Lori MacRae and Kim Bertling recently sold our house in Ancaster in mere hours! When we started looking for a new property they both worked tirelessly to find something within our price range and to fit all our special needs for our pets. Let me just say it was a huge task. Buying a property can be so stressful but not with Lori and Kim. They never gave up looking to find us just the right house and they did it and more! Buying or selling these ladies have got you covered.

This is not the first time we have bought and sold, actually it is our 4th time. Lori sold our house for substantially over asking price in just one viewing. Literally our house was on the market for mere hours. Little did we know just how hard it would be to find
a house to buy. We had a firm budget and a ton of non-negotiable requirements for a new house. It literally seemed impossible. Lori really understood what we needed and did not hesitate to tell us how the house we were viewing met or did not meet our requirements. Even when we started to feel we better "settle" she would tell us to hold on and that our house was waiting for
us. I am not sure when Lori sleeps as it seemed she was helping us find a home 24 hours a day. Lori found us the PERFECT home that fell right in our budget, met all our needs and all our pets needs. She even had the idea to to include a little personal note with our offer saying how much we would cherish our chosen house. I think it went a long way into helping us secure the house. The
sellers market is so hot right now that you need that extra push to really stand out in a sea of offers. I think it is worth mentioning that have a friend on the West Coast who is a Realtor and I asked her to help me find one here who would be a "good fit" for our family. She phoned five or six Realtors and after her conversation with Lori she called me and said "I think Lori MacRae is a perfect
REALTOR for you". I would not hesitate to tell anyone to use Lori. Hands down she is the best Realtor we have ever used. The very best part is her follow up. Just because we found our house our relationship is not over. She regularly checks in to see how we are doing and even offered to help with our garage sale. Thanks again for everything Lori!

An absolutely wonderful experience, we could not be happier! We engaged Lori MacRae's services for the purchase of our new home earlier this year and the sale of our existing property. We actually bought before putting our existing property on the market and Lori made a potentially stressful transaction into a wonderful experience. Lori's energetic and enthusiastic approach put us at ease every step of the process. She was full of amazing suggestions and delightful ideas that made both the purchase and the sale a pleasure. Her attention to detail on matters of both the home and the contractual process let us know we were in the right hands. She did a superb job marketing the property and Lori's inter-personal skills, with the other realtors, was just another advantage. Allyson and I could not offer enough praise and appreciation for her efforts with us, and highly recommend our REALTOR Lori MacRae. Sincerely, The Dodges.

Lori is the epitome of everything you could want in a real estate agent. She is knowledgeable, professional and so well organized. In this very demanding market, Lori was able to find me exactly the property that I wanted and walk me through all the ins and outs of purchasing a condo. There was an ease about the way Lori managed situations with a warm, enthusiastic and energetic approach. She explained any issues with complete clarity and ensured that I was not signing anything I didn't understand. I could tell from our first interactions that she was someone who truly loves what she does and she handled all my questions and concerns in such a positive and proactive manner. I could call her anytime and she responded with professionalism and understanding. I highly recommend REALTOR LoriMacRae and found her to be an absolute pleasure to work with.

If you need a Realtor - look no further. Lori MacRae is the agent for you. Lori was our Realtor selling our home and we couldn't be more thrilled to have her take us through this journey. Right from the start, Lori did her research to make sure our listing was where it should be. We put our faith in Lori, as she is very professional, honest, articulate, caring and always went above and beyond in looking after us. Lori made this journey easy and actually fun. Lori has a way with words (this may be the teacher in her) and she created a wonderful description of our home. Lori was very accommodating and kept us up to date on any changes. It was so great to have Lori as our Realtor. First and foremost - getting and TRUSTING a Realtor is a major decision. She is truly there for her clients and wants the BEST for them. Lori was very detail oriented when papers had to be signed, explaining every step of the way to us. We were so THANKFUL and GRATEFUL, as we knew we were in good hands. We can't thank Lori enough for helping us through this next chapter in our lives. Do yourself a favour, call LORI MACRAE-SHE DOES NOT DISAPPOINT!!"

