Sachi Hawaii Agent Spotlight: Meet Lori Chang
“You can teach a person how to sell, but you cannot teach them how to care.”
Meet Lori, a local native from the island of Oahu with over 25 years of experience in customer service and high-end luxury retail. Her position before joining Real Estate was as a General Manager at Global Luxury Brand, Burberry for almost a decade, where she attended best-in-class leadership trainings that were instrumental in her success. Her past experience helped her excel in serving clients of all walks of life, leading sales teams, and developing a keen eye for detail and a unique perspective through a luxury lens. Additionally, she cultivated positive relationships with local, U.S. Mainland, and international customers.
When it comes to clients, Lori values character over financial status. In fact, she emphasized consistent service for everyone and the mantra “never judge a book by its cover” when she used to coach her sales teams. This approach extends seamlessly into her work in Real Estate and how she treats those she comes across outside of work. Lori’s passion for understanding and discovering people is evident in her ability to connect with them; she particularly enjoys meeting genuine and down-to-earth people. She also appreciates when clients get “raw and real” when confiding about their real estate situation with her. Lori’s goal is to make potentially stressful processes as smooth as possible, adding authenticity to every interaction.
Drawing from her leadership experience, Lori ensures clear communication, care, confidence, and conviction in her interactions. She listens avidly and provides thoughtful feedback, understanding that knowledge and instinct are vital in negotiation. Transparency is paramount to her; she keeps clients informed at every step, readily finding answers to their questions. Mentored by industry leaders, Lori’s trustworthiness is affirmed by past clients who have contributed significantly to her career growth.
Lori believes that timing is everything, whether it’s about clients being ready to make the pivotal decision of buying or selling a property or waiting for the right home to surface while keeping their timeline in mind. Her approach to life is finding a balance between work and play and also maintaining a sense of humor. In her leisure time, she indulges her love for island life by surfing and watching sunsets with friends. Indoors, she enjoys listening to iconoclastic podcasts, reading enriching books, and engaging in stimulating and intellectual conversations, all while striving for continuous personal growth and alignment with her higher self.
Connecting with Oahu
When work wraps and the island calls, you’ll find Lori catching waves beneath the Hawaiian sun or traversing Oahu’s breathtaking hikes. It’s in these moments of connection with the land that Lori’s passion is truly ignited. This deep love for her island home fuels her dedication to helping others find their own perfect piece of paradise, a place where they can create memories and connect with nature as deeply as she does.
Island Knowledge, Exceptional Results: What Clients Say About Lori
Lori is a shining star among the agents I have encountered across Oahu. She brings a wealth of experience, knowledge, professionalism, and dedication to her clients. The market can be extremely complicated and competitive, but Lori is able to navigate these challenges with ease.
I met Lori when she was hosting an open house, and I appreciated her friendly, ambitious, and inquisitive demeanor. Her genuine authenticity and positive attitude will make any seller feel confident to be represented as a priority. After meeting with many brokers, I reached out to Lori for guidance as my buyer’s agent. She assisted me through the entire decision making and purchasing process with tact and compassion, even when the inevitable difficulties popped up, to smoothly and successfully complete the deal.
I highly recommend Lori as an expert for your real estate transactions, with local, mainland, or international clientele. I have been continuously impressed by Lori and the well-connected Sachi HI team!
