"Lori,
I just wanted to thank you for all the hard work you put in to selling our house. You did a great job. I feel very thankful to have closed and to now have Mary and Jake with me.  Mary and I were saying today that our agent here is great, but we would prefer to have you with us now that we are on the buying end of it, which is a very high compliment to you.
Mary and I wish you all the best. We hope very much to stay in touch with you. You are a life-long friend."

"Lori did an excellent job selling our home during a time when the market was not 'seller-friendly'. Her knowledge of the market, persistence, and open communication made our experience a positive one. She is our realtor of choice!"

-Rick & Deborah King

"Dear Lori,

Thank you for the work you did in facilitating the sale of our condo.  In this very difficult and uncertain real estate market, you gave us wise and realistic counsel on pricing, renovations, and marketing.   We received two offers within two weeks and closed within six weeks of our listing.  You are impressive. With your brilliant staging, our 30-year-old condo “showed” well; the open houses were well run. From start to finish, you stayed in great contact with us, letting us know how our “deal” was progressing.  We appreciated your cool, calm, and humor when we had a few bumps along the way.  Your attention to the details saved us money.  You were truly our advocate in this process.

We are thrilled with your services and are delighted to refer you to others—as well as use you for our next real estate transaction!  We are proud to call you our agent and our friend."

"Lori was extremely important in the success of this transaction. She helped us from the very beginning in preparing our home for the market and was with us encouraging us every step of the way. She always went above and beyond our expectations and there is no way we could have purchased our dream home in an amazing location without her help. We had toyed with the idea of selling our home ourselves, but decided that we would trust the sale to her. At the end of our sale and the purchase of our new home, my husband and I were laughing at ourselves thinking we could manage it on our own.

On top of Lori's personal help, she recommended particular people to us to handle our new mortgage loan and title company and without the expertise of those people, the process would have surely been frustration. As it was, both our sale and purchase closed on the same day and we were able to move our little ones right into their new home without much of a transition.

During the preparation of our complicated purchase, Lori also stepped in and gave recommendations to the seller of thing to fix and made our new home's condition much better than we expected it would be in.

All in all, we owe a great deal to Lori for all her help and patience as we dealt the a difficult market together. I would recommend her to ANYONE that is thinking of buying or selling a home. I also wouldn't recommend that she change anything about her practices. We are 100% happy."

"Lori DeVore is a consummate realty professional.  She quickly got to know our unique needs (out of state sellers) and developed a strategy to quickly sell our house.  Lori put a tremendous amount of effort into the marketing of our home and the results showed it. It took less than a week from listing to get the first offer.  Our previous agent had the home listed for almost eight months.   In Lori, you will find a dedicated pro who will look out for your interests. You get the feeling that she is working exclusively for you. She stays in touch with you constantly and takes on all the burdens associated with home selling. She is pleasant and a joy to work with. Choose Lori and you will be a satisfied client indeed." -Mike & Jeanette McNamara

"I have worked with Lori DeVore on four real estate transactions with complete satisfaction. We have bought three homes and sold one. We chose to have Lori represent us because of her honesty, professionalism and knowledge of the real estate market. When we work with Lori, we’re confident that we are getting the very best service and quality." -Robert Stalder

"In a nutshell, Lori was perfect for us. We actually interviewed three agents before we decided that Lori would represent us the best. We were not at all savvy about the job market or what was required to sell our home. Lori helped us through the entire process painlessly and made our experience a comfortable one. " -Barbara and Paul Mayr

"I have had the pleasure of Lori DeVore working with me on the selling of my house in Tacoma, WA. Lori was everything I hoped for in a real estate agent, but not sure I would find. I was happy in both phases in the selling process; 'selling the house' went much better than expected. Due to Lori and her contacts with other agents, my house was sold within a few days of being listed.

Lori's real value was shown in the phase between the sale and the closing. When I sold my house, I was living in another state and could not get back to Washington to handle all of the details. Lori was my "eyes and ears" during the process and she was wonderful. Selling my house "remotely" required a high level of trust in the agent and Lori shone in this area.

I highly recommend Lori to anyone who is selling a house. Especially one that involves issues beyond 'just finding a buyer'." -Nick Fulgam

"Lori DeVore recently sold my home in Tacoma.  I was referred to Lori by a friend and was instantly

impressed with Lori's steadfast competence and knowledge.  Her thoroughness and dedication were equally impressive.  She took great efforts to understand my goals as a seller and to work as an advocate of those goals.  She has an outstanding grasp of her field and the overall real estate market.  I will certainly recommend her to anyone in need of an excellent real estate agent."
