Testimonials
"The best testimonials begin with a story. My husband and I first put our Fairfield home on the
market right after Memorial Day, 2021. Although the market was hot our broker did not seem to
have the time, skill or attentiveness to sell our home. With the few showings we had, the broker
provided little to no feedback. We retained a new broker and our unfortunate experience repeated
itself. While exploring real estate down south, we unexpectedly - and fortuitously - ran into
another couple from Fairfield County, CT. They had recently moved south and were over the
moon about their CT Realtor, Lori Elkins-Ferber. When they heard our tale of real estate woe,
they all but put us on the phone with Lori, then and there! When we told Lori of the difficulties
we had been facing (and the wonderful endorsement her clients had given her) she went right
into problem solving mode. She did so with professionalism, empathy, pragmatism, and
warmth. When we met with Lori, she laid out a clear plan for us to follow and assured us that she
could sell our home. She immediately connected us with amazing resources who, with some
minor tweaks, completely transformed the look of our home. For the first time since putting our
house on the market we felt calm and hopeful, knowing that we were in the hands of a true and
caring professional. I should add that by Fairfield County standards, and compared with the
homes Lori frequently sells, our residence is modest. Despite this Lori treated us as if she were
selling our 10-million-dollar estate!In short, after our home had languished on the market for 3
months with other brokers, Lori Elkins-Ferber got us multiple offers inside of 2 weeks! Virtually
overnight we went from feeling hopeless, to seeing our dream of relocation become a reality.
Lori is so much more than a realtor. When you work with her, she becomes your problem-solver,
advocate and most importantly, your friend. She has truly been a blessing in our lives, and we
give her our highest endorsement"
M and S "Joyful Sellers"
"We highly recommend Lori as your next realtor. She is adept and committed at helping and
guiding her clients through every phase of a real estate journey. In the early stages, we benefited
from her market knowledge coupled with her patience and ability to listen to and understand our
requirements, which we often didn't even understand ourselves or agree upon that well. This
made her extremely helpful to us in working through the many options and visits and eventually
honing down our decision criteria until we found a house that was perfect for us both. Then,
during the negotiations and subsequent activity after the binder and contract, she
was meticulous and thorough, and always helped keep us on track with careful attention to
detail and polite yet firm management of all parties involved. In all situations, she professionally
advocated and influenced in our best interests. Finally, she is a delightful person to know and
work with and we recommend her without hesitation. Thanks Lori for everything you did for us."
Mike and Deb
"The process of selling a much-loved Family Home isn?t always a simple one. We engaged Ms.
Elkins over SIX years ago to discuss the eventual sale of our home. Since that time, Ms. Elkins
Ferber has provided tremendous, timely and updated market and property-specific information
and support to us. Once we decided to actually list the property, Ms. Elkins Ferber was a
constant and valuable resource and worked tirelessly to provide practical and sound advice in
preparing our home to better appeal to and receive potential Buyers. Over the course of the
weeks the house was listed for sale, Lori used her considerable skills to reach out to a widely
dispersed pool of likely and UNLIKELY Buyers. She became a tireless and integral part of the
entire process, including not only The Showings, but for many after hours and weekend phone
calls, strategy sessions, discussions and meetings. Importantly, Lori knew that identifying the
right Buyer was only the first step, the work that follows is: EVERYTHING, and it was during
this critical stage that Lori was not surprisingly outstanding. Simply put, Lori Elkins Ferber
just, ?got things done? the right way? and she did it with grace, patience, preparation and very
effective and timely hard work. I highly recommend her as a Realtor to anyone Buying or
Selling a home: she will work tirelessly, provide outstanding advice, resources, support,
communication and RESULTS. Ultimately, She will make a somewhat complex and involved
experience far less complicated, far more satisfying and successful."
"Lori Elkins Ferber was an indispensable, trusted partner and advocate in our very challenging
home buying journey. Thanks to her skilled guidance, creative thinking, persistence and, perhaps
most of all, patience, we found a home we love in a great town at what we believe is a fair price.
No search is easy but not only did we have very specific needs and strong aesthetic preferences,
our search was virtual as we were navigating this very difficult market while based in the
Midwest. Lori?s even-handedness and dedication to our needs and the process never flagged,
which is more than we can say for our own! We always felt she was acting in our best interests.
She never pressured us, was very candid in her assessments ? even when they might have
conflicted with our beliefs or preconceptions ? she was extremely accessible and responded to
our requests and inquiries very quickly. When she didn?t have answers, she tracked them
down.Beyond that, she was a delight to deal with on a personal level and we enjoyed time spent
in her company. We couldn?t recommend her more strongly."
Doug and Asma
"In one of the most highly competitive real estate markets in the country?Lori Elkins Ferber
stands TALL above them all! She was able to operate quickly, in a moving market?with spot
on accuracy to find the value of our your home. But more importantly, she was able to personally
transform our home into a tranquil oasis which was highlighted by her talented photographer.
With blow your socks off pictures of our home topped off by welcoming words to market our
home?it is no wonder she sold our home in 1 weekend! Calling Lori to sell our home was the
best decision we ever did!!! Thank you again!"
Madonna and Brian
"Lori Ferber is truly an exceptional agent. After 25 years of living in the same city, a job transfer
is bringing us to Connecticut and having Lori to help us navigate this giant transition has been
nothing short of AMAZING. From having never been in the state, she made the very daunting
task of moving our entire family a breeze and dare I say fun. She spent many hours during the
holiday season showing our entire family around. We all felt like we were on a guided tour. She
took the time to not only show us homes, but really show us the entire area. She gave us expert
tips that only a local would know. She helped us navigate one of the most competitive markets in
the US including a WINNING bidding strategy to secure our dream home. Having never been
through a bidding war, we couldn?t have done it without her expert guidance. She is a detailed
real estate professional and gets to know her clients at a personal level. By doing this, she
meticulously hand selects homes based on your individual preferences. Whether you are buying
or selling, a first time or experienced buyer, she knows how to get the job done. As experienced
buyers relocating to CT, she even did a FaceTime home tour for us which, ironically, is how we
found our dream home. Lori is a real estate rock star and we feel fortunate to have been able to
work with her."
"Lori is by far the best realtor we have ever worked with in selling or buying a house. We liked
that Lori personally handled every step to of the selling process for us (vs. all the other realtors
we considered were organized in teams and you didn?t always work with the main person) . Lori
is dedicated, prompt, knowledgeable, diligent, and persistent. She understood why we loved our
home and was able to perfectly capture that sentiment in the marketing material. She had great
ideas on how to stage, market, and transform the home into a property which received multiple
offers during the first weekend. Lori is a skilled negotiator and we were able to get the price we
wanted for the house. In addition to being our trusted realtor, Lori became a friend through the
process. She has our highest recommendation for anyone looking to buy or sell a house."
