About Lora Banner

Marketing Director Turned Top REALTOR® — Lora Banner Sells Homes Like No One Else.

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.

A Partnership Built on Standards

Why Lora Chose A SMART MOVE

Lora Banner has built a reputation on one principle: clients deserve the absolute best — not just during the transaction, but at every step of the journey. That standard governs every vendor and every referral. A SMART MOVE has earned that association.

🌎
Local, Long-Distance & International
Whether moving across La Jolla, relocating across the country, or transitioning internationally, A SMART MOVE handles it with the same seamless coordination.
📦
Professional Packing Services
Full-service packing by trained professionals who treat every item — fine art, heirlooms, wine collections, and custom furniture — with precision and care.
🏠
Storage Solutions
Need flexibility between closing dates? A SMART MOVE offers secure, climate-controlled storage so your timeline is never held hostage by the calendar.
Vetted, W-2 Professional Crews
No subcontractors, no surprises. Every crew member is a trained A SMART MOVE employee — background-checked, uniformed, and fully accountable.
🤝
Values That Align
Lora partners with businesses that put clients first. A SMART MOVE's commitment to honesty, responsiveness, and delivering on their promise is exactly why they've earned a place on Lora's approved vendor list.
"

I only refer vendors I would use myself. A SMART MOVE has earned that trust — move after move, client after client. They show up, they communicate, and they never cut corners. That is the standard I hold.

Common Questions

Got Questions?

Here's what Lora's clients typically ask before booking their move.

How do I get Lora's Moving Guide and Vendor List?

Both are included when you submit the form on this page. Your coordinator will send the co-branded Moving Guide and Approved Vendor List shortly after — at no cost, no strings attached.

How is the VIP pricing applied?

Because you're on Lora's dedicated partner page, the BANNER-VIP code is automatically identified and applied. No coupon codes to type — your coordinator confirms pricing in your agreement.

What if my closing date changes?

We're built for it. Your coordinator stays in sync with your escrow timeline and can flex your move date at no charge as availability allows. Book early to lock in the best slots.

Are your movers employees or contractors?

Every crew member is a W-2 employee — never a day-labor hire or contractor. All pass comprehensive background checks, substance screening, and identity verification.

Do you handle luxury and high-value items?

Yes. We regularly handle fine art, antiques, custom furniture, wine collections, and full estate-level moves across La Jolla, Del Mar, Rancho Santa Fe, and all of San Diego County.

Do you offer packing services?

Absolutely — full-service, partial, and white-glove packout. Mention your interest in the form and we'll include it in your agreement.
