Carrolyn | Seller

We first met Lori at an open house she was holding. We told Lori what we were looking for and what our price point was. Every day thereafter we would receive updates from Lori advising us of listings (including pictures) of homes that met our criteria. Needless to say we were VERY impressed. We decided to list our home with Lori and immediately had seven showings including one which brought us an offer which was over our asking price!! Lori was always eager to address any concerns we had in a timely manner. The whole process of selling our home went very smoothly and quickly and we were able to move on with our lives. We were certainly blessed to have found Lori. In addition to being a real professional, she is a lovely person. Many thanks, Lori!!

Bill | Buyer

Lori Turkovics is a wife, mother and, the consummate realtor. From the minute we meet her we realized we had met someone special. Almost immediately she ascertained our needs and desires. She asks enough about financials to tell us where our needs and desires meet. Purchasing a brick and mortar in Florida was scary as Florida better than 1000 miles away from where we reside and Time wise it had been almost 50 years since we acquired a home. This requisition was going to be a leap of faith for both my wife, Sona and I. Given the fact that neither my wife nor I are tech savvy. Lori patiently helped us traverse the Internet as it pertained to our Florida land purchase. All we had to do was call and Lori was there to help. Several days after our initial meeting Sona and I completely screwed up a necessary form on our computer. At 8 o’clock at night I called Lori. She showed up; 20 minutes later we were up and running. This angel dropped everything she was doing to come to help us. Lori was the conductor she orchestrated all parties provided them with directions and follow up with calls to make sure that the process was being followed and that all parties were on track. Lori knew what was going to happen as well as when it was to happen. She had everything outlined like a chess player. She had contingency plans if needed. In short, we retained the service of the best real estate agent in Florida .We came away with a great piece of property and a new friend.

Star | Buyer & Seller

We were introduced to Lori at the beginning of the pandemic through an online inquiry for a property that we ultimately purchased. She was extremely helpful and even did a video walk-through with us within an hour after our initial contact. She has continued to help us navigate through two more property transactions. She is knowledgeable, organized, and readily available to us for whatever we need. She is a true professional and we can’t recommend her services highly enough.

Elizabeth | Seller

It was refreshing to work with the realtor that was so honest, dedicated, and willing to jump right in and save us! If you're looking for the ultimate professional, I highly recommend Lori Turkovics! She actually sold our house twice in one day!

Cheri | Seller & Buyer

Lori has sold property for myself, my daughter and my friend and she always gives 110%. She is on top of everything that can occur during a property sale and solves any issues that may arise. . Her integrity as a realty professional is what I experienced with every property. She would always be my choice of someone who knows her profession and excels at it.

Michael | Seller

Lori was a pleasure to work with in selling my mom’s house through an estate situation. Very communicative and aggressive in find me cash buyers at a top price. I would highly recommend her.

Cheryl | Seller

I highly recommend Lori for your next real estate transaction, whether you are a buyer or a seller, Lori has been my agent for two transactions. Because I was a long-distance seller on my most recent real estate transaction, I feel that Lori went above and beyond being helpful. She is very energetic, communicates well with other realtors, has great marketing skills, and always follows up on everything. You will not be disappointed when you hire Lori. She is a real professional, a nice person to work with and not afraid to put forth extra effort when it's needed to get the sale done.

Susan | Seller

“As acting trustee for an elderly client, it was very important for us to select a real estate professional who would have the experience necessary to handle the more complicated sale of trust property. Lori’s intelligent and thoughtful communication and negotiation skills were exactly what we needed. Lori went above and beyond helping to prepare the property for sale. She took the time to thoroughly evaluate what pre-listing work should be considered to present the property in the most appealing manner. Even more impressive was the fact that once the decision was made on how to best proceed, she personally helped to coordinate with outside cleaning, painting, repair and staging companies. I honestly believe that this “above and beyond” preparation added thousands of dollars to our trust client’s sales proceeds. These extra funds were meaningful as they will help our client continue to have the care she requires. I would not hesitate to recommend Lori to other professionals, family members or friends who need professional real estate services, or to be a reference for her services at any time in the future.”

