Meet Lori Olson: Local Expertise. Proven Results.

A seasoned real estate professional, Lori Olson brings a unique combination of market insight, design knowledge, and negotiation expertise to every transaction.

Lori’s real estate journey began in the late 1990s through her family’s design/build construction company. That experience laid the foundation for her deep understanding of building materials, residential permitting, and design—along with a keen sense for accurate property valuation. Her in-depth knowledge of the Alameda and Contra Costa County housing markets continues to be a valuable asset to her clients. Committed to ongoing excellence, Lori has invested in advanced training to better serve her clients. She is a licensed Real Estate Broker, Trained Expert Negotiator, and holds several prestigious designations, including e-PRO (for digital marketing and cybersecurity), Seller Representative Specialist (SRS), and Certified Luxury Home Marketing Specialist (CLHMS). She is also a proud member of the Luxury Home Council.

Whether helping buyers find the perfect home or guiding sellers through a seamless sale, Lori is known for being responsive, professional, and passionate about her work. Her vast local network, combined with her warm approach and strategic mindset, makes her a trusted advocate from start to finish.

When she’s not working with clients, Lori enjoys studying market trends and deepening her industry knowledge. She consistently ranks among the top agents in Pleasanton, the Tri-Valley, and Alameda County—and she leads with purpose. Lori proudly donates 10% of every commission to World Vision, a global organization dedicated to ending poverty and injustice.
