Lori Elkins

As your real estate agent, it is important to Lori that she do more than just meet your expectations...she wants to exceed them. She is constantly anticipating the needs of her clients. That means she might: pack a cooler of food and drinks for a relocating client who needs to cover a lot of ground in a limited time; or send comparables to a buyer who is deliberating about what to offer for a house; or take a potential seller to view active comparables so that they can truly understand the pricing of their home. She takes great pride in providing a service that her client may not have even recognized or articulated that they actually need.

As a former Psychologist, Lori has found that her background translates well into Real Estate. She recognizes that even a seemingly 'positive' move is stressful and will do what she can to ease this transition. She is an excellent listener. For a buyer, she will really pay attention to their description of what they are looking for in an ideal home. She will preview inventory promptly and will not waste time showing those homes that are not in line with my client's criteria. For a seller, she will listen to what they have liked in their current home and use this in her marketing materials. When negotiating, she will listen to the other agent's covert communications and use these to her client's advantage. She is also an effective and clear communicator and have absolute respect for confidentiality. Her clients know that they can trust her and that she will always tell them the truth; even if it means losing a potential deal.

Lori’s family has lived in lower Fairfield County for 20+ years. She has two wonderful daughters whom she loves immensely and have also learned much about the school system and area opportunities for kids/families through them. This time has allowed her to appreciate the nuances of the different towns. As a family, they have personally utilized many of the amenities first-hand. Many of her clients continue to use her as a personal resource for years after their closings. She can provide lists of vendors, restaurants, where to shop, nursery schools, local doctors, etc. It is quite typical for her to even provide guided tours to clients who are new to this area. I enjoy this part of her job immensely. She is a member of the National Association of Realtors as well as her local Mid-Fairfield Board of Realtors. She is a recipient of both the Leading Edge and the President's Circle Awards and have consistently been a "Diamond" award winner (highest designation) at Sotheby's. She has been consistently within the top two realtors for dollars in volume sold. She has also been a board member of SEPTA (Special Education PTA) and her town's Gourmet Club.

Lori has organized and headed multiple wine tasting groups in Lower Fairfield County. These groups have provided much socialization and education to the community. She also is a member of several book clubs, leads a Special Needs Mom's Coffee, enjoy working out, socializing but, MOST OF ALL MY WORK AS A REAL ESTATE AGENT.
