Born and raised in Toms River, I take pride in calling the Jersey Shore home--and in helping others find their place here too. As a full-time Realtor(R) with nearly a decade of experience, I've built my business on dedication, trust, and results. From first-time buyers to luxury waterfront estates, I've successfully helped hundreds of clients achieve their real estate goals, selling over 50 homes a year throughout Ocean and Monmouth Counties. My specialty is waterfront and coastal properties--homes along Barnegat Bay, Snug Harbor, Seawood Harbor, and other lagoon communities. I understand not just the market, but the lifestyle that comes with living by the water. Whether you're buying your dream home or selling one filled with memories, I'll guide you through every step with honesty, communication, and expertise. Beyond real estate, I'm deeply rooted in our community--serving on the board of the Rotary Club of Toms River and Each Stitch Counts. I'm also a proud wife, mom of two, and animal lover with three dogs and a horse. When you work with me, you get more than an agent--you get a partner who treats every transaction like it's her own home. My clients become family, and I'll work tirelessly to make sure your next move is the right one.

Lori did an amazing job selling my parents home. She was always available and very responsive to any and all questions we had. She was a pleasure to work with and I would recommend her to anyone looking to buy or sell their home

Lori was amazing to work with. She is extremely knowledgeable about the market and area and helped us find the location that is right for us. We saw multiple listings and she kept telling us not to settle. She takes her time with you and is very honest about what she sees in each house. She even negotiated credits for us and did not hesitate to make calls for any issues or concerns we may have had. She has great referrals which helped as we are new to the area. She was always available and in constant communication. She is definitely on your side and makes this process as easy as possible. Would recommend her to anyone!!!
