Happy Clients.
“Laurel is unlike any realtor we have ever used. Her knowledge of the market and her strategies and methods are first class and helped us sell our home for the highest price per square foot in our neighborhood. We have used many other top agents and always felt disappointed but never again. We highly recommend Laurel for all your real estate needs!”
Tim and Jen S.
“Thank you so much for making the experience of buying our house as stress free as possible. We were so impressed with your professionalism; the direct, honest advice you gave us about what to look for in a house with a pool in terms of the optimal lot and elevation. Your expertise and familiarity with the areas we wanted to explore were invaluable. It was an absolute pleasure working with you. Anyone who is looking for an agent to help them buy or sell a home, should look no further if they are looking for a consummate professional.”
Louise and Mark R.
“Every builder should have an agent like Laurel. She is invaluable in the build process from lot selection to floor plan review to finish out recommendations. Her pricing and sale strategy help us sell quickly in any market.”

“We were so happy with Laurel’s advice on an offer strategy and are 100% certain we would not have won out in the multiple offer situation had it not been for her experience and expertise. We are so thankful to have found such an amazing realtor and highly recommend her to anyone trying to buy a home in this crazy market.”

“I believe Laurel’s pre-listing plan and staging suggestions helped us get the asking price for our home (which was higher than we believed we could get). No one has ever been transparent before with their budget and the costs they were willing to incur for the sale. She was clear, up-front and detailed about it, and it was one of the many reasons we decided to use her. Laurel did a great job and absolutely earned every penny of her commission. Would absolutely use her again.”

“Laurel provided A+ service and I think she is the most professional, hard-working, competent, knowledgeable, proactive, communicative, dependable realtor I have ever worked with (and I’ve worked with a few). She is amazing and single-handedly changed our opinion of realtors.”
