Find Your Place
Lauri Lee
Inveniam viam avt faciam - I will find a way or make one. My high school (Holton-Arms) motto has become a way of life for me.
After relocating to Providence from the Maryland/DC area in 2008, I fell in love with Rhode Island. Our beaches, our cities and towns, our wildlife, our artists and athletes, and our incredible cuisine - the smallest state really has an embarrassment of riches. My clients trust me to advise them not only in real estate, but also in local resources and entertainment. Since transitioning from the field of Education to Real Estate, I have earned the REALTORS(R) Commitment to Excellence endorsement, certification as both a Pricing Strategy Advisor and an Accredited Buyers' Representative, and the Circle of Excellence Bronze Sales Award. I am very proud that 100% of my clients have given me 5-star reviews, whether buyers or sellers. My ultimate goal is to delight my clients!

With an undergraduate degree in Anthropology & Fine Arts (with a concentration in Contemporary African Art) from Amherst College and a master's in education from the University of Maryland, my personal interests are varied. I enjoy reading, hiking, weightlifting, concerts, travel, photography, and birding. I also boast an impressive shoe collection. 
 
I live on the East Side of Providence with my husband Terry, our dog Fergus (half Golden Retriever, half Bernese Mountain Dog), and our rescue cat Cosette. We have grown children who live in Boston and Denver. Being active in the community is important to me; I serve on the Boards of the Community Libraries of Providence and the Jewish Day School of RI, and I am a member of the Development Committee for the RI Center for the Book. I am also a Certified Wildlife Transporter for the Wildlife Rehabilitators' Association of RI. In addition, I hold alumni leadership roles at both of my alma maters, Holton-Arms and Amherst College.

What My Clients Are Saying
“We cannot say enough wonderful things about our experience with Lauri as our realtor. We were first time home buyers and we came on with a lot of questions and very little knowledge. From our very first meeting, Lauri demonstrated she always comes prepared, would listen to our needs, and help us feel confident through every step of the process. Lauri has extensive knowledge of Rhode Island neighborhoods and helped identify locations that met our interest and needs. She introduced us to new neighborhoods we hadn’t considered but ended up loving. She also has an a wide network of people she connected us with to help with our mortgage, inspection, and any other needs. Lauri is very responsive to questions and went with us on almost every showing. She helped us see houses for their potential but also their current value, a skill new buyers often struggle with. When it came to putting in offers, she gave us realistic information, supported and empowered our decision making, and ultimately helped us close on a perfect house in an amazing neighborhood. I recommend Lauri to all of my friends because she is the best out there!!!"

“We used Lauri for both the sale and purchase of our new home and she went above and beyond!! Lauri helped us and advised us with everything from recommendations to get our house ready to sell to helping get all the appropriate inspections for the new house. We can’t recommend Lauri enough, she really personalizes your experience to meet all of your specific needs. Thank you Lauri!”

“Lauri (and all those she enlisted for our "team") was fantastic to work with! We were in a situation where we were largely able to look only remotely, but Lauri made it easy! She was honest and open about the home's appearance, concerns, strengths, and value. She was communicative and always available for questions and concerns. We had an amazing experience with her and would strongly recommend.”

“We cannot say enough about Lauri! We worked with her for over a year and there is no way we would have came out of this process with the house we have now without her. This market is crazy and overwhelming (especially as first time home buyers), but Lauri helped us feel more in control and capable. She always had our best interests at heart and we felt truly cared for throughout the entire process. She was incredibly generous with her time (we saw probably 50 houses together), and there were some weekends when I know she hung out with us more than she did with her family. She taught us so much about how to approach an open house, look at specs, and assess the pros and cons of a property. All in all, Lauri was a god-send, and we are so lucky to have had her on our team! We would 1000% recommend Lauri to anyone looking to purchase a house! We love you, Lauri!

“Lauri is an exceptional realtor who was there for me every step of the way in the sale of my home. She does her homework, thinks strategically, is organized, professional and kind. Lauri responded immediately to every question and worry I had. I’ve worked with other realtors and Lauri rises to the top. Whether you’re selling or buying, contact Lauri now. She’ll be in your corner from start to finish to get the results you’re hoping for!”
