About Us

About Lilypad Home Services

Rooted in Springfield. Built on Care.

At Lilypad Property Services, we’re not just about buildings; we’re about people. We believe everyone deserves clean, affordable housing and a landlord who actually shows up. That’s why we started Lilypad: to make renting feel like a partnership, not a gamble.

Whether you’re looking for a new place to live or just need a hand with home repairs, we’re here to help with honest service, reliable communication, and a whole lot of heart.

Meet the Team

The folks behind the mission.

We’re a small, local team with a big commitment to doing things the right way. These are the people who keep Lilypad running and who make sure every home, repair, and conversation reflects the care we believe in.

Seth (1)
Seth Evans – CEO

Seth is the heart behind Lilypad Property Services. A lifelong learner and big-picture thinker, he’s always asking how we can do better for our tenants, our neighborhoods, and our town. Seth keeps us focused on our mission to make Springfield better, one house at a time. He lives in the area with his wife and twin daughters, and when he’s not working, you’ll likely find him reading a book, tending his garden, or playing a board game with friends. Friendly, curious, and grounded, Seth leads with vision and compassion.

Karen (1)
Karen Cleaver – COO

Karen keeps things running smoothly behind the scenes. With a strong background in operations and a natural gift for organization, she’s the one making sure our systems work, and our team has what they need to succeed. Karen is also a mom of seven and brings that same nurturing spirit to her role at Lilypad, balancing care and structure in every detail. She's passionate about helping others, building community, and making sure everyone feels supported.

JamesHeadshot
James Cleaver – Maintenance Supervisor

James is our go-to guy for anything that needs fixing. With over 25 years of experience in painting, woodworking, and home repairs, he brings craftsmanship, reliability, and genuine pride in a job well done. He believes in working until the customer is satisfied, and he’s got the skills and the heart to back it up. Whether he’s swapping out a faucet or mounting a TV, James treats every project with care. When he's not helping our tenants, he’s likely spending time with his family or working on a creative project.

Handyman Services

Here for the small stuff that makes a big difference.

We know what it’s like to call a handyman and never hear back, or worse, get a half-done job.

That’s why we have James on the team full-time. His work ethic and attention to detail are the real deal, and we’re proud to offer his services to both Lilypad tenants and the wider Springfield community.
