She choose real estate as a career in 2007, because it is a career where she can help people reach their real estate goals. It is very much like project management with lots of moving parts, which she loves to manage. And just one way we do that is focusing on finding a win-win and problem solving. Each customer has unique goals and timelines. Getting to know what is important to you and giving you the market information to help guide you to make the best decisions for you and your family. That is what it is all about. Lori grew up in NW Washington half in the city and half on the family farm that was homesteaded in 1900. During the week she would be in the city doing music lessons, ballet, school and other activities and on the weekend, she would be at the farm helping the family tend to 120 acres of farmland, including a herd of cattle and a great big garden. The city life established a training ground for understanding how neighborhoods function, and an education in the arts that lead to a liberal arts degree. The farm gave her a sense of hard work, independent thinking, figuring out how to fix things on her own and working together. In short, the farm was the lesson in how to run a business. In 2005 the business focus became real estate. Helping families and individuals get established in the community and prosper were the motivation, and enjoying helping people through the process of either selling or buying their home was a tool to do that. Since 2005 she helped hundreds of people buy or sell their homes in Anchorage, Eagle River, Palmer, Wasilla and beyond. That's over 16 years of experience and counting for past, present and future clients to rely on. Her favorite hobbies include Anchorage Concert Chorus, skiing on the trails, walking or biking the neighborhood, or dancing with friends and listening to live music. One of her favorite pass times in the summer is fishing, fishing, fishing. She currently volunteers for housing on Base at JBER.
