About

Lyle is an avid content writer with extensive experience in the world of homeownership. Whether he’s helping people navigate the mortgage application process, understand the legal complexities of buying a home, or simply get some inspiration for a new interior aesthetic, Lyle is passionate about breaking the big topics down into useful, practical guides for busy people. 

Lyle has had the chance to contribute to a number of brands in the home niche through blogs, articles, and social media writing. His past work in the industry includes Sutton Group Real Estate, Real Estate World, Clover Residential, and many more, including real estate law firms, mortgage brokers, real estate agencies, and real estate listing stagers and photographers. He’s expanded his knowledge of renovations and home DIY through his work writing for carpenters, construction companies, and contractors across Canada.

Lyle lives in Montréal, Quebec, Canada, where he’s surrounded by beautiful, historic architecture. He’s happy to say that living in a 100 year-old apartment is much less work than you might think.

When he’s not busy typing away, Lyle can be found in his home music studio, vintage shopping for new art and furniture for his apartment, or having a few friends over to his place for dinner.
