Employee Spotlight, Lyle Williams

I am part of the Inventory Team in the Accounting Department here at Lewis, where I help manage and track budgets and inventory related to our planned communities. I enjoy the diligence the role requires and the behind-the-scenes insight it gives me into our planned developments, from the ground up.

Outside of Lewis, I am a licensed loan officer, working evenings and weekends. I am enthusiastic about educating people through the homebuying process, especially with how abundant misinformation is out there. I also use it to stay active in the real estate space, build strong relationships, and bring additional insight into the work I do here at Lewis.

I work hard to attend industry events, networking opportunities, and support grand openings when possible. I see those events as a fantastic way to build relationships, stay connected in the real estate space, and bring added value to both my loan work and my role here at Lewis.

True gratification comes from serving as a trusted resource, empowering people to make confident, informed decisions during one of the most significant moments in their lives. Representing Lewis while simultaneously expanding my influence in the broader real estate community is both fulfilling and drives me to continuously deliver exceptional value.

As an INFJ, connecting with large groups does not always come naturally to me, but I deeply understand the value and importance of building meaningful relationships in this industry. What excites me most is being part of moments like grand openings or focused networking events where I can engage with agents and industry professionals in a more purposeful way. Being able to build relationships and expand my reach not only helps me grow professionally but also allows me to bring more value to the Lewis community.

I aspire for prosperity—not just financially, but in personal growth and fulfillment. I am enthusiastic about active leisure, especially DIY projects. For example, I recently refurbished an oak China hutch and a matching kitchen table with upholstery, which was both challenging and rewarding.

Time management plays a huge role in balancing my side hustle, hobbies, and family life. Juggling all these priorities requires focus and discipline, but it keeps me motivated and grounded, fueling my drive both professionally and personally.

My why is to help others achieve stability and prosperity while continuously growing myself—both personally and professionally. Knowing that my work supports people’s dreams and strengthens communities keeps me motivated every day.

One of my biggest challenges has been balancing my dual roles—as a team member at Lewis and as a licensed loan officer—along with family commitments. Managing this juggling act requires strong discipline and focus, which aligns with my StrengthsFinder themes of Discipline and Achiever.

Thankfully, my top five strengths really reflect how I approach these challenges. My Discipline and Achiever strengths help me stay organized and purposeful even when things get hectic. Individualization allows me to connect meaningfully with people—whether it is understanding the needs of a client or collaborating with a team. And with Restorative, I am constantly looking for ways to improve systems, solve problems, and grow through every experience.

My Context strength plays a significant role; it helps me learn from past experiences and use that insight to make better decisions in the present. Whether it is drawing from past projects at Lewis or lessons learned early on in my loan officer journey, I am always looking at the bigger picture and using it to guide my next steps.

Balancing everything has not always been easy, but it has pushed me to level up, stay intentional, and continue growing in every area of my life.
