Born and raised in Texas and proud to call Austin home for over 25 years, I have had the privilege of watching this city grow and change while helping clients navigate some of the most important decisions of their lives. From first-time buyers to seasoned homeowners and investors, I believe every client deserves thoughtful guidance, honest communication, and someone who truly listens.

Throughout my career, I have built and executed communication strategies designed to enhance client confidence, satisfaction, and long-term relationships. I am known for being calm under pressure, detail-oriented, and deeply committed to advocating for my clients’ best interests, especially when things feel overwhelming or uncertain.

I love many aspects of real estate, but my true passion is taking care of the customer.

That means being accessible, transparent, and fully invested from our first conversation to long after closing day. I do not believe in shortcuts or one-size-fits-all solutions. Every client’s goals, timeline, and story matter.

Over the years, I have continued to invest in my education and business, earning my broker’s license and staying current on market trends, contracts, and negotiation strategies so I can serve my clients at the highest level. Whether you are buying, selling, or simply seeking clarity, my role is to guide, protect, and empower you every step of the way.

If you are looking for an experienced Austin real estate professional who leads with integrity, care, and clear communication, I would be honored to work with you.

"Lori was an incredible partner in our first-time home buying process. She is incredibly smart and truly knows the ins and outs of the market. She thought of things we would never have considered and took the time to do detailed walk-throughs at every home we looked at so we had a better understanding of each home's condition. She answered all of our questions and calmed our nerves at every step. She was incredibly patient, knowledgeable, and thorough. She carefully prepared offers for us and gave us smart, insightful advice on how to get our offer accepted in a tough market. We were also impressed by her negotiation skills and professionalism during the closing process. We are so grateful we had Lori by our side during this time and k now it is only because of her intrepid skills and approach that we secured the perfect home for our family. Even after we closed, she continued to answer questions and recommendations for various services in the Austin area, which we appreciated. We can't imagine a realtor with more knowledge than Lori and have been highly recommending her to our friends. We are so grateful to Lori for all of her help and work during this process."

She found homes that aligned with our wish list and offered advice throughout the process, making it less stressful. We never felt pushed to make an offer, and Lori wanted to make sure we were 110% in love with the home we put an offer on. She was there every step of the way, and we really felt like she was on our side with our best interest in mind. Her support throughout the home search process made her feel more like a. mentor and friend than someone trying to do business. We would definitely use her again."

"I worked with Lori Whidden to purchase a home in Austin. I am not from the area and it was difficult for me to get out there. She was able to do video walkthroughs of homes and give me her recommendations on what she liked. We got a great home at a great value. Lori was attentive, professional, and worked with me to get exactly what I needed."
