About Lori
Lori Bakken is a Washington-licensed real estate broker (license #20034), a Redfin Principal Agent, and a founding member of The McQuery Group, the family real estate team she runs with her sons Macartney and Casey McQuery. Based in Tacoma and working across South King County and Pierce County, Lori has closed more than 750 transactions and $390 million in sales, and holds a 4.9-star rating across more than 600 verified Redfin reviews.
Lori has been selling homes in Western Washington for decades, and the depth of that experience is what clients notice first: she has seen almost every situation a transaction can produce and knows how to keep it on track. She is an expert negotiator, a luxury specialist, and a steady hand for families handling an estate or probate sale, as well as first-time buyers who want someone patient in their corner. Reviewers consistently describe her as communicative, proactive and detail-oriented — the agent who will step in and do the last-minute work herself to get a home ready.
Lori works throughout Maple Valley, Kent, Renton, Covington, Auburn, Black Diamond, Lea Hill, Lakeland, Federal Way, Tacoma and Bonney Lake, as well as Seattle, Bellevue, Kirkland and Issaquah.
In Lori's words
“I absolutely love what I do! With a wealth of real estate experience spanning many years, I've had the privilege of being involved in a wide variety of transactions each one contributing to my deep understanding of the market.”
“Being active in the communities I serve has allowed me to acquire the knowledge necessary to guide clients through even the most complex decisions. As part of The McQuery Group I've contributed to our combined success of nearly 1,100 home sales and over half a billion dollars in closed sales.”

Client reviews
Incredible real estate agent! There's no one else I would rather have in my court when selling a home. She constantly kept me updated every step of the way during what became a challenging home sale. Her experience, knowledge and sales skills were all used to my advantage. Thank you, Lori I had such peace of mind, knowing you could handle every situation that came up. You're the best!
Lori was an absolute joy to work with, very responsive, and made the home buying process fun and easy. Highly recommend!
Lori is amazing! She is so communicative and always quick to respond. She pays attention to the details and made sure my house was ready to sell, and even stepped in to do some last minute work.
Lori is the best real estate agent ever! She is communicative and proactive about everything, and extremely detail-oriented. She helped me put together an offer that got us in our dream home and shared in the excitement with us.
Lori is an expert negotiator and went above and beyond to help us negotiate a fair price for our new lakefront home. You want Lori in your corner when buying or selling a home!
She is everything one could wish for in a real estate agent: knowledgeable, interested, committed, encouraging, caring, funny, always available. I could go on and on. She is, in short, the BEST!
