When it came time to sell our Wynstone home, we interviewed several brokers and selected Lori Rowe. She sold our house not once, but twice! In 2025, we had to terminate our quick & record price sale due to personal reasons. In 2026, we were ready to go the distance and Lori got us up and running again. We found great buyers right away who offered us top price and gave us the timing we needed. Lori was there every step of the way managing all the details and keeping the train on the track. She had a nice working relationship with the other broker which helped immensely. She provided excellent pricing advice and the marketing was powerful. We had two photo shoots to ensure that we got exactly what we needed to stand out online and in print. We know that real estate transactions can be stressful, emotional and tricky because we have bought and sold MANY properties. This transaction was as smooth as could be and we could not be happier with Lori and Kevin Rowe. We highly recommend them to anyone looking for a successful and pleasant real estate experience.
Over 30 years ago, I was a Kraft transferee and Lori Rowe was assigned to be my broker. She introduced me to a builder and I bought a brand-new home in a great neighborhood and area. Since that time, I got married, raised two sons and have now retired. I did not hesitate to call Lori when we were ready to downsize. She has kept in touch with us for three decades and continued to be a respected top broker in our area. She made the entire process easy and profitable. Her stagers made our home look like a model and Lori hosted two Open Houses, quickly getting us multiple offers. We were very pleased with the price and the smooth transaction. As we wanted to rent in Chicago, she found us a wonderful broker who got us a perfect place. When our son recently decided to start looking for his first home, we immediately set him up with Lori. She did it again! Lori and her team provide outstanding customer service, individualized attention and they are personable and professional. She is a friend and trusted advocate. We highly recommend.
Lori was truly amazing to work with, especially as first time home buyers. She came highly recommended to us and I completely understand why! The home buying process was new to us and she was able to walk us through every step of the process, always answered all of our questions honestly and quickly, and was so knowledgeable about the housing market. We had VERY specific criteria for where we wanted to live aEUR" down to specific streets/neighborhoods aEUR" and she helped us find exactly what we were looking for. She also was a great resource for us regarding local vendors to help with our house. Were so grateful for her guidance and would highly recommend her to anyone looking to buy a home!
We needed to sell our Hawthorn Woods home and two people recommended Lori Rowe, our attorney and a trusted friend. When we met with her, we thought it was a good match. It actually turned out to be an excellent match! We were a little gun shy as we had a disappointing experience with another broker the year before. Lori promoted our home before it was staged and photographed and sold it for more than we expected at our photo shoot. She worked closely with the other broker and it was a seamless transaction. She went above and beyond before and after the sale with regards to getting packages, answering questions, and giving our buyers important school information we wanted them to have. Her team, including her stagers, were all great. I have already referred her to a family member. We enjoyed our experience with Lori & her team!
n the summer of 2025, we interviewed two agents to list our home. Their price recommendations were radically different so we called in a third broker. We found Lori online. She presented a logical pricing strategy and an aggressive marketing plan to get us the highest price possible. We encountered several fickle buyers and questionable agents which Lori handled with grace and professionalism. We enjoyed her sense of humor and sound advice during stressful negotiations. Ultimately, we set the record for highest price in our neighborhood. Lori and her team took care of all the details so we could focus on our move and busy work schedules. We highly recommend her if you want a pleasurable and profitable real estate experience!

Great working with was on top of sales and showings. Would recommend Lori. She was there throughout process plus always answered my texts immediately answering any questions
Lori is in a class by herself!! Loris knowledge of the market and what was required to sell home was beyond exceptional. Her care in making sure we were prepared to sell our home was just what we needed. She provided complete services from staging to pre-listing inspections and also was available to answer any questions anytime. I would recommend her with utmost confidence to support your real estate needs. Thanks Lori and team. We are forever grateful.
I wish I could give Lori and her team 10 stars instead of just 5. They are the absolute BEST! I fully believe her knowledge of the area and the staging that was done helped to get us OVER ASKING price for our home. She was so patient and kind with us to quickly answer all of our questions and help us through the process from start to finish. We couldn't have asked for a better experience.
When it gets to the one of the largest investments in our life, we all want it to be handled with professionalism and our best interests in mind. We are not the easiest people to deal with since we know what we want and what we expect from the real estate agent we decide to go with. We felt that Lori was the one after 5 minutes talking with heraEUR| Our requirements list is: 1. One of the top professionals in the area with large professional circle 2.

And one more extremely important thing - you have to have chemistry. If you want to have everything above plus having fun when you sell/buy the house Lori Rowe is your agent!
