Lori was amazing, as always! Super helpful and responsive and got us closed fast!
We had a wonderful experience with Lori Goto, who was our agent on both the selling and buying side. Lori's many years of experience showed in her ability to answer all of our questions fully (important to us, because this is the first house we've sold in the state of Texas, and real estate transactions are a bit different in Minnesota, where we're from). She has exceptional attention to detail and knowledge of things that we have had no experience with, like the septic system that came with our...
Lori was absolutely amazing through this whole process. She was super patient with us as we switched neighborhoods and price points mid-search and uber-efficient lining things up before we even had a chance to ask for them. Lori was always willing to hop on a call to talk through any questions or concerns we had and very helpful with tips, recommendations, and relevant market data. And all around a pleasure to work with!
Lori Goto is a very good Realtor! Lori is very knowledgeable in her craft, always greets us with the biggest smile, always on the ball, very professional, and very honest. She goes out of her way to find the answers we're looking for. We want to thank her for all her hard work for helping us find our new home.
Lori is FANTASTIC! She provided indispensable guidance for pricing and negotiation in the midst of uncertain times with the pandemic. Lori's photographer was amazing, and she created very professional and beautiful marketing tools. We moved across the country before our house was sold, and she brought us very sweet parting gifts before we left. Lori checked on our house multiple times per week after we left and kept us updated, which gave us peace of mind. She was also able to coordinate with an...
We had a great experience with Lori Goto at Realty Austin! We started working with her about two years before we could finally \make the move\" to Lakeway. Lori was always there for us. She was knowledgeable, diligent, patient, experienced and responsive to any and all questions. We searched in excess of 45 homes. Lori's gentle nature and sense of humor were delightful to work with! I would highly recommend Lori and the Realty Austin team! "
Lori Goto helped me buy a house in 2011 and then helped me to sell it late last year when I needed to make a move for work. Lori is an awesome agent! She kept in contact frequently, gave me great feedback from showings, and worked with me to get the price I was hoping for. I highly recommend her.
Lori Goto with Realty Austin is the best agent I have ever worked with. She knows the market very well. I have listed and purchased several homes over the years. Lori is simply a go-getter and makes time for me whenever I need her or have questions about the process. I highly recommend Lori!
She was the best!! I will use her again and refer her to anyone that I know looking in this market.
My wife and I are extremely happy with the level of service and professionalism provided by Lori. We blindsided her with a last-minute listing, and she worked diligently, even on vacation, and had other people tending to our needs to get things ready. Without a doubt, I would recommend Lori to anyone moving to or from Austin.
Lori has been nothing short of amazing! My husband and I have been so appreciative of everything she has done for us the past few months. As first time home buyers, this process can be very daunting, scary, and overwhelming. Lori has done an incredible job of guiding us during this journey by making sure we were well informed and comfortable from start to finish. She has truly gone above and beyond for us, and we can’t thank her enough. Her responsiveness, great attitude, and true concern for ...
Lori Goto was our Realtor, and we had an awesome time working with her besides being our friend and from Hawaii. She found us a model home with a home builder at the Heritage at Vizcaya, and we fell in love with it and had Taylor Morrison build it for us. Lori always check up on us to see how the building was progressing. She is very professional and caring. We would recommend Lori to anyone looking for a Realtor. Awesome job Lori.
I enjoyed working with Lori. I am very thankful for her help and exceptional service provided to me as well as my daughter. I will definitely refer her to friends and family.
I could not say enough good things about how Lori got our house sold in some very difficult circumstances. She is personable, professional, and was available 24/7. Having her experience on our side took us over the finish line.
This is our fourth transaction with Lori as our agent, the first one being in 2013. As usual, her service was excellent. We are disappointed that, should we need an agent in the future, we cannot call on Lori, since we have moved to a different state entirely. We would recommend Lori’s warm and professional expertise to anyone needing real estate services.
Lori was fantastic. She went above and beyond and made the home search an easy process. We currently live in Chicago, so we presented some extra work for Lori. She was always responsive and helpful. For example, I reached out to her to solicit help at 10:00 pm the night before I was scheduled for a flight to look at some homes. She called me and was able to show me around in less than 12-hour notice. We didn't find anything in person, but a few weeks later, we found some houses online in Buda. W...
Lori Goto was wonderful! Friendly, helpful, everything we'd want in an agent and more. We felt like she was on our side solidly through the whole thing, taking care of stuff we needed that was unusual because of our overseas move. She kept us informed and was really there for us. We'd absolutely recommend her to anyone in the area.
Lori was great throughout the sale of my 1st home and purchase of my 2nd home years later. She made the process run smooth, stress-free and continues to be available. Lori is very responsive no matter what time, day or night. She is definitely my Realtor for life.
