"I've purchased two homes and sold one with Lori's services. I've always appreciated her honesty and knowledge. She doesn't waste your time or try to push a property that you don't need. She was always available when I had questions and kept me informed throughout the whole process; showings, inspections, appraisal, survey, etc. The sale was smooth from beginning to end. The house was under contract within 4 days of it being listed on the market. Very happy with the results."

Recommendation
"I don't usually answer surveys because most people do an acceptable job. That was NOT true for Lori. She went above and beyond all expectations for an agent. She knew we were not in town and was VERY understanding of my questions and always available to answer them. She took my daughter to various houses and spent a considerable amount of time looking at houses only to have us decide NOT to buy. When circumstances changed this year, we used her again and she continued to be helpful and understanding. She knew this was for a college student and a friend and realized that a renovated apartment would not be our first requirement.
This apartment was bought during the holiday season. Not only was she always available to answer questions after "working" hours, she was also available during the holidays. She was available when realistically, I thought she shouldn't be! She is dedicated to her trade and loves her job which is shown in both her work ethic and her devotion.
When I was unconcerned about a couple of issues that were urgent, she explained and encouraged action on those items. She knew when to encourage and when to step back.
She is an excellent agent and you are very blessed to have her as one of your agents. I would strongly encourage anyone to use her as their agent."

"My experience with Lori was the best and I greatly appreciate everything she did. I believe she went above and beyond to help me through this because she understood how important it was to me. I was very stressed because I didn't understand a lot of the financial aspects of buying this home. Lori was always helpful and reassuring that everything was going to be okay. When I had trouble getting the proper information from my loan officer, which was most of the time, Lori would contact him and make sure he got back with me and gave me the information I needed.
Lori was always great about answering my calls and returning calls at any time of the day. She was always helpful with information. Considering I was not able to be there to visibly see the home, she was my eyes and ears. Lori was always reassuring and comforting whenever I was stressed or nervous while going through the process of buying my home. Even after everything was finalized, Lori still offered to help in any way.
When the situation became urgent, she immediately went into action. If it wasn't for her prompt attention and action, I would have missed the purchase.
I really don't have enough words to express my gratitude and appreciation for her help and understanding."

"My husband and I stopped in the office last winter because we were planning to purchase a home sometime in the near future, but we were not quite ready to buy. That day we met Lori Delora. She was very knowledgeable about the housing market and very helpful to us. Over the past year she sent us listings of homes that were for sale that were in our price range. She was not pushy at all and listened carefully to what our likes and needs were. She is very professional and my husband and I felt very comfortable with her. That is why we came back to her when we were seriously wanting to purchase a home.
During the purchase of our home, another agent, Susan Summers filled in for her when she was unavailable. Where one left off the other filled in. That's the best team work you can get. Both were excellent and very hard working as they were dedicated to the purchase of our new home. Thank you Lori and Susan!!!!!"

I feel Lori understood what I had told her over the phone a 1000 miles away about exactly what I was looking for in a home, and she nailed it !
I will highly recommend Lori DeLoera to all I know seeking their dream home in Florida, I feel she can almost read minds as to what kind of property people are looking for
Lori DeLoera was also very kind and helpful in all phase's of buying a property, Lori was at my service at all times, with phone calls, texts and showing any property.
Lori was always available in all ways, including after hours, her days off, from her home etc.
Lori has even helped me with getting info about town service's electric company etc, after the sale ! Lori makes me feel ok with contacting her with any conserns long after the sale !"

"Lori really excelled in the negotiation with buyer. I appreciated her looking out for my best interest and understanding what I wanted from the process.
Lori was always there to answer questions, communicate with buyers and just generally holding my hand through the process. I would highly recommend her to any prospective seller"

"Lori took my first phone call in the evening and returned my call right away. She answered all of my questions to my satisfaction. She went over and above the line of duty to get this property closed while we were in Florida. This was quite an accomplishment because the bank was slacking a bit with their part."
