About Team Tara Lyons

Well, I guess I'm not sure where to start. So bear with me as I try to pass on why I can be a tremendous help to you. I hope you'll see that I try to become more than just an agent to my clients. I try to become a friend, and adviser.

With over 10 years experience in Real Estate, I have the expertise to help you buy or sell a home. I’ve worked on residential homes, condominiums and multi-units. Best of all, I grew up in the Quinte area. I know the area well and can inform you on what locations will best suit you and your family. Every city has it's "up-and-coming" and declining areas. Understanding which areas these are can help save you thousands in resale value down the road. Or it can help protect your family by moving into a safer area.

“I believe in matching people to the right home.” By asking the right questions, I help to determine the right home and the right neighbourhood for you and your family.

“I believe in family values.” Having been married since 1992 to my husband Tom, I understand the importance of family and how vital it is to choose the right area to raise your family in. I can also help you get more information on what is going on in the community. From determining where to go for a great meal or where to find out schedules for soccer or hockey. I work, live and participate in the Quinte community.

“Buying or selling a home is about my clients and their experience.” I always keep my clients informed throughout the home selling or buying process. I like to provide home buyers and sellers with a checklist to help make sure they don’t forget any important steps along the way.

“I want my clients to have a great experience when buying or selling their home. I know this can be a stressful time and I am determined to help make it an enjoyable process.”

On a more personal note...

I have been married for over 15 years to Tom, my friend and husband. After living in Guelph for six years while we finished our post secondary education, we couldn’t wait to move back to the Quinte area.

Having grown up here, it is in my blood. I love the beautiful Bay of Quinte. Tom and I have lived in many homes. Our very first purchase was a 30 foot sailboat and we docked it in Victoria Park for a season and lived on it!. Our second home was a 4-plex in Trenton and we fixed it up and sold it a couple of years later. Our current home is a condominium in Belleville. We love the freedom this provides. (No yard work).

While growing up here in the Quinte area, I have lived in Prince Edward County (down on South Bay), in the City of Belleville and City of Trenton(now Quinte West), north of Belleville and somewhere in between. I love this area and look forward to showing my clients it's true beauty.

My husband Tom grew up in Calgary and we met when he moved here to finish highschool. Tom and I currently have two cats, Peaches and Tigger. Don’t worry, I only talk about them if you bring it up. I promise. However, if you ever come over, I'm sure they would like to say hi!

If you are looking for an agent in the Belleville and Quinte area, who is knowledgeable and honest about the community, then I am your Real Estate Agent. I hope I passed on my enthusiasm for helping people, I love showing homes, meeting new people and working to help others get that dream home. Feel free to call me with any questions, the numbers are at the top of the web site. Or you can email me tara@taralyons.com, I always check my email, and I'll get back to you right away.

I look forward to helping you move

I would like to share with you a bit of information about myself.

I relocated to the wonderful City of Belleville in 1997 when both my husband and I transferred from a small community in Northern Ontario called White River. At the time I was a police constable with the Ontario Provincial Police and had served in several locations throughout the Province of Ontario.

I have been happily married since 1995 to my husband Doug. We have three great children. Two teenage boys James and Andrew and the youngest being our daughter Emma. I am a strong believer in the importance of family and the values that we instill upon our children.

My children are actively involved in many different athletic activities within the community. We can be found at soccer fields, hockey arenas, swimming pools, dance studios and at the gymnastics club. Having three very busy children demands that we be organized and work as a team to coordinate our schedules.

I have always had a passion for the real estate market and have personally enjoyed being involved in the process of building three of my own homes and the renovating of another.

I love animals. I have a soft spot for dogs in particular. I have a spoiled rotten 80 pound Golden Retriever who honestly thinks that he is a lap dog. Our family refers to him as the gentle giant.

I am an active volunteer with the youth in the Community. I have volunteered many hours supporting healthy active living for our youth. I began as a volunteer with the Thurlow Soccer Association almost 13 years ago when my son had turned three years of age and began to play soccer. My role since then has evolved to coaching, sponsorship coordinator and then into my present role as the Co-ordinator of the Thurlow Soccer Association. Now being a REALTOR with Royal LePage my community involvement has extended to such organizations as The Royal LePage Shelter Foundation, Walk a Mile in Her Shoes, Habitat for Humanity and our local Shelter Foundation as well.
