Did you know that the Masters Club was originally called the Million Dollar Club?

I learned this news as I was interviewing Marge Reid of Lyon Real Estate. She qualified for this club in 1969, which was the first year she was in real estate. Soon thereafter, the name of the club was changed to the Masters Club because the public mistakenly thought the REALTORS® were earning one million dollars!

Marge has continued in her strong sales and has qualified for Membership every year. She spends 50-60 hours per week working and credits all of her business to her satisfied clients sending her referrals. She also gives back to the community by serving on the public relations committee at UC Davis Medical Center. Three of her family members are also Lyon agents with over 20 years in the business.

Marge has 6 children and 13 grandchildren. Her goal has been to work hard so that she can plan family trips. Her favorite was a recent trip to Disneyland where she surprised everyone as 26 family members boarded a plane to spend Christmas at Disneyland.

In her spare time, she enjoys golfing. For Marge, the real enjoyment of her long career in real estate is solving problems – she thrives on these challenges and says that the more complicated the problems the better. She hasn’t lost her enthusiasm for real estate even in these challenging times.

The upcoming events sponsored by the Masters Club are:
