Strange Home Real Estate I Love Helping People! For all your Real Estate Needs call Lorie Strange! Their journey into real estate wasn’t just a career move—it was a calling.

Lorie Strange isn’t just a Realtor—she’s a trusted expert who makes the home buying and selling process seamless, stress-free, and even enjoyable. With over 20 years of experience in Central Ohio real estate, Lorie has built a reputation for being knowledgeable, strategic, and deeply invested in her clients' success. Before real estate, Lorie was a stay-at-home mom to her three children while her

late husband, Mike Strange, owned a tech consulting firm. After participating in a men’s group study of The Purpose Driven Life by Rick Warren, they felt led to find a profession they could pursue together. They prayed for a year, even leading their own small group study of the book, before deciding on real estate. Mike wrapped up his consulting work and immediately began real estate classes, launching their new venture in 2003. Lorie worked alongside him in those early years and obtained her own license in January 2006. For nearly two decades, Lorie and Mike navigated the highs and lows of the housing market, including the 2008 crash, all while raising three children and trusting God to provide. Together, they sold over 650 homes, building a business based on integrity, trust, and exceptional client service. Today, Lorie carries on the legacy of the Strange Home Team as a solo agent, maintaining the same hardworking, client-focused, and compassionate approach that has earned her a 5-star rating on Google. She listens intently to her clients' needs and tailors her expertise to meet them. When you choose Lorie, you work directly with an expert—benefiting from her two decades of experience and unwavering commitment. Ranked among the Top 500 out of 10,000 Realtors in the Columbus MLS and in the Top 10% of her office, Lorie is a consistently high-performing professional. But for her, success isn’t just about numbers—it’s about relationships. With 75%–90% of her business coming from referrals, repeat clients, and the community she’s been a part of since 1986, Lorie has built her reputation on honesty, trustworthiness, and a deep understanding of her clients' needs. Whether buying or selling, clients describe her as attentive, responsive, and patient—always exceeding expectations with her enthusiastic, calming, and professional presence. "I love helping people." That’s not just a tagline—it’s the foundation of everything Lorie does.

A lot of people are hoping for the same thing. Lower mortgage rates. Lower home prices.

The problem? Forecasts show that’s probably not what’s in the cards. At least, not right now.

Mortgage rates aren’t expected to fall dramatically. And at the same time, home prices should keep rising at about the same pace they have been.

Now, that’s not what you wanted to hear, but it doesn’t mean you’re out of options.

Sometimes the best move isn't waiting for the market to change. It's exploring what's still possible right now.

Other people are still making it happen even with rates and prices where they are. Maybe you can too.

Let's talk if you want help thinking it over.

Buying a home starts long before you begin touring properties. One of the smartest things you can do is understand your financial position before you start your search.

Here are a few ways to prepare:

💰 Review your income, savings, monthly expenses, and existing debts to determine a comfortable budget.

📊 Check your credit profile so you have a clear understanding of what may affect your financing options.

🏦 Get pre-approved for a mortgage. A pre-approval gives you a realistic price range, helps you shop with confidence, and shows sellers you're a serious, qualified buyer.

Taking these steps early can help you avoid surprises, make stronger offers, and move quickly when the right home comes along.

Your offer was accepted—now what? 🏡✨

Once you’re officially in contract, your next steps will typically include:

• Wire your initial deposit to escrow
• Stay responsive to your lender and provide any requested documents
• Avoid opening new credit cards, financing large purchases, or changing jobs
• Review and sign escrow and loan documents as they’re sent
• Secure homeowners insurance
• Prepare the remaining funds needed for closing
• Attend the final walkthrough
• Sign your final closing documents

The process can move quickly, so staying organized and responsive is key to keeping everything on track.

One of the biggest seller myths floating around right now is that buyers have disappeared.
The headlines certainly make it feel that way.

But here's what the data actually says.

More homes are going under contract right now than they were at this point the last two years.

And here's how that's possible. Life doesn't wait for perfect mortgage rates. People still get married. Families grow. Jobs change.

At some point, waiting becomes harder than moving. So serious buyers still take the plunge.

So, if you've been wondering whether there are still buyers out there...

There are.

The key is knowing how to position your house to stand out in today's market. Send me a message if you want some advice on what it would take to get your house sold right now.