I am so grateful that Lori could help purchase not only our first home, but one that ended up being more than we ever could have imagined! With the current state of the housing market, we were prepared for the process of looking for and buying a house to be overwhelming, stressful and disheartening. After watching many of our friends undergo a long, discouraging and unsuccessful house hunting journey, we assumed that it would be the same for us. On the contrary, we had such a positive experience working with Lori. She always made us feel heard and respected. Lori is so genuine, positive and encouraging. Her prompt responsiveness and proficiency gave us confidence that we were in good hands, and gave us hope that we would eventually find the right place for us. And we did! We got such an amazing house that we both absolutely love, at a price that we are very happy with. You're in good hands with Lori, it is clear to see that she really has your best interest in mind.

Wow, what an incredible journey it has been buying our new home and selling our old home with Lori! From the very begining, Lori has shown her support and unwavering commitment to our family to get us the best possible home! Her listening skills are
unparalleled, and her attention to detail unmatched! Lori is always available to lend an ear, and especially a hand. Through the countless visits, phone calls, texts and emails, you can be certain of the care that Lori has towards her clients. She is sincere, resourceful, she is not afraid to ask the hard questions, and her excellent communication skills mean that she is a great negotiator. What we value most about Lori is that she always put us, her clients, first. Her warm, honest and kind personality made us feel comfortable through the buying and selling process. We truly appreciate everything she has done for us and will never hesitate to recommend her real estate services to friends and family. You could be so lucky to have Lori represent you in the selling or
buying of your home! (Abid and Dorina Husain- Happy forever clients:)

Lori MacRae and Roz Niewland recently worked together and helped us sell our Mother's home in Westdale after her passing. Lori was professional, profoundly organized sincere and helpful throughout the overwhelming process of preparing the
house for sale and listing. The house sold quickly, over asking and Lori and Roz guided us through the process. Lori's warmth and kindness made a difficult task more manageable. Her availability to field questions, settle anxieties, explain processes was constant. Her honest direct manner and genuine care of us as her clients was so appreciated. We would highly recommend Lori
MacRae to anyone who is looking to buy or sell a home.

A+++ Lori is an outstanding Real Estate Agent! My husband was introduced to Lori when my sister and brother-in-law were looking to buy a new house. Shortly after, we decided to look for a new house with more land and there was no question about who
we would like to work with. Lori is friendly, "punny", super organized and her attention to detail is impeccable. Every time we found a house that we wanted to see Lori was quick to schedule us a viewing. When we found the perfect house, Lori quickly presented our offer. After our offer was accepted, Lori worked hard to help us get our current house on the market. Lori has a great eye for detail and helped us figure out what we needed to get done in our house to get it sold. She worked her butt off hosting open houses every weekend all summer until it sold. Thank you so much for everything you did to get us into our dream house Lori! There aren't enough words to describe how grateful we are for your help and care. We've been in our new house a few months now and Lori continues to check in to see how we're doing. We truly are so fortunate to have met you (and Jeff too!).

Words cannot truly express how grateful we are to have had Lori's expertise and positive demeanour during the sale of our beloved home. She walked us through every stage of the process, ensuring we clearly understood what each step was. Her paperwork was meticulously created to ensure there was no opportunity for error or misunderstanding. Her response times were incredible! We knew and felt that this was not a job for Lori but a passion. Her positivity and encouragement helped us stay focused, even through the most stressful of times. Lori thank you for being our guiding light through this transition. You truly are the best in the business!!

