Meet Lily Tran
Lily Tran spent 34 years in Honolulu, Hawai'i before moving to Jacksonville, Florida in 2018 to continue her real estate career. Her 26 years in Hawaii's hospitality management shaped a service standard built on treating every client with the warmth and care of 'OHANA – family. Since 2018 she has closed 331 transactions across Northeast Florida, earning the 2018 Rookie of the Year award, President's Circle recognition every year from 2019 through 2025, and in 2023 Florida Homes Realty & Mortgage's most prestigious honor: Top Sales Performance in Jacksonville out of more than 2,700 agents. She ranks in the top 1.2% of roughly 12,000 agents in Northeast Florida and has been an Elite coaching client with Tom Ferry for five years. Fluent in English and Vietnamese, Lily is an attentive listener who puts her clients' needs first from first showing through closing – and long after. Outside real estate she serves on her parish's finance division, runs marathons, and spends time with her husband Phillip, their sons Justin and Preston, and their Morkie, Lucky.

Services
Home Buying
Whether you're a first-time buyer, relocating, investing, or searching for your next home, I'll guide you through every step of the process – from the initial home search and property tours to negotiations, inspections, financing, and closing. My goal is to help you make a confident, informed decision without ever feeling pressured.
Home Selling
Selling your home is more than putting a sign in the yard. I provide a hands-on, customized marketing strategy that may include professional photography and video, staging, property preparation, open houses, online marketing, and strategic pricing to help your home stand out and attract qualified buyers.
New Construction
Buying new construction can feel simple, but the builder's sales representative works for the builder – not for you. I represent your interests throughout the process, helping you compare communities and incentives, review your options, navigate inspections and walkthroughs, and stay on top of important details through closing.
Relocation
Whether you're moving to Northeast Florida or leaving the area, I can help make your transition as smooth as possible. I'll provide local market knowledge, help you narrow down communities that fit your needs, and coordinate the many moving pieces involved in buying or selling from a distance.
Real Estate Investing
I help investors evaluate properties with the numbers in mind – not just the purchase price. We'll look at rental potential, comparable rents, estimated expenses, financing considerations, and resale value so you can determine whether a property makes sense for your investment goals.
Luxury & Move-Up Homes
When you're ready for your next level of homeownership, I provide personalized guidance and strategic representation from beginning to end. From evaluating properties and upgrades to negotiating price and terms, I'll help you make a smart move while protecting your interests.
Listing Preparation & Marketing
Presentation matters. I work closely with my sellers to prepare their homes for the market and coordinate services such as staging, professional photography and video, cleaning, pressure washing, and other property preparation when appropriate – all designed to create a strong first impression.
Negotiation & Transaction Management
A great Realtor's job doesn't stop once an offer is accepted. I stay actively involved through inspections, repairs, appraisal, financing, title, final walkthrough, and closing while communicating with all parties and negotiating to protect my client's best interests.
Referral & Nationwide Agent Connections
If you're buying or selling outside Northeast Florida, I can still help. Through my professional real estate network, I can connect you with a trusted, experienced Realtor in another city or state and help make sure you're in good hands.
Your Realtor 4Life
My relationship with my clients doesn't end at the closing table. I want to be the Realtor you can call long after closing – whether you need a trusted local vendor, have a real estate question, are considering your next move, or have a friend or family member who needs help.