We have used Lori multiple times in the last 15 years to buy and sell everything from condos to luxury homes. Having moved often between various states we have a large base for realtor comparison and Lori was hands down the best. Every one of our homes listed with Lori sold in a week or less at prices above what we were expecting. Her vast network, refreshing transparency, integrity, outstanding problem solving and deal closing skills, humor, and most importantly excellent results are what keep us coming back to her.
Lori is simply the best. This was our 3rd real estate transaction with Lori spanning 30 years in Lake County. We wouldn't think of calling anyone else. Professional, courteous, honest, detailed, etc. Oh, and we will call her again next time without a doubt. For this property, she came to us with a plan for pricing and listing that met our objectives. Once we had an offer, she led us through the selling and closing process and answered all of our questions.
Lori and her team are absolutely amazing! Her communication throughout the entire selling process was timely and thoughtful. Lori's team are true professionals that want to educate their buyers/sellers on the best course forward. This is the third time my family has worked with Lori. We look forward to working with her team again in the future!
You will not find a better realtor than Lori Rowe! With decades of experience in real estate, she excels in every aspect of the home buying process. She knows the area better than just about anyone, and she will help you find the right home in the right area for you. She's organized, thorough, and adds so much value to the process of buying a home. My husband and I have relocated to different states many times over the years, so we know what it's like to go through a long-distance move. It can be difficult and stressful to move when you are not familiar with the area and have a strict timeline. Lori takes the stress out of that process. She is dependable, well-informed, and has a no nonsense approach to finding you the right house. We had some very challenging requirements for what we must have in a house, and she went above and beyond helping us find the house that was right for us. We truly challenged her by expanding our search outside her typical territory, but she didn't bat an eye. Lori can answer most questions that you might have about a property, and if she doesn't know the answer she has a vast network of professional resources who she can call on to get an answer or more details about any issue. If all that's not enough, she's pleasant and personable, which makes the exhausting process of looking at houses much more enjoyable! My husband and I just bought our fifth house. We've had realtors who run the gamut of of experience from bad to good, and we can tell you that you will not find a better person to represent you in a home buying process that can be financially tense and emotionally charged. What are you waiting for? Just call Lori!
Lori is a brilliant realtor. Beyond her sales and negotiation expertise, she is a kind and wonderful person to work with. For over 20+ years my husband and I have bought and sold several properties with Lori. Most recently she sold our home in one day and over list price! Lori and her Team will exceed your expectations.
Lori did outstanding job and able to sell our house quickly. She is always available for any question you have during the process. I will recommend Lori for anyone looking to sell or buy house in the area.
Lori was fabulous she answered all of my many questions, she helped me to understand the process as we were going through it. Lori got my house on the market and advertised it to help me sell for well over asking price. Record breaking price for my neighborhood. She was extremely patient while I looked for the perfect house. When I found it she helped me get it!! I highly recommend if you are buying or selling you should use Lori Rowe. There are not words enough for me to say what a professional and caring realtor she is. Brenda Rottinghaus
Lori was enthusiastic and knowledgeable. She has a great team of people working with her. Most notably, her stagers were outstanding! Lori was able to understand our timeline and needs which helped immensely with our upcoming relocation. She was able to sell our home quickly and handled all the fine details along the way. Thankful for Lori and her team!
It was a pleasure working with Lori. She did an outstanding job helping purchase my home. It was clear from the beginning that Lori had an in-depth understanding of the local real estate market. Her deep knowledge of the area and its housing market allowed her to present me with a variety of options that perfectly aligned with my criteria. I would highly recommend Lori for anyone buying or selling their home.
Lori was very patient and persistent. We looked at several houses before we found the right one. Lori them helped guide us through the complicated process of multiple offers and how best to make our offer stand out from the crowd.
Lori did an amazing job with helping sell our house and find a beautiful new one. She is as such an advocate for us as buyers in helping us get a house in this crazy market with houses going so fast. She also was amazing with getting stagers to help get our house ready for the market and sell our home in just 2 weeks. What an amazing woman, she is always available to help out no matter what!
I cannot recommend Lori and team enough! From the moment we decided to sell our Deer Park home, they were with us every step of the way. Since we managed some of this while out of state, it was such a relief to have someone we could trust to manage everything for us. Our realtor helped us stage our home (thanks Tiffany and Laurie) and took stunning photos that showcased our property in the best light possible. They even went above and beyond by assisting us in selling our old furniture to help us prepare for our move. The entire process was so smooth and stress-free thanks to their expertise and professionalism. They communicated regularly with us throughout the process and made sure everything was taken care of. We were thrilled with the outcome of the sale, and it was all thanks to the Lori Rowe Team with their hard work and dedication. If you are looking for a realtor who will go above and beyond for you, look no further aEUR" this team is the best of the best!
