What My Clients Are Saying…
“Laura is an incredible agent! As first time home buyers we had no idea what to expect, and she held our hand through the whole process with professionalism, speed, and reassurance. She got us to close in 30 days during the pandemic, and stayed on top of deadlines like a boss. We loved working with her and you will too. She’s who you want to work with when finding your next home!”
“What a lovely experience from our first meeting all the way through to close of escrow. Dedicated, communicative, and not once did I feel confused by the process or out of the loop. A perfect balance between a kind and thoughtful representative, but a bull when it came to negotiating on my behalf. We ended up with a really special house for quite a bit less than I anticipated. I will look forward to going through the process again with Laura. ”
“Thanks to Laura’s assistance, expertise, professionalism and persistence, my husband and I were able realize our dream of buying our first home. ”
“ Laura is sweet yet assertive, patient, trustworthy, organized and efficient - the perfect combo for a killer agent! I feel very lucky that I was able to go through this process with her by my side.”
“Laura is amazing. Knowledgeable, savvy, and patient. The last point being so important as a first time buyer. She helped me find a beautiful mid century modern condo in Pasadena. Entering into the LA market was stressful, but Laura’s expertise and experience truly paid off and help me cinch the winning offer, for which I’m so grateful.”
“Laura is calm, patient and above all organized. She diligently explained (and re-explained) the various steps included in the buying process and made sure that I was comfortable with and cognizant of the implications of each decision. One would be lucky to work with Laura everyday—if only one were buying a home everyday.”
“Laura was amazing. She picked up on what I was going for without a lot of guidance. We shared similarities in terms of neighborhood and home styling. Because she’s even working on her own renovations, she was able to give great tips for how to fix up the properties we saw and make them my own. She navigated some tricky escrow situations with ease and poise. She always made me feel calm, looped in, and like she was on my team every step of the way. Work with her and you won’t be disappointed!”
“Her eagle eyes helped us identify where shortcuts might have been made by sellers. She never pressured us and was grounded at every step. She’s very knowledgeable, professional, hyper organized, and quick to find answers when she doesn’t have them. I appreciate her being there for my wife, my son, our dog Jhansi, and I. We found a wonderful house thanks to her!”
“If you are hoping to find an agent who truly cares about her clients, goes miles above and beyond the normal expectations for such a task and whom you may just want to stick around even after you close escrow - look no further.”
“Laura is the best! She is extremely thorough and efficient taking care of all the fiddly details of house-buying and making the technical part stress-free. She has great taste, gives good advice if you want it and she gave me the emotional support I needed to trust my own decision-making (because it can be stressful and scary buying a house).
Laura also knows the market really well and will quickly get a sense of your house-personality and try to match you with appropriate listings. You can learn a lot from her about Los Angeles too; she is familiar with the idiosyncrasies of its many different neighborhoods and might end up introducing you to a cool place you didn’t know before.”
“Laura guided my wife and me through the surprisingly emotional process of buying our first home. We knew next to nothing when we started the journey, and Laura explained, helped, counseled, encouraged and protected us every step of the way. We always knew what to expect thanks to her. And when bidding got crazy on a house we were sure was, “the one,” Laura advised us to walk away. And a few weeks later, when we found another house, Laura negotiated an incredible deal for us. She is patient and kind, but always knows the exact right moment to pounce. We love our house, we would never have gotten it without Laura, and I cannot say enough wonderful things about her!”
