About Coastal Downsizing

Coastal Downsizing Auctions & Real Estate was founded on a simple belief: life transitions are hard, and families deserve a smarter, more compassionate way to navigate estate sales, auctions, and real estate decisions. Whether it involves downsizing, settling an estate, or closing a business, we understand how overwhelming the process can be. Our company was built to help clients move forward with clarity and confidence.

Since 2019, we have grown into a licensed, insured, and bonded Virginia auction firm serving Chesapeake, Virginia Beach, Norfolk, and the entire Hampton Roads region. Our team specializes in full-service estate liquidation, online auctions, and real estate sales. From fine jewelry, coins, and collectibles to vehicles, equipment, and residential property, if it can be sold, we can sell it.

Tom and Becky Lyons bring decades of entrepreneurial experience and a strong reputation for professionalism, empathy, and results. After growing a fire protection company into the largest in Hampton Roads, they shifted their focus to estate liquidation and auctions. Becky is a licensed real estate agent who is currently pursuing her broker license to support future growth. Tom’s background in business, marketing, and creative industries has shaped the company’s commitment to high-quality service and communication.

What sets us apart is how we work. Clients choose Coastal Downsizing because we listen, communicate clearly, and handle the details from cataloging and photographing personal property to coordinating clean-outs and managing the entire auction or real estate process. Families often express their appreciation for our honesty, care, and attention to detail during difficult transitions.

Today, Coastal Downsizing Auctions & Real Estate is a trusted name in Hampton Roads for estate sales, downsizing services, and online auctions. As the company continues to grow, our mission remains the same: deliver exceptional service and help each client move forward with confidence, one story at a time.
