Founded in Astoria, NY, in 1996, Lyons Mortgage Services was born from the collaborative vision of Edith O’Donnell, George Sophocleous, and Nicos Tziazas.  Driven by a desire to serve the diverse communities of the New York area, they set out to redefine what it means to navigate the mortgage process.

Today, Lyons maintains its commitment to not only serve, but also to give back to their communities. Edith O’Donnell, Lyons CEO, was elected to two 5-year terms on the Glen Cove School Board, serving as President for the last 2 years of her term. She was also honored with a Long Island Power Women in Business Award. George Sophocleous, Lyons Chairman, served on the Board of Trustees of MIMA Music, an international organization that trains and manages musicians to lead community impact initiatives around the world. Nicos Tziazas, Lyons President, has been the President and coach of a community youth soccer club for over two decades.

Over the last two-and-a-half decades, Lyons Mortgage Services has helped many thousands of families achieve their homeownership goals and build for the future.
