No bones about it: we hit the jackpot when we found Laurie as our agent. We are first time home buyers and unfamiliar with what is involved in buying a house, so we were looking for someone who would really handle us with care, so to speak. We interviewed multiple agents and immediately felt a fit with Laurie. She was forthcoming and honest, clearly knowledgeable and experienced, and explained things to us without talking down to us. She listened carefully to what we were looking for from the beginning and was patient when even we were unsure what we wanted. It's a very competitive – and quickly changing – market right now and we really needed someone who was on our side and looking out for our best interests. That was Laurie, without a doubt. She was pointing out benefits and drawbacks of every home we visited to ensure we had the full picture and was always willing to spend some time teaching us so we would go into every showing a little more knowledgable. Whenever we offered on a place, she was responsive, strategic, and sympathetic in a way that we really appreciated. And soon we'll have the keys to a home that feels so perfect for us, it kind of feels like we dreamed it up! We are so grateful to Laurie for all her help and look forward to working with her for years to come.