Karen & Michael Schwartz
"Lori has exceeded our expectations at every turn. Nothing falls through the cracks with her.
She seems to specialize in going the extra mile. However many stars a rating system allows
she's the max and more. There should be one more ⭐ set aside for Lori."
Peter and Samantha
"Working with Lori has been an absolute pleasure. From our first meeting to the completion of
the sale she was there every step of the way. Not one detail escaped her, every question was
answered, and promptly. She is discreet, fair, knowledgeable, persistent and was available at all
times. Lori made a stressful process comfortable, and I always felt I had an advocate who was
totally committed to my interests."
Barbara Bluestone
"We moved a lot internationally over the past 30 years and used a lot of real estate agents. Lori
Ferber definitely stands out in many ways. She never gave me the feeling that I was too
demanding when rejecting many houses - on the contrary, she always stayed positive reassuring
us that we would find the perfect house (which we did thanks to her). She is very professional in
regards to always answering very quickly and competently to all our questions. When she was
not sure about some detail, she always made sure to inform herself and came back to us
immediately. She thoroughly followed up on all steps of the house purchase.Another aspect that
we liked about working with her was that she made us feel real comfortable so it was almost like
looking for houses with a friend and not an agent. We can highly recommend her and will sure
contact her again if needed."
Christian and Sabine (Thailand)
"I can't say enough about my experience with Lori Elkins-Ferber who made selling our house a
smooth and pleasant experience. She knew exactly what to do at every step of the process and
gave me excellent guidance along the way. Lori was extremely helpful and responsive. I could
not have been happier working with her! She remained confident when I encountered challenges,
helped me get organized for the open houses and always kept me on target. My house was sold
quickly with her help. I would highly recommend Lori to anyone selling or buying a house. She
is the ultimate professional!"
Ellen
"Lori Ferber is a truly superior real estate agent and we say that having bought and sold a half
dozen houses and co-op apartments in New York and Texas, and now Connecticut, over four
decades. She is highly professional, meticulous, persistent and extremely knowledgeable about
her market and all of the many towns in Connecticut. She is personable, flexible and very easy
to work with. What stood out the most about Lori was the extent to which she came to
understand our specific context, preferences and objectives and due to that her targeted
recommendations were wonderful. She also was able to recommend towns and locations
regarding what moving and living there would actually be like from a point of personal
knowledge much deeper than any brochure or internet education. We would recommend Lori
unreservedly to anyone, new buyer or experienced buyer. The more experienced the buyer you
are, the more you will recognize and appreciate the quality of her advice."
Bruce and Eleanor Thompson
"I have nothing but good things to say about Lori Elkins Ferber. We were selling an unusual
house, which created more questions in terms of pricing and marketing strategies than a typical
sale. Lori rose to the challenge every step of the way. She helped us to set a realistic price, and
she gave us terrific advice about staging and minor touch-ups we could do to maximize the wow factor of our already special home. The eventual buyer for our house ended up being one of
Lori?s other clients, which put her in the potentially awkward position of representing both of us
during the negotiating process. She handled this dual agency situation with impeccable ethics,
and never left us with any doubt that she was looking out for our best interests. I would highly
recommend Lori to anyone thinking of selling a home in Weston."
Meagan and Steve
"Lori is an amazing Realtor and we don?t believe we would be closing on a house in June 2023
without her assistance. The housing market was incredibly difficult for prospective buyers due to
the very low supply of good houses, especially in popular markets like Fairfield County. Lori
was very patient throughout the process and used her knowledge and experience to guide us
through it. She managed our expectations very well but also fought for us on multiple occasions.
She has a very balanced approach when dealing with her clients - not very aggressive but also
very candid about what is necessary to close on a house. Ultimately, the decision on how much
to put in as a bid was left to us but she left no doubt in our minds about what the market would
require. It is obvious that she is very highly regarded by other Realtors as she was able to
leverage her relationships to give us the best possible chance with each of our bids. Even when
we were not successful with some of our initial bids, she remained very positive and made sure
we felt we would get a house we really wanted for a price that made sense for us. We finally did
? in North Stamford. Even after our bid was accepted, she made sure we felt a sense of urgency
to set up the inspections, work with our lender bank, and talk to our attorney. Nothing was left to
chance. We loved the very professional attitude she brought to every conversation but also that
she is very down to earth and truly concerned about us at a very personal level. We could not
have asked for a better Realtor and we know we will keep in touch with her even after our
professional relationship slowly comes to an end. Thank you Lori."
Manu & Seneha
"When we decided to sell our home, we were extremely fortunate to have had the
opportunity to work with Lori. She had a clear vision on how to market our
home, created a listing that far exceeded our expectations and generated as well
as nurtured quality leads. Our home sold quickly after re-listing with Lori. Her
professionalism, attention to detail, kindness and support working with first-time
home sellers was incredible. We cannot recommend Lori enough."
Mike and Lisa
"I have known Lori for many years through mutual friends; however, until now, have never had
the pleasure of working with her as my real estate agent. Lori is responsive, understanding, and
very knowledgeable of the market. I contacted Lori on a Saturday afternoon letting her know I
was in need of a buyer?s agent. The very next morning, she had me at a showing of the the house
I was interested in. Lori was very conscious of my budget and was adept at selecting houses for
viewing that both suited my personal needs and financial considerations. Lori helped advise me
on the best strategy for making an offer that she believed would make me competive, while being
mindful of my finances. As I was purchasing a historic home, there were a few issues for which
Lori was vital in helping me navigate. Ultimately, after Lori?s skillful negotiation, the buyers
accepted an offer below asking, despite the fact that they had received multiple offers from other
buyers. Lori was a super dedicated agent and advocate. If lori dedicates as much of her time as
she does to her many clients as she did for me, I have no idea how she does anything else. Lori
was able to take me from looking for a new house to closing on the house of my dreams in less
than a month and a half. She is truly loves what she does and it shows."
April Rademacher
"Lori Elkins Ferber is an exceptional real estate professional - extremely knowledgeable,
thorough, and diligent.We had a challenging situation as we are three adult children, living far
away, of nonagenarian parents, responsible for the sale of their home of 50+ years.Lori quickly
earned our complete trust with her market expertise, sound judgment, steady hand, and
outstanding work ethic. Following her sage advice and expert guidance, our parents? home sold
the weekend it was listed, with multiple above-asking price offers. She went above and beyond,
from beginning to end, to ensure the sale process was efficient, easy, and stress free for our
elderly parents.We give Lori Elkins-Ferber our highest recommendation to all who want to sell
their homes with a strong industry leader and very pleasant person."
