The Face of Boutique Real Estate
Lia LoChirco
When I reflect on my 32-year career in real estate, I see a journey that has always felt like second nature. As the daughter of immigrant parents, I grew up watching my family build homes, and today, I lead LoChirco Realty LLC, a boutique real estate company in Downtown Rochester, MI.
My career began at a young age. Growing up, my parents gave me a front-row seat to their achievements in home building. While I didn’t play an active role due to my age, I absorbed everything I saw and learned valuable lessons. After graduating high school in 1992, I attended Oakland University but paused my studies to earn my real estate license. Initially exploring new construction home sales, I fully committed to real estate in 2008 during the recession, transitioning from being a full-time family engineer to a full-time real estate sales agent. Helping clients and seeing the rewards of my work quickly became a passion.
In 2009, I joined Century 21, followed by Remax in 2017, where I gained invaluable mentorship and professional growth. By 2021, I made the bold decision to run my family’s brokerage, LoChirco Realty. Without actively recruiting, my reputation attracted agents who wanted to be part of a boutique company. Today, I lead a team of eight real estate agents, ensuring we deliver personalized attention and maintain high ethical standards.
Lia LoChirco – Top Realtor, Mentor, Dream Builder
Over the years, I’ve achieved a career volume of $96 million, with $8 million in total volume just last year. These accomplishments have earned me recognition as a Top 100 Realtor in Oakland County, Michigan, and a 2025 HOUR All-Star, along with active membership in the National Association of REALTORS®. One of my proudest moments has been guiding other agents to success, witnessing their excitement as they reach new milestones in their careers.
My multicultural background has shaped my approach to real estate. Fluent in both English and Italian, I’m able to connect with a diverse range of clients and adapt to different customs, opening doors and building meaningful relationships along the way.
At the heart of everything I do is my family. Married to my husband Joe for 33 years, I am incredibly proud of our children—Francesco, Rosella, Gaetano, and Gianmarco. They inspire me daily to strive for excellence and to lead by example, always aiming high.
Philanthropy is also close to my heart. I proudly support St. Jude, a cause that has personally impacted my family by providing comfort and refuge for my nephew and his parents during a difficult chapter in their lives.
Outside of real estate, I enjoy traveling, soccer training, working out, and spending time with friends at happy hours. My favorite book, The Good Earth, resonates deeply with my belief in the importance of investing in land and building something that lasts—a true legacy.
For those entering the real estate profession, my advice is simple: “Be consistent in all you do. How you handle the small things reflects how you’ll manage the big things.” Hard work and consistency have defined my path and remain the keys to lasting success.
Looking ahead, my dream is to continue building LoChirco Realty into a respected local powerhouse—one that empowers agents and delivers exceptional, relationship-driven service to clients. I want to be remembered as a woman who thrived in an industry often dominated by men, proving that passion, grit, and dedication make anything possible.
To young girls, my message is this: “There are no limits anymore. Thanks to the legacies of the women before us, we can achieve dreams they once could only imagine.” My mother’s pioneering spirit inspired me, and I strive to pass that inspiration forward.
I am not just a top producer in real estate—I am a mentor, a trailblazer, and a dream builder, committed to building more than homes. I’m building legacies.
