Rachel Lyon joined Midwest Real Estate in June 2019. Before getting her real estate license, she helped many buyers and sellers by making repairs that were required on homes for FHA and USDA loans. These projects developed into a career in selling real estate. Independence is home to Rachel, her three children, Garry, Olivia, and Rose and their fur-babies, Klaus, Alia, and Millie. Rachel graduated from Independence Community College with an Associate’s degree in Biology and from Pittsburg State University with a Bachelor’s degree in Biology. She is also a certified master gardener. In her spare time, she enjoys spending time with her children, working on furniture restoration projects and remodeling properties. Through her remodeling projects and selling real estate, Rachel’s love of architecture continues to grow.

An Independence native, Rachel knows Independence and the Montgomery County area well.  Her enthusiasm for Independence is evident to everyone she meets. With her passion for landscape design, Rachel volunteers her time to prune the trees in downtown Independence.

Rachel is a member of the Independence Planning and Zoning board, the SEK MLS committee, the National Association of Realtors, Southeast Kansas Association of Realtors, and the Kansas Association of Realtors.
