About Loretta
Loretta's first step toward "getting it done" is to listen well and understand exactly what her buyers and sellers want and need. Then she channels her seemingly limitless energy, enthusiasm, experience, and area knowledge to turning her clients' real estate goals and dreams into reality.
This dedication has made her a multi-million dollar producer each year since 2008. In 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015, 2016, and 2017 she ranked in the top 10 in total sales volume among the more than 2,000 agents who are members of the REALTORS® Association of Lake & Sumter Counties, Inc. In 2014, Loretta was voted Realtor of the Year by her peers of the Realtor Association of Lake and Sumter Counties. In 2017, she was recognized by ERA Grizzard Real Estate's Humanitarian of the Year for her involvement in local charities. Also, in 2017, she became one of ERA Real Estate's Leaders' Circle, which is given to a few elite agents within the ERA global network.
Loretta and her husband John have purchased and sold numerous homes and investment properties in Lake Country. As a result, she knows first-hand what buyers and sellers want and need, and she provides it.
A 35 year resident, she's familiar with every development and street in her territory. That knowledge, combined with well-honed listening skills and an ability to truly understand what her clients want in a home allows her to save her buyers time and money.
Lake County home sellers appreciate Loretta's attention to detail and diligence in accurately and attractively presenting their homes on line. Now that more than 93% of all home buyers go first to the Internet, attractive photos and enticing descriptions can make the difference between home selling success and failure. Her marketing plan includes posting her listings on more than different real estate portals in addition to her own websites and the Multiple Listing Service.
Once her online marketing for each home is in place, she focuses on off-line marketing and promotions, including direct mail and e-mail campaigns.
Loretta's dedication to customer satisfaction, her fun personality, her take-charge attitude, and her drive to succeed soon turn clients into friends. They know she's going to get the job done for them and that she won't let "getting it done" compromise their best interests. Her clients know they can trust her to "tell it like it is" even when it's information they'd rather not hear.
Some wonder where Loretta gets the energy. In addition to going all out for her clients and taking extra classes to enrich her real estate skills, she's actively involved in the community. An avid supporter of Lake Cares Food Pantry, Deliver the Difference and Community Coach, she is also involved in the Golden Triangle Rotary Club, the Home Builders Association and serves on several committees of the Realtors Association of Lake and Sumter Counties.
Of course, her ongoing community involvement, reputation, and networking skills are a benefit to her buyers and sellers. When her clients come up against real estate issues, and conflicts, she knows exactly who to contact and where to go for a successful resolution.
When Loretta takes a little time off, you'll find her enjoying time with her husband, John, motorcycling, reading or relaxing on one of Florida's fabulous beaches.
When it's time for you to purchase or sell a home in Lake Country, call on Loretta Maimone – She's "The one to get it done."

Loretta and her team deserve 5 stars! Our estate sales contractor highly recommended Loretta and her team. We checked their reviews and decided to meet Loretta and her team. They came prepared with comps packaged in a nice binder. Their estimate matched our homework. We liked their team approach, which we have used many times in our line of work (i.e., engineering). Loretta and her team were always very professional and kept us informed during the listing period, which was extended due to the current interest rates. We felt confident that Loretta and her team would succeed in finding us a buyer. And they did! A cash buyer to boot!
We highly recommend Loretta and her team to anyone selling their home in the Lake County, Fl area.

Unbelievable experience! From start to finish. No nonsense, to the point no fluff. Loretta’s knowledge of the area is just the start. She’s fun! No real estate buzzwords! She know the products and without being pushy gives clear, accurate assessments of areas you want to look at. That’s just the start! Once you’ve had her negotiate for you you’ve got her team. Co- Agent Catherine is equally up to task. Then you’ll work with Misi. The magician behind the scenes. Accuracy and communication is her job. She doesn’t disappoint! Amazingly through! As suggested we worked the FL Title and Guarantee and we’re in the capable hands of Alta. Again, seamlessly getting the deal done. One might think of working with a “big name company”. I can say from experience that the expertise of these local professionals is the smart move. Thanks Loretta and team! You’re Rock stars!

