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 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 Goto was highly recommended by a coworker, and she didn't disappoint! We were immediately contacted by Lori, and she got our budget, what kind of home we were searching for, and we were emailed a good list of homes to go through. We picked some out, and that weekend went to go look. She was completely honest about what she thought, what she didn't like (if it was overpriced, not good quality, etc.) and helped us decide. She picked one out that wasn't on our list, and as soon as we walked in...
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 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!
We have used Lori to buy and sell several properties. She has great skills and is able to tell us a good buy from avoiding risky purchases. She has extremely insightful details to share with you on properties. Lori is always upbeat, always smiling, and definitely knows how to do her job as a Realtor. The best quality about Lori is that you can trust her to make the best deal for you! I highly, truly recommend Lori, she won't steer you wrong! Thank you, Lori, for handling everything so profession...
I really enjoyed working with Lori! She went beyond my expectations, promptly responded to my emails, and kept me on the loop. She is very friendly and easy to work with. She really helped me a lot with this transaction. I recommend her to my family and friends, and I know she will take care of them the same way she took care of me. Lori was very patient with me and responded to every question I had. Thank you, Lori! I really appreciate everything you did for us to get the property I really want...
Lori was Spectacular! She has went above ad beyond to help us in every way to get our house sold for the price we wanted. We could not recommend her enough. We recommended her to a neighbor, and she will be selling their house soon!
Lori was absolutely amazing, and I would recommend her to anyone in the Austin area that is looking for a Realtor. She went above and beyond when I had already moved to Midland, TX, and helped get our house completely ready to sell. She is spectacular and pays such great attention to detail. She sold our house in a very timely fashion (despite there being houses in our neighborhood that had been on the market much longer than ours). I would use her again in a heartbeat and would gladly recommend...
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 made selling our current home and buying our dream home not only a reality but a smooth and easy process! The marketing she did for selling our home was awesome. We followed the steps she provided for getting top dollar for our house and got four offers in 11 days-one for asking price and one over asking price! If you should encounter any hiccups in selling your home, Lori is the perfect person to have to work for you. She will make sure everything is resolved with minimal stress to you. We...
Lori Goto provided exceptional guidance and support throughout the purchase of our house in Round Rock. Lori was a personal friend long before she became a real estate agent. Lori has previously helped both of our daughters purchase homes in Austin. We have bought only one house in the past, in Houston in 1977; we were aware that the house purchase process might have undergone changes over the past 40 years, but we did not know exactly how the process had changed. We quickly learned that the hou...
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.
Lori Goto was my Realtor for buying a home in 2011, and again for selling that house just this month. Lori was awesome to work with both times, very patient with all my questions and concerns while having an answer for me each time to set my mind at rest. I would definitely recommend her to any buyers or sellers!
We have been working with Lori Goto of Realty Austin for years and cannot recommend her more highly. She helped sell my condo several years ago and was successful in selling ours before any of the other ones that were listed at the time in that community. More recently she helped us find our first investment property, which we just closed on this week. In both cases Lori was professional, promptly answered questions by phone and email, and was a pleasure to work with. I will be using Lori in all...
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...
Lori was amazing, as always! Super helpful and responsive and got us closed fast!
