About Loray
You should expect more from your real estate professional. Loray creates a memorable, personalized real estate experience for her Buyers and Sellers by putting their needs first. Few life experiences resemble an emotional “roller-coaster ride” more than navigating through a real estate transaction. Her job is to remove the fear, guide you on your journey and add some fun to the process!

Loray's promise to you: Being prepared.  Committed to excellence and change.  Clear communication.  Active listener.  Attentive to details.  Skilled negotiator.  Honest and fair decision maker.  Lifelong learner. Over 90% of her business comes from repeat clients and trusted referrals.  She is genuinely grateful and humble to serve her “clients for life” for 25 years.
