I can't say enough good things about Lori. She is easy to work with, super knowledgeable about all facets of real-estate and especially so when it comes to local market knowledge. She's very incisive and I found that she was able to completely understand everything I was looking for both when buying and selling my homes. In fact, she was able to help me clarify my own thinking around these transactions and I'm pretty particular. Her creativity and patient approach is really fantastic She has a wonderful sense of humor that helps take the edge off of the often stressful process of buying a home. She gets 6 out of 5 stars and I'd highly recommend her to anyone looking to buy or sell a home.

Lori goes the extra mile, and then some! She came highly recommended from friends I trust, and I can't imagine going through my first home buying process with anyone else. She is an expert, and willing to roll up her sleeves to research any little detail and go above and beyond to help. She knows how to manage the delicate negotiation process with integrity and kindness and works to make all parties happy. Thank you, Lori!

Lori helped us purchase land in La Conner about 4 years ago. When we decided not to move forward with building, Lori helped us sell the property. Her knowledge and experience were so valuable in both the purchase and sale. I would highly recommend her services. Thank you Lori!

We used Lori as our realtor to sell our house and buy our new house. She did a fantastic job, but it was much more than that. Loris experience, knowledge and advice were invaluable regarding the many facets of the whole buying, selling, and moving process. It wasnt just helping with setting and negotiating prices and considerations for both houses, but also recommendations for things such as prepping for the open house, packing, and organizing, and yard and garden clean up and maintenance. Another aspect that was extremely helpful was Loris network of people she has worked with to help along the way, with things both planned and unplanned, that went into everything related to all the work, completion of the transactions and moving to our new home. Lori did an excellent and outstanding job and is highly recommended!

We absolutely loved working with Lindsay! We bought our new property through her. Being that we are Canadian and not familiar with US real estate transactions we found Lindsay to be very knowledgeable. She was responsive and easy to communicate with and just an overall good person. We will definitely be using her again! Thank you Lindsay, we love our new place!