Our broker, Lori Ferber came through for us once again! Unlike the purchase of our home with
Lori, and other real estate projects we have explored with her, this one was different; buying
vacant land and from a not-for-profit, no less. Lori, as usual, expertly guided us every step of the
way and kept all the principles in the deal calm and focused, and successfully brought the deal to
fruition! We know when it comes to real-estate Lori Ferber is our trusted, knowledgeable and
"Family" broker. Thank you Lori!
!Drs. Amber Brody and Jeff Gardere
"We recently had our first real estate transaction with Lori. We felt that she was easy to
communicate with, she was very knowledgeable of the real estate market, in our area as well as
being able to screen tenants for our rental. We will definitely use Lori again, in the future for our
real estate needs."
Liz and Tony P (Stamford, CT)
"I would certainly recommend Lori Ferber Elkins, she did a really fantastic job. The house was
sold nine days after our first meeting. Cannot say enough good things about her. A total
professional who listens, stays in touch, is knowledgeable, could not be happier with the
outcome"
Barbara
"Lori is a very conscientious and professional real estate agent. It has been a pleasure for myself
and my husband to work with her; especially as we started looking long distance. We have
appreciated her prompt attention to all our inquiries and her clear and precise responses. We
would confidently recommend her for anyone looking in Fairfield County for real estate."
Tom and Christia Valentino
"Lori was extremely helpful in our search for a home."
Gregory and Michelle
"Relocating from the Midwest was overwhelming. Lori is very knowledgeable about the local
community, was always available for our questions, and was very patient and supportive in
making sure we found the right home for our family."
Gina and BJ
"Dear Lori - It has been such a pleasure to work with you again. You have gone way beyond our
wildest expectations. From start to finish you have addressed everyone of our questions and
concerns and ensured that we got a perfect home for our son. As you know, this was not easy.
The first house we bid on fell through when the Seller decided to take it off the market. We
probably looked at about 30 houses, none of which met our needs. Once we did find the perfect
one, the Seller with whom we signed the binder elected to sell it to the real estate company
which caused us a great deal of confusion and angst. Through all of this you were extremely
patient and willing to show us additional houses in the event this one fell through. When we
finally did get to the contract stage, you arranged the inspection for us and recommended various
service providers who would be able to address issues that were discovered during the inspection
in a timely manner. On our closing date, you even managed to take care of a number of last
minute issues that came up, once again with a great deal of patience and professionalism. We
cannot thank you enough and would be glad to recommend your services to anyone interested in
purchasing a home in Fairfield County"
James & Cheryl
"A Realtor that cares about her clients and the client?s needs. Went out of her way when others
ignored the calls."
Gregory
"Terrific and well informed. great experience. a pleasure to work with"
Andrew
"Lovely to deal with, friendly and knowledgeable. Always on time and has good ideas"
Tracy
"Lori was extremely knowledgeable, professional, and an absolute pleasure to work with! Not
knowing the area well, she generously gave us an amazing tour and overview of the
neighborhoods we were considering. She is very responsive and personable. Thank you Lori!"
"We tasked Lori with helping us find a home in this challenging market. She took the time to
understand our needs and desires, was on top of any new listings, and promptly booked showings
for us whenever we requested them. She is highly responsive, knowledgable, welcoming, and
has a very calm presence. Whenever we viewed a home, she brought along printed information
for us and if we were interested, went the extra mile to contact the seller's realtor to glean any
information she could that would give us a leg up. We would absolutely use Lori for any future
realtor needs and can't recommend her enough."
David and Beth
"Working with Lori was such a pleasure. We are new to Connecticut and we had so many
questions. We saw so many houses until finally finding the one. Lori was knowledgeable,
friendly, and very patient, she even made brownies! Lori came highly recommended by several
of my peers and I understand why. Thanks again for everything!"
Brenda and Loree
"Lori was a pleasure to work with. She was always available, very helpful with the rental process
and kept us informed throughout. We would highly recommend Lori and appreciate her fairness
and quick turn around on the transaction."
"Lori is a very communicative, helpful agent who was readily available to guide and coordinate
all of the logistics of buying a home (especially for first time buyers!). She also had great
recommendations and referrals for the various third parties we needed throughout the process,
from inspectors to mortgage brokers. Lori is very knowledgeable of Fairfield County and the
various communities we were exploring. We appreciate her time in helping us buy our first
home!"
Jenna and Harrison
"Lori is a rock star. This is the second home I purchased with her, and I'm so glad she is my agent.
She is always available to help even on her days off. As an example she hopped on the computer
to get documents signed minutes before her daughter's birthday party. What makes Lori truly one
of a kind is her dedication, she always answers the phone or calls back immediately. When
looking at properties she is more than willing to ask questions and push just the right amount to
get important answers. She has an unrivaled ability to create relationships with agents and is
always one step ahead. I would go beyond recommending her, she is simply the best at what she
does!"
John and Akasha
"Lori was great. We started looking for our first home during the pandemic and it was difficult to
navigate between houses selling so quickly and the competition for a winning offers. She gave
excellent advise and helped us structure our offers to be as competitive as possible. She also
made herself readily available in case a house was going to get a lot of attention. We highly
recommend Lori."
Justin and Nicole Proffitt
"Working with Lori Elkins Ferber has truly been a pleasure. As an out-of-state buyer, we had no
previous relationship when we cold-called Lori on a property listing. From the beginning to the
end of the purchase process, Lori was prompt, dedicated, and professional, and went out of her
way to accommodate my somewhat unusual long-distance purchase situation. She even insisted
on coming to the house to let me see its interior ?in person? when I travelled across the country
and called after hours. I couldn?t offer a more positive recommendation!"
Mitchell S.
"Lori is a hardworking broker who advocates for her clients, and we can?t recommend her highly
enough. She was there every step of the way as we worked through some thorny title issues, and
took on tasks that went above and beyond what was required of a broker. Most of all, she is
respectful of the fact that decisions ultimately lie with the client, but raises thoughtful questions
when necessary to ensure all considerations are taken into account. We will gladly work with her
again."
Jaemin Han and Ferris Kung
"Lori was a pleasure to work with! She was flexible to our schedule, easy to communicate with,
and had our best interests in mind. Most importantly, Lori listened to our feedback and stayed
patient with us throughout the process. She responded when we needed to move quickly, but also
provided space when we needed to take a step back. We highly recommend!"
Bill & Rachel Kemp
"Lori is a very helpful person who worked hard with me and for me from the moment I met her.
