Lori Maruska

Hi, I’m Lori Maruska — and I believe home is the backdrop to your entire life.

It’s where babies take their first steps, where late-night conversations happen at the kitchen table, where holidays feel like magic, and where healing and new beginnings unfold quietly behind closed doors. Real estate isn’t just about property to me — it’s about people and the seasons they’re walking through.

As a broker with Better Properties Grays Harbor, I serve clients throughout Montesano, Aberdeen, Hoquiam, Elma, Ocean Shores, and the surrounding communities I’m proud to call home. I know this market deeply — from pricing strategy and negotiation to the fine details of contracts — and I guide my clients with steady confidence from listing to closing.

But long before real estate, I spent years as a hairstylist and probaly always will be.

Behind the chair, I learned the true art of listening. Clients trusted me with their stories — weddings, divorces, career moves, new babies, loss, fresh starts. I learned that details matter. That how people feel matters. That trust is earned, not assumed.

That foundation shaped the way I do business today.

When you work with me, you’ll get thoughtful preparation, strong negotiation, and proactive communication — but you’ll also get someone who genuinely cares about your outcome and your peace of mind.

I’m a proud wife to a hardworking crane operator and a busy sports mom to two incredible boys. My life is rooted in this community — on the ball fields, at local businesses, in neighborhoods just like yours. I understand how important it is to feel secure, confident, and excited about where you land next.

Whether you’re buying your first home, preparing to sell, navigating a family transition, or investing for the future, I’m here to make the process feel steady and supported.

Because this isn’t just real estate.

It’s your life.

And I would be honored to be part of the journey.

Home Starts Here.
