Meet The Host: RE/MAX Properties' Licensed Realtor And Broker, Lori Thompson

From teenage inspiration to Colorado Springs real estate legend, Lori Thompson's 40-year journey captures the essence of dedication and genuine client care. When Lori was just 14, forced to leave her beloved Colorado for Las Vegas, a compassionate realtor made her feel valued by including her in the house-hunting conversation. That small act planted a seed that would eventually grow into a remarkable career spanning four decades.

Remember 1985? Interest rates soared at 13.5% and the average home cost about $78,000. That's when Lori earned her license, despite warnings from friends that she would "starve" in the business. Today, she's not only thriving but selling homes to the grown children of former clients and even her own granddaughter. There's something profoundly meaningful about helping multiple generations of families find the spaces where they'll create their most precious memories.

What sets Lori apart in an industry often criticized for poor communication? "I answer my phone," she says simply. That accessibility combined with meticulous preparation for both buyers and sellers minimizes surprises throughout the transaction. For sellers, she focuses on proper home prep and high-quality photography. For buyers, she creates a roadmap explaining earnest money, inspection importance, and what to expect at each step. This thorough education process transforms potentially stressful situations into smoother experiences.

When not matching families with their perfect homes, Lori embraces Colorado's natural beauty through hiking, enjoys quiet time with her pets, and travels with her 90-year-old mother. After four decades in real estate, her enthusiasm remains undiminished. "I love what I do," she explains, noting that despite inevitable challenges, about 85-90% of her experiences are wonderful—impressive odds that explain her longevity and success.