She supported me through the whole process of finding and buying a house. She is
knowledgeable and experienced as well as kind and thoughtful. I would highly recommend her
to anyone and have in fact recommended her to everyone I meet who is considring buying or
selling a home in CT."
M
"Lori Elkins Ferber provided a seamless, smooth and pleasant real estate experience. I have dealt
with many different realtors and she was knowledgeable and a joy to work with, always ready to
accommodate my schedule. She help me find exactly what I was looking for. I would highly
recommend her as your real estate agent."
Bettina Covo
"Lori was simply amazing! We could not have found our beautiful home without her knowledge
of the area, her professionalism, kindness, and amazing communication skills. She comes VERY
highly recommended. I had to ask for her specifically but I would ensure others from Charter that
are relocating be offered up her name. EXCELLENT experience! Communicated in timely manner. Knowledge of local market. Followed up on commitments. Provided info on
properties within your budget."
"I used Lori for the sale of two homes in 2021. Each move came with its own set of intricacies
and emotional ties. Going into the listings for each home, I was at ease knowing Lori was going
to be by my side every step of the way. Her response time is always quick, and that goes a long
way. She flawlessly covers everything from start to finish! She is the BEST in the business!"
"Exceeding Your Expectations," they claim. Yea, right. Well. yes, right. My expectations were
pretty high, but Lori beat them. Because I had to move to Asia unexpectedly, we were forced to
sell the house while I was away. Lori worked smoothly with me to manage the job remotely, and
to make decisions which turned out to be good. She made the extra effort that a situation like
ours needed. Starting on day one, multiple offers resulted in a quick sale at a great price.
Stephen Flaum
"We had an amazing experience with Laurie Elkins-Ferber. Formerly represented by realtors from
another firm, who didn't really advocate for us or help us, Laurie was like a breath of fresh air for
us. Our home had languished on the market for 3 months prior to our hiring Laurie. Once Laurie
listed it we had multiple offers within 2 weeks! She is knowledgeable, professional and kind - a
winning combination of traits. We can't sing her praises highly enough. Professionals like Laurie
are a rare find. Thank you!"
Steve and Maud Purcell
"Our lovely realtor Lori Ferber has been nothing but great in making our first home buying
process as smooth as it could have been . She was on top of things , calling and asking
questions , always advising us in the best possible way . The entire process lasted about 45 days
and since day one she was always calling me , texting and making sure everything that we
needed to send to complete the process was done . As a first time buyer , my husband and I had
no idea what to expect . She guide us and educated us on what the next steps were going to be in
this process .We couldn?t been happier with our choice to have Lori as our realtor . She is so
responsive , smart , easy to talk to , and always available. Thank you Lori and we wish you all the
best"
Marcos , Amanda , Claire and Baby Boy
"Relocating and moving across the country has many stresses and challenges. Being able to find
the right realtor can certainly lessen your load. Fortunately, we were blessed to find Lori as our
realtor/advocate/friend. Lori called us prior to coming out to look for homes, asked many
questions and sent us several types of listings to make sure she was setting up the right agenda
for our house hunting trip. She was as delightful in person as over the phone. When we arrived at
the first house she brought us each a bag of lunch and snacks to assist us with the long day ahead.
That kind of kindness and care for us continued throughout the whole looking and buying
process. We would never have been able to find the most perfect house for us without Lori. She
is very detailed, thorough, and has excellent follow through. She takes the initiative for her
clients and is committed to looking for their best interest. Her communication skills are over the
top and she ensures that what her clients are needing are a priority. We are over the moon with
our new home. We know that our stress with the relocation to CT was lessened due to having
such an amazing and professional realtor. We will continue to refer others to Lori. She?s simply
the BEST!"
Nate, Ann, & Nathan
"Lori is my go to agent! I have now been a repeat customer with her. She is an agent who is
professional, responsible and ultra responsive. When I call or text her I get an exceptionally
quick response. She also is excellent at following through with all of the details involved in a
home transaction. She is exceptionally trustworthy and a strong advocate for me as a client.
Lastly, she is a very engaging and calming individual which is helpful during the inevitable stress
of a real estate transaction."
Shaan Bhojwani (Stratford, CT)
"Lori was an absolute dream to work with. Her approach is absolutely collaborative - she was
really a partner to us through the whole process. Ours was a relatively easy sale, but Lori still
was so sincere and responsive throughout it all. And she really listened to us and heard us on the
points that were really important to us and our family. It may not seem like that matters, but it
really does. Making a decision to move can be a very emotional one - it was for us! We loved our
house and have many happy family memories there. That's why working with someone like Lori
really made a huge difference to us. All that said, selling a house is one of the most important
financial decisions you can make and, as important as your agent's 'soft skills' are, you also need
someone who you know will advocate hard for you when you're not around (because that's the
game of real estate.) And Lori is absolutely that person. We had confidence in her negotiating
skills and, equally important, in her networking skills with other agents. We were never left with
questions, we felt heard and represented. All of these elements led to a very smooth, no-drama
process the whole way through. We can't recommend Lori highly enough. She represented us
well and - also important to us - we know our old home is in excellent hands with a family that
will no doubt make wonderful new memories there. And while we are sad to leave our lovely
house, knowing there is a lovely new family there that appreciates it makes it a lot easier. Lori
made that happen for us."
Laura and Fred
"Lori helped us find the perfect home! We were a bit picky, with very specific 'wants', and she
really understood what we were looking for. She listened to us and was more than
accommodating with our busy schedules. We couldn't have done this without her. She walked us
through every step of the process and made sure we understood everything and made us feel
comfortable with making this large purchase. We wholeheartedly recommend Lori for anyone's
realty needs."
"When we decided to put our home of twenty years on the market, we never thought twice about
which broker to choose. With her quiet confidence and extensive market expertise, Lori Ferber
did not disappoint. She was patient and kind and responsive to our issues day and night, which
definitely helped to make the entire process seamless. As we could not have hoped for a better
result, we know we made the right choice with Lori. In fact, anyone looking for a true
professional would be hard pressed to find a more superior real estate agent."
Caroline & Allan Grauberd
"Lori Ferber is an excellent real estate agent. She knows what to say and she knows when and
how to say it. She protected my interests during multiple real estate transactions this year, and
there was never a doubt that I had made the right choice in selecting her as my broker! Her
service is without a doubt, well above and beyond her competition."
Matthew McGlynn
"I can't say enough good things about the two experiences I've had with Lori Elkins Ferber.
Fifteen years ago, when I was going through uncertain times, my home purchase was a 9 month
long process which made it tricky but Lori made sure everything kept moving forward and that
nothing got in the way of making it happen. Fifteen years later, I just sold that home and again
Lori made sure the bumps along the way were quickly addressed and she kept things moving
forward. Selling and buying a home can be a very anxious time, but Lori has the amazing ability
to give support when needed in the just the right way! She's amazing!"
