I had the pleasure of working with Lori Rowe for just under 20 years. I saw her development from rookie (of course she was Rookie of the Year) in a very competitive office, to Number 1 Sales Associate in the whole Chicago Coldwell Banker organization. She now consistently ranks as the number one agent for Coldwell Banker in the Northwest Suburbs of Chicago.
Lori achieved and continues to achieve success by focusing on each client as an individual and at the same time enlisting the real estate community in her efforts. Lori gets to know her clients and their specific needs. For sellers, she knows their property inside and out. She crafts a marketing plan based on her long experience in the market place, incorporating the needs of the clients, strengths of the property, and the most likely buyers for the property and makes sure that agents most likely to have buyers find out about the property. Lori communicates every step of the way, which sadly isn't done by a great many agents.
After a property is under contract, Lori and her team stay on top of every detail. She makes sure that her clients know where they stand every step of the way even in the toughest circumstances. She makes it her business to see that her clients are satisfied and that every question is answered.
When Lori works with a seller or a buyer, the adjective that pops into my mind is tireless. Her mission is to sell for top dollar or to find you the best property period. It doesn't matter if she has it listed or the worst broker possible, Lori focuses on what is best for the clients. Outstanding help with financing and the details follows contract signing.
Lori has an outstanding reputation with her competitors which only enhances the opportunities her clients have to sell for the best price or get the best properties first. Vendors bend over backwards for Lori's clients. Lori doesn't talk customer service, she lives it.
Lori's clients become part of her network. She has helped people make connections that have led to jobs, opportunities, friendships and even marriages. She is an invaluable resource for her clients. I have often said that Lori should be the poster person for real estate done right.
Recently, I started my own real estate coaching and consulting business. Many of the principles of my business are based on Lori's method of handling real estate. One last thing I would say about Lori is despite all her success, she is humble and a nice person.
