WE MET LORI MACGOWAN 20 YEARS AGO WHEN WE PURCHASED OUR NEW CONSTRUCTION HOME FROM HER. WHEN IT WAS TIME TO SELL, WE IMMEDIATELY WENT BACK TO LORI TO HANDLE THE SALE OF OUR HOUSE AS WE RELOCATED TO ANOTHER STATE. LORI IS EASILY ONE OF THE BEST IN THE BUSINESS WITH HER MANY YEARS OF EXPERIENCE, HER PEOPLE AND COMMUNICATION SKILLS, AND KNOWLEDGE OF THE REAL ESTATE PROCESS AND PROCEDURES, WHICH INCLUDES HER CONNECTIONS IN THE INDUSTRY AND SUPPORT NETWORK. LORI EFFICIENTLY WALKED US THROUGH THE STEPS, HELPED US ARRIVE AT THE APPROPRIATE LISTING PRICE AND GUIDED US ON WHAT NEEDED TO BE DONE TO GET THE HOUSE READY FOR SHOWING, HELPED WITH THE CORRECT ALLOWANCES TO OVERCOME ANY CONCERNS AND KEEP OUR PROPERTY AND PRICE ATTRACTIVE FOR BUYERS WHEN SOME POST INSPECTION FIXES WERE NEEDED. LORI'S FOCUSED EFFORTS LEAD TO A SUCCESSFUL REAL ESTATE EXPERIENCE. WE WILL ALWAYS RECOMMEND LORI TO ALL OF OUR FRIENDS LOCALLY. SHE IS AN EXCELLENT ROLE MODEL FOR ALL OF HER COLLEAGUES AS WELL. LORI IS A SEASONED PROFESSIONAL.

LORI MACGOWAN WENT ABOVE AND BEYOND FROM DAY 1, CONSTANTLY UPDATING US AS THINGS PROGRESSED. WE WOULD CONSTANTLY SEND HER LISTINGS FROM WEBSITES AND SHE ALWAYS ANSWERED IMMEDIATELY DAY OR NIGHT, AND WITH AN EXTREMELY HIGH AMOUNT OF KNOWLEDGE ABOUT THE LISTING(S) WE INQUIRED ABOUT. SHE WAS VERY PROFESSIONAL AND EFFICIENT AND SHE WAS NOT AFRAID TO TELL US HER TRUE OPINION OF A PROPERTY WITHOUT TRYING TO SWAY OUR OPINION. THROUGHOUT THE WHOLE PROCESS WE FELT LIKE LORI TRULY HAD OUR BEST INTEREST IN MIND AND WAS NOT INTERESTED IN SELLING US JUST ANY HOUSE. SHE WAS ACTUALLY INTERESTED IN FINDING THE BEST HOUSE FOR US.
I WOULD HIGHLY RECOMMEND HER TO ANYONE NEEDING THE SERVICES OF A GOOD REALTOR.

LORI MACGOWAN WAS THE ONLY PERSON WE WOULD EVEN CONSIDER TO BE OUR AGENT-WHETHER SELLING OR BUYING. WITH THE STEADY COURSE LORI SET, WE WERE ABLE TO FIND THE HOUSE THAT WORKED FOR US FOR $92K LESS THAN THE OWNER PAID 15 YEARS PRIOR.
IN THE BEGINNING, WE DIDN'T EVEN REALIZE THIS WAS WHAT WE WERE LOOKING FOR. SOMEHOW WE THINK LORI KNEW US BETTER THAN WE KNEW OURSELVES! WORKING WITH LORI WAS FUN. SHE WAS ALWAYS UPBEAT AND SUPPORTIVE AND SHE WAS ON TIME FOR EVERY APPOINTMENT AND WAS ALWAYS WELL PREPARED WITH ALL OF THE PERTINENT INFO. IF SHE DID KNOW KNOW AN ANSWER TO A QUESTION, SHE WOULD IMMEDIATELY GET IT FOR US. HER WEALTH OF KNOWLEDGE AND EXPERIENCE PROVED TO BE INVALUABLE. SHE POINTED OUT PROS AND CONS OF EACH PROPERTY, BOTH TO US PERSONALLY AND TO THE RESALE MARKET; DETAILS THAT WOULD HAVE ESCAPED OUR ATTENTION. WE ALSO WANT TO MENTION THAT LORI WAS OUR LISTING AGENT WHEN WE SOLD OUR AVON HOUSE IN 2005. WE WERE DELIGHTED WITH THE EFFICIENT, PROFITABLE SALE. WE WERE HIGHLY IMPRESSED WITH THE WAY SHE REPEATEDLY WENT BEYOND THE CALL TO MAKE SURE EVERYTHING WORKED OUT. SHE HAD OUR BACKS FROM START TO FINISH ON BOTH TRANSACTIONS.

