“Laura was awesome to work with. We purchased our first home in a very competitive market. She navigated us through the process from beginning to end. In making our offer on the home we wanted, we beat out 15 other offers using her advice, with the home still appraising for more than we paid. She was also very understanding and made sure we never left our comfort zone. Laura knows all about the Atlanta area and neighborhoods. If we ever purchase another home or sell this one, we will absolutely go with her again.”

“We used Laura to both find our new home and sell our existing home. We had a very tough, drawn out buying process, but Laura stayed on top of the process for us, brought a lot of great expertise, and humor to keep us sane and on track. She was able to negotiate really creative enhancements and financing options for us. On our sale, she was able to get us under contract much faster than other properties in our area. We would highly recommend Laura to anyone who wants to work with someone who looks out for their best interest.”

“I cannot say enough good things about Laura - she is incredible! She has extensive knowledge of the in-town area, is very responsive and truly listens to your needs. She also knows how to structure offers in this highly competitive market to make sure yours stands out from the rest of the pack. I am so thankful for all she has done for me and cannot recommend her enough!”

“Laura was friendly, responsive, tactical and helpful every step of the way through the process of selling our home. We moved out before closing and she even met the exterminator when we had to have wasps treated on the balcony after we had left town. Our closing went off without a hitch. We would highly recommend her services.”

“I can’t say enough good things about working with Laura! As a first time buyer, I really appreciated how knowledgeable, professional & responsive she was. She helped me navigate the market, answered all my questions & connected me with all the right contacts when needed. Overall she made my whole process feel easy & smooth. Highly recommend her.”

“We can’t recommend Laura enough! This was our first time buying a home and she was our rock throughout the entire process. We had a million questions and we felt supported thanks to her expertise and guidance. Laura operates with intentionality, speed, and integrity and we knew we were taken care of every step of the way thanks to her. Not to mention she is a gem with the best personality so any chance we got to be with her made the process even more fun. You’re in the BEST hands with Laura!”

“How do I even put into words how amazing our experience was with Laura… I can sure try. She is beyond knowledgeable in her field, more friendly and comforting than the best friend you have but also knows how to get the job done professionally and efficiently. We listed our first home with her and she orchestrated the most amazing open house that had tons of people through the doors, we had an offer immediately that ended up being the one. She took the reins on that and couldn’t have gotten us a better deal. We also bought our current (and hopefully our forever) home with her as our agent. The process was extremely stressful because we were on a two week trip in Europe during the majority of the negotiations… but Laura stepped in and handled as much as she could to take the burden off of us. Long story short, she is a freakin rock star and we feel so lucky to have her as an agent and friend. Thank you Laura!!!!!!”

“Our homebuying experience with Laura was outstanding from start to finish. She was so response and patient with us, explained everything each step of the way, had great insights, negotiated like a pro, and connected us with other great professionals for our mortgage and home repair needs. Her positivity and sense of humor also make her a joy to be around! Cannot recommend her enough.”

“Laura was a joy to work with and extremely helpful for us as first time home buyers. Laura was knowledgeable, friendly, patient and responsive throughout the whole process. She knew the market, was able to give spot-on advice on prices and successfully negotiated all of the key points we asked for. We definitely recommend hiring Laura!”

“As we all know life doesn't stop for house hunting. We had a trip abroad and it just happened that a house on the exact street we were hoping for & met ALL our criteria went on the market the first day of the trip. Thanks to Laura's deep understanding of our needs/wants, her thorough communication, and our confidence in her that had been built every day throughout our home search we were able to get an accepted offer and go under contract from 7,000 miles away. As self-described risk-averse first time home buyers, we never would have imagined this was possible! Thanks to Laura's clear communication & negotiation skills, we didn't miss this opportunity while we were away & we ended up with our perfect home! We couldn't recommend Laura enough!”