“Lori did an amazing job selling my mom’s FL home! Lori replaced another realtor who provided limited and often contradictory information.......From the first conversation it was obvious Lori was night and day much more responsive, professional, and knowledgeable of the market. Incredible responsiveness to our questions. Frequent updates. Received multiple offers above asking price in first week! Very willing to go the extra mile to get the job done.

Susan | Seller & Buyer

“We recently had the pleasure of working with Lori Turkovics on the sale of our family home in Sarasota County. We were very pleased with the professional manner in which Lori handled our listing and would not hesitate to recommend her to our own family, friends or others. Lori was assertive, proactive and creative in her marketing efforts and promotion of our property and very responsive to us on any questions that arose during the process. Our property was a prime, waterfront listing, with unique features and was very appropriately positioned in key social, digital and print media forums. Thank you, Lori, for a job very well done!”

Debi | Seller

“Lori is a fabulous realtor. She addressed all our questions honestly. She kept us informed every step of the way. She helped us make our house presentable for listing. She advertised through social media. Many of my friends and neighbors saw our home on social media and contacted me about how wonderful it looked and the features it stated. She sold our home in three days and she worked a lot to get people to see how special our home is. She is a true asset to Premier Sotheby’s International Realty. Want your house sold and want to work with someone who is professional, honest, friendly and caring? Call Lori.”

Malinda | Seller & Buyer

I can't say enough good things about Lori. We were selling the house we grew up in and many wonderful memories. It was important to us to have someone who understood and respected the emotional attachment and our desire to find a buyer who would love it as much as we did. She did. Lori was tenacious in looking out for our best interests and insulated us from the day-to-day challenges that were encountered. When an issue arose and she needed to call, she always had a game plan. That being said, she also asked for our opinion and never pushed us to do anything we did not want to do just to get a quick sell and her commission. On this house she earned it. If you are looking for someone to help you buy or sell a property, I could not recommend anyone better. She is professional, hardworking, and a pleasure to work with. She will always be my go-to.

Claire | Seller & Buyer

I had never sold or bought a property before, but Lori guided me through the whole process. She's very friendly and knew how to market my home.

The whole experience was easier than I expected- I would definitely give her a thumbs-up!

I will highly recommend Lori. It was our first-time buying Bank own property in Florida. Lori's expertise, professionalism and attention to details made the buying experience easy even when there were issues with selling Bank. She created addendum to our contract to allow us to cancel contract without losing an earnest money if bank does not fix house issues. Lori kept us informed on all of activities of the process. Since we live in different state, she communicated with us regularly on the status of the purchase.

She became a friend as well as my agent. I highly recommend her.

Connie | Buyer

We met Lori at an open house. She was very personable. She feels like a friend. We decided to purchase the home, and she was very helpful in negotiating the price and some furniture purchases. She kept in constant contact with us, updating us every step of the way. She told us up front that she felt any inquiry deserved an immediate response, and she was as good as her word. No phone call or email went more than 1/2 hour without a response, and when a glitch arose, she was on it immediately and got it straightened out. She was in constant contact with our financer, the closing attorneys, the seller and even our insurance company. She was the ultimate professional, while making us feel like friends and special clients. To say Lori is a ball of fire is to under-describe her. She knows how to get the job done and is willing to go as far as she need to to serve her clients. I have already recommended her to friends and on the Venice Florida Friendly People Facebook page.

I highly recommend Lori.

We met Lori while viewing an open house in Nokomis. We found her to be friendly, knowledgeable, intelligent and enthusiastic. When we decided to sell, she arrived at our home prepared to discuss the particulars and familiarize herself with our property and our expectations. Once hired, she remained in close contact, was always professional, encouraged questions and listened to all of our concerns. We highly recommend Lori for all of the above stated reasons.

Lori did a amazing job! We couldn't have asked for a better representative in the sale of our home! Lori was very informed on the current real estate market and worked diligently on preparing for listing our place.
