TESTIMONIALS

To say that Laura is amazing, is an understatement. She is dedicated, hardworking and ambitious! At first the sellers had rejected our offer, but Laura dedicated time to fight and convince them as to why the condo was worth our offer. She put in extra time to do research and show facts and stats that backed up her claim! Not only did she secure our dream home but put a fight to make sure that they priced it correctly. Any other person would have just given up since the sellers were not budging. But not Laura! As a young first time home buyer, it is scary because you do not know who to trust. Laura not only guided us through the process seamlessly- she TAUGHT us about all the loopholes that could happen as if we were her own children. She was truly a BLESSING for us.

Laura was everything we could ask for and more. Any listing we wanted to see, she would set us up as soon as possible to have the best chance of getting our offer accepted. She was patient as we toured homes that we realized weren’t the right fit for us, and she offered her full background and expertise (from renovation projects to comps in the area) to give us her trusted advice as we toured homes. Through our purchasing process, she was with us every step and responded SO QUICKLY to any question we had, big or small. I know we will stay connected in the coming years and am so grateful that we found her to help us purchase our first home. This is why she’s such an award-winning realtor - she’ll fight for you and guide you along the way no questions asked. 10/10 recommend!

Laura is hands down one of the best realtors. She helped us win a highly competitive home with 16 other offers on the table, and we truly believe her experience, strategy, and relentless drive are what made the difference. From start to finish, Laura was professional, responsive, and an excellent communicator. Her ability to negotiate and close under pressure is unmatched. She knew exactly how to position our offer to stand out, and she stayed one step ahead throughout the entire process. If you’re serious about buying a home, especially in a competitive market, you need someone like Laura on your side.

Laura Herlo is very observant, smart, hard working, and patience. She took notes as we walked through each house. She ask great questions of each of the homes we visited. She noted what we like and what we don't like about the house. When homes were still competitive few months back, she sent us the list right away so we can be the first one there. She gave great suggestions and our offer got accepted on the same day! She also knows the market. She sold our place within a month. We definitely would hire her again or recommend to anyone who is looking for a great real estate agent. Did we mention she's one of the top real estate agents?

 

Buyer & Seller

I’ve worked with many real estate agents and brokers and in between before Laura and none of them compare. Laura has an Intuition for this that can’t be taught or learned. She is with you every step of the process, knows how to be that liaison between buyer and seller during negotiations, estimates for buying price and what to offer were on point, she has top notch recommendations for every other real estate professional you might need in the process, can’t say enough good things about Laura. She is the right agent for you.

Buying a house is so scary, especially in this crazy world. Laura did a great job walking me and my husband through every step. She found us the perfect house and made sure everything was handled with care and attention. With some bumps in the road, she made sure everything worked out for us in the end. She did a fantastic job from start to finish. Highly recommend Laura!!

Laura helped me buy a home when it was very difficult. Any home that was for sale had multiple offers. Her persistence and dedication to drop anything at a moment’s notice just shows how dedicated she is. Also, her negotiating skills were spot on.
