Who I am...
As a native of San Jose, I was raised in the Rose Garden neighborhood and grew up in its public schools. I started my own business in my early 20s and moved onto the real estate in 1986, where I have thrived for the last 30 years. As a Realtor®, I strive to make your sale as smooth as possible, utilizing my knowledge, intuition, and experience for the best possible outcome. I want to impress you so much that you will recommend me to your friends and family. In fact, a majority of my business comes from repeat clients and their referrals. There are a few issues I have not seen over the course of my long career. My experience gives me the confidence to negotiate tough transactions and solve any problems that may come up. From studs to sheetrock, I know construction inside and out. I will use this knowledge to help you better understand all of the disclosures and inspections relating to the property as well. I am a mother of two twenty-something daughters, so I am well versed on the schools in our valley. My older daughter, Lindsey, joined me in the business a few years ago and offers a young, technical edge to my established business. Not only do we love what we do, but we are grateful to be working with each other every day. No matter what your real estate goals are, we provide you with honest and reliable service and strive to make you a client for life.
Our Philosophy
Buying or selling a home is one of the most important decisions you will make in your life. I focus on my clients' needs, first and foremost. If you are looking to sell your home, my job is to price it accurately and effectively market your home so you will receive the highest possible price in the least amount of time. As a buyer, you will draw on my experience with all types of properties and neighborhoods. My goal is to direct you to the areas that best suit your needs and to educate you on the loan and sales process. When you find your dream home, you will have the confidence to go forward with an offer. Nothing feels better to me than to have a happy customer moving into the home they have dreamed of and will be proud of for years to come.
To My Clients
I would love to work with you in making your real estate dreams come true. Please contact me to discuss any questions or concerns you may have, or if you are looking to buy or sell a home anytime in the near future. I look forward to working with you!
"Lorelei was a pleasure to work with. She made sure to have a clear understanding of what we were looking for early on, so our time and energy was not wasted. Her knowledge, experience, and foresight were very beneficial while negotiating a purchase in a sellers market. We were both extremely happy with her representation, and would recommend her to anyone. "
"Lorelei is a fantastic, all-around real agent who has helped us with multiple real estate transactions. She found us the home we currently live in and helped us get settled in with advice, recommendations, and professional referrals. Later Lorelei helped sell our a condo a top dollar, and more recently she helped us purchase rental property that she continues to manage for us. Lorelei really hustles for her clients, is extremely knowledgeable about the area and just about anything real estate related. She's also very patient which helped us make careful decisions on these big investments. I've recommended her to friends who were looking for a bigger place and they are equally happy with the results."
"Lorelei was amazingly instrumental in helping me and my husband find our dream home. She was patient, understanding, organized and filled with a lot of great information and help. I highly recommend her to anyone that wants to find the home of their dreams!"
"Lorelei helped me buy my first/current home after my divorce. I knew absolutely nothing about buying a home. She helped me through the entire process and I ended up buying a short sale that I absolutely love and is perfect for me and my two children. She was the only realtor that I knew at the time that would even bother with a short sale. She handled all the many details accurately and professionally, and really went over and above what I would expect of any realtor. I highly recommend Lorelei to anyone wanting to buy or sell a home. She is a very hard worker and will do everything possible to help you with your specific needs. She is terrific!"
"Lorelei was a godsend. She helped us navigate a tricky market and close, and was patient throughout and honest and helpful. I would not hesitate to recommend her on the purchase or sale of a home."
