Laura worked with me for a little bit over a year to find the home I wanted. I had some requirements and was a bit picky on my choices and options. I wanted a home with hardwood (i hate whole tiled homes), natural gas, 3 bedrooms, 2 bath, a new roof (or non-leaking), electrical had to be 100%. Pretty much I'm looking for a house that I can move into without having to spend $1000s on repairs in the first year. So, I would say I was a bit picky, and Laura met all those needs and criteria. She was a wealth of informative even before I started looking for a home with giving me the step-by-step process and never giving me false hope or unrealistic expectations. She was able to simply answer any first-time homebuyers questions no matter how mundane or advanced the questions are. During the purchasing phase, she was on top of everything even when I left the country for a vacation. She kept me updated on everything and understood exactly what I wanted and expected, and she made it happen. As a first-time homeowner the process of buying is stressful and can go seriously wrong if you are not prepared. With Laura's knowledge and attention to details and her understanding of what I wanted made the decision to purchase my home much easier than I thought it would have been. Would I recommend Laura to anyone? Absolutely, and especially to first time buyers.
