I knew Lori from my neighborhood, saw her selling quite a few homes and chose her to show me several homes on my list. From then on, Lori happily showed me in any home I wanted to see - once within hours of it being listed. She was always at appointments before me, and greeted me at the door. Although it turned out to be more of a seller's market, I was able to purchase my first home without much concession. My new home checks most of my boxes, and I'm happy with the purchase. Thank you Lori for your patience!

Lori helped to locate good options that met our main criteria for both transactions. I appreciated her input and narrowing down the huge number of neighborhoods in this area to what really fit what we were looking for. It was nice to trust that the negotiations and closing process were handled well. Anything that came up was resolved quickly. We will call Lori first when we are ready to buy or sell again.

My husband and I was looking at real estate from out of state. Lori spent time getting to know our likes and needs prior to coming to look at properties in person. She really had a great handle on what we wanted and spent countless hours working with us.She opened our eyes to all the pros and cons with each property. I would highly recommend her to all.

Lori took the time to listen and understand what we were looking for. We do not know Fort Myers very well, so her insights and suggestions proved to be very valuable. She found us a house at a decent price with the majority of our boxes checked off very well. We were referred to her by friends who looked for a house with her for three years. She was professional and persistent in her hunt for their house and ours. We will be glad to refer friends and neighbors to her in the future.

Lori is a true professional. She helped us purchase the perfect vacation condominium six years ago. This year she found us a single family home to purchase and after only two months she had our condominium sold. Her work ethic and extensive knowledge of the Southwest Florida real estate market is incredible. She listens to her clients and delivers.

Lori was very efficient in getting our house sold. We were not in Florida at the time and she went beyond what we would normally expect in preparing our house for sale. She also made very good recommendations regarding the title company and FIRTPA consultants, necessary to our sale as we are not resident in the US. Lori also provided excellent reassurance and guidance in dealing with the inevitable hiccups along the way. She gets a very high recommendation from us.

Lori was diligent, friendly, kind, positive, professional, knowledgeable, patient and a pleaseure to work with as we searched to find our dream home in a new state. She knew the Ft Myers area well and shared her insights with us. Lori worked extremely hard for us and never gave up. She reviewed and discussed with us our home needs and what was most important in a new home to our family. Lori reviewed listings and previewed homes for us and sent us new listings and market updates that matched our criteria. I trust Lori and would highly recommend her to anyone interested in find their perfect new home in the Ft Myers area. She will help make the search and buying experience pleasurable and successful!

We had a fantastic experience with Lori. She is very knowledgeable about the market in her area. She understood exactly what we were looking for and helped us understand all the little things to look for when buying a condo. Once we settled on a place, she knew what was a reasonable price to offer and what details needed to be included in the offer. Then she went to work with the selling agent and fought for us until our offer was accepted. We would have had no idea of all the particulars that needs to be thought about and included when making an offer to buy a place.

Buying our vacation home was a big venture. Our realtor Lori Guthrie made it a good experience. We found our dream home in 4 days. Lori was so easy to work with. She was professional and personable with experience in what we needed after purchase. Lori helped us through the whole transition since we were not knowledgeable in contractors, insurance etc. and were from out of town.

Lori was a wonderful agent to work with. She showed us houses and was very knowledgeable and forthright. She answered all of our questions, and if she didn’t know the answer, she would find it for us. Lori helped us with all kinds of things since we are new to the area, such as business to try, local ordinances etc. I can’t say enough about how nice it was to work with Lori. She is professional, friendly, works with your schedule, and was always available for questions very quickly. If we ever sell our house, we will for sure have Lori be our agent.

Lori was amazing! We had one day on vacation set aside to see what we could find and she lined up several appointments for us and took us to see them all. It was not an easy day as we had our two young children with us. We looked at various condos and communities and Lori had answers to so many questions for us. If she did not know about a specific community she found out and was quick to let us know the information she received. She was a great resource in buying a second home and even using it as a partial income property. Her knowledge of the area and the resources she provided were unbelievable! We feel so lucky to have found her and are so excited with our purchase. All communication was clear and quick. We will definitely look to Lori if we are purchasing in the area again! One more thing to keep in mind - we live in Houston and bought a condo in Ft. Myers. She did so much for us given the fact that we were not in the same state. Thanks Lori!!

