"We were thrilled with Lorraine. Her real estate knowledge, professionalism and ability to understand her clients needs is the key to Lorraine’s success. We highly recommend Lorraine! When we decided to sell because we found another home and needed to move quickly Lorraine pulled it together in a few days. We decided to sell on a Wednesday and had our first open house 2 days later on Friday. As you know selling and buying a home is stressful. Lorraine is also part therapist as well as realtor.

"Lorraine Gately is the reason our home sold quickly, flawlessly and for top dollar, and she is the reason we bought our dream-come-true home, all within two months. She is knowledgeable, experienced and determined to help her clients to find a perfect home or sell their existing property. She succeeds at her mission with never ending focus, kindness and passion. She understands her clients needs, maps out the entire process for them and works tirelessly until that goal has been achieved. The combination of grace and grit makes Lorraine Gately the best realtor around!
Our home was purchased by the first person who toured it, in the middle of the pandemic surge, for above asking price. Lorraine’s exhaustive efforts and careful attention to every detail in order to launch our home in such a volatile time was paramount! Because of the genuine character of Lorraine Gately, coupled with being a master at the art of realty, I have already recommended her multiple times to family and friends who are looking to buy or sell a home.
I highly respect the working relationship between Jill Leeman and Lorraine Gately. Jill was always available to answer a call or to offer assistance." - Tim M. and Maria M.

"Lorraine Gately was efficient and courteous and was of great help to us in marketing our home. Without Lorraine's competent assistance we would not have been able to manage the sale of our home as quickly and efficiently as we did. We greatly appreciated her suggestions. Keep up the good work! Many thanks again." - Chet and Debby

"I had lived in my condo for six years, and also had worked in the city for 24 years, so I was aware of Lorraine's reputation for integrity and professionalism in her job. She has many years of experience, and knows her hometown and it's real estate market better than many other real estate agents in the community. Lorraine kept in constant communication with me during this entire process, so I was up-to-date with any issues or progress with the sales process. She was diligent to apply her vast experience to circumvent problems that might have arisen before issues could happen. Her performance was outstanding in every way! I have known Bill and Mary who own the agency for years, and they and their other associates also maintain a high level of professionalism and integrity. I was so satisfied that I handed out many of her business cards to neighbors in my former building who might be looking to sell their condos in the near future." - Kevin

"As first time home buyers, we were very intimidated by the whole process from the start. Lorraine was incredibly understanding, professional and took us under her wing from the first meeting to closing. She provided us with great information about what to expect from the process, and was always available to answer any questions we had. Her advice & recommendations were invaluable. Lorraine went above and beyond the call of duty - we could not have imagined a smoother or more positive experience!" - Marion

" Lorraine was the listing agent on my house when I purchased it in 1993. Her professionalism and caring demeanor was what made it easy to call her 29 years later to relist my home. Lorraine is absolutely amazing. She was hands on throughout the entire process and made me feel like I was her only client. Eight months after I moved out of state she continued to help me by finding me a tax accountant" -Carolyn

"It was a truly a pleasure to work with Lorraine Gately to sell my home. Selling your home can be very stressful and Lorraine was there with me every step of the way. She spent as much time as was needed and communication was open and immediate. Her knowledge of the area was invaluable when showing my home and conveying its value to outside agents and buyers" -Alison
