"I have known Lorianne "LA", since 2011 when she started representing my wife and I as our commercial consultant. Since that time, we have completed seven commercial deals together including five leases, a building purchase, and a land purchase. We just opened our fifth LouVino location in Indianapolis, and our first Biscuit Belly breakfast concept in downtown Louisville, all with tremendous success. We have had quite an interesting ride together and over the course of these deals, we have dealt with a multitude of consultants representing the other client. I always thought that Lorianne provided tremendous professional service and knowledge about real estate and economic development, but seeing the level of service that is provided by others, I am confident that Lorianne is one of the best, if not the best, commercial consultant and economic development professionals in Louisville."

"Pitt & Frank has had the pleasure of working with Lori over the last several years. From the first transaction, it was apparent that her work ethic, professionalism, and service level was unparalleled. Lori does not view her clients’ lease or purchase as a transaction or means to an end. Rather, she sees it as a journey and bond she is creating with a long term relationship in mind. Her vast knowledge and experience in our industry benefits not only her clients, but the legal team as well. We are often able to expedite projects due to her assistance and collaboration. We always look forward to the opportunity to work with Lori."

My daughter and I were searching for a commercial space for a new business last fall. We quickly realized we were over our heads with the complexity of leasing commercial space. We were referred to Lorianne Bonn who has been in commercial real estate for many years. She immediately took over and we couldn’t have been happier with the job she did. Throughout the entire process she was professional, knowledgeable, and trustworthy. There was a lot of terminology with the lease that we were not familiar with and she educated us until we felt totally comfortable with the lease components. We relied heavily on her advice and opinions and she was always available at a moment’s notice when issues or concerns came up during the lease negotiation. There were also ancillary requirements we had to take care of to finalize the lease (i.e. insurance, HVAC service, build-out, and signage). We had a short build-out period and time was of the essence to open before Derby Day. She had professional contacts in all of these areas that worked with us to quickly turnaround quotes and work to be performed. We had a fantastic grand opening and we couldn’t have pulled it off without her. She was instrumental every step of the way and continues to assist us in lease matters.
In addition to assisting us with our lease, we have also contracted with her to provide marketing services through “The People Behind the Signs”. During our lease negotiation she reviewed our business plan and developed a marketing plan specialized for us (including an internet site). She created several video clips and assisted in the development and distribution of grand opening communications. She was very in tune to our mission and was able to develop targeted marketing accordingly. We are still in the early stage of our marketing rollout and so far the response has been tremendous. We would highly recommend LoriAnn for her real estate and/or marketing services. She takes personal pride in performing at a superior level and is very responsive to customer needs. As an added plus, she’s a big proponent of local business and is enthusiastic for your success as well!

As a small business, navigating the real estate process can be intimidating and overwhelming. We were referred to LoriAnn via a family member that had worked with her in the past. She came highly recommended, and LoriAnn definitely did not disappoint! She was extremely professional, courteous and took the time to listen to what we were looking for at any given point! Her attention to detail and consistency in checking in ensured that everything was taken care of in a timely manner and all needs were addressed quickly. LoriAnn kept us in the loop on all aspects of the process via regular e-mails and phone calls, and she was very personable and thorough throughout our entire experience. Though we ended up deciding not to sell at this time (this was due to a change in circumstances in our needs for space requiring us to keep the property), LoriAnn put in a spectacular effort throughout our time working together. We would highly recommend her services to anyone looking for real estate in the area!

"I worked with Lori for almost a year to secure a space for my small business. Lori acted as much more than a real estate consultant. She was a dedicated advocate to my vision, a voice of reason and experience, and worked tirelessly and beyond expectations. Her experience is not the only quality that makes her an outstanding ally. Her personality, enthusiasm, and motivation are catching. Small businesses are tough to get started, but she is impervious to defeat and negativity. LoriAnn is the epitome of professionalism and will keep a smile on your face even in challenging situations. I hope to have the opportunity to work with her again."

"Lori is extremely knowledgeable and managed details like no other. Lori would manage the dollars without asking, as if they were her own. Every project was managed thoroughly and with professional courtesy. Her work ethic is unsurpassed and she would serve anyone extremely well in their search for commercial property."

"Lori is an expert in economic development and an advocate for success. Lori played a critical role during the entire process of opening our first business, Uptown Art Louisville. She was not just there for the signing of our lease; she helped us with contractor selection and referrals, calling and meeting with governmental agencies to find out all the steps that were required to open our business, constant advertising of our business to other businesses, the community, and so much more. She made the process for new business owners as simple as it could be and we could not have done it without her. Even 18 months after opening, we keep in constant contact with her regarding business issues and appreciate her professional advice. In our minds, Lori has set the bar for what to expect from a real estate consultant and economic development professional. There is not another person who will work harder and diligently for the success of your business. I highly recommend Lori for any service that she may provide and will continue to utilize her services for future business opportunities."

She also helped us identify funding streams for several business projects. Lori is a highly dedicated professional with solid expertise, adept at helping differing parties reach consensus by focusing them toward common goals. Lori genuinely cares about her clients success."
