I can't stress enough how important it is to work with an agent who has substantial experience. After a negative experience with another agent with just a couple of yrs experience, we chose to work with Lori for her 20+ yrs experience. Lori was very professional, dedicated, and didn't miss a detail. She is a very strong and successful problem solver and gets the job done with a very friendly & approachable personality.

Lori Ratz was exceptional to work with. She really went above and beyond to help us find a home. We live out of state, and it was difficult to come back and look at homes, so Lori would go through the homes and Face time with us, so we could get a look at the homes. She would give us her honest opinion, and we trusted her input. We were grateful for her professional advice, and were so happy when we finally found the right house for us. I would not hesitate to recommend Lori to anyone looking for a hime!

Lori has gone above and beyond for us during and after our home buying process.

Searching for a home can be stressful and with todays market we felt very defeated and at a dead end. I found Loris information on a Zillow ad but before reaching out my husband and I took a drive through the subdivision. We reached out to Lori and she gave us a walk through within days. Instantly we knew we wanted this house and by the end of the week we signed a contract! Lori made the process seamless and was there every step of the way. I could not thank her enough for helping us find OUR home.

I knew Lori from years past and had gotten re-acquainted with her. I had been looking for a home for several months. I did not have an actual Realtor because I could not seem to find one that could or would consistently help me find a home. Lori was the first to really listen to me. Find out exactly what kind of house I was looking for and where, and anytime a home came on the market that matched my criteria, she made sure I knew about it immediately. I had to search Zillow and then ask previous Realtors I'd had if they could show me a home and then hope they could find the time. Lori always made the time. If it wasn't exactly when I asked, it was within a half an hour and she was always already at the home and waiting for me with answers to any questions I might have about it. If she did not know the answer, she found it, then and there.
Lori is also incredibly personable. On top of being exceptionally good at her job she felt like a real friend after the first showing and certainly is a friend again now & forever. I was very picky when it came to finding my home. Lori worked hard for me and never gave up even when I almost did. I am happy to say I am in my home now, thanks to Lori's efforts and I'm very grateful. I love my new home. I would recommend Lori Ratz-Moore to anyone who wants a realtor who takes them seriously, cares that you, the client, gets exactly the home you are looking for rather than quickly trying to "sell" you for a commission and move on and will work hard to make sure that you not only find a house, but your home.

Once Lori became involved, I had a good offer on my house which had been on the market for over a year with another agency. She is an excellent negotiator, ironing out the details of the contract so as not to lose the buyer. Lori was always available to answer my questions, and guided me though the sales process faultlessly. Always letting me know what to expect. She is a shining example of honesty, capability, and professionalism. She was a joy to work with and I am very grateful for the excellent job she did.

Purchasing a home is probably the biggest financial decision you'll ever make. Working with Lori, a full time agent, made the process so simple. If your the type of person that's like to be informed of every little step, then Lori Rates is your agent! DETAIL, DETAIL, DETAIL, never had to ask a question, she made it STRESS FREE:)

Lori was the consummate professional in selling our Mother's house. She was very familiar with value of the houses in the neighborhood and where to price our house. She assisted with the negotiations and we were able to get very close to our original asking price. Prior to putting the house on the market she walked through with us and identified the improvements we needed to make that would have the greatest effect on the speed of the sale. She also assisted with convincing our members of the family that the price to put it on the market was the optimum price for a quick sale with maximum profit potential. Very satisfied with her sale of our house.
Brianne W.

Lori has been amazing to work with throughout our selling and buying of our previous and our current house journey. She went above and beyond to make sure my family's needs were met both times.
