Lori Raath is an outstanding realtor. She has handled the sale of a house and the purchase of another house for us within a 3 year period. She is always cheerful, helpful, knowledgeable and available. She goes the extra mile in making sure the customer is satisfied and she is fun to work with. I would not ever use anyone else if buying or selling a house in Polk County.
If you are considering buying or selling a home look no further than Lori Raath. Working with Lori was a breath of fresh air. She was super knowledgeable and worked magic when we had questions and needed assistance when buying from another state. Nothing short of an incredible experience!
Lori Raath is truly the ONLY realtor I would recommend in the Winter Haven/Lake Wales area. She was by far the most responsive, trustworthy, reliable realtor I have ever worked with (and this is my 5th house). She was very easy to work with and truly had my best interest in mind. I was ready to make an offer on a home for which she was the listing agent (which would give her both buyer and seller commission), but she felt strongly that I should look at all the homes on our list. From that, we found a different house that worked MUCH better, and she was not the listing agent. She had genuine integrity and cared about us finding the right home, not how much commission she would make. If I could give 10 stars, I would. If you are searching for a realtor and Lori serves your area - she is the one to work with. Oh, and my parents are moving here in the spring, and we are hiring her to work with them as well. She is "parent-approved" !
We recently purchased our sixth home. The property is in Lake Ashton and we had the pleasure of working with Lori Raath. From beginning to end, the process could not have been easier. We live in New York and made our offer from here. Lori helped us navigate the entire purchase seamlessly across many miles. We were able to close in four weeks. I would recommend her to anyone looking to buy/sell. Her knowledge is vast and her readiness to answer any and all questions was appreciated.
Very professional, very personable having great insight.
Selling our house was quick and easy with Lori’s knowledge and she was available to answer questions and keep us informed with what was happening every step of the way. She always answered the phone, texts, emails and was flexible to meet with you in person anytime of the day! Knowledgeable and helpful with Docusign which was great for us. She has great advice for staging the home for pictures and is very professional. We recommend her a thousand times over!!
Lori is not only an outstanding realtor but an amazing person. She works with you on every detail! I have never had such a wonderful person to work with. She goes way beyond the call of duty I am proud to call her my friend now! They don’t come any better than Lori!
Lori was great to work with to find our home in Lake Ashton. She was very patient (we looked at A LOT of homes!) and was always prompt and professional, along with being friendly and very personable. We live in PA and dealing with her long distance was easy. She responded to texts, emails and phone calls quickly to set up appointments when we would be in Florida. Lori was attentive to things we liked and disliked so she was able to guide us to homes that fit our needs. We would highly recommend anyone to work with Lori to find your home!
Lori was awesome from our first telephone conversation through closing and getting adjusted to our new home. We were out of state and before we got here she kept in constant contact through text, calls and emails making sure we were getting the information we were looking for to begin our new home search. She also found us a rental home in the neighborhood for as much time as we needed to find and move in a new home. The day after our arrival she had 11 homes scheduled for us to see, which may seemlike a lot to some but it was exactly what we needed and wanted. In 3 days she found us the perfect house that fit our wants and needs. We also wanted a fast inspection and closing, and she was on it. We were in our new home in less than 25 days from arrival into Florida. If we ever decide to move again we sure hope it is to an area where she can assist us because we don’t think another realtor could meet her standards of excellence and customer service. Highly recommend Lori.
I would highly recommend Lori Raath. We ran into some issues that she went above and beyond what was required to solve. We closed in 2 weeks, which exceeded our expectations.
My experience working with Lori Raath was excellent! I highly recommend her for several reasons. First, she was extremely knowledgeable about the market, the properties in the surrounding community, as well as what I needed to do to prepare for the sale. Second, she was a phenomenal communicator. I really appreciated how easily accessible she was, as well as how detail oriented she was and clear about all the particulars that needed to be navigated through. Third, she was a consummate professional. This process can be overwhelming and I knew I could always count on Lori to answer all of my questions thoughtfully. At times I felt that my questions were silly, as I was unfamiliar with this process. But, Lori always acknowledged my questions with the utmost respect and provided thorough feedback. Lori made this entire journey a positive and productive one. I am grateful to have had her as my real estate agent. Thank you.
It was a pleasure to work with Lori. She was very knowledgeable about the multiple avenues that I needed to travel down to make this come to fruition!! I would recommend her to anyone looking to purchase a home in the vicinity. Thank you, Diana Meister
