Six months before I began the process of selling the house I had lived in for 33 years I consulted with Lori. She advised me on the key things I need to fix or change before I went on the market. That gave me time to take down an aging patio, remove stained carpet and start cleaning up in the backyard. It was especially helpful when she told what I didn't have to fix. When I found a house I wanted to more into it became a race against time to get escrow concluded in time to secure this house. Lori was skillful in dealing with the buyer's realtor and the buyer's buyer's realtor, three houses had to sell. She maintained cordial relations with everyone and we made our deadline on December 31st. The market was dropping at the time we put our house on the MLS list. To took weeks to sell it. I was ready to just take the low ball price, but she held steady and kept me steady. She believed in the value of the house and we got very close to what we had asked. I consider myself luck to have had Lori as my realtor.

I am recommending Lori Bright and Steve Ristaino to all my friends who might need to downsize and move out of their family homes. They both know so much, and so many people. Whenever I had a problem or question, either they knew the solution immediately, or took it upon themselves to find the answer for me. When I sprained my foot one night and panicked, I called Lori because I couldn't think straight enough to call a friend. She held my hand through figuring out what to do, and Steve and his guy came over the next day to do dishes and generally settle my household for me. Seriously. From the moment I chose them as my realtors, they laid out the calendar I would need to follow, and helped me make it to each new phase. Perhaps I could have done this without them, but I wouldn't want to have tried.

Working with Lori and Steve was the high point of selling my home of 30 years. They made the unknown process as easy and painless as possible for me. From the first day they came to speak to me through every step until the final closing and exchange of keys they represented me professionally as well as personally . . . always keeping my needs and concerns at the forefront of the negotiations. They were always available to answer questions, address my concerns and “lift me up” when I was feeling overwhelmed. They explained every document and every step of the process fully and what to expect as things moved forward. They understood the market in the area where I lived and instinctively knew what to say and do to represent my home to achieve the highest sale price possible. They were kind and supportive and I am so grateful that I was introduced to them and hired them to represent me. I couldn’t have found anyone better.
