"Lory has listed and sold homes in our subdivision and was very up to date on the current market here. She took care of everything and was present for everything too, from pictures to showings. Our home sold very quickly and everything went smoothly without any hiccups. I believe that was due to Lory's professionalism and knowledge of today's market. I highly recommend Lory."

★★★★★
"Lory is a fabulous agent! We met her over a year ago, as she quickly sold a neighbor's house. She thoroughly presented options to us then and was patient as we waited for the right downsizing time for our family. This spring, we called her ready to both sell and buy. She was the consumate professional at every turn, so hard working and responsive in this extremely fast-paced market and was simply a joy to work with. We both sold and bought within a few short weeks, with multiple offers, well-timed closings and favorable terms. We would not hesitate to use her again and enthusiastically recommend her!"

★★★★★
"After losing my husband unexpectedly, I made a very difficult decision to sell my home and move in with my daughter and her family. But this house wasn’t just any house. It has been in my family for 100 years — my grandparents built it. It’s where my father grew, where I grew up, and where my husband and I raised our three children. To say it was an emotional experiece is an understatement. Lory handled everything with great professionalism, respect, and heart. She was very sensitive to my unique situation and walked me through each step of the sale with tremendous professionalism, grace, and kindness. I am so grateful for her expertise and care and could not be happier with my experience. Thank you, Lory!"

We highly recommend Lory whether you're selling your home or looking for your dream house."

★★★★★
"Lory is both an incredible realtor and person. When we were up against the clock to find a home, she took us on at the 11th hour (literally) and immediately hit the ground running. Without hesitation, she took our late night calls, worked around our schedules to show us listings across Chicagoland, took videos and notes when we weren’t able to view a property we liked, etc. When we finally found the perfect home, she helped ensure that we did not lose it in this incredibly tough market for buyers. In addition to being a great at her job, Lory is incredibly kind, patient, and communicative. Anyone would be lucky to work with her, and should."

★★★★★
"The best thing I did when I put my townhouse up for sale was hire Lory Gallagher as my realtor. She not only is very professional but also very personal. She helped us prepare the property for sale by making suggestions such as furniture placement, paint color, etc. I was working against time to sell the property. Lory researched the sales of similar properties in the area. Together we established a price to sell the property. On the second day the property was on the market we received multiple offers each above the asking price. Lory recommended an attorney to help us with the legal part of the sale. The closing actually occurred five days ahead of schedule without a hitch. Lory even help us sell the grill and outside table and chairs we had on the patio. I feel Lory went above and beyond during the process of selling our home. I highly recommend Lory and her team when you want to sell your home."

★★★★★
"Lory was wonderful! As first time homebuyers, we weren’t sure what to expect, but she helped and made the process smooth and successful. Lory handled everything! She recommended a great lender and lawyer, and was on top of any question or request we had. She never made us feel like we were asking too much, especially since we were new to the home buying process. She’s kind and professional, and I cannot recommend her more! If and when we plan to move in the future, Lory will be our go to realtor.."

★★★★★
"Lory was wonderful to work with. She was very in touch with our wants and needs. She's very knowledgeable and she will find you the home your looking for."

★★★★★
"Lory is the best realtor ever! We originally were linked with her through quicken loans back in 2017 when we were searching for our first home. We built up a great relationship and went on. But it was this past sell/buy that really clicked! She was more than just a realtor, she became a mom when we needed it and a friend to have for a life time! We spent WEEKS during the fall to hopefully find our forever and we finally did. The process was quick and painless. She made all the calls, got the best deals when negotiating and always a call away when we questioned something or saw something we wanted to see. Everything about her is great! Can’t wait for her to hopefully help our fellow friends and family find their forever homes!."

★★★★★
"We enjoyed Lory's knowledge of selling houses and all of the rules and regulations. She took care of our needs as well as letting us know what needed to be done to get our house ready for the market. I am very pleased at the way that she was on top of the open houses and handled every detail, even as far as little Bundt cakes! I highly recommend Lory for selling a home! She is very knowledgeable and super friendly."

★★★★★
"Lory is friendly, knowledgeable and very professional. She did a great job helping us decide what to prioritize in getting our home ready to sell and it sold quickly and we got more than we asked. Overall we couldn't be more pleased with the job Lory did in getting our home sold!"
