Lyon Stahl Investment Real Estate

"Simply put, I am filing a complaint against Lyon Stahl principals Woody Stahl and Brett Lyon with the Department of Real Estate for gross negligence for their property management arm of Lyon Stahl called Fortify Property Management. I also have experienced the same culture of lying and a revolving door with personnel at their investment real estate company. I passed on listing 4 buildings with them. I found it too risky to put a high dollar transaction with a company that has the top guys not acting in integrity and that culture continuing at their companies. The Lyon and Stahl principles claim the management co when they want to get your business and hide behind being ‘passive investor’s when there were failings. Brett wrote that he was a “passive investor” when confronted with gross negligence at his management company. Woody completely ducked any communication or acknowledgement and did nothing. Past employees and LLC business filings confirm they are both active Fortify Property Management principles. The lack of integrity continued when I was shopping my properties around to sell. One of their agents flat out lied about having investors and offers coming in. He didn’t have his story straight when I queried him and uncovered his fabrications. The Lyon Stahl agent I did like left the company. He tried repeatedly to assist me to get help with Brett and Woody and the failing management co. If you want further details, see my review for The Lyon Stahl management arm called Fortify Property Management. Brett and Woody’s responses to challenges was to duck or make a promise and not deliver. This culture is forefront at their property management co and from what I experienced, with the investment real estate side as well. Don’t risk going with them, go to one of the top companies that is reputable."

"Top notch service and professionalism! I have purchased many investment properties all over south bay and these guys are head and shoulders above the competition. From day one to my initial consultation until closing, they were always available to run numbers, do walk throughs, negotiate with sellers etc .. I would highly recommend to anyone!"

"I had a wonderful experience working with Brett Lyon selling a small apartment building. Brett helped me with recommendations to get the building in better condition to sell, and then waited two years for me to list it. He always took my calls, gave me good advise, and used his vast network of contacts to refer me to services to improve the building. Once it was listed, we had multiple offers and the building went under contract quickly with a solid buyer. Lyon Stahl handled everything and escrow was very smooth. I highly recommend Lyon Stahl and Brett Lyon."

"Brett, Woody, and Duncan have now assisted us through two large investment property exchanges. On both deals they were able to bring in multiple buyers to exceed our selling price expectations plus provide us with excellent off market upleg options through their huge southbay network. We couldn't have any more faith in working with this team again on future deals."

"I had the pleasure of working with Woody Stahl from Lyon Stahl as our broker for selling our investment property, and I must say his service was nothing short of exceptional. From the very beginning, Woody demonstrated extensive knowledge of the real estate market and provided invaluable guidance throughout the entire process. He was proactive, diligent, and always accessible, ensuring that every aspect of the sale was handled smoothly and efficiently. Woody's professionalism, attention to detail, and outstanding communication skills truly set him apart. With his expertise, our property was marketed effectively and sold at a price that exceeded our expectations. I highly recommend Woody Stahl and Lyon Stahl for anyone seeking a top-notch broker who goes above and beyond to deliver outstanding results."
