She works and lives in the Tri-Valley area


It cannot be overstated just how helpful and important it is for your chosen real estate agent to be closely familiar with the area in which they specialize. When an agent lives and works in the area, you know that they have established working relationships with various vendors or contractors and can help your real estate transaction go much more smoothly. A local agent has her finger on the pulse of what the local market is doing and will assist both her sellers and buyers in getting the best deal possible. Lori has been a resident of Dublin, California, since 2008, and she splits her time between her office in Dublin and her office on Main Street in Pleasanton.

This many years of local expertise are hard to come by in a real estate professional, but you can rest assured you have found it in Lori.

She holds continuing education and certifications

She’s an expert at determining your listing price


One of the hardest decisions homeowners have to make is at what price they should list their property. There is a lot that goes into determining your home’s sell price. If you go at it alone, you may be inclined to base your list price on emotions. It’s your home, after all, and you want the best price for it. However, much more than emotion goes into getting to the bottom of what your home can actually sell for. When the local market doesn’t support your home, overpricing is the number one pitfall sellers often face. Your home may languish on the market, and you could be passing up on legitimate offers.
 
When you have a Realtor such as Lori Olson on your team, she can draw on her years of experience in home valuation to walk you through the process of determining your list price. A real estate professional has access to tools and up-to-date information regarding your local market through performing comparative market analysis, and with the use of other data points, can help you reach a reasonable listing price to sell your home fast.

She’s a pro at marketing your home



Having a great home that no one knows exists won’t help you sell it or fetch top dollar. Although you can try to sell your home yourself, nothing beats the marketing prowess of a Realtor on your team. Lori will develop a solid marketing plan that is tailored specifically for your home and designed to get the property in front of qualified buyers ready to make an offer. Marketing your property to the public is only one part of the equation. Having access to the Multiple Listing Service (MLS) will put your home on the radar of other real estate agents who may be representing buyers in search of a home. Lori specializes in the Pleasanton, Tri-Valley, and Alameda County markets and knows how, when, or where to advertise for your property to attract the best offers. She has a property-specific website for each address with virtual tours, four-color professional photography, videography with aerial drone tours of the neighborhood as well as her personal video touring buyers through your home. All of these marketing materials are pushed out through print, social media as well as targeted google ads right to where she knows the buyers are coming from. Lori is an expert at marketing your home to the widest audience possible.

No amount of Google searches and internet sleuthing can replace the years of experience and expertise you get when you choose to go with a real estate professional to help you sell your home. Lori Olson is available for you when you have questions about the various processes involved, need help with deciding which repairs are worth making and which you can forgo, or when you just need to know you have someone on your side negotiating for you. Selling your home is one of the largest financial transactions you will likely make. You deserve a reputable, experienced Realtor who is looking out for you.

She’ll handle the details
