Meet Lori

L.D.

CA DRE# 01370723

A Bay Area native, Lori spent a decade soaking up city life in San Francisco’s vibrant Marina District before moving to Marin County with her family in 2005. That dual perspective, with one foot in the city and one in Marin County, gives her rare insight into the markets, neighborhoods, and lifestyles of both.

Lori made the move when her kids were toddlers, and she has recently launched them into adulthood. Having lived every stage in between, she has a sweet spot working with young families, helping them navigate schools, find local resources, and choose the neighborhood that fits their next chapter.

After a successful run at Pacific Union Real Estate, Lori was personally recruited by Compass founder Robert Reffkin to help launch the company’s inaugural San Francisco and Marin offices. Her focus is simple: delivering real returns, whether you’re buying your next home or trusting her to sell your current one. Clients regularly describe her as transparent, trustworthy, resourceful, and proactive. They also count on her for creative strategy and fierce advocacy.

Lori knows that no one strategy fits all. She draws on her marketing background and the full resources of Compass to tailor a marketing program to each property and each client’s needs.

Before real estate, Lori spent 15 years in executive-level marketing. She founded a sports and entertainment marketing firm in Los Angeles and held key roles at Visa USA, the San Jose Sharks, and a number of Bay Area tech startups. That experience shapes how she positions, promotes, and sells her clients’ homes.

When she’s not working, you’ll find Lori traveling, photographing, hiking, or wine tasting in wine country.