Outstanding service with A+ results! It was a very successful and rewarding experience working with Loretta and her realty team during a difficult time for our family. After the death of a beloved family member, we found ourselves embroiled in the task of getting their Mount Dora home prepped for sale when none of us lived nearby. I found Loretta online and within hours discovered we'd found a real winner in an experienced and effective agent who knew how to get things done. Knowledgeable of the market and everything that goes with moving a property through all the steps and hassles, she and her team went above and beyond in getting home ready to attract the right buyer at the right price. They were responsive to emails, phone calls, and texts; they provided realistic perspectives; they answered all our questions; they kept the process moving efficiently so that we could concentrate on other things; and they had solutions for any problems that came up. From start to finish, we could not be happier with the results! Bottom line, I wholeheartedly recommend Loretta to anyone in the Mount Dora area who wants a professional and effective realtor.

Loretta Maimone is one of a kind. Her professionalism was exemplary, her communication skills were unmatched and the kindness in her heart was overflowing. Loretta knows the ins and out of the real estate business like few others do. She is an amazing people-person and problem solver. When there was a problem Loretta would go into fix-it mode and she knew someone who on last-minute notice would come and fix the problem, even during a monster hurricane. Being out-of-state in Colorado selling a family member’s home in Florida that was so key for me. Loretta was always available when I needed her despite the 2-hour time zone difference. I appreciate her help more than words can say. Loretta is simply the best.

If you want the best realtor in the area, you need to call Loretta. Our experience with Loretta and her team (Catherine and Misi) was phenomenal. When we called Loretta, we weren't even sure we were going to list. We just wanted an idea of what our home may be worth. Loretta and Catherine came out and looked at our property, then sat with us, pulled up comps, and gave us an honest assessment of the value of our home. There was no pressure. They left information and told us if we wanted to list, to give them a call, and we are so happy we did! From the day the team came to take pictures, all the way to closing, we experienced nothing less than top notch personal, professional service. Loretta even called us a week after our closing to be sure that we were alright after hurricane Ian! If you want a realtor who truly cares and is dedicated to an outstanding experience, we highly recommend you contact Loretta and her team!

After interviewing several realtors, my husband and I set up an appointment with Loretta Maimone. When we met Loretta, her warm and friendly demeanor made us feel as if we had known her for years. Her complete disclosure, no-nonsense approach, and knowledge of the real estate market made it an easy decision to choose her as our realtor. Loretta and her co-worker, Catherine McKenzie, were a constant source of encouragement throughout the entire process. As we prepared to sell our home, they recommended cost effective modifications that we could make to receive top dollar. Once the house was on the market, one of them attended every single showing, even showings by other realtors. We have never had a realtor do this before, and we appreciated it so much for the added level of security that it provided for our home as well as the assistance that was given to potential buyers, as they were able to receive immediate answers to any questions that they might have. In addition, we were able to gain quick feedback on the showing. Loretta and her team also worked tirelessly to help us find a new home. When we finally found our dream home, the home was owned by a corporation and the process did not prove to be an easy one. Loretta and her team fought for us and never gave up. They truly wanted us to have the home as much as we wanted to have it. We sincerely believe that we now live in our forever home due to the persistence and diligence of Loretta, Catherine, and their Transaction Coordinator, Misi Hopwood. This team will always feel like family to us, and we are eternally grateful!

The motto of Loretta Maimone is, "The one to get it done." In my opinion, she has undersold herself. She not only gets it done, she gets it done regardless of the circumstances. She gets it done by using the highest of ethics. She gets it done with compassion. She gets it done with integrity. She gets it done exactly as she promised. We had a difficult house to sell---very beautiful, but very quirky. We listed it with Loretta just as the interest rates began to soar and buyers were becoming skittish. Yet, somehow, she was able to sell our home in time for us to keep our contract on the new home we had fallen in love with. She doesn't do it by herself, though. Her team is amazing---Catherine McKenzie is a pretty incredible realtor in her own right. She or Loretta (or another team member) attended all of our showings. Think about that. What realtor lists your home and then takes the time to show up even when it's another agent showing it to their client? Loretta and Catherine were always there---they wanted to be able to answers questions immediately instead of making the prospective buyer wait until their realtor reached out. That is pretty incredible service...and, it made a difference. It's like you're getting two all-star realtors for the price of one. Honestly, I feel like their commission should have been higher. One final point: Two months ago, I couldn't have told you what a "Transaction Coordinator" was. Now, I'm confident in saying that Misi Hopwood is the absolute best in the business. She's the most organized person I've ever met. There are so many fine details to remember prior to closing, but I really only had to remember one thing: Call Misi. She either knew the answer or knew where to find it. I can't overstate how much smoother both of our transactions were because of her skills. In summary, if you're looking for a realtor, just stop. Do yourself a favor and call Loretta---she'll not only get it done, she'll get it done in a manner that's stress-free for you as a Buyer or Seller (or, in our case, both). Call her now---If you're like me, it will be one of the best calls you ever make.

