"Lori was always available and wilingl to show us just about any property at anytime, and her knowledge of what we were looking for was EXACTLY what we needed. She hit the nail in the head and literally has been our cheerleader from day one making our home purchase happen. Thank you Lori-- you are a rock star!
Lori's character and integrity are what drive her. She made us feel as if we were the only one she was working with which we know was not the case. Her license plate says "U matter"....... that is exactly how we felt!
Again... attention to detail is Lori's expertise. There was not one stone left unturned."

"Lori is our neighbor. We had a great impression of her character when we entered conversations about her becoming our relator. Good character, which Lori definitely has, prevails as a leading cause for us to choose a relator. Lori was in our corner the entire time, professional, quick to follow up and move things forward, and she is a person of her word. She knows the business well and did an outstanding job despite the difficult market we were in!"

"When we spoke with Lori Ares, she seemed to really care about finding a good house for our family. She seemed knowledgeable about the area, what it takes to have our offer accepted, and she spent the time to talk to us about our needs. Lori did a great job quickly arranging inspections, negotiating on repairs, and helping us prepare an offer that got accepted."

"Lori sold our home 3 years ago so we could travel in our RV. When we were ready to find our forever home we called Lori and she happy to help us. It took awhile to find the right place but Lori was there every step of the way. Thankful for Lori's help and support.
Thanks again"

"We knew Lori Ares from outside of real estate, but knew her to be a good listener, hard worker, family oriented, in the business for a while-experienced. We had received some listings of her recent sales that came as post cards, so when it came time to sell, we reached out to her.
We are so glad we had Lori as our agent. She was available to take our calls/answer questions, took time to listen, act, follow up, and execute what she said she would do, was considerate of our feelings and thoughts, and a good communicator. We are very happy with the results and the process to get there. We would use her in the future (we are using her on our new purchase also) and we would highly recommend her to family, friends and neighbors. She is a joy to work with and she worked hard for us as our sellers agent."

"Lori Ares is the best in her field! She truly does care for the people she is helping. I haven't moved in 45 years and this could have been an overwhelming experience. Lori sat with me and helped me through every step....always was there to answer ALL my
questions and always made sure I was never alone in decision making. Thank you Lori, this was an exciting part of my life and I am so grateful you were a big part of it."

"Lori is incredible. We actually had bought and sold a house from her back in 2017 which was our first home. She sold that house for us too when we had to move to NY. We’ve always had nothing but awesome outcomes with her. So it was a no brainer when we decided we wanted to move to happy valley. She’s personable and kind and always goes above and beyond for her clients. If i ever had to move again, i wouldn’t even look at another realtor. We strayed from her once when moving back here from NY, which wasn’t on purpose but just happenstance, and I’ll never do it again. She’s incredible and truly listens to what you want and need out of a home."

"Preparing my Mom's home for the market was a significant undertaking. We met Lori early in the process and she was a true partner to our family. I appreciated her sensitivity to our family dynamic and she maintained total professionalism throughout the process. What I appreciated most was the help
Lori gave us prior to listing. She was available whenever we needed her and stayed on top of every detail - and there were a lot of them!
I would highly recommend Lori to any friend or colleague. She truly earned every penny of her commission and then some."

"Lori listens to you and takes your vision to heart. She works proactively to give you the best opportunity to see homes and to make a bid in a timely and strategic way. She's knowledgeable and professional. If there's something she doesn't know, she gets right on the issue, doing research and contacting other experts. We found Lori very easy to work with and very approachable. She's excellent at communication, and kept us well informed on new homes and timelines, strategies, etc. We can't say enough good things about Lori and her invaluable help to us in finding and buying a home. Anyone would be very fortunate to have Lori on their team."

"From Doug & Ruth -
Lori is the best broker we have ever been privileged to work with. Of the 9 homes we have bought and sold over the last 45 years she represented to us the most knowledge, experience and loyalty that we have ever had. In the up and down years of buying and selling, we were impressed with the confidence we gained in using Lori as our broker. She honored our desires, needs and beliefs and was still able to instill sound reasoning within us as she developed an excellent plan of action on how to price, market and sell our home.
Lori gave us creative ideas on how to stage our home that really worked. One of the most important things was her ability to adjust when we decided to sell our home a month earlier than expected because of the current housing market. She moved quickly to alter the game plan ending up in an - successful sale. It is because of her hard work in searching for a new home for us that we are able to buy the home we are now going to move into. It was amazing to watch Lori help in coordinating a purchase agreement of our new home only 5 days after we closed on the sale of our old home.
It always felt like Lori was working only for us even though we knew she had many other important clients. When Lori did not know the answers we needed to issues or questions surrounding the buying and selling of homes she had numerous, excellent contacts. We have used some of them and they were all wonderful, knowing exactly how to meet our needs. She has created a wonderful team to help coordinate every part of her home selling and buying effort.
We highly recommend using Lori has an excellent real estate broker to meet anyone’s needs.
Lori did such an outstanding and thorough job presenting our house that it sold within three days with eight offers that were all over the asking price with the final sale being for $55,000 over the listed price!
We could not have used a better broker than Lori.
We always felt that Lori was there to hear what we had to say and that she was always willing to talk with us about anything."

