Lori was more than terrific throughout our home sale process. The transaction from start to finish was seamless. She had a strong grasp of the housing market as well as great advice in marketing our home.

Lori has experience in real estate, construction and as a title agent, which means she can expertly address any transaction from all angles. In addition, her longevity in the area gives her inside knowledge of the Northern Virginia market. Lori has an amazing ability to be kind and firm simultaneously, giving her negotiation skill that is unsurpassed. We count ourselves both lucky and blessed to have met Lori Shafran and can recommend her to any and all. To elaborate: Lori navigated a sale with a buyer that flaked out and subsequent buyer whose needs were complicated, and whose agent was aggressive and rude. Under the circumstances that we were dealt, our house would not have sold without Lori on our team.

Lori was a fantastic agent as we worked to find our first home. She was very knowledgable about the area, extremely communicative and thorough in our conversations, and always took the time to walk us through the process and important considerations when selecting a home. We truly felt she was a partner for us and, when it came down to the negotiation period, she was an advocate for us and always had our best interests in mind. It was a true pleasure working with Lori and we couldn't recommend her highly enough.

Lori is a dream to work with! She is very professional, super knowledgeable about the area and entire home buying/selling process from end to end. She made very reasonable suggestions regarding small changes to our current home that should be made before putting it on the market (and in a very sensitive way, understanding it was our family home that we loved!). She did a lot of research to determine the best listing price for our home as well as best process to deal with several offers. We sold our home for way above asking!We were also very impressed by how Lori advised us through the negotiation process in buying our new home as well. She is a total pro and we would recommend her to any client- from first time home buyers to those more experienced in the home buying/selling process.

I worked with Lori in purchasing my first home. Her knowledge of the market is extensive, and she made me feel like I was her most important client. She also guided me through the process with patience, diligence, and care, something I highly valued as a first-time buyer. If you are looking to buy or sell a home in VA, I cannot recommend her enough!

After a very unfortunate experience with our first listing agent, we were so grateful to have found Lori. She came highly recommended to us by friends that had hired her to sell their home, which she sold within 3 weeks. She was a breath of fresh air in contrast to our previous experience. When we first met with Lori, she was well prepared with a proposed strategy and marketing plan to get our home sold quickly. She offered reasonable suggestions as to what we should do to the home before re-listing (staging, etc). We immediately felt comfortable with her as she brought a sense of calmness to what can be an otherwise overwhelming process. We are very particular about our home and our main concern was keeping the house secured as we had already moved out of the home. Lori was incredibly respectful of our needs and always cognizant of making sure our house was properly secured. Throughout the process, Lori kept us informed and was always available when we contacted her. Within two weeks, we received an offer. From contract to closing, the process was flawless due to Lori’s high level of detail and competency. Our extended gratitude to Lori for making this a pleasant experience. We would absolutely recommend her! Jack and Debbie Ballinghoff

I recently sold my Great Falls home of 25 years with Lori as the listing agent. Lori's extensive expertise guided me every step of the way. Lori listened attentively to my concerns and addressed each one with thoughtful suggestions. Lori never pressured me on any decisions, but always offered candid and honest opinions to help me make an informed decision. Lori was great at keeping in touch throughout the entire process. When it was down to two offers, she presented both in such a clear and concise manner that I knew immediately which offer I would accept. Lori's support went above and beyond just staging and selling my home. She connected me with an excellent moving firm and even pointed me in the right direction for my current residence. I highly recommend Lori as someone who is not only knowledgeable and experienced, but also a lovely person to work with.

Interviewing realtors right when the quarantine lock down started in April , made things challenging. Lori came prepared with a detailed plan taking into account the limitations the virus was putting on home sellers. There was no doubt which realtor to go with based on her organizational skills and suggestions on how to approach selling our luxury home in this challenging time. Lori's resources for helping to get our home on the market quickly and economically were excellent. Service providers were top notch yet reasonable on our checkbook. If I had any issues or questions, I quickly had an answer or even an in person visit ( of course with a mask) . We sold our home in 4 days for full list price, in the middle of a pandemic with wild stock market fluctuations. Her attention to detail, even after the signing has been excellent. Needless to say, we would recommend Lori Shafran!

Lori was a pleasure to work with. She was a good listener and a calming influence. One area that I was most impressed with was her ability to arrange various contractors to prepare the property for listing. Even during the pandemic. The sales process went smoothly and closure was seamless. Thank you Lori.
