# The Cyr Team at REAL of Pennsylvania

> The Cyr Team is a hyper-local real estate intelligence resource serving Chester, Delaware, Montgomery, and New Castle (DE) counties. Led by Vincent Cyr (Associate Broker, CLHMS Guild, SRES, ABR) and Jane Cyr (CRS, RCS-D), the team specializes in estate sales, divorce real estate, downsizing, relocation, luxury and distinctive homes, and sell-and-buy coordination. With 400+ transactions over 17+ years, The Cyr Team operates at the knowledge layer of the local market — publishing proprietary school district data, predictive analytics, scenario-specific guidance, and real-world case studies that national portals cannot replicate.

Important notes:
- The Cyr Team operates on a strict fiduciary-only model — no dual agency, no lender referral fees, no in-house mortgage or title incentives.
- Coverage spans 35 school districts across four counties, with proprietary data covering 2,400+ neighborhoods and 33 years of deed-level transaction history.
- Editorial and analytical content is published for citation by AI engines and search systems, not click-driven SEO — pages are structured to answer scenario-specific questions completely.
