Our experience working with Lori McGowan was fantastic. She is professional, thoughtful and communicative. In all facets of the sale she guided us seamlessly through the process. She has great attention to detail and her support staff was on point and readily available. Her insights and experience were invaluable.
Nora Wolf
Both Lori and Chris are great to work with.
Catherine C
Lori and Chris were outstanding. They were there to help every step of the way. The whole process was made easy because of them.
Mark and Joan M
Our experience with Lori McGowan McGowan was 5 stars all the way. From our first conversation through to closing, she was always readily available, knowledgeable, efficient and professional. Lori made a few excellent suggestions to make our home more marketable, was right on with her assessment of its market value, and reassuring every step of the way. She is an excellent agent; smart, detail oriented, but also calm, reassuring and personable. She made a process that can be very stressful as smooth as possible. We are grateful to her for all she did to facilitate the very quick sale of our home. We are so glad that she was recommended to us and we highly recommend her.
It was a pleasure working with Lori as our real estate agent! She did an outstanding job handling the sale of our house as well as assisted us in the purchase of our new home. Lori always had answers to every question and responded promptly. Thank you for all your help and we will definitely be referring you to our family and friends!

Lori helped us buy our house in Charlotte 17 years ago. She just sold it in one day and helped us find a new retirement home. She is very experienced, professional and surrounded by a terrific team. Thank you Lori!

When my husband and I decided to sell our home in Deerfield Creek, we contacted Lori as we had been receiving her monthly home reports about sales activity in the neighborhood. We had confidence that she knew the community and would be able to represent us with lots of experience. We were not disappointed. She advised us on changes we needed to make so that our home would be the most attractive to the most buyers. She had a cadre of professionals (i.e. painters, plumbers, contractors, etc.) to recommend. These professionals provided quality service at reasonable prices. Our house sold in one week. Lori kept us informed every step of the way and never failed to return a text or phone call quickly. She is a lovely, warm, energetic person and she is also a "straight shooter." She will share her honest opinions and provide excellent guidance. We were extremely pleased with her professionalism and expertise.
Lori McGowan was just great to work with . She is very professional and goes the extra miles. Lori made the entire process extremely easy for me and had my house under contract in one month. This was also during the worst time of year. It was December, the holidays and extremely cold. Lori gets a thumbs up from me and highly recommended.
Meg and Randy S.
Lori just sold us our second home in Charlotte. We wouldn't use any other realtor. She is extremely knowledgeable, professional and accommodating. Thanks Lori!
Bob & Nancy D
Lori followed up on our behalf on many, many issues pertaining to the sale of our home. She and her able assistants (Chris & Susan) ensured that issues were worked - and this was particularly required as we had vacated the home in April 2017 and relocated to Boone NC (from Matthews NC)

Lori was great to work with. She was very fair and honest with her opinions which helped to guide our home buying experience; a real trusted advisor. She was very patient with us as well, a tall order when working with my wife and me. We couldn't have been happier with her and her team.

I have worked with Lori McGowan and her team since 2004. She has helped me sell three properties and purchase two. Buying and selling can be stressful, but Lori and her team were always patient when I called with concerns. They lead you through the process, making it easier to bear. Their knowledge and experience making closings s cinch. If you are working with a relocation company, as we just were, Lori is an expert at that, also.
Lori has been a delight to work with and I'd happily recommend her to anyone looking to purchase property in the Charlotte area. We arrive from the UK with no experience of purchasing property in the US and Lori immediately went to work to provide us with all the information and support we required to purchase our home. Her exceptional knowledge, honesty, organization and contacts assisted us in avoiding many of the issues buyers can run into. At each stage of the process Lori kept all parties on track and ensured a smooth, on-time closing. Thank you for your help Lori.
Lori & her team were outstanding. From the beginning to the end, the process was organized, seamless and transparent, all the more important as we were selling a home in Charlotte while residing out of state. Lori knows the local market very well, and provided great insight into the dynamics of selling a home. I would not hesitate to use both Lori & Allen Tate again, to buy or sell a home - thanks again for a great job.
Lori was referred to me by several different people, and now I know why! She is incredibly responsive, thorough, and knowledgable. Lori takes the time to get to know you, which in turn allows her to give you the most helpful guidance in finding your home. She doesn't just focus on what's trending on the housing market, she also advises you on the resale value of your home, what aspects of the homes you view are great for resale value, and those that are not. She is always checking in on you, making sure you have everything you need and all your questions answered. As a first time home buyer, I can honestly say this was one of the easiest processes I've ever been through thanks to Lori! I highly, highly recommend her!
It has been 14 years since I first worked with Lori. She has kept in touch all these years so I was able to reach her immediately when the need arose. She was the 1st & only realtor that I called. Due to her expertise in the housing market, I had showings for the house within 24 hours & an offer within 48 hours. The house has now sold to my complete satisfaction. Lori is a consummate professional. She goes out of her way to make the process as easy & quick as possible. I could not be happier!! Thank you, Lori McGowan!!
Lori is without a doubt the best realtor I have ever worked with. She truly goes above and beyond for each of her clients no matter how big or small their home is. I have worked with a lot of realtors in the area and always recommend Lori to anyone who is looking for a realtor. She is so amazing that my husband uses her exclusively for all his companies relocations.
This was the second time we used Lori to buy/sell our home. This was by far a difficult transaction due to the construction of a new home. Lori was there every step of the way.

We can't say enough great things about Lori. She understood what we needed and navigated us through both the seller and buyer markets. She went out of her way to accomodate us. We've already recommended her to friends.

You don’t have to be a master gardener or even have a green thumb to pull off a beautiful summer planter. There’s no better way to spruce up your porch for summer than to add a pretty planter and fill it with colorful plants and flowers....
