My name is Lori Pistulka. I grew up on a farm in a large family near New Prague. I am now blessed to have a family of my own including a wonderful husband and 2 beautiful daughters. I am a huge animal lover and currently have three cats. I am proud to be a volunteer at the Minnesota Valley Humane Society.  (For a copy of my informational report "Moving With Pets", click here.)   In addition to being a mom, wife, daughter, sister and volunteer, I am also a business woman.

Prior to joining the real estate industry, I spent 12 years working in human resources. I feel that my previous experience prepared me for the human aspect of real estate and the ability to counsel and care for my clients. While in HR, I managed the relocation process for our company - I know what corporations and employees are looking for when they are relocating or transferring. It can be a very stressful time and I am dedicated to providing the customer service, attention to detail and care you and your family need during this time. So dedicated, in fact, that I personally guarantee my service!

I absolutely love my job and if you partner with me you’ll feel that enthusiasm! People that have worked with me in the past would describe me as energetic, dedicated and easy to talk to. My ultimate commitment to my clients is exceptional customer service.

Comments from past clients include:

We met Lori at a first time homebuyers workshop and were immediately impressed with her upbeat and hard working attitude. She was extremely helpful and prompt in answering the insane amount of questions we had as first time homebuyers. We also really appreciated her flexibility and enthusiasm when it came down to the actual house hunting, not to mention her dedication to making sure we found the perfect house. And once we did find that perfect house, she worked side by side with our mortgage company to make sure every little detail was handled in a timely manner in order to make a quick close. The whole house buying process can be such a stressful and intimidating ordeal at times, but Lori was really there for us along every step of the way. We couldn't have picked a better realtor. She gets our lifelong recommendation.

Working with Lori in both the sale and purchase of our homes has been one of the most rewarding experiences we have had. Lori is knowledgeable in the field of Real Estate. She is very professional; her customer service is phenomenal and most important she is a tremendously patient person. Lori was always available to answer our questions. Selling and buying a home in today’s market can definitely be a very stressful situation and having the right agent can make all the difference in the world. We were lucky to have Lori work with us. She did not only do her job well, but went the extra mile for us at every step of the way. We will not only use her again in the future, but will very confidently refer her to anyone that is in need of an exceptional agent.

We really liked working with Lori because she was easy to talk to, easy to get a hold of and was overall very approachable. With us having four kids and a very busy schedule, she was always accommodating to fit into our schedule. Lori always had ideas for good compromises so that everyone was happy with the outcome. She was always on time for our meetings. We felt like no question was a 'dumb' question and there were a lot of things we didn't understand that she had to explain. We would recommend Lori –– we feel she gave us 110 percent!

Lori’s hard work and knowledge of the housing market found us the exact home we were looking for. We were nervous about selling our house due to the fact one on our street had been for sale for a few months with no buyers. Lori’s marketing ability found a buyer for our house well under the average listing time. Months later, the other house is still for sale and we live in our dream home. Lori has the unique ability to put you at ease, and you feel that you are her only client. When we share stories with others that have sold or are selling their homes, we are even more impressed with the job Lori did for us. Knowing she was there for us put us at ease and we were able to get excited about the move instead of worrying about it. We may at some point look for another home but we will never have to look for another Real-Estate Consultant, we have ours!

I ensure that each client’s interests and expectations are met in every transaction. I’m here to help you so please don’t hesitate to contact me! I consider it a privilege to have you as my client and I look forward to working with you!
