Lori Padilla

After spending 15 years in commercial real estate—managing everything from neighborhood retail to high-rise buildings—Lori finally followed her long-time dream of becoming a Realtor®.
Lori has been a licensed Realtor® since 2015 and joined TexCen Realty in 2018, where she expanded her work to include residential property management. That hands-on experience with the day-to-day of investment properties has made her an even stronger advocate for her investor clients, whether they’re buying or selling.
In addition to serving buyers, sellers, and investors, Lori also supports the TexCen team as a Policy & Process Specialist. She helps develop and implement company processes, new software programs and provides behind-the-scenes support to keep operations running smoothly.
Lori especially loves working with first-time homebuyers and guiding investors toward strong, reliable returns. She prides herself on being approachable and responsive – always willing to dig in, find answers, and help however she can. And if she doesn’t know something yet, she’ll track it down.
