Get To Know Me

A Legacy of Real Estate Excellence

Real estate is more than a profession for Megan Lyng; it is a family tradition. Growing up in the industry and observing the success and genuine enjoyment her parents found in their company, Megan joined David Lyng Real Estate in 2005 to combine her personal drive with the firm’s decades of local heritage. Since beginning her career, she has established herself as a top-tier professional, now consistently ranking in the Top 1% of all Santa Cruz County REALTORS® in total sales volume.
 
A graduate of the University of California, Santa Barbara, she also broadened her perspective through educational programs in Florence, Italy, and at the Haas School of Business at UC Berkeley. Before coming to David Lyng Real Estate, she worked in the marketing department at Federal Realty Investment Trust at Santana Row in Silicon Valley. These experiences provided her with a global outlook and sophisticated business skills that she applies to every local transaction.
 
Megan specializes in the sale of luxury and distinctive homes, as well as rebranding and successfully relaunching properties that other agents were unable to sell. Her expertise spans a diverse range of property types throughout the Monterey Bay and Silicon Valley. She has built a loyal following by prioritizing:
 
  • Unmatched Marketing: Utilizing professional photography, aerial drone video, and strategic digital placement to ensure every listing stands out.
  • Expert Negotiation: Armed with deep market knowledge and a pragmatic approach, Megan is known for securing the best possible terms for her clients
  • Client-Centered Service: Megan believes that people are the heart of every transaction. She is a dedicated listener who guides her clients through every step of the buying or selling process, from pre-sale preparation and remodeling advice to the final closing of escrow.

Rooted in the Community

Having been raised in the area, Megan has an intimate understanding of the unique neighborhoods that make up the Santa Cruz and Monterey Bay regions. From the beachfront communities of Aptos and Capitola to the scenic landscapes of Watsonville and Soquel, she provides her clients with insider knowledge of the local market and community lifestyle.
 

My Philosophy

I believe that successful relationships are the product of hard work, positive thinking, commitment, and, above all else, integrity. My goal is to be a great asset in helping you achieve your real estate dreams while making the process as smooth and stress-free as possible.

Success Stories

First off, words cannot describe how lucky we were to work with Megan Lyng. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking in this Bay Area market. Megan understood the importance of getting our rental home sold to buy our dream beach house. She made the process seem like a piece of cake, always very calm and collected. She kept us informed, educated us on the process, and continues to follow up with us....

Success Stories

Megan listened to what we wanted in a home and contacted us about properties that had those qualities. We found our potential new home just as we were leaving the country on a pre-planned vacation. Megan was wonderful in seeing to the details on our behalf while encouraging us to enjoy ourselves. Going above and beyond is an understatement!

Megan is an excellent, well-rounded agent and a lovely person. She was in contact with me all the time, and I was aware of the progress of the transaction. The process took about 4 months, and Megan was interested as if she were looking to get the listing! I would definitely choose her to help me in my next transaction!

It was super easy. We were kept in constant contact and up to date on all tha...

I would absolutely recommend Megan Lyng as the seller’s agent. She is extremely knowledgeable about current market conditions. She did an excellent job marketing my property (photos, website, open house, showings), negotiating with multiple buyers to get the highest price, and getting the process completed quickly. Megan is also very personable and fun to work with! It was a pleasure working with her.

Megan did an excellent job selling our house. She is very knowledgeable and professional. We never regretted having her as our agent! After listing our house with another agent and having it on the market for 8 months, we were sceptical about trying again, but Megan was confident she could sell it, and she did! We had a challenging property to sell, but she believed in its uniqueness and how special it w...
