About Lori Phelan 
Lori Phelan moved to Sacramento in 1985, partnered up with a friend to start their own beauty salon in her early 20's. Her wonderful father encouraged her to get her real estate license to help him buy investment property. Making people feel good about themselves was her first love, but she soon found out she had another talent; helping people find their perfect home or find investment properties to help them become financially free. Real Estate was fast becoming another love.
In 2001, her husband, as well as their 10 year old son, took to the high seas on their 35´ sailboat. Their daughter stayed home for college and took care of the house. Sailing 1 year on, 1 year off, they cruised in the Gulf of Mexico, Bahamas, Jamaica, Colombia, Panama and through the Panama Canal. Heading almost due west across the South Pacific to Australia, up through Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore and finally to Thailand. After 16,000 ocean miles, she is now anchored back in the Sacramento area to give back to her community and to continue to help more and more people find their perfect home.
Lori is not only committed to sharing her knowledge of the market and neighborhoods, but is also making her clients´ home buying experience as smooth as sailing the South Pacific!
My Client-First Philosophy
There are many qualities and skills that go into being an excellent real estate professional - integrity, in-depth community and market knowledge, marketing savvy, effective negotiation skills and a high-quality professional network, all of which are hallmarks of how I work.
That said, in my experience as a Sacramento area real estate professional, I've also found that providing the very best service is essentially about putting my clients first. This means keeping myself accessible, being a good listener as well as a good communicator, and responding quickly to your needs.
This "client first" philosophy has always been my approach and it requires me to continually improve my skills and ways of doing business. In addition, I've found that the latest technologies are enabling me to do everything I've always done, only much more quickly and efficiently. They've also helped me to extend the range of services I provide to my clients.
So when you decide that you'd like to buy or sell a home in the Sacramento area, please contact me.
