GET TO KNOW CHRISTOPHER LYONS

Embracing Life

I’m a devoted father of three who has spent my life balancing between the tranquility of the countryside and the vibrancy of the city. With a wealth of experience across Ontario and Québec, I’ve worked in numerous cities and towns, either building homes or trading real estate.

Passions Beyond Work

Beyond my professional endeavors, I find joy in various interests. From music and film to delving into classical literature, architecture, history, and geography, I’m always eager to expand my horizons.

Living The Canadian Dream

As a true Canadian, I’ve spent 35 years playing hockey, relishing in activities like wielding an axe, gathering around bonfires, and enjoying the Ottawa River for swimming and fishing. I also enjoy exploring historical and geological sites across Eastern Ontario and the Ottawa Valley.

Hobbies

In my downtime, you’ll often find me engaging in hobbies like Judo & Kendo where I volunteer with the kids, I enjoy keeping fit in my local gym and enjoy walking and taking in nature. As a lifelong learner and educator, I’m constantly seeking new knowledge, particularly in areas like real estate investment and financial literacy.

Continuing A Family Legacy

Real estate isn’t just a profession for me; it’s a family legacy. My father, a real estate developer and broker, instilled in me a deep appreciation for the industry. Furthermore, both my grandfathers and their fathers were skilled carpenters, builders, farmers and men of high standing in their communities. They laid the foundation for my affinity towards  architectural design, working with my hands and strong family connections,. It’s a legacy I’m honored to continue, aspiring to work alongside my own children in the future, just as I did with my father.

Thanks

Thank you for taking the time to get to know me a little better.