Karen Lindwall
"Lori, I can?t thank you enough for everything. You are incredibly talented at what you do. You
have been so attentive, not missing a beat with anything and you were also my cheerleader along
the way when I was feeling anxious. It has been a true pleasure going through the process of
selling my home with you. Thank you!!!!"
Karen
"When we decided to sell our house in this CRAZY market we wanted an agent who could
CONTROL the chaos while still getting us the best price, terms and overall experience. We could
not have been happier with our decision to use Lori Elkins Ferber as our Listing Agent. We had
already had a positive history with Lori when we happily won a bidding war virtually in 2013
from our then home in California. We had to rely on Lori implicitly and she always came
through. Over the 8 years that we have know her she has always stayed in touch, remained a
resource, and a warm presence in our lives. Our favorite thing about Lori is perhaps how she is a
rare combination of a caring presence with a strong skill set (in marketing, negotiation, and
ability to manage details). Every year she would show us that personal touch during the holidays
when she hand delivered a homemade baked pumpkin bread and her business acumen when she
would answer our inevitable questions on the real estate market. This MARKET is VERY
DIFFERENT than what we had been used to in the past years. An absolute SELLER?S
MARKET. We did not want to get caught up in the hysteria so we reached out to Lori and she
helped us to developed a plan that would allow us to get a positive outcome without all of the
frenzy. She was thoughtful with pricing and strategy and in the end we did have multiple offers
without the pandemonium and sold our house at a price that far exceeded our expectations. The
entire transaction went incredibly smoothly and to that we give much credit to Lori Elkins
Ferber."
Christie Stewart
"My agent was Lori Elkins Ferber. She was the best agent I have ever worked with,
knowledgeable, conscientious, and patient. My husband and I were difficult clients because we
had peculiar requirements for a house and were not always consistent. I never felt she was
anything other than eager to help us find what we wanted. She both recommended appropriate
listings and understood what we were looking for. I never felt that she was either pressuring us or
was tired of our extended and laborious search. And in this highly competitive sellers' market,
she was able to strategize us to the winning bid over more than 20 competitors. A more than
satisfied buyer."
"Now that our real estate closing is behind us and as we prepare to move into our new, and very
old, home we wanted to take a moment to thank you. And while it may sound cliche we truly
could not have done it without you.As you know we started our search pre-COVID by visiting
open houses. We looked and looked - we saw a lot of houses. We may have eventually found a
house that way in those times but it sure didn?t work for us during the pandemic panic. We
didn?t realize how lucky we were when you phoned us to follow up on an open house that we
attended and you hosted.You were endlessly generous with your time and knowledge. As we
went through the ups and downs of our home search facing multiple offer situations you were
right there with us in every sense. I?ve lost track of the number of houses that we saw and the
number of road trips we took together - you were very patient. At times the process was
frustrating but mostly a lot of fun also. We know that you shared all of our goals and aspirations
and suffered disappointments along with us.You knew exactly what we were looking for and you
found it for us - the right location, the right price, the right environment. And even after we went
into contract you went into high gear managing lawn equipment and even animal care - to
borrow another cliche you really went above and beyond. You referred us to contractors that are
currently helping us and as promised are very good. You have been amazingly in our court and
have provided tremendous support. We didn?t realize how lucky we were.We appreciate what
you were able to do for us and the time we spent with you. We mostly appreciate your
friendship."
Scott Gordon
"I hired Lori to be my agent on a house in Westport and it couldn?t have worked out any better! It
was a very challenging property with plenty of issues that created numerous difficulties along the
way. Lori always stayed calm and focused on the bigger picture ultimately receiving multiple
bids over the asking price. In an industry where many agents are lazy and lose interest after the
first few weeks, Lori remained fully engaged throughout the process and was always available
within minutes by email or text. I couldn?t be more pleased at the result and look forward to
working with her again."
Steven L
"Capturing the hot market in Fairfield County - Lori Elkins Ferber helped us downsize by
providing us with a thorough market analysis to determine pricing for our house in Weston. In
addition to listing ourhome, she gave us valuable suggestions concerning staging a design while
handling all negotiations in a professional and ethical manner. We feel 100% confident that Lori
worked to get us the best possible price for our home and protected our interests during the sales
process. We recommend Lori without a doubt, and would use her services again."
Pamela Mcglynn
"Thank you for navigating us through this whole process. Your years of experience helped us to
get through all the glitches we ran into and to smooth it all out for us and helped to make it work
out for us. Thanks for all of your guidance and advice."
Linda Didomenico
"Lori went above and beyond to help us find our perfect house. She was always available for any
questions and requests. She kept in touch even after the process was over and made us feel like
family. Thank you, Lori!"
Oran And Melissa
"Lori helped my husband and I buy our first house. She understood and worked with our time
frame. She?s a true professional, extremely helpful, knowledgeable and responsive. Lori made
the experience easy and enjoyable. We are so thankful for her hard work and definitely
recommend her!"
Ana G Crawford
"Lori sold our house! She worked tirelessly from the first moment when she helped us
understand the market and where our house fit in, to the absolutely gorgeous photographs her
photographer took for the MLS listing, and especially the way she listened to us during the entire
process, which was very emotional for us, having lived in our ?dream home? for over 17 years
and facing a big transition for our family. She was extremely considerate and flexible in
scheduling viewings, which was really important since we entered the market during the time
when COVID-19 was at its height. She made sure that people who came to see the house
complied with health and safety standards so that we felt good about having them in the house.
When we received multiple offers, she kept calm and was able to orchestrate events so that we
received the best offer from the best buyers, with whom we went to contract and closing without
a hitch. She made everything go smoothly, and always kept the channels of communication open
with us. She was honest and straightforward about letting us know all our options at every step of
the process, and helped us get to a successful sale in a very short period of time. She has endless
energy and is always positive, which went a long way in keeping our own stress level at a
minimum. We?d recommend Lori in a heartbeat as she?s a powerhouse professional and a
wonderful person to work with."
"I had a Fantastic experience with Lori. She is extremely responsive and quick to get answers.
After I told her what I was looking for she went to work and lined up several houses for me to
look at. Unlike past experiences she found houses for me. Honestly, I?ve worked with 4 or 5 real
estate agents in the past and she was the only one that came up with houses and made a plan to
show them to me. With all of the other agents, I felt like I had to do everything. After we found
the house, Lori did not stop working until we closed. She is everything you look for in an agent
and I can?t recommend her enough. I tell everyone that?s in the market, that she?s the best!"
