What clients say about this agent....
Lorraine Beato with eXp Realty was my first Realtor 13 yrs ago! So when my husband and I were ready to look for a bigger home I knew Lorraine was exactly who we needed to call. She made everything so easy for us. We cant thank her enough! I'm happy to call her my friend.
Starting from the first day we met Lorraine, my wife and I knew that it was a match. She made us feel like we were going to be a priority even though we knew that she had other clients. We had a unique situation where I was going to training and my wife was going to be at home alone during my training. Lorraine took the reigns during this process and answered any questions. We eventually were able to sell our house during the Covid-19 pandemic for exactly what we were asking for thanks to photography set up by Lorraine, realtor sites set up by Lorraine, and a walk through done by Lorraine to ensure that our house looked wonderful for the new owners of our house. I couldnt have asked for a better and more thorough realtor. I would definitely use her again if ever buying or selling. Thanks again Lorraine!!
Lorraine is the most responsive person I know. She helped me buy my condo and was the first person I called when I was ready to sell. I took a new job offer and had never dealt with a corporate relocation; her prior experiences with relocation clients was a huge plus and relief. She is knowledgeable, energetic, and truly loves what she does. Whenever I needed something, my mom would always say aEUR" call Lorraine. Lorraine was there to assist with the entire selling process as I had already moved out of state. She handled everything for me including inspection repair items and a remote closing. We navigated through a few offers and she always had my best interest at heart aEUR| to the point that we discussed taking the home off the market and renting it. In the end, the third offer was the charm and she got me full list price.I have and continue to recommend Lorraine to anyone in the market looking to buy or sell a home! She is super knowledgeable and very transparent with all that she does; she lays everything on the table so you are fully informed when making decisions. I trust her implicitly and will be asking for her input when I purchase a new place even though I am now in another state.
Lorraine was a great buyers agent to have. She was very helpful in determining how much house I can afford, what to look for in a house, and how to think about my resell for the future. She responded promptly and with valuable information every time I had a question. She also was honest about any concerns she had with a house and was not afraid to steer me away from ones I thought would be good but weren't.
I had accepted a job out of state, had been in the hospital and just wanted the move done! I checked an online offer company, which made an offer of $265k and their fees were about 9.9%. They later upped their offer to $274kLorraine generated multiple offers in 24 hours of listing the home and I sold for $31k more - and the commission I paid was a lot less than the online company's total fees.It was a whirlwind as I had already been working out of state. I was super stressed and had relocated, but not moved all my furniture. Lorraine came in and organized the mess I left (half packed boxes, bags with things to be donated, furniture to be donated) to be able to take some pictures for the listing until I fully moved out a week later at which point she would have the cleaners come in and take professional pictures. Well, she did her magic and got it under contract before I came back a week later to move! A few days before closing the attorney asked for a copy of the survey. Well, someone had dropped the ball and the survey was done the day before closing. The survey showed that the neighbor's fence was 20 feet ... YES! 20 feet on my property, yet the neighbor's survey showed their fence on their yard! Meanwhile, I am already living in another state so what does Lorraine do? She gets a copy of the survey and she and her husband walk my back yard, way back in the woods by the creek where it's snake city, to find the survey markers, take pictures and show that one of the surveyor's stakes (the one that shows on the survey is where the fence is) is in the middle of my backyard and nowhere near the neighbor's fence. Lorraine was able to speak with my neighbor, get a copy of her survey, e-mail the attorney and proceed to the closing table. She was able to calm the buyers and show them that, clearly, there was an error and managed to close the deal with the understanding that we would hash this out after closing, have the surveyor come back out and take care of any issue if there was in fact one. Being 12 hours away, I could not have done this without Lorraine. She also handled all the repairs, got the contractors in and out and made sure everything was right. I can't thank her enough and highly recommend Lorraine! (I should note - I bought this house via Lorraine a few years prior to selling!)
So after being unable to sell the property with another agent for over 180+ days, Lorraine came to the rescue with her expertise and was able to bring multiple offers and have it sold in 3 months. It's a HUGE benefit to work with an agent like Lorraine because she understands investors, the retail market & the hard word that goes into a renovation project. She's upfront and unbiased which I appreciate. If it's good she'll tell you and if it's bad...she'll tell you!
Lorraine is an amazing agent and definitely has your best interests at heart! She is so friendly, treats you like family, and at one point, even showed us almost 8 condos in a day! She responds quickly to questions and definitely helped walk us through all of our questions as first-time home buyers. I would highly recommend Lorraine to any friends or family who are looking to buy in the future!
if I had to describe my experience with Lorraine in one word it would be phenomenal. Lorraine always got it done. When things looked bleak Lorraine was right there reassuring me that she would work it out, and she did. Lorraine went above and beyond to make sure I was always taken care of. We often joked that she was my Atlanta mother (my family is on the West Coast). No one looks after you more than your mother; thats what Lorraine does. She takes you in and treats you like family. Family that is always there no matter the time or day, you can always call on Lorraine and she will be there. The things I appreciate most about Lorraine is: She always goes to bat for you, she gives her all, she is dependable, she educates you so that you are aware, she keeps you in the know so there arent any surprises. If I was going to buy another house tomorrow, Lorraine would be my number one choice. I know that even though Lorraine isnt my active realtor anymore because she found me my home, because of the relationship we built I know I can call her and ask her any question (as I have several times) and she is still there to lend a helping hand. Working and having the privelage to know Lorraine and have her in my life from here on out is a true blessing.
Excellent real estate professional... was blessed to have her during the search of my house. Ms. Beato assisted my spouse and I through the entire process. Her charisma makes her a great negotiator which worked for us greatly when it came to close on the final price. In fact I would like to take the opportunity to say thank you for her guidance and patience in answering all my questions at any time. Lorraine you are the best ! :)
I cannot say enough good things about Lorraine! Considering we were asking over $500K and close to the top of the market for the area, we knew there would be some work to do. She made the process of selling my home as pain free as possible, always keeping our best interest in mind. The negotiation process was very stressful for many reasons, but Lorraine always had a plan, remained reasonable, and kept everyone focused on closing the deal. In addition to that, she did an amazing job staging the property.
