We cannot recommend Margy Lyman and Dudum Real Estate highly enough. From start to finish, Margy was an incredible advocate for our family throughout a very emotional and complicated home-buying process. After a previous escrow fell apart, we entered this transaction with a lot of anxiety, and Margy consistently kept us informed, reassured, and moving forward. She went above and beyond every single step of the way — coordinating constantly behind the scenes, checking on repairs personally, communicating with contractors, title, and our lender, and making sure no detail was overlooked. What stood out most was how much she genuinely cared about helping our family get into the right home. We never felt like “just another transaction.” Her responsiveness, professionalism, warmth, and dedication made such a stressful process feel manageable. Thanks to Margy, we are officially homeowners, and we are so grateful for everything she did to help make that happen. If you are looking for a realtor who will truly go to bat for you and guide you through every step with honesty and heart, we absolutely recommend Margy and Dudum Real Estate.

Margy did a great job selling a home for us. We were impressed by her accessibility, professionalism, knowledge, and proactive determination to overcome obstacles on our behalf. Through the entire process she kept a reassuringly “can-do” attitude that made it a very positive experience. We recommend her services without reservation.

Margy was great! She did a fabulous job working with me for months to find me property buying opportunities. We spent many weekend days and nights viewing and offering on properties that could work with my needs and budget in the midst of turbulent escalating mortgage rate times. In the end we found something that checked most all the boxes for me. Amen to that, the search is over!

Margy is highly experienced and knowledgeable about this area. She expertly guided us through a new home purchase and sale of our prior home. She is someone who finds solutions and works tirelessly. She's also very kind and thoughtful.

Margy worked tirelessly for us until we landed the property. She followed up after the closing to get us along to the next step. She always gave sound advice and represented our interests to the listing agent. She did her homework and gave us answers for our unique needs in a 1031 Exchange. She also bakes excellent banana bread!

For over a year, Margy worked with us as we looked at homes on and off in a specific area of Pleasant Hill. When we finally found the home that checked all of our boxes, Margy responded quickly. She helped us put in a winning offer, and got us in touch with an excellent roster of lenders, inspectors, and contractors who helped us close promptly and confidently. We highly recommend Margy for anyone in need of a reliable and friendly realtor!

Margy is an excellent agent who I would recommend to any friend or family member without hesitation. She helped us as first time home buyers and was instrumental in getting us through the process. She is very knowledgeable, experienced and a joy to work with.

Margy Lyman is an extraordinary Real Estate agent. She has energy to spare and quickly hopped to it for any request I made. She does not know what the word “procrastinate” means. Margy was always on top of new listings and timely communicated them to me. I was often the first person to view properties. This gave me an advantage and helped me negotiate a good deal on the property I finally purchased. Margy is also very knowledgeable about the Bay Area Real Estate market. I was new to today’s market and Margy helped me to quickly get up to speed. I asked lots of crazy questions and Margy thoughtfully gave me her honest opinion. I grew to really respect Margy’s advice. She is a smart realtor with lots of helpful resources. I originally had a list of property preferences, but this list tended to evolve over time. Margy was incredibly patient and flexible with every zig zag I made. She never complained that I was driving her batty. She just hung in there and supported me. Margy is also a friendly, outgoing person that always had a good rapport with the selling realtors. Her diplomatic, but assertively friendly relationship kept my deal together and resulted in my offer being accepted along with several repairs prior to closing. And Margy is a fun professional to work with. We never wasted time, but still had a fun time together. I came to look forward to our property viewings. I highly recommend Margy Lyman and hope to do more transactions with her in the future.

Margy was amazing to work with. She listened to our needs and what we were looking for. This saved considerable time and made our search for a home an exciting adventure instead of a chore.

I can definitely strongly recommend Margy Lyman is amazing to work with. She is a true professional!

Margy did a great job helping us sell our home. She prepared a comprehensive market evaluation to help us set the price. Things moved quickly from there and Margy coordinated all of the inspections, paperwork, listings, open houses and showings. She communicated with us daily and in the end presented us multiple offers. She is a conscientious, well organized realtor and a pleasure to work with.
