Meet Allen & Cheryle Griffin

Hello! We’reAllen & Cheryle Griffin with Lyon Real Estate. What makes us different from the rest of the pack? Experience and Market Insight. We’ve been producing results in the real estate industry for over 24 years, and our working relationship is collaborative and teamwork focused. Our teamwork approach has afforded us to market and sell over 1300 homes on our region.That's over 1300 successfully closed sales that we marketed, negotiated and most importantly, closed… Experience, check!

When it comes to the sale or purchase of your home, you need someone who is knowledgeable of our region's market nuances. We’re natives of the Sacramento Region and we’ve been practicing real estate since 1998/2003, we understand the market.You'll also need someone who is well versed on the pitfalls of buying and selling a home and with our transactional experience, we can provide insight on the next move before you need to make it. Market Insight, check!

We’ve been bestowed almost every major production award in the industry, including being nationally ranked for production and sales volume… But seriously, does that really matter to you, probably not! What probably matters to you is if we can listen and truly make your desires and needs a reality.Aside from being very driven, we’re optimistic and make things happen!And because we’ve produced so much, in 2014 we took a new approach to our real estate business, in the words and advice of Jerry Maguire, "Fewer clients, more personal attention." We’re not after everyone’s business, only those that really want to achieve their real estate goals and can appreciate amazing service and results.

What these pages will tell you is that we have the experience and qualifications to get the job done; however, what these pages won't convey is our love, drive, and passion for serving our clients.This is something that an email or written word doesn't do very well but it's the reason we get up every day and it's the reason we’ve been so blessed with such success in the real estate business. Personal relationships are everything!

Our philosophy about real estate is that we’re here to help two parties (buyer and seller) find each other and complete a transaction with minimal fuss and headache. WE DO NOTbelieve in beating up the other party just because we're on opposing sides. Selling and/or buying a home is an emotional experience and we don't believe it is in the best interest of either party to make the other feel bullied or abused. Some feel it's their job to intimidate and thrive on unnecessary confrontation. We believe this is counterproductive to the basic desires of both parties to sell or to buy. We’re advocates and fiduciaries for our clients. Our job is to obtain the best price, terms, and conditions for our clients. We’re expert negotiators and have an exceptional reputation in the industry for making things happen with all parties still intact at the end of the transaction. Please don't mistake my kindness for weakness.The "good will" approach has served our clients very well throughout the years. Your real estate agent should never get in the way!

We’re very positive, optimistic and outgoing people. Our hobbies include just about anything fitness related, exploring good food and great wines, snow-skiing, travel, ice hockey, biking and developing meaningful friendships. We’re lucky to be fur-parents to a very spirited and spoiled Morkie named Jackson!

We truly love what we do and that makes us passionate with a servant’s heart.