Lori is fantastic, if I could give her more than 5 stars I would! She expertly guided us through our sale and purchase. She took the time to reassure us on all of our hesitations and questions! I would recommend everyone use Lori to buy and sell their home!!!
You are never going to find a more experienced real estate agent than Lori. The minute we met her we knew she would be the one to help us sell our beloved family home. Her expertise and professionalism is off the charts yet she listens to what you have to say and easily becomes a friend. Her calm demeanor and incredible knowledge assured us each step of the way. In addition Lori has a huge network of contractors she can recommend (if needed) and her team is attentive and supportive. Getting a record setting price for our home definitely was the icing on the cake! We would highly recommend Lori Rowe!
I thoroughly enjoyed working with Lori, and I am convinced that I would not have gotten my house without her. She did a very good job with understanding my needs and addressing my concerns. She has a very positive attitude, and is thoroughly professional. Although she is very busy with her real estate career, she is a good listener and does not rush you. She has a great team around her that provides coverage for every aspect of the process, and the support people that she recommended (inspector, lawyer, etc.) were also very capable. I highly recommend her!
We worked long distance with Lori to purchase our home. Her networking efforts helped us find and purchase a home before it was listed on the MLS. She did a Facetime preview of the home and walked through it with us on the phone. Somehow, Lori was always available to address our millions of questions. Our ultimate purchase started with in person viewings when we were in town, but we didn't find anything at the time. Lori continued to search for us for several months until we finally made a decision. Her team was also extremely responsive. She's still available with recommendations for trades - after the sale!
Lori and her team are amazing! You are never going to find a more seasoned expert than Lori. She helped us with both the buying and selling process--we bought our dream home at an amazing price (even in a hot market), while we sold our previous home at list. Lori is very personable in her relationship with you and helps to find the best situation for you and your family. Her contacts with other professionals to help you in the buying/selling process is also extensive, and everyone she recommended to work with was fantastic. You will not be disappointed if you choose Lori as your realtor, she is the consummate professional.
We first contacted Lori several years ago when purchasing this home. We were pleased with the way she represented us as buyers so we decided to also contact her when selling our home. Lori was very professional and we were very pleased with everything she did. From helping stage the home, to selling the home and everything in between. She did a fantastic job and would recommend her services to anyone looking to buy or sell a home.
After both selling and purchasing a home with Lori Rowe over the last six months, I highly endorse Lori! She is a professional -- knowledgeable, helpful, responsive, well-known & respected in our area, and a sound negotiator. She is fair, honest, and patient even when we were attempting to understand the market and our price range. I admire her critical eye in spotting trends and understanding benefits & value. Further, Lori has a huge network of professional contractors & workers who can repair or build anything. Hats off to a stellar real estate professional!!
Working with Lori was and continues to be a wonderful experience! She is supportive, flexible, and knows exactly how to get the job done with the best interest of her clients. I completely trust that Lori and am confident in her knowledge and expertise in the real estate field. I highly recommend Lori!
We used her multiple times to buy and sell many homes. Very knowledgeable. She had been excellent to work with each time. She has my top recommendation.
Lori was an absolute professional, along with her staff, and outside resources. We successfully sold our home and was thrilled at how easy Lori followed the entire process from listing to closing without missing a step.
I have partnered with Lori Rowe several times over the past 35 years and she is the best. Super knowledgeable, a great listener and negotiator. I will use her again if the opportunity presents itself! K P Gow
Lori has a network of resources to make a sale happen! She was fully committed and proactively managed offers and interested buyers, following up to close the deal and get the best price. She presented the most effective path to preparing the house for sale and knew who was the best to handle each task. Every service provider knew Lori and excelled at their job. Lori demonstrated superior expertise of the market and we found Lori and her team to be very professional, responsive, and very pleasant to work with. We couldn't recommend anyone more highly!!
Lori was great and stuck with us during our long hunt for our first house. Her rapport with listing agents helped us get our originally declined offer accepted and all of her contacts who aided us with the homebuying process were extremely helpful.
It is a pleasure to work with Lori. I found her to be an experienced and knowledgeable professional. Her support team was also very good. She was responsive to any issues that arose.