We just closed on our house a few weeks ago, and I could not have dreamed of a better realtor. My husband and I lived in a different state, and she managed to maintain such good communication that I barely realized we weren’t there in person dealing with everything! I can’t even write how highly I recommend her. She is honest, fair, and she will go to bat for you if need be when it comes to closing on a home. She helped us narrow down a handful of homes to see on our one weekend in Fort Myers, gave us great advice about them, and we found our first home within 2 days of the three we were there. Then she dealt with quite a few irritations during our closing process, kept us informed, and answered maybe 300 phone calls from me asking what things meant. I love her, my husband loves her, and both of our families are extremely grateful to her for helping and taking care of us! I wish we could use her for every home we buy in the future, and while we live in Fort Myers we DEFINITELY will! (Not that we intend on moving anytime soon) Highly, highly recommend Lori. ❤️

Meeting Lori was our lucky day. She took a lot of time and communicated with us, many important aspects of making a purchase, suggesting we wait until our CA home was Sold before searching in earnest. She was right, and it took a lot of pressure off of us, allowing us to finish the sale before searching for a home in Fort Myers. Once we sold and moved, she had already previewed many places for us, so knew what was going to match our wants/needs. The purchase went perfect, bought below listing price in a high demand neighborhood. When it came time to sell, she met with us often while preparing the home to sell, talked thru the selling prices and how we support the price. We even met with other Agents, in order to get a variety of opinions and see what their opinions were of pricing. Lori was always our first choice, and meeting others, just confirmed what we already knew. She went above and beyond to be at every showing, plus suggested we list at bit over what we thought we might get. It worked, we got the price others told us was not possible. If you want superior knowledge along with commitment, she's your Agent. We would not hesitate to recommend her for either Buying or Selling. We only wish we could take her to our new city.

It was a great pleasure assisting these Buyers and eventually they were also Sellers. They took my advise seriously and referred to my experience in both transactions. These transactions can sometimes be a "roller coaster", but hopefully I kept the worry to a minimum, with confident communications and explanations. Now they are great friends, on to other adventures.

Our condo sold in less than a week and the closing went very smoothly. Selling a house is difficult and stressful - no matter where you live. But when you are geographically located 1000 miles from the home you are selling, the smallest of problems can feel monumental. Lori kept us centered, informed, and feeling like we had a more then capable person representing our condo and our best interests. We highly recommend her.
Description of Work: We live in MA and contacted Lori (based solely on Angie's List reviews) to sell our condo in Fort Myers. An elderly relative had been living there, alone, and had recently died. The unit was in tough shape. Lori immediately took a look at the unit and let us know exactly what she felt could be done. Do nothing; sell for about $90,000. Put $5,000 plus into fixing it up; sell for $130,000. That is exactly what we did (we spent $8,000 on repairs, paint and carpeting) and sold for over $130,000. She was spot on. Lori is probably the most knowledgeable person in real estate I have ever met. She tells you exactly what is real and not just what you want to hear. My husband and I were so impressed with Lori, even though it was mostly a long distance relationship (us in MA while Lori marketed the condo in Fort Myers. We never had to wait for Lori to get back to us with any information we requested.

As anyone can tell by the grades above that Lori earned, we feel everything went VERY well. If we ever find ourselves looking to get back in the Fort Myers real estate market again, our first call would be to Lori.
Description of Work: My wife and I have had the good fortune to work with Lori when we were looking to buy and when we decided to sell. We were both very impressed with Lori on both occasions. Lori met or exceeded our expectations in all the categories we could think of. Both our transactions with Lori had to be done via long distance which can add complications on top of an already difficult and anxiety filled process. Somehow Lori managed to lead us through the process in a way that minimized the difficulty our anxiety even though it was done long distance.
