arranged to get bids from the contractors she works with, and then helped with scheduling and managing the work. I listed my home with Sylvia just a few months later and it sold right away. I was just hoping to mitigate a huge loss, but I actually ended up making a profit! I can’t tell you what a relief it was to have her coordinate all of this for me, she made what could have been a very stressful situation, stress-free. She knows our real estate market so well, and whether you’re buying or selling, her advice is golden! Sylvia is great at communicating and keeping you informed every step of the way, and you can tell she has her clients’ best interests at heart. I highly recommend her!

I was looking for a real estate agent with experience in investment property. I interviewed and hired Sylvia because of her experience as an investment property owner, and her expertise in fixing and flipping properties. Sylvia located an ideal property in Grover Beach for me to renovate and resale. She also helped manage and schedule ALL my contractors as I live in southern California. She made the entire process stress free for me, which is really saying a lot. When the rehab was complete, I listed the property with Sylvia and she sold it in a few short weeks which resulted in significant profit! The transaction went smoothly, and I was kept up to speed every step of the way. Sylvia is a very good communicator and excellent listener, she pays attention to detail, and truly demonstrates she wants the best outcome for her clients. I felt this way throughout BOTH transactions, buying and selling. I cannot recommend her highly enough.

For a recent sale, my wife and I are so grateful to have had Sylvia Lunsford as our RE representative. She definitely guided us through the mountain of required paperwork with professionalism and expertise. We have bought/sold a handful of homes in the last 15 years and this was by far the most relaxed/enjoyable RE experience we’ve had.

We had the pleasure of being Sylvia’s clients in our most recent home purchase. With the market conditions being extremely competitive – over 10 offers submitted on the home within one day of it being listed, Sylvia not only applied her strategy honed from her years of experience to help us secure the winning contract, she provided us with her prompt five-star ‘concierge’ style service with aplomb. She’s everything one could ask for in a realtor and we feel so fortunate to have her as our realtor.

Sylvia Lunsford was the listing agent for the sale of my mother’s home in Arroyo Grande, CA. Her professionalism in giving me accurate information, following through with issues that needed her expertise, and her friendly style of communication made the transaction one of great ease. She assisted me in bringing the home up-to-date by locating, coordinating and managing all of the vendors on my behalf. All this while consistently interacting with me (living 4 hours away from the property) and during the pandemic! She has a great communication style and what she says she does. I was always kept in the loop regarding any issues, there were no surprises. The team of professionals she works with are of the highest caliber. I can’t say enough about my gratitude for who she is. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a real estate professional.

My wife and I are in our mid sixties and have moved into new homes 3 times total, including this last one which was over 2100 miles to a new state and new part of the country. We could not recommend Sylvia any more highly. Professional, courteous, knowledgeable, friendly, approachable, informative and timely in responding to calls, texts or emails any time day or evening. She really made this major move seamless in all aspects during a very stressful time when we had to move quickly. She has even kept in touch AFTER the move to make sure we made the right decision and if there is any other way she could be of any help in setting up gas and electric utilities, garbage removal, recycling, television, phone and internet. Wish we would have had someone of her caliber in our previous relocations to make so easy and painless. Really can’t adequately express just how proficient and caring she truly is. So glad we happened upon her.

I have worked with Sylvia for over 20 years on real estate transactions. She has represented me in all capacities, as a buyer, seller, and investor, multiple times. She has always been very professional, highly responsive, and extremely diligent, and that’s why I continue to work with her for every one of my real estate transactions. She really knows her stuff and will make the transaction stress-free! Not something you will hear too often. I highly, highly recommend her!

My wife and I were looking for a small getaway at the central coast. A place came on the market that Sylvia had listed. She was professional and made everything very easy through the whole process. I would definitely suggest her for your next real estate transaction!
