LORI KHODADAD
Coldwell Banker Realty (Union Heights) | Realtor® Member for 18 Years
WHY ARE YOU SEEKING A DIRECTOR'S POSITION? I bring a solid voice of reason and support, setting and maintaining high standards and respect for ourselves and others throughout our industry. I am a strong proponent of education and property rights and will work diligently to promote these aspects. My husband Mo and I have been married for 35 years. We live in Holladay where we raised our two children, Claire and Thomas. They are both adults now and live in NYC and Vermont. We are empty nesters, which gives me more time to serve my industry and my community. Outside of real estate I enjoy traveling (especially to NYC and Vermont), cooking, reading books of all types, skiing, working out and paddle boarding. I find the best way to be successful at what I do is to fully immerse myself in it. I have been a Realtor® and member of the Salt Lake Board of Realtors® for the past 18 years. Last year I obtained my broker’s license. It is important to me to stay educated. I keep up on laws, our market, and all things Realtor® and property rights related. I have a BA degree in psychology which helps me to understand myself and others. I have thoroughly enjoyed serving as chair/vice chair of the Government Affairs Committee for the past six years and have learned a great deal about the real estate industry by serving. I currently have the opportunity to teach new Realtors® about RPAC and Government Affairs at Realtor® essentials each month. I serve on the UAR Legislative Committee which is such an enlightening experience to see firsthand how our state government works. It is a high priority for me to regularly participate in Board activities. I truly believe that our industry can thrive through kindness, gratitude and respect for each other; I will lead by example. Over the years I've learned so much from so many wonderful people whom I've had the privilege to work with, I've gained confidence and knowledge and take pride in belonging to the Realtor® family! Those of you who know me know I give my all to everything I do! Serving you will be an honor!
