Lyn Landrian
ABR, GRI
REALTOR
Listing Partner
Team Leader | Lyn obtained her first real estate license nearly 25 years ago. She fell in love with all aspects of home selling, especially the clients. When personal reasons forced her to leave the business, she always vowed she would return to the business she loved. Well, she is back and going strong.
She mainly works with sellers; however, she also helps buyers by referral and her family members. Lyn particularly likes the feeling of helping others. She defines her role as a person who enjoys helping her clients reach their objectives. Whether it is the thrill of owning their first home or selling their home, she likes the situations where both seller and buyer are winners and she strives to achieve that goal with every transaction. She realizes the trust and commitment a person has put in her and is very conscientious to do her best to exceed the expectations and deliver the best service available today. She feels honored when a buyer or seller allows her to be a part of such a major decision in their lives. As a multimillion dollar per year producer, you are in good hands with Lyn. |
Good afternoon. I have been working with Lyn for the past 8 months to find the "perfect" house. My daughter, son-in-law and Lyn put hours and hours looking at houses for me before when I was living in Seattle. I moved to Park City in June, and started again. I had been approved for a loan, but the houses I was looking at had contracts on them before we were able to make a bid. Lyn worked very hard and looked on my behalf. Then November 15, 2006, we found the house that was just what I was looking for, and just a little over a mile from my daughter's house. What a bargain! We were able to agree on a price with the seller and we closed on December 18, 2006! If it wasn't for Lyn's hard work, I would still be renting! I will gladly use your agency again. I really appreciate the way Lyn stood by me and didn't give up until she found the perfect house. I am a first time buyer and Lyn found me great deals and practically held my hand through this "ordeal". It was a pleasure meeting Lyn and working with a buyer’s agent. I will refer my friends and family to Lyn and your company. I really appreciate all she has done for me. Thank you. - Roberta R Griswold
Lyn, I wanted to thank you for your work on my mother’s house. I really love all the feedback opportunities you have set up on the internet. It is convenient, you have been great and I appreciate it. Thanks again. - Karen Weber