John Scuola
"Excellent experience working with Lori. Lori is professional, knowledgeable, very responsive and gave great advice."
John Forster
"My family and I first met Lori when looking for a short term rental during the Spring. She
quickly was able to help us find somewhere for our family to safely quarantine and was always
available for questions and information about Weston. During our 2 month stay in this rental, we
quickly fell in love with Weston and knew Lori would be the perfect person to help us find our
dream home. Transitioning from NYC with 2 small children was a challenge and there were
many non-negotiables on our list for a house. Lori went above and beyond to not only help us
find the right home but to familiarize us with the town itself. We immediately fell in love with 11
Nimrod Farm and based on the competitive marketplace, knew that we needed to take quick
action with an offer. Lori seamlessly guided us through this process, explaining each step along
the way and helping us to make the best decisions for our family. When we ended up in a
multiple offer situation, Lori was the perfect guide to help us navigate through. She provided
strategic and thoughtful suggestions on how to proceed, keeping in mind our priorities while also
understanding what would get the deal done. Within a day, our offer was accepted to which I
give full credit to Lori's strong negotiation skills. But her involvement didn't stop there. Lori
followed us in the process through the actual sale and beyond. Once we officially moved into the
house she was always available for questions regarding the town and neighborhood and checked
in on us multiple times to make sure all was well. Lori is a true pleasure to work with. She is
kind, committed, understanding and incredibly knowledgeable. Since she found our dream home
we won't need to go through this process again, but if we ever did, she would 100% be our goto."
Sara and Jason Battles
The decision to relocate our family from NYC to Connecticut was not an easy one! We started
the search with a lot of uncertainty about whether to move. And because we don't have many
friends or any family in Connecticut, we also didn't know the area at all. On top of that, having
only rented apartments in NYC, we had no idea what we really wanted in a house. So, when we
met Lori, we had questions and concerns about everything from the style, aseatic and
functionality of houses, to the vibe of each town, the school districts, and activities for kids. We
would be a daunting challenge for any broker! However, from the moment we met Lori, we felt
at ease and that we were in capable and caring hands. She didn't make us feel like she was on a
timetable, or was just looking to make a sale. Rather, she felt like an informed guide whose goal
was to find the town and home that was right for us. Since we were still based in NYC, the time
we had available to see houses was limited and getting access to them was competitive.
However, Lori was flexible and accommodating - giving generously of her time on the
weekends, hustling to schedule as many house tours as we wanted to see in one day (which was
sometimes as many as 8-10), and was responsive and communicative throughout the week. It
soon became clear that the houses that most appealed to us appealed to everyone else too! Many
of them had offers before we even got to see them, or they required a best and final offer that
evening, which was stressful when we had spent only about 15 min touring before the next
appointment showed up. At one open house in particular, which we went to on our own, the line
was literally down the driveway and along the block. We waited and waited for our turn, only to
be told when we neared the front that the open house was over. We pleaded with the gatekeeping
brokers to allow us to do a quick lap. They relented, but shooed us in and out. Nevertheless,
it was our favorite house so far, but we had seen it for less than 10min. and didn't know what to
do. We talked to Lori at length and upon hearing how torn we were, she pulled off the
impossible. She was somehow able to arrange for us to go back to the house to tour it again, but
with the owners there instead of the brokers. Not only did we get to spend nearly 45 min looking
at every detail in the house, but we bonded with the owners, who gave my kids Ring Pops, let
them play with their dogs and chatted with us about their daughter's upcoming move to NYC. We
stood in the driveway and made an above-ask offer and then rushed home to write a letter
describing how much we hoped to see our kids grow up in the "Ring Pop house", as we had
nicknamed it. As it turned out, the house had received dozens of offers that day, and we barely
cracked the top 10. It was then that we started to feel discouraged with the search. Clearly, any
house that we would want, would be in high demand for others too. And it became apparent that
given the bidding wars, we would be priced out of anything for which we felt was worth leaving
the City. This on top of the challenges of low inventory, an influx of New Yorkers looking
for similar things, our lease coming due, our free weekends increasingly limited, and all of the
other challenges that come with house hunting during Covid with 3 kids in tow. But again, Lori
pulled off the impossible. She had kept mentioning a house that she thought we would love, but
it wasn't yet on the market. Honestly, since the house wasn't listed we didn't pay much attention
whenever she mentioned this, but she felt so strongly that this house would resonate with us, that
she kept reaching out to the family living there to see whether they had made a decision to sell. It
was now September and we were about to take a much-needed vacation over Labor Day
weekend. Lori said that she wanted to call the family one more time to ask if we could just see
the house. We were exhausted, the kids were cranky, and we weren't really interested in seeing
one more house. But the owners said we could come take a look, so out of courtesy, we went to
quickly check it out. We told Lori that we wanted a house with lots of light - Pink Cloud has
huge windows that really bring the outside in. We told Lori that we wanted a house where our
nature loving kids could explore - Pink Cloud has forest, a waterfall and a creek, and within
moments our kids had spotted deer and found a frog! We told Lori that we wanted a place that
felt like a relaxing retreat, but that was also close to schools and the things we love about the
city. Pink Cloud has a rural feel, but is only 1 mile from the schools and 2 miles from restaurants
and shops. Finally, we told Lori that we wanted a house that felt like "us" - Pink Cloud had a
UVA baseball cap hanging on a hook (Koby and I met at UVA Law!) and our city kids were
running free in the yard playing with the owner's 2 labrador retrievers (the exact breed of dogs
we both grew up running in our childhood yards with). The universe was clearly telling us that
THIS was our house. And because the house was not on the market, we were in a position to
make it our home. Another silver lining is that instead of a stressful, rushed, impersonal,
competitive, arms-length transaction between brokers, we feel as if we inherited the house from a
family, and we had the opportunity to get to know them. They let our kids watch Netflix while
we took measurements, and we were able to text them just last week when a strange alarm
started going off. We're now Facebook friends and I text them photos of the kids enjoying their
new backyard. We have Lori to thank for finding us our future home. She really took the time
to understand our family, our needs, and our conflicted feelings about relocating. Despite the
challenges of searching during Covid, and from a distance, she was available, resourceful and
persistent throughout the process. And she advocated for us every step of the way.
Stephanie Shemin Feingold
"We had an excellent experience with Lori. She was very professional, proactive, and certainly
knew the marketplace well. Lori advised us well with respect to preparing our house for sale and
organizing matters with the photographer, attorney and other realtors. We received offers within
the first week and Lori provided sound and practical advice as to how best to proceed. It was a
pleasure working with Lori and we certainly would unreservedly recommend her."