Loretta and her team of experts are absolutely amazing.
Long review here, but if you’re considering a realtor, I hope it’s worth your time.
A few years back, my wife and I purchased our first Florida home which was listed with Loretta.
Jump ahead a couple of years and when we were considering selling the same home, we called Loretta and she and her team jumped into action … not to oversell us, but to be sure we had all the information needed to make an educated decision on when would be a good time to list, the strategy behind marketing the home and how best to highlight the home’s best features.
As she and her team made us feel extremely comfortable with their ability to list our home to achieve the best return on our investment (more than we expected), we chose to use her and the team. We did ask for a short amount of time to address some final touches before the listing went live, and she accommodated our every request while also providing her insight on the items that would have a return on investment and those we should consider let go.
Once we were ready, her team was all set to go … photography, listing info, networking with other agents, scheduling an open house … the works. As our home was quite unique in layout and among the most expensive in the neighborhood, we were prepared to wait a while for the right offer, but Loretta was confident we would see interest very quickly. She was right, and our property sold in 2 days.
However, that’s not where the story ends. As we continued the process, our buyers had some issues that delayed the closing. Loretta kept us continually informed (days, nights, and weekends), and her team stayed on top of the buyers’ agent to keep things moving ahead.
Anyone who has been through the process knows that not all realtors are equally qualified or engaged. If you’re thinking of listing or buying a home, you should go with the best connected to the local market. If you’re in or looking in Lake County, you should absolutely consider Loretta … she is The One to Get It Done!

My elderly mother lived in her home for 27 years. So to make the leap to sell her home was monumental. It was imperative that I find the best real estate agent to handle the job. As her daughter, I did an in-depth research and also on a recommendation, we interviewed Loretta and Catherine. We were convinced right then that they were the ‘right team’. From the get-go, they guided us step by step on what to do. When we needed contacts to get things done around the house to get it ready for market,
they were there for us. JP came to the house to help my mother get the house ready for pictures. The whole team, Loretta, Catherine, JP and Misi, communicated with us every step of the way. The house sold in 5 days. Wow! I live 2 hours away and they made sure I was informed of everything. I was very worried how this whole process would affect my mother. She has nothing but complements and accolades for Loretta and her team on this whole process. Today she closed on her house. She was happy and content. And that make my heart happy. And I owe that to Loretta and her team. So a great big thank you to each one of you for all your hard work!

OMG, where do I start. I have been dealing with Loretta for many years. She has worked with me on selling property and buying property. The latest, and hopefully last home for us was purchased just this year (2021);
We had moved to Tennessee and decided we needed to come back home to Florida. We wanted to move back to the area that we had lived in and loved for many years (Tavares). We came down and toured the areas that we were interested in. The real estate market was crazy. Houses that were going on the market were being sold in a day with multiple offers.
We had to go back to Tennessee to sell our condo. So, we picked three areas and we left the rest to LORETTA. She found our forever home and we bought site unseen. I know this sounds crazy, but over the years she has not only been our realtor, but has become a true friend. Our trust in her was complete and we love our new home. Thank you Loretta, we will always be indebted to you.

We chose Loretta Maimone for her knowledge, love, and passion for our Lake County area and for her vast knowledge and experience in real estate to sell our home. She and her team were excellent in guiding us through what we should do to have our home of 22 years ready for the market. Her suggestions and guidance helped our home sell quickly once we listed. She and her team helped us through the emotional time since we designed and built this home for our family as our “forever home”. We had several personal items and features built into our home that we were going to have to leave behind and pass on to new owners. Loretta took all this information and sold a home – not just a house. Thank you so much to Loretta and her team. We highly respect and recommend her for whatever your need may be in real estate – listing or buying!

