LORI AND ERIN: SUCCESSFUL REAL ESTATE TEAM

Long before they became part of a highly successful team, Erin Valovich and Lori Gee found real estate careers in very different ways. As a child, Lori was fascinated by her father’s job of selling real estate in the Santa Barbara area, a career he started while in his 30s. “I remember as a teenager watching his success and knew immediately that this was a path that intrigued me,” she says. Erin’s foray into the profession evolved in a vastly different way. It was the transient life of a child whose father served in the military that led her to real estate. “My experience as a child moving to different military bases gave me insight and perspective on my career. I help people move, and I know what moving takes!” she says. Together they are highly skilled REALTORS® at First Team Real Estate, servicing Orange County areas including Dana Point, San Clemente, San Juan & Laguna Niguel. They met seven years ago when Lori was showing a house. “We hit it off immediately,” Lori says. “She worked for another company and I recruited her to First Team. We have been working together for six years and we both have a lot of past clients, so quite a bit of our business comes from referrals. Therefore, we do business together and separately. A lot of people in our industry wonder how we can work this way, but we have mutual trust and admiration for each other, as well as a deep bonding friendship.” Erin says that while she and Lori are “different and distinct individuals,” they are committed to the same goal; to provide their clients with the best care and service possible, and to become their real estate agents for life. Erin and Lori consider each other their closest business partner. And that shines through in their consistent dedication to each other and their clients.
