Testimonials

"My fiance and I met Laura by chance when we stopped in on an open house in the very beginning of our home search. Laura was paying her dues, spending her Saturday showing of a not-so-glamorous rundown home with a smile on her face. It wasn't until months later that we really got serious about finding a home, but we remembered Laura from the one interaction we'd had and gave her a call. The positivity, poise, and professionalism we saw in Laura that day was what made our entire experience working with her such an excellent one. Laura was very clear and professional  about her expectations of our working relationship from the very beginning. She spent time explaining each process and procedure to us, until the night we sat down together to write our first offer at 9 PM on a weeknight (when I'm sure she had other things she'd rather be doing!). Laura is always responsive by phone and email, always on time for appointments, and has continued to be available even since our home purchase was finalized. She offered just the right amount of knowledge and opinion no matter how many questions we asked, allowing us to form our own thoughts about each home we visited. Laura is also extremely good with numbers, organized, and able to effectively articulate intracacies of the home-buying process that not everyone might understand right away.  She sent us all the information and home listings we needed but also looked through them on her own and ended up finding the home we live in now after I had passed by it in the listings. We are so thankful to have had a wonderful home-buying experience and to be living in our amazing home in Arlington. We'd recommend Laura to anyone interested in having an experience like ours!" - Pam & Greg, Arlington, VA

"As a first time home buyer the entire process was very daunting to us, however Laura made it very easy. She made us feel very comfortable from the start and never made us feel like any of our questions were "dumb questions". I would absolutely refer her to any of our friends and family in the area searching for a home." - Nick, Washington, D.C.

"When my business partner and I moved into the DC area looking to invest we sent out a list of criteria to several real estate agents hoping to find one that could help us accomplish our goals, thank goodness we found Laura. She worked quickly to compile a list of over 100 properties, most of which we visited in a short two day period. Without Laura's dedication and hard work I'm convinced that we wouldn't be anywhere near where we are now. We plan on continuing our professional relationship with her and look forward to working with her in the future. Thanks Laura!" -Stephen E., Alexandria

"We are happy to say that in less than six weeks, we were in our new home and it is all thanks to Laura's dedication to us.  She really listened, her commitment to us was reflected in her professionalism, timely communication and service to us and that made all of the difference. She was very knowledgeable and there were no questions or concerns that she was unwilling or unable to address.  She has so much energy and goes above and beyond what a Realtor should do.  She restored our confidence in the home buying process and I have since recommended her to anyone interested in buying or selling a home." -Maxine and Mustafa, Washington, D.C

"We recently had a baby and needed to move to a bigger home. A friend recommended Laura, so we contacted her. We thought we wanted to rent for another year before buying, but we told Laura that if she was able to find us a "steal" we'd consider it.  When she got back to us with a list of for sale and for rent properties, we were surprised how many homes were on the market close to our price range.  In the end we decided to stick to our original plan and rent.  Laura never put any pressure on us to decide one way or the other- she let us decide what was best for us- even when it would have been better for her had we chosen to buy. We were planning to move in September but Laura's work was so fast that she was able to help us get into a place in August which worked out even better for us. She showed us the properties on last minute notice and was overall very flexible, friendly and helpful. We would recommend her to anyone who asked!" -Jess & James, Falls Church

"Laura did an amazing job of finding me a condo that fit exactly what I was looking for. Her extensive knowledge of the area and the outside research she did for me made the process very fast and easy since we didn't waste time looking at properties that she knew I wouldn't be interested in. She was very low-pressure about making the sale by letting me move at my own pace.
As a first time buyer, I wasn't sure exactly how the process worked after finding a place to put an offer on, so Laura helped me every step of the way, from the initial offer through the mortgage approval and closing. I always felt very comfortable with how things were working, and anytime something came up she would contact me right away and we'd resolve the issue asap. I couldn't have asked for a better experience!"