From my first meeting with Loretta and her associate, Catherine, I knew these were the women I wanted to show my home AND represent me in the business transaction of selling my home. Loretta has assembled an outstanding team of professionals who seamlessly orchestrated all the steps needed to market and sell my home. Their calm and professional demeanor made my stressful situation actually enjoyable. Their communication and attention to detail is excellent. Considering my house was being shown during “pandemic distancing”, the ball was never dropped. In fact, Loretta provided hand sanitizers with clever labels that demonstrated her respect for my home and potential buyers. Another very thoughtful gift was ERA packing tape and marker, that I received at the beginning of my journey with Loretta and Catherine. You never know how important these little touches are until you are in the throes of packing. Bottom line is, Loretta and her entire team are consummate professionals. Loretta knows Mount Dora and all the surrounding areas. She knows what properties are available and what properties might become available. This knowledge is invaluable when listing a home and, more importantly, when looking for a home in Lake or Orange County. Any seller or buyer can take pride in having Loretta, Catherine and their team represent them. Their integrity is impeccable.

We worked with Loretta Maimone to buy a house in Eustis. She is an awesome agent. She had answers to every question, was always available, and knew people to recommend for inspection, termite, insurance. She is always honest when giving advise and really knows the market. She was just happy to help us in every way.

I recently purchased a home in Mount Dora, remotely. My agents, Loretta, Catherine and the extended ERA Grizzard team took me through the experience as if I was there in-person. No ask was too small, including after the closing, which was also remote. From measuring rooms for me to checking the mailbox after a storm - they were all still as diligent as the first day we connected. I highly recommend this experienced team who do everything they can to make this big move in life, smooth and effortless.

Loretta Maimone was our choice to list our family estate. My parents purchased the property east of Eustis 63 years ago. Dad tore down the old two-story house that was on it and repurposed the materials by building our home. Loretta and her team were very responsive, compassionate, patient, and professional in helping us through this time of transition with all of our memories in selling our family homestead in Eustis. Loretta is “partial” to Lake County and knows the area very well. She loves the community and sells more than just a “building” - she sells a lifestyle! I highly recommend her and her team - whether for listing or for buying!!

When I wanted to list my home, I interested 4 realtor’s in the area. Loretta and her assistant both came and were so lovely and professional and knowledgeable I knew right away they would be the ones to list my home. For the start it was a breeze. Frim the quality of photos to the yard sign all the way through closing! And it sold in days!! Not one worry. Loretta was always available by phone or text. If your looking for a true professional you can’t do better than Loretta and her “Team”.

I recently needed the expertise of a professional to handle the sale of a family home. I want to highly recommend Loretta Maimone and her awesome team who came to the rescue and got the job done in a professional and efficient manner from listing through closing.

Loretta Maimone has handled numerous real estate transactions for us over the past six years. She has listed, sold, and helped us buy a number of properties. She, and her staff, are really the best in the area! They are knowledgeable, professional, and always responsive to questions and concerns. Great team, led by a great realtor. We wouldn't think of hiring anyone else for our real estate needs.

The “one to get it done” is so true! From the start, Loretta and her team were awesome. Her extensive knowledge of the area market set the best price. Then the team went to work - showcasing my home in beautifully done pictures and video. Every detail during the process was handled professionally and timely. Any bumps in the road were immediately smoothed out by Loretta. Communication with the entire team was great. They were all responsive and personable. During our first meeting Loretta really listened to what my goals were in selling my home. I was downsizing in preparation for retirement. She heard me. Not only was my home sold the first week for full price but she helped me find the perfect next place to call home. I will be forever gratefully for such a positive experience. If you are buying or selling - this is by far the best team you will ever have work for you!!

When we first met Loretta she said, “We’re gonna have some fun!” And you know what, we did! Loretta enjoys what she does and her incredible personality and sense of humor made her and her team - Catherine, Misi & JP - instantly likeable and a pleasure to work with. We recently purchased a home in Mount Dora and Loretta and her team could not have been more accommodating. They used their extensive knowledge of the local real estate market to find us the perfect home and then worked diligently throughout the process to ensure a smooth and stress-free transaction – which was no easy feat when you are dealing with a very competitive market and multiple offers. As recent Arizona transplants, not only did we enjoy the time we spent with Loretta and Catherine looking for our new home, we also benefited from their knowledge of the entire Central Florida Area which proved to be invaluable to us as we learned more about the place we now call home!

