Lori Bettes

Since earning her real estate license in 2006, Lori Bettes has built a career defined by dedication, organization, and a true heart for serving others. With an extensive background as an administrative assistant before entering real estate, Lori brings a detail oriented and highly organized approach that ensures every client feels supported through each step of the buying or selling process.

As a valued member of Team Real Local, Lori embodies the team’s core values of “Work Hard, Be Kind” and “Make Everyone Feel Important.” She especially enjoys working with families relocating to Florida and guiding them through the exciting process of finding a home in one of the state’s fastest growing regions.

Originally from Lexington, Kentucky, Lori moved to Melbourne as a young girl when her family relocated in 1972. She immediately fell in love with the area’s natural beauty and vibrant community, and she still considers Melbourne the perfect place to live, work, and raise a family. With its proximity to the beaches, the Space Center, and the cruise port, Lori knows first hand why so many choose to call the Space Coast home.

In addition to her professional expertise, Lori has a passion for new construction and specializes as a New Home Specialist. She enjoys guiding clients through the unique process of purchasing new builds and helping them find the perfect fit for their lifestyle and goals.

When Lori isn’t serving clients, she can be found enjoying the Florida lifestyle through paddleboarding, yoga, drawing, or tending to her butterfly garden. Family is at the center of her world! She and her husband Wallace have been married for 31 years and are proud parents of five children and grandparents to 13 grandchildren. She’s also deeply rooted in her faith community through Coastline Community Church and the Coastline Recovery Program, where she volunteers her time to support others.
