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...
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 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 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 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!
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 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...
I'm a first-time homeowner, and like many people I knew nothing or even where to start, a friend of mine recommended Lori with Realty Austin and am glad I went with her. She was very informative and explained the steps of buying a house, it sounded complicated, but then it's expected as you're making a big purchase. However, Lori was helpful at every step and kept following up and in good communication all the time even when we look at several houses, and I almost gave up finding something that ...
Lori Goto was our realtor and she was amazing! It was our first house buying experience and she honestly walked us through everything and worked with us until we chose the perfect house. We were a little nervous that she wouldn't want to work with us after we lowered our price range, but she was completely understanding and had more houses ready to show us within a day. Jessica and I couldn't thank her enough for how well she treated us and actually cared about our home buying experience. She wo...
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!
Lori was amazing, as always! Super helpful and responsive and got us closed fast!
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!
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...
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...
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 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.
She was the best!! I will use her again and refer her to anyone that I know looking in this market.
Lori provided awesome service throughout the sale of my home. She went above and beyond the call of duty to help me with things and was always available to answer my questions and explain paperwork. Lori's pleasant personality helped me through stressful times. She even sent information for possible homes for me in San Antonio! She and her husband offered to help me pack some things, found boxes, and brought them to my house. Lori exhibited the utmost professionalism. She is an outstanding Realt...
