Laura Kaufman

Laura is hands-down the best realtor you can work with. I’ve worked with her twice - to purchase my condo in 2012 and to sell it in 2024. In both experiences, Laura was incredible throughout the process. I’ll focus on my 2024 experience where Laura helped me sell my condo while I was living in Santa Monica. My wife and I have a 1-year old, and it wasn’t feasible to do trips up to San Francisco. Laura handled every step of the process and allowed me to sell the condo over the asking price. She assessed the unit and identified a series of upgrades that would help. We then prioritized the upgrades with my budget. Laura then helped me find contractors and find the hardware. She then project managed the actual upgrades, staying in close contact over the phone. We did the counters, sinks, faucets, lights, floors, painted the wall, and more. She then marketed and showed the unit. Despite a slow time in the market, we got multiple offers over the asking price! The offer we took was a two-part loan that was quite complicated. Laura helped me understand the risks and navigated me through the closing period. Some things you get with Laura. She is experienced and knows exactly what you should do at each step - preparing, listing, marketing, and negotiating the close. You spend time when it’s required and you don’t waste time when it’s unnecessary. She has a strong network in the city, and can get you the right value for your needs. The network also comes into play when you’re buying and selling. Other realtors know Laura’s honesty, integrity, and volume. That means others want to work with her. Most of all, you can expect someone who will understand what you need, be honest about what you can and can’t do, and provide the right guidance throughout. Over time, you’ll get a friend who can literally make your home a better place.

She is a real pro, and we were lucky to have her as our agent. She is by far the best agent we have ever dealt with and we recommend her unreservedly.

"Laura's the best! From start to list to close, Laura led every step of the way with clear, consistent communication. She worked to understand our goals, values and perspective and - above all - Laura got results!"
