As first-time homebuyers we were completely lost at the steps of the process and overwhelmed by the chaotic market we found ourselves in. We can guarantee without Laurie’s help we wouldn’t now own our dream home in less than a month of searching. Laurie made a confusing and anxiety-provoking process understandable, structured, and clear. It was obvious that us feeling knowledgeable and empowered was at the top of her priorities so no question was too stupid and no communication was too much. Laurie knows her stuff. On showings she was vocal about potential concerns and made sure that we had all the facts from her years of experience to make the most informed decision possible. This saved us many headaches and we believe gave us the upper hand when we finally put in our offer (beating out 18 other offers) and securing our home. We felt like we had a friend guiding us through each step of the way, advocating for our best interests, and genuinely caring about the home we would find. It is a difficult market, to say the least, and we are forever grateful that we had Laurie on our side. She is also connected with an amazing team from the mortgage lender, to attorneys, and inspectors. We felt taken care of, prioritized, and supported from the first showing to the closing date and beyond. We cannot recommend Laurie more highly. If you have the opportunity to work with her, do not miss it!
Laurie helped my family to buy our first house. She listened to what we were interested in and showed us a good variety of houses, and was very good at listening to our thoughts without pushing us. We were happy to have her guidance through the entire home-buying process. She was friendly, responsive, knowledgeable about the area, and great to work with.
Laurie helped us buy our first house 7 years ago, and we worked with her again to sell that house and buy a new one this year. Laurie is amazing to work with! In both our purchases, she coached us through the process and made great recommendations to position us with winning offers in a highly competitive market. When we were ready to sell, she coordinated sprucing the house up and staging it, and it looked better than we could have imagined when we were ready to list it. Throughout the changing guidelines during COVID-19, Laurie kept updated and listed and showed our house safely. She's responsive and always acts with your best interests in mind.
Two thumbs up to Laurie! We found Laurie through a corporate relocation program, and she was an incredible resource throughout the process. She was very knowledgeable about the local market and helped us to find a multi-family home that met all of our requirements, despite very limited supply in Somerville. Laurie pre-screened homes for us which was incredibly helpful coming from out of town. She was always prompt to reply and patient as we learned the ropes as first-time homebuyers. Laurie was very professional and not afraid to respectfully speak up when she didn’t think something was the right fit. She helped to negotiate things we never would have thought to ask for, and her robust network of local professionals has been very helpful as we plan our renovation. A kind realtor who gets the job done! Thank you, Laurie.
