Lorie Gould

"Hi Lorie - You are amazing - and I'm grateful. I confess it has been painful putting money into a house and dropping the price, but you have taken the pain out for the most part. I am amazed at the way you have thrown yourself into this project - almost as if it were your own house. I realize you have invested some of your potential commission, but more than that, you have invested a great deal of time and effort into handling all these details. Of course the main thing is to sell the house, but even now I have to say you have provided the best service of any realtor I have ever dealt with. I wish we'd signed on with you back in March - the house most likely would have sold before the summer! God Bless You. You deserve to get this sale! Thanks again, Dan"

"When I talk to others about you and your service first of all I tell them we have become friends because I respected you that much. I think you are exceptional at what you do, you had a knowledge base to pull from that was very helpful to me and to others in regards to school districts, economy, market value, jails, new subdivisions vs. old subdivisions, cable lines, traffic, the list is endless. I believe that in your line of work and the years of experience you have that this knowledge base is invaluable, it comes so natural to you that you may not realize that you are providing this neutral, none biased information that we as house buyers find extremely helpful when shopping for the biggest purchase of our lives. Outstanding, a side from your patience the fact that you are the right combo of assertiveness and laid back which I'm sure took time to develop. We had used 4 realtors in the last year but when we found you we know you would stick the others were nice but I don't think they were in the right field for themselves. You LISTEN and are OBSERVANT - that is key and you do it very well, you listened to what we said and didn't voice your opinion and remained professional. From the very first house you showed us you observed our likes, reactions, and dislikes and made a mental note of this from there you created a list of houses and each one had the features we were looking for so we didn't feel like we were wasting your time or ours. The listening and observing must serve you well in that you are respecting the client and their wishes, saving time, money, energy and gaining client trust while doing so. Honestly you've made me think about being a realtor! I could go on but I will save the rest for your boss, I had promised you a letter and now that I'm writing this it refreshed my mind that, that is something I wanted to do for you. I will draft something up for her or him and send it out within the next couple of weeks. Have a great day! Sincerely, Caroline"

"I saw Lorie's listing sign at a home in my neighborhood. Knowing that I would soon be listing my own home, I decided to attend her Open House to see how the home looked and "quiz" the selling agent. The home was immaculate and Lorie was extremely knowledgeable and professional. I posed as a buyer who was relocating from Houston, TX. Lorie answered all of my questions about the schools, commute times and local amenities. She impressed me so much that I knew when I left the Open House that she would be my agent when I got ready to sell. Lorie has not disappointed. When I called to initiate the selling process, I explained that I had "misrepresented" myself at the Open House and that I was really looking to sell a home and relocate to Houston, TX (not the other way around). She laughed and said that she remembered me, that people "misrepresent" themselves all the time and that she was excited about the opportunity to work with my family. She has helped my husband and I prepare our house for sale and we had a contract within the first week it was listed! She has assisted us with all of our needs and we will close next week. I very much appreciate Lorie's honesty, professional advice and hard work! I have recommended her to my friends and neighbors. Thanks, Lorie, for all of your efforts on our behalf! Sincerely, Amy Griffin"

"I cannot say enough about the positive impact Lorie Gould has brought to my home buying and selling success. In short...While in an area that Lorie supports, I hope she continues to be my Realtor for life (if she'll have me)! During buying or selling, Lorie brings... Incredible market knowledge. Whether it be new or resell home availability, assessing accurate value/ worth, trends impacting the experience, knowledge of the process, guiding clients thru complicated contracts, or simply answering questions in a way that's easily understandable. Lorie is second to no one! Impressive work ethic and commitment to quality. Lorie was consistently available and flexible with our schedules; prepared with valuable information at every meeting. From day one, Lorie is prepared with content that buyers NEED to make educated purchases, or sellers need to prepare and list their home for quick turnover and optimal worth. Lorie's advice and process works! For those buying... Lorie has a unique talent to asking the right questions, listening to your answers, and turning those conversations into real possibilities. No time was wasted with showings that missed the mark! For those selling... Week after week, Lorie generated significantly more showings than all other realtors combined. Working with Lorie maximized the number of qualified buyers that viewed my home, and as a result, minimized the time from listing to sold! I encourage anyone to partner with Lorie during your buying or selling process, as I hope to again in the future. I have no doubt, Lorie's great attitude, determination, market knowledge and deep experience will impress you and result in success! ~ Jeremy Gentry"
