About Emelia Montalvo

Lori and her team were amazing to work with! She helped us find our first home (she made it a breeze and helped simplify everything!), and then helped us sell it 5 years later when we decided to move out of state. Throughout the 5 years, we kept in touch, got lunch/coffee, and we attended her client appreciation events. She became so much more than a real estate agent- she was a friend. I admire her knowledge about the market, her tenacity, her hardworking mindset, and her ability to form and maintain relationships. You truly will not find a better team to work with.

I picked Lori and her team because of her record of success in selling condos. She responded quickly to my interest inquiry and was very efficient in putting me in touch with a staging consultant, and selecting a photographer. After a number of viewings, we got a fair offer. I would definitely use Lori and her team again.

We had an enormously positive experience with Lori and her team to sell our parent's home. It was a difficult time for our family and we were treated with respect and compassion by every team member! If you are looking for a dedicated, confident, and knowledgeable professional to sell your property...Lori J is your agent!! Highly recommend listing with Lori Johanneson if you value efficiency, a hard-working ethic, professionalism, and integrity!

Lori is a pro! She has a vast knowledge of the housing market and trends and predicted exactly how the selling process would unfold. Lori and her team were prompt, helpful, and professional; they were quick to respond to all of my questions. Once I was ready to list my home, the app the team uses made the showings and scheduling simple and manageable. I highly recommend Lori and her amazing team for your home buying or selling experience.

Right from the beginning, we were highly impressed by Lori and her team's prompt response, attention to detail, and deep knowledge of the area. And the feeling continued to build through the process and to a rapid and successful close on our Naperville property. We are glad we chose Lori and would wholeheartedly recommend her!

This was our second fantastic experience with Lori and her team - this time selling the Tall Grass Naperville home which she helped us buy 7 years ago. Like a fine wine or good scotch, Lori and her team have only gotten better with age! Lori is fantastic about the "hand holding" and counseling required to help people make dramatic life changes. Her team is professional, prompt, knowledgeable, and a delight to deal with. The staging advice for the sale was spot on. The quality of marketing and materials were all excellent and with a high-end/premium feel and look. And the photos... we can't say enough about how thrilled we were with the quality of...

Lori and her team were wonderful to work with. We got approved for our loan and had an offer on the perfect house for us within a week. We look at many houses, but she knew exactly what we were looking for and helped us find the perfect home for us. I would highly recommend her and her team.

Lori and her team were a dream to work with. They are very knowledgeable and did so much behind the scenes to sell my house quickly and for top dollar. They are took the stress out of a stressful situation. They had our house listed very quickly and then had it sold a couple of days later. I couldn’t have asked for better service. I highly recommend The Lori Johanneson team.

We just sold our house through Lori and her team and the process was fantastic. Exactly the same as it was when she helped us buy that house. We were moving across the country and she spent time interviewing agents in the state we were going that would be a good fit for us. They really go above and beyond and I love that they host different types of events for families.

Lori and her team are amazing! After being in my current home for 15 years I was ready for bigger and better. Lori's team helped sell my home in less than 4 days and find me a great new house. They are all very responsive and truly care about your needs!

My wife and I contacted Lori to help us find the perfect home for us...and she delivered! Lori is an amazing realtor!! She helped us through the process from the beginning to the closing. Lori is very knowledgeable and personable and she is very professional. She also has a great staff who treated us like family! Let me tell you, choosing Lori to help us find our home was the best decision we made in a long time! Call Lori for your next home purchase and I promise you will not be disappointed!

This is the second time Lori has helped us buy and sell houses, and once again she provided outstanding service. This time we were particularly impressed by her approach to selling, which included targeted and sophisticated marketing, her own staging crew, continuous price point analysis, and tenacious follow-up on every possible lead. We will never go anywhere else because we know we can count on Lori to get top dollar from the sale of a house.

Lori is a true professional and is one of the best. Her experience and honesty are what make her such a great agent to work with.

Lori gave us an array of buyers and was able to get us above the listing price and above appraisal value.

Wow! We cannot speak highly enough about our experience with Lori. She not only possesses an outstanding knowledge of current and near-term market conditions but understands how that applies to your home. From the minute we signed on the line with Lori, she got to work immediately with professional pictures, staging, and outstanding advice on what we should be doing to best represent our home. Lori stayed with us throughout the process which was very comforting. It would be a huge mistake not to use her.

Lori and her team worked diligently to sell my home. Many twists and turns in a home sale, but Lori and the team navigated all potential pitfalls to get us to closing. Lori knows the local market better than any local realtor, and actively marketed our home through a variety of channels. We had a deposit on a new home with a finite time deadline and team Johanneson helped us close on a timely basis. Bottom line, if you are looking to sell your home in Naperville, you should definitely interview Lori.

After unsuccessfully trying to sell our place "by owner" we contacted Lori and she was fantastic! She knew exactly what to do to get the place sold. She was honest about the market and the home, had great photos taken and sold the property very quickly. She made sure our needs were met and worked very hard for us. I would highly recommend using Lori for your next sale or purchase!

We happened to meet Lori at an open house, and from the moment we met her, we knew she was who we wanted to help us find our first home! She is full of knowledge, patience, and a kind heart. She goes above and beyond for her clients and still does today even after we bought our home. She focuses on relationships vs transactions. We will always highly recommend her and never choose anyone else in the future!

I used Lori as a buyer and she was great. Easy to work with and fair, straightforward, and a good worker on my behalf. She's very knowledgeable and did some extra stuff you wouldn't necessarily expect, e.g. sitting in on the home inspection the entire time. I'd have zero reservations recommending her to others. She's great and will be a big help to anyone in the market.

I've engaged Lori on the sale and purchase of our last two homes. I plan on engaging her again if I ever look for a third! Always responsive, gives great advice, and always had my best interest in mind. From staging to photography, open houses to showings, and recommended offers to home inspections. Lori has it all covered and she's the best!

I have used Lori for the selling of 2 homes and the purchasing of another. Every time Lori has been nothing but professional and I know she will always keep our best interest in mind. She's an amazing negotiator and was there to help us through every step of the home selling/buying process.

Lori is an amazing realtor! We hired Lori to help us sell not one but two houses in less than 5 years. The pictures taken of our houses were spectacular and Lori sold both of our houses within 30 days or less. I would highly recommend Lori to anyone in the housing market!

Lori is a true professional and one of the best. Her honesty and knowledge made it a great experience buying and selling our home. Lori and her team made the whole process stress-free and enjoyable. Their communication was excellent, and they were on top of everything.
