The biggest compliment I can pay to Lori is that she is one of the few, solid broker expert advisors. Not only is she extremely well connected across CRE, RE and finance her efficient, machine-like precision is highlighted by her organized follow-through and action, providing the ideal desired outcome: a closed transaction where everybody wins. An instrumental power player, if I could clone Lori, dealing with only her and her twins, my bank account would be certainly 10-fold. - LUKE ULMER, Colleague

​
One of the most important things I value in a real state agent is a good listener; I don’t want to waste my time looking at property that isn’t a good fit. Lori is amazing. She does her homework and she’s not only fun to work with, she’s intelligent, conscientious, detail oriented and prompt. I happen to know she changed personal plans to show me a property on a Saturday evening. I highly recommend her. - AROLYN BURNS LPCC, LMFT, Client