Working with Lori and Kim in order to sell my family home and to purchase a condo, has been a distinct pleasure. After close to sixty years in my home, it was time to leave and to downsize. The monumental task of decluttering and preparing the home for the Open Houses and viewings was made easier by the positive ‘can do’ approach by both agents. I appreciated the fact that they were empathetic to my sentimentality, yet reassuring and honest in suggesting what needed to be accomplished.
The end results were spectacular. The home showed beautifully on line and drew great comments from its viewers. I was impressed! Kim and Lori spared no effort in showcasing the home’s beauty and the possibilities for comfortable living.
The second phase…moving to a new home was a seamless process. Through the prearranged visits I did find a lovely condo. It was the place where I felt that I could settle.
Throughout, I appreciated the fact that Lori and Kim were extremely knowledgeable about real estate and about the professionals who could help to bring my family home up to marketable potential. They are to be highly commended! Selling or buying, both agents/representatives are the best team possible. You would do well in availing yourself of their expertise.

Our house hunting experience could only be described as a whirlwind of a journey; however, we will be eternally grateful that Lori MacRae led the way and navigated us to finding our forever home! As first-time home buyers the idea of purchasing a house was beyond daunting. A part of that was also due to our somewhat negative sentiments about realtors being out to make quick money by selling us any house that came along. Lori not only shattered those perceptions, but at times it felt like she knew what we were looking for in a house better than we did. Many people told us that we shouldn't look for our forever home and that it was better to get a starter house. But Lori was passionate about our future and wouldn't let us settle for anything less than what we dreamed of! We used to apologize constantly "for being picky" and for not "loving" a house even when it checked most of the boxes. We often felt like we were wasting her time, but Lori was always reassuring, positive, and supportive of our aspirations. She cares so much and was incredibly patient with us the entire time. With Lori we knew we were not just another number. After 104 showings, many open houses and hours on end of conversations, we are excited to say that Lori secured our forever home! She was always beyond flexible with our schedules and was never more than a phone call away. When purchasing our house, Lori walked us through every step and made the process very easy! We house hunted together for 11 months, but our journey with Lori is not over. She will be our friend forever. Merci pour tout, nous t'aimons!

We recently had the pleasure of working with Lori and Kim during the sale of our home on Brays Lane in Oakville. We live in Vancouver, and with the long distance involved we anticipated having a stressful experience, but our actual experience was the exact opposite! Thanks to Lori and Kim’s professionalism, knowledge and personal commitment, a quick sale of the house at a price that met our expectation was the result. Any bumps in the road along the way were promptly communicated to us with honesty and resolved very quickly to our mutual satisfaction. We could not have asked for two more wonderful real estate professionals, and also importantly two wonderful people to help us through this experience. We highly recommend the incredible team of Lori and Kim, if you are considering selling your home.

My name is Somayeh and I am a newcomer to Canada. My husband, daughter and I arrived on August 5th from Iran. I had reached out to Lori via Linkedin in April and asked if she could help our family lease a house. Help is an understatement. She showed us numerous houses until we found one that ticked all of the boxes- an upper level of a house with a yard where our daughter can play and in a family friendly neighbourhood with good schools nearby. It is not easy finding a place as newcomers but Lori helped us every step of the way and she is still helping us even though we found the house over four months ago. She is patient, knowledgeable, dedicated, organized and has wonderful communication skills. We would strongly recommend that you give Lori a call for all of your real estate needs!

We had the pleasure of having Lori MacRae represent us in selling our West Hamilton home. From the very first meeting, Lori was always very positive and sincere in how she worked with us. Through the process, she was very attentive in addressing any
questions or concerns that we had and you could see she genuinely prioritizes her client's best interests. What impressed me the most was the fact that Lori would go at our pace in terms of how and when we wanted to list the house, but at the same she would educate us through the process using a fact based approach showing us the necessary comps and data points that allowed us to make an informed decision on how best to list our home for sale. This listing strategy worked out very well for us, as we had received multiple offers on our home. Even in this instance, I could see Lori work the phones with the different agents to get us the best price possible that was above our own expectations. For those of you looking for a sincere and pleasant agent that will
work in your best interest, I highly recommend giving Lori a call.
