Finding your dream home in Columbia doesn’t have to be impossible. Your real estate goals are in reach with the right REALTOR®. Gold winner for Best Realtor, Jenny Lorenz-Rudkin, has been putting families and individuals in homes since 2013 — and she wants to get you there.

Lorenz-Rudkin began her career after leaving a job in technology sales in education. She thrived on relationship-building and helping schools obtain much-needed resources; the highlight of the work was helping people meet their goals. Lorenz-Rudkin realized that channeling that passion through real estate was the right fit.

Since then, her life is filled with clients, colleagues and professionals, many remaining dear friends after the transaction is complete. Lorenz-Rudkin builds these bonds with communication, honesty and integrity. She treats each client’s transaction as if it were her own. She’s a trustworthy representative, on her client’s team for the long haul.

“My clients don’t encounter a salesperson when they work with me,” Lorenz-Rudkin says. “There’s no hype. It’s just a real focus on their goals. It starts with clarity about the process, the potential pitfalls and their priorities, and an awareness of the magnitude of the transaction. That’s where they trust me to be with them and know I’ve got their back. That is what strong relationships are made of.”

Lorenz-Rudkin wants to thank the great network of professionals in the Columbia real estate world, saying that it “takes quite the village to get a property purchase or sale across the finish line.” She trusts the vast network of home inspectors, maintenance and repair technicians, lenders and title companies in the community to care for her clients. For this win, Lorenz-Rudkin says she thanks God, her husband and family, all those who took the time to vote, as well as her clients, her broker and office staff at RE/MAX Boone Realty.

“There are so many amazing realtors in the Columbia area who work together to bring out the best in each other,” she says. “This recognition is such a blessing and an honor.”
