Episode Details

We sit down with Auburn and Opelika REALTOR Lori Fuller of eXp Realty to talk about what real estate really looks like behind the scenes and why Auburn pulls people back for life. Laurie shares her path from marketing and event work into a relationship-driven real estate career built on service, speed, and deep local love. 

• serving Auburn, Opelika, surrounding areas, and Lake Martin 
• building a later-in-life real estate career after years in marketing, sales, and events 
• the myth that real estate is just showing homes and writing contracts 
• legal compliance, ethics rules, and continuing education that shape daily agent work 
• how commission changes and industry shifts affect how deals are handled 
• why buying and selling is emotional, plus managing expectations around budget 
• high demand and low inventory in Auburn, and why urgency matters 
• the hidden work clients never see: inspections, title issues, paperwork, and problem-solving 
• treating clients like family and staying connected long after closing 
• investment properties, game day homes, and why so many people want to move back 
• giving newcomers a better feel for town with tours and Lori’s Locals Loves list
