Lance grew up in Bowling Green, Virginia, earned his undergraduate degree at the University of Virginia and his graduate degree at Indiana University. He and his wife, Liz, have called Bloomington home since 2010.
Before real estate, Lance spent 12 years in education as a school counselor with Indianapolis Public Schools and MCCSC, and in student life at IU. That background means clients feel comfortable and confident at every step.
He spent his teenage summers on his dad's construction crews and later co-owned daSilva Property Services, so he knows what a house needs before you buy or sell it. He also hosts the BTOWN Real Property Talk podcast.
Off the clock, you'll find Lance on a house project, at a local park with Liz, Levi and Lena, or training for his next marathon.
"Lance is great at listening to a client and then working his hardest to achieve what they are specifically looking for. I appreciated his direct communication, honesty, and great work ethic in both looking for places that fit and moving towards closing once a place was found. He was reassuring and calm during a stressful time and on top of everything, which I very much appreciate. I'd recommend him to anyone!"
"Lance was responsive and knowledgeable. He suggested appropriate properties for what I was looking for, was communicative about any updates, and has a large roster of contractors and was proactive about getting quotes when needed. If I have to buy a house again, he'd be my first call."

"Lance handled a difficult negotiation to help us sell our house in a timely manner. We were able to close the deal on time after the buyers tried several tactics to lower the price and delay. During this process Lance was very professional, listened to us, and he communicated us regularly on the progress. Lance is very knowledgeable on the Bloomington market as well as home renovations. I highly recommend Lance to anyone selling their home."
"So far the best realtor I've ever met!!! He always answered any questions we had and helped us get the best price for our home. He was also very dependable and exceeded any expectations we had. Lance is the absolute best!!!"
"Lance was extremely helpful and knowledgeable throughout the process of selling my home in Bloomington. In the run-up to putting the place on the market, he even had great suggestions for various local service providers to handle various bits of work that needed doing (e.g., handymen, plumbers, HVAC technicians). Once we opened, he made it very easy to compare different offers and negotiate as needed. He also kept me very well informed about all the details needed for closing, so everything went off without a hitch. Overall, I had a great experience working with Lance and his team and would strongly recommend him!"

We appreciate everything he did for us and absolutely would recommend him to anyone."
