In the ever-evolving Long Island real estate market, who you work with matters. With nearly 24 years of dedicated service at Coldwell Banker, Lori Arav offers a level of expertise that few can match. Having recently transitioned from her role as an Office Manager (2023–2025) back into full-time sales, Lori brings a "behind-the-scenes" mastery of contract strategy and high-level negotiation back to the front lines for her clients. A Professional Standard of Excellence Lori's philosophy is simple: her clients deserve the highest level of professionalism, honesty, and integrity. As an Associate Real Estate Broker and a consistent member of the International Diamond Society (ranking in the top 11% of agents worldwide), her standards are uncompromising. Whether she is strategically marketing a luxury listing or navigating a complex purchase, Lori finds her greatest satisfaction in the successful close—and the peace of mind she provides her families along the way. Deeply Rooted in the Community A resident of Dix Hills for over 28 years, Lori's local knowledge is as deep as it is personal. Having raised her two sons (now ages 24 and 26) through the Half Hollow Hills School District, she has been a long-time fixture in the PTA, the Melville Chamber of Commerce, the Huntington Chamber of Commerce, and various local organizations. She doesn't just sell houses here; she understands the heartbeat of the neighborhoods she serves.

Beyond the Closing Table When she isn't advocating for her clients, Lori embraces the Long Island lifestyle—whether she's cycling, practicing yoga, or enjoying live music. A passionate cook and baker, she knows that a house is more than an investment—it's the place where your family's best memories are made.

With a BBA in Business Management from the University of Massachusetts, Amherst, and 12 years of experience at a premier NYC Advertising & Marketing firm, she brings a level of promotional sophistication to real estate that few can match.