"Lori listened to our concerns and expectations and then shared her philosophy and strategies. Great communication throughout the entire process, which is exactly what we were looking for! There were no surprises and the entire experience of selling our home and finding a new one was incredibly smooth. We interviewed 3 realtors and decided to go with Lori and she did not disappoint. I would highly recommend considering her for your next home transaction!
Knowing our personalities and our selling situation, Lori suggested a pre-inspection. Can't say enough about what a fantastic idea that was to eliminate any surprises and prevent us from being in a financial bind with the purchase of the new house!
Lori is fantastic in everything listed above! We appreciated her expertise and her vast network of professionals that also helped with the process."

"Lori Ares was amazing! This is my mom's house and she was moving into a retirement community simultaneously, so we needed everything to go smoothly. She is 81 and in poor health so was not able to handle many of the details that a seller would normally be involved in. As a result there were a number of unexpected issues that popped up during the process, and Lori handled all curveballs like a champ. She was able to walk my mom through the process in a way that made sense to her, and was sensitive to the concerns my mother had about departing her residence of the last 50 years. I would recommend her highly!!"

"Lori was amazing to work with!! She is so knowledgeable and quick to share information that we felt very secure in the process. She had a solution for every obstacle we ran into and an answer for all of our questions. Being a native to the Portland area, she was able to give us details about neighborhoods that we would have not otherwise have known. Lori was always our advocate and would consistently go above and beyond during our stressful negotiation period.
Lori is amazing to work with because she really cared about getting us into our perfect home."

"Lori was recommended to me by my parents who had previously worked with Lori's husband Ron when he was a practicing real estate agent. Lori was so helpful and encouraging, and she really understood and prioritized our needs as first time home buyers! She was able to relate to us as a young and new family of 3, and made the entire process quick and easy. She was also very responsive and communicated with us excellently!"

"Lori Ares is a partner ... a member of the family in the process. Her main focus is on the seller and their needs. She takes every bit of the process personal as if it were her home she was selling. Continuous and informed communication throughout. She went well above and beyond helping coordinate everything while we were a great distance away. She is incredibly resourceful, determined and honest. She was a calming voice in a pretty hard situation just losing both parents and having to move through this process ... and she did it with us and for us.
Lori Ares will be the part of your experience in your home sale that you will look back on and know she did everything she could and invested her time and heart into your needs. She won't hold back on things that are difficult ... total straight shooter and you always know where everything stands from listing to closing.
We were blessed to have her as out agent ... if you get the opportunity grab her quick!! Nothing but the best!!"

"Lori Ares made me feel like i was her only client. Truly. No matter what time of the day or night, what she had going on or how busy she was she always took the time to make sure any concern or question I had was answered or addressed. I didn't have a lot of experience in selling or buying houses and Lori made the process extremely transparent and easy to work through. It truly was a pleasure to work with her and while I don't recommend a lot of people, I would recommend Lori without hesitation."

"I have known Lori Ares personally for almost 20 years and knew she would be the best realtor to sell our home.
My husband and I felt we could trust Lori with every aspect of selling our home.
Trust was key.
Lori sold our home quickly and with minimal interruption to our day to day lives.
We truly appreciated how simple and straight forward she made each and every transaction.
Because of her large network of connections within Berkshire Hathaway, Lori was able to connect with the right buyer for our home.
Lori's honesty, integrity and commitment to our best interest was key to our satisfaction."

"We were very comfortable with Lori from our very first meeting. She is quite knowledgeable and personable. Kept us informed on market considerations and helped in staging our home for sales. House sold within 10 days in great part to her representation. We would highly recommend Lori to others. "
Lori was critically important to the successful selling of our home and her ability to work with two strong personalities cannot be overstated. Should we find ourselves in a position to buy or sell a home in the future, Lori will surely be our choice."
