"Lotika helped us find our new home when we relocated from Chicago to Lexington. She advised us very well even prior to our arrival. She listened carefully to our requirements and sent us all the right properties to consider. We were particularly appreciative of how responsive she was throughout the process and how fast she was able to modify our search criteria when needed. Lotika gave us great service while looking for a home as well as outstanding service during the follow-up. That is from the time our offer was accepted till we finally closed on the property. We highly recommend Lotika as a very warm, knowledgeable and professional Realtor."
-Laurent and Dominique, Client
"Lotika was outstanding in helping us find our first home! In Boston’s challenging seller’s market, we were very discouraged as first time home buyers and felt like we would never get an offer accepted. As soon as we met Lotika, we knew she would be the one to get us our home! Her greatest assets are her expertise, professionalism, and negotiation skills. She shows up on time, communicates well, has a great network of resources, and is an expert in her field. Meeting several selling agents during the process, it was apparent that she is well-respected in the real estate community. She is an excellent negotiator without being too aggressive, and will always have your best interests in the forefront. It was especially important for us as first-time home buyers to have an agent who could walk us through the steps of the complicated home buying process and answer any silly questions along the way. Lotika always took the time to listen to our needs and make us feel comfortable."
-Kara and Ethan, Client
"Working with Lotika was a wonderful experience. She is knowledgeable, dedicated, and was always there with us on the journey to find our first home. We were a new bee in a brutal real estate market. She guided us in every step. Lotika was always by our side on this long journey. Her jovial optimistic attitude was very reassuring and because of her constant guidance we never lost hope. Making an offer standout from others is key to winning a house. Lotika is a pro in this field. She knows many ways to make an offer competitive. We must say that this is her one of the strongest skills. Having worked in this field for many years, she has built a strong network in this industry. Her connection with lenders, attorneys, and other realtors was very helpful in our last step of negotiations and finally in closure. We can’t thank her enough for her constant assistance in our house hunting. We highly recommend her as your realtor."