WE MET LORI MACGOWAN 5 YEARS AGO WHEN I SAW A HOUSE ON ZILLOW. WE WERE SO IMPRESSED WITH HER CANDOR AND WILLINGNESS TO LISTEN TO OUR NEEDS AND HELP US FIND THE RIGHT HOUSE THAT WE STAYED WITH HER THROUGH THE WHOLE PROCESS. WE LIVED IN NORTHERN MA AND MY SON WAS LIVING IN TERRIBLE CONDITIONS IN UNION, CT. OUR BUDGET WAS LOW. LORI NEVER TREATED US ANY DIFFERENT THAN IF WE HAD A LARGE BANKROLL TO INVEST. LORI STUCK WITH US AND FOUND US A NICE STARTER HOME IN BOLTON. FAST FORWARD TO NOW. THE LITTLE FAMILY IS GROWING AND IT WAS TIME TO UPGRADE. I CALLED LORI AND ASKED HER TO BE OUR SELLER AND BUYER BROKER AND SHE QUICKLY AGREED. THE MARKET IS MUCH DIFFERENT NOW. SHE WAS RIGHT THERE WITH EVERY OFFER WE MADE (AND LOST) UNTIL WE FINALLY FOUND OUR HOUSE. LORI HANDLED THE SALE OF THE BOLTON HOUSE WITH THE SMOOTH EXPERTISE WE HAVE COME TO EXPECT, CROSSING ALL THE T'S AND DOTTING ALL THE I'S. SHE WORKED EQUALLY AS HARD WITH OUR PURCHASE OF THE MANCHESTER HOUSE. WHEN IT CAME TIME TO CLOSE ON THE BOLTON HOUSE, BANK OF AMERICA MISSED MULTIPLE CLOSING DATES AND WERE INCOMMUNICADO THROUGH THE ENTIRE PROCESS, WHICH COST US AN ADDITIONAL UNNECESSARY $4,000 IN EXPENSES (HOTEL ROOM, U-HAUL STORAGE AND RENTAL, AND HIRING MOVERS TO HELP LOAD AND UNLOAD) BECAUSE OF BOFA'S LACK OF INTEREST IN OUR CLOSING STATUS/SITUATION, AND DUE TO THEIR INABILITY/LACK OF ABILITY TO HANDLE THE LOAN IN A TIMELY MANNER. IF WE WERE TO EVER DECIDE TO TRY ANOTHER CT PURCHASE, LORI IS THE ONLY AGENT WE WOULD EVEN CONSIDER USING.

LORI MACGOWAN - IS OUR FAVORITE REALTOR!! WE CLOSED IN NOVEMBER 2020 AND LORI MADE SURE EVERY DETAIL WAS FOLLOWED. WE WERE ABLE TO CLOSE AT ASKING PRICE, A BIT BELOW WHAT WE HAD PUT IT ON THE MARKET FOR ORIGINALLY. LORI DID CAUTION US ABOUT REACHING ABOVE THE COMPS, BUT WE RISKED IT AND SWUNG FOR THE FENCES. LORI WAS RIGHT. WE NEEDED TO STAY WITHIN THE COMPS AND THE APPRAISAL WINDOW. SHE IS A KNOWLEDGEABLE PROFESSIONAL. WE HAD WORKED WITH LORI WHEN WE SOLD OUR HOME IN WEST HARTFORD 3 YEARS PRIOR AND THERE WAS NEVER A QUESTION WHO WE WOULD HIRE TO HELP US SELL OUR CONDO. LORI MAINTAINS A CALMNESS WHEN THINGS AND DATES GET UPSET FROM THE OTHER SIDE. NOT A PROBLEM. LORI JUST FINDS SOLUTIONS AND SCENARIOS THAT WILL WORK GOING FORWARD, NOT DWELLING ON THE DETAILS THAT DON'T MATTER. WE LIKE THAT SHE LAYS IT ALL OUT AND GIVES US THE STRAIGHT TALK. NO SUGAR COATING. LORI IS OUR FAVORITE REALTOR!!

WHAT A JOY IT WAS TO HAVE LORI MACGOWAN AS OUR REALTOR FOR THE RECENT SALE OF OUR ANTIQUE HOUSE. WHEN I FIRST CONTACTED LORI, SHE RESPONDED IMMEDIATELY AND WE MADE PLANS TO MEET AND DISCUSS THE SALE OF OUR HOUSE. FROM THE MOMENT WE MET, SHE STARTED WORKING FOR US WITH SUCH ENERGY AS I'VE NEVER SEEN. SHE WENT OVER AND BEYOND FROM DAY 1, CONSTANTLY UPDATING US AS THINGS PROGRESSED. SHE WAS KNOWLEDGEABLE, PROFESSIONAL, AND EFFICIENT. I WOULD HIGHLY RECOMMEND HER TO ANYONE NEEDING THE SERVICES OF A GOOD REALTOR.
