Born in St. Catharines, Lori’s family made the move to Collingwood when she was just 3 years old.
In 2006 Lori moved to Toronto where a job as an office administrator for a local real estate brokerage sparked an admiration for all things Real Estate. After only two short years, it became obvious that she missed home and it’s smalltown feeling.
In 2008, Lori, her husband and their fur babies packed up and moved back to the area and couldn’t be happier. It’s important to love where you live, and they’re delighted to call Clearview home.
After obtaining her Real Estate license, it was important for Lori to join a brokerage that shares similar values, which lead her to the Rioux Baker Team at Clairwood Real Estate. Their vast knowledge, prominent market stance and love for animals made it an easy choice. She couldn’t be happier to join a team that proudly supports the local humane society.
Being a homeowner herself, Lori takes pride in helping to navigate the process of buying or selling with empathy and compassion. With a passion for service in the beautiful Collingwood and Clearview areas, she is thrilled at the opportunity to assist with home buying and selling needs while making Real Estate goals a reality.

She came to Clairwood earlier this year as Front Desk Reception/Administration. Prior to Clairwood she worked in real estate administration for another brokerage.
Selling or buying a home can be a stressful time for folks and Cynthia hopes hearing a friendly voice on the end of the phone helps make it easier.
