Lori had a plan from the moment she walked through our house. She did her homework and executed her plan. She kept us on task, help prioritize what to focus our limited time on and did an excellent job communicating. She is enthusiastic and detail oriented. I would recommend Lori if you're looking to get your house sold.

We couldn't be more thrilled with our experience! From the very beginning, Lori was professional, knowledgeable, responsive, and truly went above and beyond to make the entire process smooth and stress-free.

The results speak for themselves -- our home SOLD in just FOUR HOURS! ?? We were absolutely amazed at how quickly Lori generated interest and brought the right buyer to the table. Her expertise, marketing strategy, attention to detail, and knowledge of the market clearly made all the difference.

If you're looking for a realtor who is dedicated, hardworking, knowledgeable, and knows how to get results, we highly recommend Lori! We are incredibly grateful for everything she did to sell our home and would gladly recommend her to our family and friends.
Thank you Lori!
Lori was professional, patient, knowledgeable, communicated well, gave excellent feedback, and in the end found me the perfect home through her experience and talent. It is not possible to have a better experience than I did.

Lori guided us over the course of months to curate the sale of our estate home. Lori executed our home going under contract in 3 days from the first showing. We received four offers with a final sale price of 10% over asking price. The closing process went smoothly and communication was crystal clear.

In the months leading up to the transaction, we had several home projects to complete. During that time, Lori helped us find quality reasonably-priced contractors for several projects. We discussed the necessity and/or value of projects and impact on the home value. She kept us aprised of the ebbs and flows of the local market. Together we watched similar transactions.

Lori was our first realtor and our first friend in Powell. 16 years ago she helped us find our first Powell home. When we sold that home 11 years ago, Lori executed that home sale going under contract in two days with multiple offers.

We consult with Lori when we're contemplating large home improvement projects when selling our house isn't even on the radar. This is our relationship with our realtor. Lori is our trusted advisor and friend.

When we went to purchase our third Powell home this month, Lori was already talking about how the features of that home would impact resale years from now.

What more can we say? Lori did it again!
I cannot give Lori enough compliments or say enough nice things about her when it comes to our experience with her. She was the centerpiece of us finding our home. Her knowledge, organization, communication, and honesty was what was needed to fi...keep reading
I cannot give Lori enough compliments or say enough nice things about her when it comes to our experience with her. She was the centerpiece of us finding our home. Her knowledge, organization, communication, and honesty was what was needed to find our dream home. It was a pleasure to work with her, and I cannot recommend her higher to anyone looking for a home.
Lori is the Best! I was just reading through her reviews and I am not the only one to state that. Lori has represented me 3 times and it's impressive how many people who left reviews are repeat clients. That speaks volumes. She knows the market an...keep reading
Lori is the Best! I was just reading through her reviews and I am not the only one to state that. Lori has represented me 3 times and it's impressive how many people who left reviews are repeat clients. That speaks volumes. She knows the market and is a great negotiator. A great communicator, Lori updates you and goes the extra mile(pun intended - she is a tri-athlete).
Best part? She makes it fun! Highly recommend!
LORI sold the condo & kept us well informed.

She took care of everything. We sold our parents condo. I felt this was not going to be easy. She made it easy
She is very knowledgeable in the market currently. Also very efficient and always keeps you well informed.

Lori was absolutely amazing and we are so grateful that we had the opportunity to have her as our Realtor. My family and I are relocating from out of state and Lori made the process as easy and seamless as possible in a very competitive housing market, which is no easy ask. From the first conversation we had with Lori, we knew she was going to be the perfect fit for us. Her knowledge of the area, expertise, candor and overall demeanor were top notch! Lori went above and beyond for us during the home buying process; she is extremely responsive and communicative no matter the day or time. When she is working with you, she treats you like you are her only client in the moment; she gives you her undivided attention and makes herself available to answer all questions and walk through different scenarios, put offers together, work through negotiations, etc. We will recommend Lori to anyone looking to buy a home in the Columbus area. She truly is the best and by far one of the most professional realtors we have ever worked with. Because of her, we found our perfect home!

I worked with Lori to buy 2 homes now and sell 1. She has been great on all occasions and wouldn't use anyone else at this point.

Lori was there for us when we bought our first house, sharing her years of experience with us, listening to our questions and requests, and sticking with us until we found the house we wanted. When the time came to sell, we immediately called Lori. She knew exactly what needed to be done to keep us on a tight schedule, was a great negotiator when we received offers, and gave us up-to-the-minute updates when we were out of state as the house was put on the market. We consider ourselves very lucky to have worked with someone with her level of expertise in real estate sales and would return to her in a minute if we ever decide to move back. She's top notch!

We met Lori when we were trying to buy a house for the first time. We loved working with her and appreciated her honest advice and how patient she was with us. She helped us sell the house by walking us through the process thoroughly and always being communicative. She had lots of great recommendations for other related services in the area so that we could get all the prep done as fast and easy as possible. We were so lucky to have met her and work with her in OH.

Lori is just plain exceptional. She has her customers interest at heart and is completely professional and knowledgeable. She is what I call a true pro. I would certainly recommend her to anyone and Cutler is fortunate to have her on their team.

Lori is just a great person and very professional at the same time. We looked for years and ran into her at open houses. She was patient and always kind with us. We know many realtors; however, Lori just has what it takes to be one of the best realtors. We knew she would be the best fit for us. Culter is lucky to have her as part of your team!
