Description
My personal cell # is 239-298-6760. I help folks buy and sell homes and condos in Naples, Estero, Bonita Springs and Fort Myers Beach Florida. I have quality realtors that I work with that cover Fort Myers, Cape Coral and Marco Island. We do a fair amount of waterfront property including beachfront condos as well as residences in golf course communities. I've been a realtor since 2004 and I also appraised real estate for 9 years. My appraisal knowledge helps me serve my clients more as an advisor and not so much as a pushy salesperson. Nobody likes being "sold" so I am never pushy. Feel free to google my name to see what my clients are saying about me.
I was raised in the Northwest suburbs of Chicago, near the Wisconsin border. When I was young I was obsessed with golf and hoped to make it to the PGA Tour. I ultimately realized that professional golf wasn’t going to happen and decided to become a real estate appraiser in 2001. After obtaining more than 2,500 hours of experience, I became a certified appraiser. I initially didn't want to become a real estate agent because I didn’t want to be a “pushy salesperson” but soon realized that I could be a different breed of real estate agent by acting more as a consultant than a sales person. With this in mind, I went on to acquire my real estate license in 2004 and the rest as they say is history. In 2006, after meeting additional education requirements I upgraded my real estate license to become a real estate broker and went on to establish Northwest Suburban Real Estate in northern Illinois. In addition to managing the office, I built a team of professionals and continued to sell real estate. I sold real estate and appraised until 2011 when I gave up formal appraising so I could focus on selling real estate. In 2015 after 11 years of selling real estate in Illinois, my allergies, combined with a complete and total hatred of cold weather lead me to sunny Southwest Florida. I absolutely love it here and I'm proud to be with the area’s top real estate firm: Downing-Frye Realty, which has been in the Naples market since the 1960s. Customers can depend on my commitment to act in THEIR best interests.
When not working, I enjoy golf, biking, walking, fishing and spending time with my wife, Lindsay.

Testimonials
I am most impressed with Sean's immediate responses to whatever issues I, the seller, encountered. He remained professional yet pleasant as he guided me through a more-complicated-than-usual home sale. The two out-of-state owners (my daughters) are especially pleased by the efficiency of our closing agents - a firm recommended by Sean that was an excellent choice.
Selling our home through Sean Lorch was a positive experience - we are happy!
Sean, our real estate agent, has taken customer service to a whole other level. He made the process of purchasing a Park Shore high-rise condo on the beach seamless. Never in our experience have we dealt with a more proactive, knowledgeable, efficient and detail-oriented agent. If you are in the market for a Naples property, I strongly recommend Sean.
Sean helped my husband and I find a home in Naples. Sean has more than 20 years experience as an appraiser and realtor. He listened to our preferences and found our perfect home in just a few days. The listing was overpriced and Sean expertly negotiated the sales, inspection and closing processes. He is smart, persistant, and a fun person to work with. He is the best realtor we ever worked with (over the years we purchased nine homes) by far. Stress free househunting at its best.
Sean did a fantastic job quickly marketing our condo in The Moorings! He made an excellent suggestion that we stage the newly-renovated condo and recommended an excellent designer to furnish the unit. He is very responsive and creative.
We had a great experience with Sean! We were in from out of town and met with Sean twice to look at condos while we were in Naples. He was very low key, did not pressure us and was able to hone in on what we were looking for. We found the perfect condo, and Sean expertly negotiated a great deal for us, and took care of many of the small details leading up to our closing. He was very responsive and knew how to get the deal done for us! I would highly recommend Sean!
