Lori is fabulous! My husband and I reached out to Lori when we had our previous home on the market to see if she would be a good fit to help us search for our forever home. We started the process with her Thanksgiving weekend. Our house sold and we were still in search for a new home. She was very good at responding and making sure we knew of anything coming on the market. We were very stressed out and nervous as we had to be out of our house at a certain date and did not want to be homeless with two little kids and two dogs. It was a quiet period for the market and nothing was meeting our criteria. Lori helped our family find a rental home in Naperville while we searched for our home. There were not many options given we have two dogs but she found a rental for us quickly. We then had to be out of our rental in 4 months and Lori was determined to help us find the right home since we were on a tight timeline. Lori was great - she answered our calls at night, on the weekend, at her daughters volleyball games. She put in the time and effort and truly cared about our family. We saw multiple houses and Lori recommended seeing one particular house prior to the open house. My husband and I passed on it and she reached out again a week later saying I really think it would be worth seeing. We decided to go even though we werent sure we were going to like it. We fell in love with the house and made an offer immediately. If it wasnt for her following up with us multiple times we probably would have not seen this house and passed on it. Lori was very quick to write up our offer and provide guidance on the best way to make our offer look attractive and stand out from others. There were multiple offers and given her quick response, guidance on what to offer, her team and the lending team we were able to get the house. We also had multiple issues with our landlord during this time period and Lori was always there for us, reached out on our behalf, fought for us and helped us through everything. We truly could not have asked for a better realtor during this process. She was and STILL is there for us through everything. Shes a gem and extremely knowledgeable I wouldnt pick anyone else.

It is hard for me to find the superlative word that would express my appreciation for the tremendous job that Lori and her team did. Their photos, videos, and entire marketing campaign resulted in almost 100 showings and over 30 offers in just 4 days! Everything was closed and settled in less than a month! In addition, want to thank you and your entire staff for your support and kindness throughout this adventure. You are the Best!

With all of the recent media attention on the industry, it is important to differentiate true professionals from the mass of other so called "realtors". With Lori's background and education, she could have chose any path for her career, but I feel fortunate that representing buyers and sellers was her choice. Technology has provided us with so many tools to ensure we as buyers/sellers can remain educated. But without Lori, I do not believe we would have received as much as we did when selling our home, and I being aligned with her team is the ONLY reason we were able to secure the exact home we wanted in a HIGHLY competitive environment. Lori comes with a team! There is never a time when you are alone, and even for last minute needs one of her tenured team members was there to assist a moments notice. In addition to this, her connections with social media specialists, photographers, design/staging companies, contractors, finance professionals and lawyers; all lived up to the high standards she sets for her own business. We were actively looking for over 16 months, searching for the "unicorn" home. Lori and her team showed us many listings over that timeframe and truly understood what we were looking for. Their goal was not to sell us a home as fast as possible, it was always to ensure we got as close to 100% of what we were looking for as possible.... and we did! The connections and access we received due to her reputation, relationships and knowledge of the local market allowed us to get a home that most did not even know existed. Thanks Lori and team, and to anyone looking for a realtor, I cannot recommend this team more.

After living in the city for 10 years, we felt a bit overwhelmed when we first started exploring a move to the Chicago suburbs. Lori took the time to get to know us personally and figure out exactly what we were looking foraEUR"and she refused to let us settle for anything less, often reassuring us that the right home would come along. Sure enough, it did! Thanks to Lori and her strong relationships with her client base, we were able to find the perfect home for our growing family's needs. Lori was a pleasure to work with, and we're grateful for her support as we start this new chapter!
