READ MOREAs a young girl, growing up in the small town of Kolding, Denmark, Lilian Jorgenson loved to sell to the customers in her family’s grocery store. She vividly recalls the attention to detail and painstaking approach her father took to ensure product quality and customer service and the warm and caring relationship he had with lifelong customers.
Even though she’s lived in the United States for over 40 years that memory has left an indelible impression on Lilian’s approach to business. She works hard to stay abreast of the constantly changing market, to understand her client’s needs and means, and to make buying or selling a home a pleasant as well as an efficient process.
LEARN MORELilian Jorgenson has been outstanding throughout the process of buying the house. It was an unusual opportunity for the buyer and the seller and Lilian handled all of the process with professionalism, kindness and understanding.

They took the time to understand my needs and preferences, ensuring that every property they showed me was a potential fit. Their attention to detail and commitment to ethical practices set them apart in the industry. What truly set this realtor apart, however, was their incredible staff. It wasn't just a one-person show; they had a talented and supportive team working behind the scenes. Their staff was prompt, courteous, and incredibly efficient. Whether it was scheduling showings, coordinating inspections, or handling paperwork, they were on top of every aspect of the process. This level of teamwork ensured a smooth and stress-free experience for me. Perhaps the most remarkable quality of Lilian was her constant availability. They were always just a phone call or message away, ready to answer any questions or address any concerns I had. It didn't matter if it was a weekend or a late evening; they were there to provide guidance and reassurance. This unwavering commitment to their clients made me feel like a top priority throughout the entire journey. In conclusion, working with Lilian was a truly exceptional experience.

My wife, Kim, and I feel so blessed to have been able to work with Lilian Jorgenson for the selling of our home. Lilian, when Kim and I were just beginning the process of preparing to sell our home -- the whole prospect just seemed daunting, intimidating and scary. Your meeting with Kim and I and taking us through the process, outlining what needed to be done and your strategy for sizing up all the tasks and getting them accomplished instilled us with confidence that, in you, we had a partner who would guide us through the process of properly preparing, showcasing, listing and selling our home. That is exactly what you did -- and in breathtaking speed. And the entire time through each stage of the process -- from initial preparation/home repairs, etc., to listing, to offer evaluation and even during settlement -- you were always there and accessible ready to answer the questions and address any concerns that we had. Your everlasting upbeat nature and positivity was also delightful and helpful to Kim and I. (I am hopeful that some of that will rub off on me.) Kim and I are so grateful and we wholeheartedly thank you!
Working with Lilian as our Realtor to manage the selling of our home in Oakton, VA, was the best decision that my wife and I have made in a long long time! Lilian was immensely helpful in getting our home prepared for listing, arranging for professional photographic sessions (both interior and exterior), preparing brochures that beautifully showcased our home and getting it listed and sold at breathtaking speed. From the point of time that we first contacted Lilian, the preparation, advertising, listing and final settlement -- all of this was accomplished in just over a month! It is clear that Lilian is widely recognized and highly respected in the realty community and her network and close relationships with fellow agents was marvelously leveraged to contribute to the successful selling of our home. Beyond all of this, Lilian is a delightful person who is cheerful and emanates positivity. We were recommended to Lilian by our neighbor who also had a wonderful experience selling her home via Lilian. We highly recommend Lilian for anyone who is considering selling their home! Thank you. -- John & Kim
Lilian is a true professional who was caring and kind. Lilian has tremendous resources she has accumulated over her career. Lilian listened to our concerns and offered solutions. Lilian then used her contacts to ensure problems were solved. This was extremely important as neither homeowners were in the area and trying to remotely sell our home. Lilian was outstanding!
Professional realtor with an extensive network and a responsive, experienced team that are results oriented. It was a pleasure working with Lillian and her team of subject mater experts.
Lilian Jorgenson has been ranked among the top tier of realtors for some simple but profound reasons—she has that rare gift of savvy business acumen coupled with a genuine warmth of personality that helps to eliminate the stress of buying or selling a home. I have been acquainted with Lilian since she sold my father’s home some 20 years ago in 2001, and I specifically selected her as my agent to buy my new home in 2021. Lilian’s ability to list and sell my dad’s home in the thick of the uncertain housing market post 9/11 was unparalleled as was her strategy to to present my contract to the sellers of my new home in a manner that avoided any escalation. Lilian Jorgenson is truly the platinum standard of realtors!
We have used Lilian to buy and sell several homes in the past decade or so. My initial experience with Lilian was with the sale of a home in a divorce. It was an amicable divorce, but none the less she was very supportive of the sale and did not take sides. The house sold for asking price after 2 contingent contracts fell through, one based on funding and one based on inability of the buyer to sell their home. In a following purchase, we were looking for a home with multiple bedrooms on the first floor for my aging parents to move in with us. We were unable to find a suitable ranch style home, so Lilian suggested searching for a home or townhome with an elevator. Shortly after looking we found the perfect place and my parents lived happily their until passing away a few years later. That TH was then rented for a few years and recently sold by Lilian for 10% over asking price and about 40% over the original purchase price in a relatively short period of time. Lilian also found us the perfect new home closer to my office which she discovered was about to go on the market. It went on the market, and we had a ratified contract by COB that day. In each of the transactions, Lilian's staff was with us each step of the way throughout the buying or selling process. It will be time to sell again soon and move south and I will not hesitate to contact Lilian to handle that listing.
We would always come back to Lilian for any future home purchases. A very trustworthy partner for us! She had been an amazing partner for us from A-to-Z! Actually, even after the Z! Lilian continues to keep in touch with us as a friend & proactively helps us in the new neighborhood. Being new to the US and to NOVA, Lilian was our guiding light and a great advisor for many of our decision-making processes. Her expertise on many topics from the interior, exterior & even many legal-related matters & insurances was seamless and perfect. Lilian is the absolute Go-To person for us in NOVA real-estate market. We would love to express our gratitude 'in public' on this review for her and certainly hope many other prospective buyers share the same experience.
Lilian sold three homes for us and was our buying Realtor twice. She is fantastic, has a wonderful team, and gives you great references and ideas when it comes to prepping your house. In Spring of 2012 when the market was still very slow, we listed our home and sold it for over asking price withini three days. I'm in the mortgage business so I know what properties are worth. Her skill and knowledge is a major part of what helped us achieve these results. We referred her to a neighbor and she sold their house at a great price, again in three days.
