Where do I begin?! So many great things to say about Lori! We first worked with Lori a little over a year ago when looking for a rental due to a military relocation. We knew we would only be in town for a few days to look so I reached out before our arrival with our criteria. Within less than an hour she sent me listings, lined up showings for the days we would be in town and helped us secure a rental before we left to go back knowing we wouldn't be in Pinehurst again until a couple of months later. Throughout the last year Lori has kept in touch with personal handwritten cards for every holiday. Near the end of our lease, she reached out to see if we were going to stay in our current location or look for something else. We were going to stay put until the most perfect and beautiful house went up for sale 3 months later. I contacted Lori immediately and requested a showing. She was quick on sending paperwork, answering texts/phone calls, and was so fun to work with! We are not first time home buyers and have plenty of experience with realtors and she has just raised the bar for all realtors and put them on notice! Basically, she's the UNICORN of realtors!

Lori was amazing. We were out of state and found a home in North Carolina. Lori was my eyes and ears when I couldn't be there. She went above and beyond our expectations to make sure our purchase went smoothly. Lori is a wonderful realtor and a very caring person. Thank you for all your help.

Lori helped us buy our first home sight unseen until the day before closing. She was timely with responses, super knowledgeable of the process and has a wealth of information about this area. Her recommendations were always spot on. It was so comforting to know we had someone in our corner when we were not present. She even held our baby during closing. Thanks for making this experience so easy for us, Lori!

There are not words to describe how amazing it was to work with Lori! She helped us sell our first home with ease. She was detailed, and organized from the start. Doing her own floor plan of our home to get the most accurate information. Lori made a few suggestions on what improvements we could do to help our home sell faster. She hired a professional photographer to take amazing photos for marketing. We were a bit nervous that selling our home from out of state would be stressful, but Lori was there following up on every detail. Her professional insight and emotional support during our process made it a quick and easy. She was easy to communicate with when issues arose, and was quick to respond and jump in to help solve any issue. While other homes in our neighborhood have sat on the market for months, ours had an offers pouring in right away. We are so happy with the outcome of our sale! Thank you for everything, Lori!

I came in contact with Lori when she responded to my inquiry. She not only answered all of my questions ( Oh did I have plenty) but she responded quickly. She went out of her way to take photos I requested and spend extra hours sending me listings and showing me properties. Being across the country for most of the process she was more than accomodating. I would definitely recommend her services.

Lori was wonderful! My family and I just purchased a home while living out of country. It was a new build and she went above and beyond to ensure that our needs were met. She was there every step of the way to do walk throughs, make sure certain additions made by the builder were carried out properly and was always available to answer any concerns that we had. She made the home buying process less stressful and I am so grateful that we chose her as our realtor. I would recommend anyone searching for a home to reach out to Lori and feel confident that she will make the house hunting experience a positive one!

I had the honor of meeting Lori last year when I enlisted her to sell my house, which she did in 9 days! So of course I asked her to use her wonderful magic again to find me a new home! I now live in the most wonderful condo community!! Lori is so sweet and so in tune with her clients needs and wants! I have moved a \u201Cfew\u201D times in my life, but I have never had an agent so absolutely professional, BUT still as warm and caring as Lori! I am so thrilled to have had her work with me to find my wonderful home. But most of all the best part is that I made a forever friend and so will you! She’s the best!

Lori was awesome. I just bought my first home last week. She helped me through the entire process and made herself completely available for any and everything I needed. Her response time to every text/email/phone call was literally 5 minutes or less. She is young, spunky, full of energy and so great to work with. She understood what I was looking for which made finding the right house very easy and fast. Everything went so smoothely and came together so quickly that i was actually able to close in 22 days. Thanks again Lori, I LOVE my new home!

Lori was an outstanding, personable, and knowledgeable source for our recent home purchase. She is so down to earth and was able to translate our family's home requirements into a tailored and manageable search. My wife and I likely looked at roughly 100 homes and Lori was able to provide very specific additional information about each home if needed. Additionally, she provided pertinent information about the local area (schools, economic trends, quality of life info, etc.) and this greatly helped narrow our search. She is also tuned in to the military requirements and easily understood the constraints of moving a family across the country. Absolutely recommend!

Lori is simply amazing, she was able to help us get into our home smoothly and as quickly as we wanted. Despite my family having several hiccups along the way that caused us to change directions on her not once, not twice, but three seperate times! She never hesitated to help in every single way she could and she was always on top of everything. Truly a wonderful person to have as our realtor! She is very professional but makes you feel comfortable to ask all the questions you need to. Lori went above and beyond for my family since day one, and we are still in touch! We are so blessed to have met her! I highly recommend Lori!

Lori was a pleasure to work with. She helped us find our perfect home, answering all of our questions along the way and even after we had moved in. She really got to know who we are and helped us find not only the house but the area that was exactly what we wanted. We can't thank her enough! ?

Would recommend to any new or experienced home-buyer. Lori is a consummate professional and frequently went out of her way to ensure that I received excellent and timely information to ensure that I was well informed and was able to get the best deal. She walked me through the process as a first time buyer and answered all questions along the way. Her help and dedication directly contributed to me finding the ideal home!

I have just had the most wonderful experience of my life. Working with Lori Van Etten as my realtor was the best decision! I have never before had to sell a house on my own and having Lori by my side made it so easy and pleasant! Even if it was long distance at times.(lol) Everything went so smooth! Because of her expertise, my house sold quickly and easily and the best thing that happened, I have a new friend! Sincerely,

Lori helped me find a place with only a week notice. She worked very hard to find a place within my budget in the area i needed, and even though I had to leave the area to continue my military move she kept looking after I was gone and made sure I could move in on time. Highly recommended.

Lori helped us find the perfect home for our family. Moving back to the States from overseas was stressful but because of Lori, finding a home was not. She is very genuine and always made us feel like she was looking out for our best interest. She understood our vision and always went out of her way to find the answers to our questions. She planned our daily viewing schedule to accommodate our little ones and she had plenty of knowledge about the area. I highly recommend Lori for any of your real estate needs!

As a first time homebuyer I was like a deer in the headlights! I loved how Lori took the time to explain processes and the many unknowns I had no clue about. Lori is patient and NOT PUSHY like many other real estate agents I’ve met. She took time to really understand our needs, what type of home we were looking for and really learned about our family. Her search for us was all about finding us a home we’d LOVE!!! She did just that! SIGHT UNSEEN, we enlisted full confidence and trust in her to help us find the perfect home for our family while communicating via countless FaceTimes, videos & photos. She made moving from Hawaii to North Carolina so much easier because her patience and dedication to our family/new home was unwavering!!! THANK YOU for not being pushy & for your professionalism in advocating for us! I highly recommend Lori for your real estate needs, her quality to serving you excellence is unmatched!!

Lori from the very beginning was friendly, kind, and listened to our wants and needs. The perfect combination of diligence to the work and genuine relate ability. She not only showed us a huge spectrum of homes but also recommended great restaurants, gave us lots of information about community events, and even short cuts around the circle. In every aspect of our interaction with Lori she went above and beyond. We wholeheartedly appreciate and recommend her.
