Lori Akers
Co-Owner & Broker DRE# 01081260 Phone(530) 520-8234 Websitewww.parkwayrec.com Emaillori@parkwayrec.comWith a fervent passion for architecture and design paired with a robust background in sales and finance, I embarked on my real estate career 23 years ago. Over the years, this career has blossomed into my life’s work, driven by my dedication to delivering unparalleled real estate experiences to my clients.
My journey in real estate features over a decade of affiliation with a major national brokerage, where I consistently ranked in the “Top 10” among more than 100 agents. My ability to foster long-term relationships has allowed me to serve multiple generations within families, assisting over 400 clients with diverse needs, from residential homes and multi-unit investment properties to vacant land and commercial ventures.
In 2018, I co-founded Parkway Real Estate Co., which has quickly grown into the leading independent real estate brokerage in Chico, CA, with a team of 50 agents. My leadership extends beyond my company as I’ve played active roles in local and state real estate associations, serving on boards and committees including the Professional Standards, Grievance, and Education Committees, and most recently, the statewide Grievance Committee of the California Association of Realtors.
I hold a degree in Business Economics with an emphasis in finance from UCSB. On a personal note, I enjoy a fulfilling life with my husband, a restaurateur I met three decades ago, our two wonderful grown daughters, and Milo, our beloved Goldendoodle. An avid gamer, I enjoy playing tennis, pickleball, golf, and cribbage, with a particular love for tennis!
What Clients are Saying
Lori was wonderful. We were located in another state throughout the process of buying our new home, and Lori was on top of every detail in a professional and timely manner. Definitely a 5-star exerience!
Working with Lori to buy our home was fantastic! My wife and I spent two days looking at houses with her, and while we were looking, my wife and I realized that what we had asked for wasn’t really what we wanted, and Lori seamlessly switched gears and started showing us houses that were in line with our true dream home. We quickly decided on a house and Lori helped us through the whole purchasing process.
Being out of state made the process more challenging, but Lori was right there for us the whole way through, attending inspections, and negotiating with the seller. She also helped us through some financing and timing challenges. We were in very good hands. She has kept in contact with us since moving in, and when my wife mentioned that the home warrantee people didn’t treat us fairly when the furnace quit, Lori negotiated with them and got us fair compensation. I highly recommend Lori Akers!
