About Lari Dirkmaat

A quirk of circumstance, getting lost and two children arguing in the back seat, resulted in a life altering event. I discovered Pinehurst, North Carolina. The 1993 vacation led to a magical encounter with longleaf pines and a quaint village. Driving out of town three days later, I owned a slice of Old Town Pinehurst Village and the foundation to live in a place I love. My experience isn't unique. Many are just as captivated by the idyllic setting and friendly folks who live here. I read a sign that sums it up perfectly, "I wasn't born here, but I got here as soon as I could." Choosing an international life, I was privileged to live in several countries in the Middle East and Europe. And I enjoyed it! Small-town Pinehurst spoke to something that was missing in the large urban centers that were home for nearly 20 years. A slowdown of frenetic pace, good old-fashioned manners, and Carolina blue skies are just some of the things I treasure. Raised in Salt Lake City, Utah, I attended the University of Utah and American Graduate School of International Management (Thunderbird) for Arabic. The two kids in the back seat are now successful adults and I am lucky to have my grandsons nearby. As part of The Gentry Team, it's my pleasure to help folks discover our little piece of paradise and find a home place for family, friends and memories. And if it's time to move for new adventures, our years of proven success will make your selling experience another happy memory of living in the Sandhills.

We were very happy with Lari's personable and professional approach to home buying. She listened to what we want in the prospective house (location, size, amenities, etc.). Then Lari sent us listings based on our criteria. She included with the listings her preliminary insights, which we found helpful, since we were searching remotely. We appreciated that the manner by which she presented her thoughts was more like a friend giving advice, and not like a salesperson trying to reach a quota. Lari was very responsive and accessible. When there were more information on the house that we needed to know, Lari immediately contacted the seller's agent, then got back to us. When she had to make a long-planned trip that cannot be cancelled, Lari smoothly transitioned us to a team of colleagues from Martha Gentry's group. The transition was seamless. Mark and Lin, who took over, showed their professionalism and expertise during the process. The front office crew of Teresa and Hailey were similarly very helpful and pleasant to work with. We strongly recommend Lari and the Martha Gentry team.

Lari was available to my husband and I at a moment's notice during the process searching for our first home. She shared insights regarding choices that we would never have considered, and was knowledgable regarding neighborhoods of Moore County. Lari was honest and frank, and made sure we got the best home for our needs. We couldn't be happier with our new home and our time invested in our search.

Lari was an excellent agent. She worked relentlessly to find the home we wanted. Most importantly, she listened to our needs. She knows the area and all the right contacts. Highly recommend.

Just purchased our first home with the help of Lari. Being first time homeowners and trying to buy in a sellers market made for a daunting task, but Laris expertise and personality made for a wonderful experience. Her responsiveness was impeccable and we were successful in our negotiations. We are thrilled with our new home. She also helped my parents purchase a home back in 2015. Lari is highly recommended by our entire family.
