We could not have asked for a better agent to work with than Lori! She was attentive, thorough, proactive, hard working, and a great communicator through our entire process. What could have been a challenging and complicated situation was SO incredibly smooth thanks to Lori!!!! A true professional!
My husband and I reside in Florida and were looking for a retirement home in Washington state. Lori Montone had a listing in Port Ludlow that we wanted to buy. We had our realtor connect with her to make an offer. She gave us a virtual tour of the home and afterwards, suggested that we fly up to see it before making a decision. We flew up, toured the home, and saw many others that were for sale in the surrounding area. Lori was the consummate professional; never pushy, an excellent listener, and willing to go the extra mile to show us homes in other regions of the state during our short visit. We flew back to Florida without purchasing a home. Despite that, we continued to engage Lori via email, virtual tours, and phone calls. She was quick to respond to our questions and willing to go the extra mile to help us find our retirement home. She had numerous business contacts that she openly shared with us to facilitate the buying transaction. We finally settled on the home we originally inquired about and Lori did a stellar job negotiating the deal for us and we were very satisfied with the outcome. She’s the best realtor we have ever had the pleasure of working with and we’ve worked with many over the years. She’s truly one of a kind; she’s passionate about her profession and cares about making her client’s dreams a reality!
Lori Montone was so knowledgeable in all aspects of selling our home. She guided my husband and I through all the difficult problems, both personal and selling of our home. She was a knowledgeable and fun person and quickly became a good friend.
I can’t express how excellent Lori was. She was on top of every detail of my sale. She happily answered any question I had and there were many. She always had a smile and I highly recommend her!!!
You know you have a great Realtor when your neighbors call you to compliment her. Yes - this actually happened when Lori ran our open house. They were impressed with the way Lori knowledgeably represented the home and neighborhood. With such a hot market, we (very) briefly considered selling by owner. I am so glad we didn’t. Lori provided “cradle to grave” service — all using her deep knowledge of the area. Based on the targeted buyer we expected, she provided guidance to prepare the house: not just things we SHOULD do, but things that were not worth doing. She then coordinated an all-out marketing campaign, including professional photos, 3-D tours, and reaching out to her vast network of agents. Once the listing was live, she followed up on all the showings. Throughout the process, she kept us fully updated. We accepted an offer within five days, but Lori‘s work was nowhere near done. She coordinated inspections, handled all communications with the buyers/agent, as well as the million details needed to close the sale, without a hitch. We trusted the sale of our home to Lori and would do it again (and again and again!).
Lori Montone was my choice as realtor from our initial meeting. She came with the skill set and can do attitude I anticipated. Lori worked throughout the process with my daughters and myself with her knowledge, timely information, and patience. She kept to a time line that allowed the unexpected to occur and yet proceed to success. Thank you Lori. You are the best.
Lori is a wonderful Agent. Her enthusiasm, guidance and positive attitude about listing our home during the Holiday, Covid and snow days put us at ease in her more than capable hands. She went above and beyond to help us sell our home. We moved out of State and Lori took care of our empty home via staging, open houses, and keeping that watchful eye on the place. We couldn’t be more grateful of Lori. Thank you Lori!!
If I could give Lori six stars I would! Lori is incredibly personable, responsive and goes above and beyond to make sure your home selling experience goes smoothly. Her attention to detail, communication and follow through was so appreciated as I was moving from WA to AZ and needed some help tying up the loose ends particularly towards the end of my sale, as I had already made the move to AZ. Seriously so impressed with her customer service…she really cares about her client’s experience and does what she can to exceed your expectations. Thank you, Lori! You’re an amazing human and realtor.
Lori Montone is the realtor for you no matter what your needs are or how much your budget is. She listened instead of talked, she responded instead of reacting, she made what I thought was impossible possible but more than anything she was/is a friend instead of just another realtor. I had several obstacles to me acquiring the home that I desired but just like an old Marine or crazed attack dog Lori methodically went about tearing down boundaries and removing hurdles that most realtors would have either walked away from or tried to move me on to an easier transaction. In short, I’m writing this as I sit in my new home sipping wine and watching football!! What a blessing this home is and what a blessing Lori is!!!! She gets 101% out of 100%
Lori lives in Port Ludlow and has her finger on the pulse of the market. She knew the right time for us to put our condo on the market, set the right price and helped us to get it staged and ready to achieve our goals. In addition to being an amazing real estate agent, she is a genuine good human being and we felt supported and represented every step of the way.
I worked with Lori to sell my parent's home in Port Ludlow this year. Her level of professionalism, dedication, perseverance, follow-through and can-do spirit are unsurpassed in my experience. I worked in mortgage lending for 17 years and have worked closely with many realtors over the years, but Lori really wowed me with how she handled my parent's transaction. No detail was too big or small for her to handle and without her support, the transaction would probably have fallen apart. Moreover, she helped immensely with my parent's transition out of their home in a dignified manner. I cannot praise Lori highly enough and deeply appreciate her abilities and positive attitude. Not only did she get my parent's the highest price in the market, she handled the details like a consummate professional. I wholeheartedly recommend Lori without reservation. Give Lori a call and talk with her, you will not be disappointed.
Lori was a true guide, expert and positive-thinking realtor during a crazy summer of home buying. Lori fielded each contact from us with grace, patience and answered our questions (and there were many) with her expertise and knowledge. Lori helped us find a house that works for us even with all the ups and downs of this crazy market! We would recommend Lori for anyone selling or buying a home.