Liz & Jay Rocio (Weston, CT)
"Lori Elkins Ferber is not just a realtor, she is like family! We have worked with her twice and to
say she goes the extra mile is an understatement. She knows the Lower Fairfield County market,
she cares about her clients, she gets the deal done with grace (multiple offers within days) and
she diligently works with her clients from the first meeting until closing, always with a smile and
wanting to keep her clients happy. We would hire Lori every time!!!!"
Richard and Vanessa Dampf (Weston, CT)
"We met Lori Elkins Ferber at an open house she was hosting and it was just God sent. We were
first time home buyers and had no clue how to go about this process at all. She became our agent
and patiently showed us multiple house. We had to briefly stop our search due to COVID and
when we resumed she took all necessary precaution to make us feel safe. When we finally
decided on a house she guided us through the entire process until move in and even afterwards.
We can not thank her enough for the numerous times she eased our anxiety and patiently
answered all emails, texts and calls almost immediately. We would highly recommend Lori
without reservations. We couldn't have done it without her."
Maryam Syed
"Lori Elkins Ferber was outstanding. Great company support both the realtor and company
overcame every obstacle during the sale in this difficult environment."
Mike Celluccii
"We loved Lori! She is extremely friendly and very flexible. She took us to see probably 100
houses and when we wanted to look somewhere completely out of her niche she was totally on
board. She listened to our wants and was eager to make us happy. She would check in on us
turning the mortgage process which was a nightmare (due to COVID). We highly recommend
her to anyone who is looking in Fairfield county!"
"I couldn?t be happier with working with Lori Elkins Ferber - she is an incredible agent and really
cares. My daughter and I love her! She works so hard on all aspects of helping her clients buy
and sell and most importantly find happiness in their home. She?s the best!"
Jamie Lynn
"We have worked with Lori twice and would highly recommend her as a real estate agent. We first
met Lori when looking for a rental property in Wilton/Westport. Lori?s friendly personality and
extensive knowledge of these towns convinced us to hire her as our agent when buying a house.
After several months of looking, we finally purchased a home that we love. Lori is a terrific
agent for several reasons: -Lori is patient and always has a positive attitude. We never felt rushed
during our search and when it seemed like we might never find the right house, Lori was
optimistic. -Lori listens to what you want in a home. Lori will not waste your time showing you
houses that do not meet your criteria. She saved us a substantial amount of time by previewing
properties. -Lori is great at following up-all phone calls and emails were promptly returned. -Lori
makes you feel as if you are her most important client, regardless of your budget. -Lori has
stayed in contact with us, even after the closing. If we ever decide to sell our home, we would
immediately contact Lori."
"Hire her! We moved from the Philadelphia area just over two years ago and Lori could not have
been more accommodating to our schedules and showing us around in the snow drifts that
winter. Her knowledge of the area really helped us get our bearings at each home. She was also
very attentive and listened to our needs and wants. We were growing tired of the process when
she gently insisted we visit one more house she thought we would like. We fell in love with the
house and Lori worked tirelessly to help us navigate a sale by an estate and where there were
multiple offers. Thanks to Lori?s dedication and understanding of our needs we found a great
house and we love living in Weston!"
Susan Conlin
"Moving to a new state is hard enough, but Lori Elkins made us feel right at home. She has gone above and beyond her duties as a Real Estate Agent. Not only did she find our beautiful home, she also helped us look for an appraiser, and inspector and nursery schools for our kids! She always made herself available to fit our schedule. When we first met Lori, she left her office and met us at the restaurant we were eating at with a bunch of listings and highlighted map of where each was located. We were impressed! She has an abundance of resources that can be used at her client?s disposal. She is knowledgeable, prompt and most of all very helpful. Not only is she an excellent Real Estate Agent, but she has also become a friend."
"We recently sold our home of 10 years
in Weston and used Lori as our broker.
From the initial pricing and marketing
meetings through the closing, Lori was
an ultimate professional. She is
extremely knowledgeable about the
current state of the market, competing
properties and appropriate pricing and
sales strategies. Most importantly, Lori
was very easy to work with. Whether it
was finding contractors to do minor
repairs or recommending an extremely
professional and well priced lawyer for
our closing, Lori was right there for us.
She was always accountable, a creative
problem solver and, most importantly,
actively supported our position
throughout the process. We highly
recommend Lori both as a person and a
real estate professional."
ROBERT M
"We met Lori Elkins at one of her exclusive listings. We were so impressed by her inside
knowledge of the Fairfield CT. area, and most importantly her passion with working with
people, that we quickly signed her as our exclusive agent. It was one of the best
decisions we ever made. If patience is a virtue, then Lori is a saint! She must have
shown us several dozen homes and never became tired or frustrated with us. She stuck
with us until the end and negotiated an expert deal on our dream home. We have a
family physician and now have Lori as our family real estate broker. We recommend
Lori Elkins highly and without reservation."
Dr. Amber Brody & Dr. Jeff Gardere
"I can?t thank you enough for all that you did to help make this deal happen. I know that being a real estate agent is a difficult job, and that you end up doing all kinds of different things in the process of selling a house. I also know that this particular deal was
especially challenging. You did more than could ever have been reasonably expected of you. I am extremely grateful. I also want to say that we interviewed four agents all of whom were extremely competent and experienced. I had a gut feeling from the
beginning that you would be the right choice, and equally important, so did my son. He insisted we hire you! Both of our instincts were spot on. If there is ever an opportunity to recommend an agent in your area, I won?t hesitate to recommend you. Thank you so much"

Valerie & Jeff Hunter
"Lori helped me to sell my home and to purchase a new home at a very stressful time in my life.
I was newly divorced and downsizing. Also, the housing market was very difficult.
Nonetheless, Lori?s professionalism, and enthusiasm helped to make this a positive experience.
Her background in psychology really came through, as she really listened to my needs,
communicated clearly, and always maintained confidentiality. Also, she really tuned into any
subtle communications from the opposing agent, and was able to use this to negotiate on my
behalf. Lastly, it is clear that Lori puts the needs of her clients before herself. She is always
willing to jeopardize a sale, if she feels it is not the right move for her client. Lori is the rare
agent that one can truly trust.? ?Helena S.

"We had a great experience working with Lori buying our home in Weston. Since we were
moving to the area from out of state, her knowledge of the surrounding area was invaluable And
during the whole process she was very responsive to all of our needs and available whenever we
needed her. She was also extremely helpful in coordinating our closing date, making
recommendations on lawyers and inspections once in contract. Lori offered excellent advice,
answered every question (and there were many!) and helped us make informed decisions. We
were lucky to have worked with Lori in finding our home and highly recommend her."

