Nestled between Seattle and Bellevue, Mercer Island rests in the southern portion of Lake Washington. Incorporated in 1960, the city is highly regarded for its upscale homes, excellent schools, lush natural beauty, tranquil atmosphere, and miles of developed shoreline.
Mercer Island fosters a strong sense of community through a variety of family-friendly events, such as the Mercer Island Summer Celebration and the Mercer Island Farmers Market, among many others. Residents also bond over a shared love of outdoor recreation at popular venues like Luther Burbank Park, Aubrey Davis Park, and Mercerdale Park. Much of the city’s commercial offerings are clustered near I-90, which connects Mercer Island to the Greater Seattle Area and beyond.

About the Listing Agent
Lori Holden
John L. Scott, Inc.
(206) 203-2066Lori grew up immersed in real estate. Her family relocated nine times before she was in ninth grade, eventually settling on Mercer Island. Her mom, Lou, who she works with today selling real estate, made sure that no matter where they were they moved they had the best of the best. In a time before the Internet, Lori watched her navigate each community they lived in effortlessly to make sure that they attended the top schools, had reputable doctors, lived in a supportive neighborhood, and overall, just felt like they were a meaningful part of that community. Lori was always interested in real estate, but it was not until after she graduated from the University of Oregon that she became involved in the industry she had grown to know so well. Her first job out of college was with John L. Scott where she eagerly put her recent degree in advertising and journalism to work in the advertising department at the corporate office. The three years that Lori worked in advertising allowed her to establish strong one-on-one relationships with brokers and builders and understands both sides of the industry. After several years working at a corporate level, she decided that her passion was in the sales side of the industry and became licensed and started working at the John L. Scott Bellevue-Main office. Her time there helped her become an expert in contracts and negotiations. In 1991, after the birth of her first child, Connor, Lori transferred to the Mercer Island John L. Scott office and formed a partnership with her mother, Lou, to form The Lou and Lori Team. Their business model is based entirely on knowledge, honesty, trust, and hard work. Lori believes these characteristics have truly helped their team flourish for the past 25+ years! Lou and Lori sold real estate together until 2018, when her son Connor joined the team, making it a third-generation family business!