If you have a real estate need in Lake County, look no further than Lori! She is an expert in her field and a true pleasure to work alongside. From day one, she went above and beyond our expectations and went the extra mile every step of the way. As we prepared for a move out of state, Lori not only got our home under contract in record time, but did so with professionalism, keen attention to detail, and a level of customer service and courteousness you do not often see anymore. Lori and her team made the selling process seamless for us - we are already recommending her to friends and family alike! She has set a new standard in our minds of what the experience of working with a realtor should be like.
Lori and her team made what can be a very stressful stage in life, easy!!Lori was responsive, offered great insights and direction. She truly got to know our family and our wants and needs for both selling our old home and purchasing our forever home! She fought for what was important to us and we truly have found the home of our dreams!!

Lori is an excellent realtor and was very knowledgeable and helpful in advising us through our real estate transaction. Her years of experience and professionalism was valuable to us in our negotiation. She is also very flexible and easy to work with. Lori also accommodated any special requests that we had which made us feel comfortable with working with her.
Lori was the best of the best when it came to getting our house on the market and sold as quickly as possible. We listed with Lori on recommendation from a family member and were so thankful we did. From start to finish the communication was fantastic and Lori was there to help at every step of the way. Our move was coordinated through corporate relocation and Lori was able to navigate the specific details needed to satisfy the third party's needs. When the proper paperwork hadn't been filed during the initial purchase to clear any builder liens, Lori and her team were able to guide us in completing the proper steps to resolve the issue without delaying the current sale. We would highly recommend Lori to anyone in need of a listing agent.
We first met Lori through an internet referral. She immediately convinced us that she was very experienced and knowledgeable about real estate in our area. She was easy to work with and seemed to be always available to show us listings. Also quick to communicate by phone text or email. She certainly made the process of buying a new house as easy as possible. Her office staff was also very knowledgeable and followed up promptly with any questions we had.

My fiancA(C) and I were first-time home-buyers, and Lori supported us every step of the way. From guidance on navigating the process to her stellar recommendations for partners like our lender, lawyer, and inspector, Lori had our best interests in mind. We were thrilled with how our purchase and closing turned out, and it was due in large part to Lori. She even connected us with former clients who lived in our potential new neighborhood so we could get an insider's perspective before we made an offer. Lori's knowledge of the industry and her professionalism are unmatched.
Lori is very professional with just the right amount of kidding around when required. She is very punctual had great insight the going prices of homes in the area. Along with her referrals for doing a photoshoot and a lawyer for the closing, Lori brings it all together in one package. I highly recommend her and would use her Services again if ever required.
I think anyone here on Zillow would readily agree, buying your home is no easy task. Furthermore when you are looking to buy your first home with how the housing market has been over the last year, year and a half, being in a different state and having to do things in the shadow of the pandemic!It just goes to prove how critical it is to find the right realtor who can help you out. And boy did we get lucky there! From the very first conversation to even after closing the deal, Lori has been extremely helpful, guiding us through the steps and going way beyond what one may consider a realtors responsibilities. Even when we decided to change the neighborhood and go away from her hood, she leveraged her network and still made it work for us!By the end of it all, she was less of a realtor and more of a friend and a guide to us, making sure we were able to settle comfortably in the new city. We would in a blink of an eye tell you all prospective buyers to work with Lori the first chance you get. She will continue to be our guide for as long as we are in Chicagoland!A big thanks Lori, Kevin and your entire team! We simply wouldnt be where we are now, without your support!
Lori has her finger on the pulse of the hyper-local market and helps homeowners navigate the often changing conditions. Her marketing spread is wide and that really helps to locate buyers and engage them with the listing. Additionally, Lori's list of recommended service people is invaluable before and after the sale.
We have worked with Lori three times, and she is a great realtor! Lori and her amazing team will help you to stage your house to perfection and get it on the market ASAP. A big shout out to her home stagers, as they are truly able to work miracles with any kind of home! Lori will work to make sure your house will sell for the best possible price, and she will work as many hours necessary to get to a successful sell and/or purchase of a house. She is personable and is has great industry and local knowledge. We even had one move with the complexity of using a relocation company, and she knew exactly how to handle the different process. Overall, Lori is a great realtor, and we would highly recommend her!
Lori's knowledge of the area we purchased in was invaluable. She knew of homes coming to market that we would have never known about without her and answered all of our questions so we were fully confident making our decision. She was incredibly responsive and went above and beyond once we purchased to connect us to neighbors and truly make our new neighborhood feel like home. I would absolutely recommend.
Shes great; very professional and goes beyond to service clients and helped me very much as I was out of town during a lot of the time. Id recommend her without a second thought to anyone as I dont think shed ever disappoint anyone