Loretta and her team were the absolute best! Thorough, honest, punctual and all great communicators through this arduous process of selling our home a good distance away from Mount Dora, moving here and buying a new home. Without them at the helm, we would have been very stressed out! They oversaw all the inspections, were available any time we needed to get in to take measurements and made sure every question we had they answered or got the answer for us. We feel we can still ask about something 2 weeks after the closing as they are all now friends!!! Thank you so much! Judy and Andy

Loretta and her Team (Catherine, JP and Misi) function as a fine-tuned real estate sales machine. I have been in the Banking and Real Estate business for over 35 years and had engaged hundreds of Realtors, but have never been as pleased with the performance of a Realtor until I met Loretta and her Team. From the first call to her office she was prepared to satisfy my need for information and to give me the relative facts about the market. Loretta will not waste your time and will give you what you need to come up with an informed decision.
The process of going through the listing agreement, to staging your house so it will photograph well, to having your listing out there front and center of everyone else’s, to (if needed) go over strategies for a counteroffer. Loretta and her team will make the process easy and well-coordinated to minimize any anxiety during the sale process.
I forgot to mention I live in the Chicago area and trying to sell an out of state property has its own unique set of challenges, which Loretta and her team was able to handle.
If you do not believe me just search Zillow and you will see that Loretta will be one of the first and highest recommended realtors in the area.

She had highly skilled and wonderful people to assist every step of the way. I would have been completely lost without Loretta and her associates. From her years of experience she had trustworthy people ready to help from day 1 with inspections to the last day at the closing. Words aren’t adequate to express my heartfelt gratitude for her.

Loretta and her team are incredible! Loretta helped us find a home in Seminole County as part of a long-distance corporate relocation. She worked with and understood our needs, sometimes better than we did. She found us a home we truly love and was with us every step of the way through a challenging negotiation. But more than just a great agent, we thought Loretta was inexhaustible, straightforward, knowledgeable, savvy, honest, and just a lot of fun to work with. Her support team is great; always there and ready with an answer to every question. Loretta and her team are fantastic.

Loretta and the Maimone team always do an outstanding job. I have worked with Loretta to purchase two homes in the Eustis/Tavares area and most recently worked with to sell my current home in Eustis for sale. The professionalism and quality of the listing detail and photos was beyond compare. And, my home was sold in THREE days. Comps were hard to come by due to the uniqueness of the property, but Loretta worked closely with the appraiser to provide sales information for similar properties and the appraisal came through. They are all amazing to work with. I can't thank Loretta and the Maimone team enough for all their great work.

Loretta Maimone at ERA Grizzard Real Estate in Mount Dora handled the entire process of selling our home from listing to closing with utmost professionalism. Her thorough knowledge of the local market was invaluable in helping us set the listing price and time the listing. The extensive pictures and video that Loretta arranged to showcase our home were fabulous and the open-house events were very well attended. Loretta's team of associates became deeply involved in coordinating everything from the photo-shoots to the showings and handling all of the details necessary to make the closing go smoothly. Throughout the whole process we felt confident that, if there was any bump in the road, Loretta and her team would handle it. We feel lucky that we had Loretta Maimone and her team working for us to sell our home.

Loretta helped me in the sale of a home and purchase of a new home. I recommend Loretta very highly. She and her support team gave me the very best service. Kind, caring, extremely efficient and professional are just part of my recommendation. I've found my "forever" realtor/broker should the need arise. Prior to hiring Loretta I interviewed several other realtors and none even came close to what Loretta could do for me. Her advice and recommendations were spot on and she was always up to date on what was happening with my transactions. She is the best!

Loretta ensured the transaction remained on track and closed on time for our buyers. Thanks Loretta!"

Loretta Maimone has put together the most effective team of real estate professionals I have ever encountered. She followed three other realtors, all of whom were unsuccessful
in selling our home due to lack of attention, lack of marketing and inattention to our needs. Ms Maimone and her team were the opposite in all respects.
She developed a marketing plan and actively followed it pursuing numerous selling opportunities. She advised us on a proper listing price for the existing market, which was higher than with our previous realtor. There were more showings of the house during
her listing than with all the other three combined. She or a member of her team were present for every showing and actively promoted the house to potential buyers. We received frequent communication from her team and were always given as much notice as possible
for showings, She provided feedback quickly after each showing. Questions from potential buyers were relayed smoothly and a coordinated answer was always provided. Throughout the selling process and during the contract phase Ms Maimone made us part of her
team. We appreciated that and would hire her again in an instant. If you give grades go to your highest mark and work up from there!
