Lora Banner — a Real Estate Advisor at Craig Lotzof & Associates, Compass La Jolla — has hand-selected A SMART MOVE as the preferred moving partner for clients. You deserve nothing less.
Lora Banner brings something most real estate agents can only approximate: genuine, deep-rooted marketing expertise. Before becoming a REALTOR®, Lora served as a Marketing Director in the real estate field and as a Marketing & Social Media consultant — a background that gives her an extensive, proven expertise in marketing properties, building online presence, and generating serious buyer interest in every listing she takes on.
That experience makes a measurable difference. When Lora lists a property, it is not simply placed on the MLS — it is positioned, packaged, and promoted with the precision of a professional marketing campaign. The result is more visibility, more qualified buyers, and better outcomes for her sellers.
The cornerstone of Lora’s real estate philosophy is delivering unparalleled support and service throughout the entire journey of buying or selling a home — making it as positive, seamless, and stress-free as possible. As a San Diego resident with deep knowledge of the coastal neighborhoods and unique real estate market, Lora delivers a first-class level of service that her clients consistently praise.
Originally from the East Coast, Lora earned a B.A. from Rutgers University before making San Diego her home. She is a proud member of Craig Lotzof & Associates at Compass — one of the most prestigious real estate teams in the world, with over $1.95 billion in combined sales. When she is not helping clients buy and sell homes, Lora enjoys soaking up the Southern California sunshine with her son.
Change to: From coastal San Diego condos to single-family homes across the city's most desirable neighborhoods, Lora Banner's transactions reflect 9+ years of marketing-led real estate — where expert presentation, digital reach, and hands-on client service combine to deliver seamless results.