"My husband and I recently embarked on a cross country move to be closer to family. We knew
we were interested in an antique home in the Redding area and were very fortunate to have found
Lori to help us with our search for the perfect home for us. Lori's knowledge of the Redding area
and neighboring towns was invaluable, particularly as we were doing much of our
communication thousands of miles apart! Once we found our dream home, Lori was with us
every step of the purchasing process from negotiating price to finding an attorney to represent us
to providing us with recommended service providers. Moving for anyone can be a very stressful
time. Lori's calmness and support helped to make our transition to this new chapter in our lives a
smooth one. We knew we could trust her and that we were in good hands. We highly recommend
Lori as the consummate real estate professional and as a person of integrity."
Susan Marilley
"Lori was a great help at all stages of selling our mother's condo. She advised us on local
craftsmen to help get the condo in shape to sell, and even met them occasionally at the condo for
us. My sister and I live out of state, and had full confidence in Lori's ability to market the condo
and represent us to potential buyers. She has a lot of knowledge about market conditions in the
area. Eventually the condo sold for near asking price in a cool market. Thank you, Lori!"
Charlie Hammerslough
"I wholeheartedly recommend Lori. Despite a challenging situation?we were out of state and needed help in preparing the house to sell?she helped us get close to asking
price in a timely way. She went above and beyond in coordinating work on the house, cleaning, and staging the house for sale. Overall, working with Lori was an excellent experience."

"Lori did a wonderful job selling my house during a less marketable time of the year. Her years
in counseling helped me to navigate an often stressful process-she was able to keep her head
when I was losing mine! She was both tenacious and flexible in marketing my home. Lori?s
communication with prospective clients, brokers, attorneys, town officials and myself was
excellent...If you want a proactive advocate/agent who will go that extra mile for you, I would,
without reservation, recommend Lori Elkins."
Barabara Catton
"?Lori Elkins worked with us to buy our home in Weston about two years ago. She minimized
our ?wheel spinning? by showing us only those houses that met our parameters. When we found
a house we liked, she worked diligently and assertively with the owner?s broker to resolve all of
the ?issue? and negotiate the best possible price on our behalf. We found Lori to be not only
highly competent, but also a pleasure to deal with. She was always very pleasant, patient, and
attentive to our needs and concerns. This is a woman who goes above and beyond the call of
duty. She provided us with excellent service not only during the search and buying process, but
after we had moved in as well, offering a multitude of referrals and helpful information. We
heartily recommend Lori to anyone who is seeking to purchase a home in the wonderful town of
Weston."

worked with over many years, I have found Lori to have exceptional skills and instincts as an
agent. In a sales profession that is fraught with many actual and potential conflicts of interest, I
have never doubted that Lori always puts her clients? needs and interests first. She is always
candid and answers questions patiently, thoughtfully and intelligently...Lori clearly takes a
holistic, customer service view in working with her clients. I recommend her services
enthusiastically and highly."

"My husband and I bought our home with Lori Elkins. What could?ve been a very stressful time

"Anybody can sail in calm seas and be successful at it. When calm seas turn turbulent, it takes an experienced captain to know how to navigate those rough seas.
Real Estate Transactions are like sailing. When everything goes right, it's easy. A full price offer is made and everybody shows up at the closing table with a smile on their face. When the first contingency is challenged or the inspection report comes back like a Home Depot shopping list, you need an experienced agent negotiating for you. An agent who will push back when necessarry and explain to you why you may need to concede for the bigger picture. Plus it doesn't hurt that she is just the kindest person! In order to get you into port safely, you need an agent like Lori Elkins Ferber."
Jeff and Velerie Hunter (Wilton, CT)
In my lifetime I have sold four houses in three states, and never could I have imagined having a realtor as wonderful as Lori Elkins Ferber to help. For starters, Lori is genuinely kind and considerate. This isn?t only manifest in her nice demeanor: It bursts forth in the energy she brings to all the "sellers? dilemmas". To the question 'How should we price our home?? Lori brings thorough analytics across a wide range of parameters. She shares her thinking, including her uncertainties and hashes them out intelligently, well beyond what is provided by the software so that we can make what we feel is a fully informed choice. ?Should we get on the market right away, even though it may be a holiday weekend??. We discuss risks and indeed potential benefits of being one of only few homes coming at a time when there may also be fewer buyers looking. ?How do I get organized and help my home to present well?? Lori doesn?t stop with just staging ideas. She has been known to show up in work clothes and (with the greatest respect) recommend some furniture rearranging and then with our approval single handedly carrying it out! In this, Lori is a force of nature! Next she brought ?her secret weapon? a lovely and skilled photographer, an artist who saw our home as a series of still-life images to be captured joyfully. Finally, speaking of energy: Lori scheduled open houses three days in a row, graciously and skillfully managing what became multiple offers. And here we again saw the genuinely kind and considerate Lori, listening to the wishes and dreams of potential buyers, bringing us each story, helping us to navigate what would for us be the most advantageous transaction, and a fulfilled dream for the next family. We can?t think of a single quality in a realtor we could have wanted that Lori didn?t bring to this experience. We feel immensely fortunate to have found her.
Judy Jaeger and Dan Stein (47 Ledge Brook Road, Stamford, CT)
"For the third time, Lori has guided me through either the purchase or sale of a property. Not only is she intimately familiar with the real estate market in Fairfield County, Lori is the consummate professional who is involved in every detail of the transaction until it closes. She treated the sale of my condo as though it were the only listing she was managing. As a result of her commitment and efforts, we received 12 offers - all of which were above the list price - a mere 3 days after the condo went on the market! In addition to being a talented real estate agent, Lori is responsive, attentive, patient, persistent, and willing to go the extra mile. Lori has become my go-to real estate agent."

"We immensely enjoyed working with Lori on behalf of our son.. She tirelessly met our demands and did not give up on continuing to show us homes that she felt would fit his needs. In the end, one was discovered and we have closed and a new chapter begins for him. Thank you, Lori, for your continuous unrelenting efforts.-Lauren M."

- Lori is your very friendly and empathetic partner in the process, always looking out for your interests, and gently guiding you without pushing you.

"Lori is a true professional. As my listing agent, she marketed my property in the most favorable light which resulted in the successful sale of the property. I would highly recommended Lori to anyone looking for a seamless real estate experience."
Russell Berkowitz (Fairfield, CT)
"We first worked with Lori when we were looking for a house over 12 years ago. Relocating from a different country was stressful, but Lori went above and beyond, making the search for a new home as easy as possible. When we started a search again for a home for our parents, there was no question about who to call. Again, Lori was organized, attentive and super helpful. We recommend her to everyone we know without hesitation. Thank you, Lori!"
