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!"

Laura Kaufman understood our need to accomplish a timely sale for the best possible price. After setting up a calendar highlighting the progress dates to a sale, she kept us up to date from beginning to end. She proved to be extremely knowledgeable and excellent at her profession managing to get a top price for for what we believed to be challenging property. We would highly recommend her without hesitation.

My husband and I were extremely satisfied with every aspect of our dealings with Laura Kaufman. She was very professional. She focused on what things we needed to do to update our unit without having us spend a great deal. She and her terrific team showed the unit numerous times. Laura always provided us with timely and explicit feedback from potential realtors and buyers. Lastly, she bought us a buyer at a great price. Laura is an outstanding realtor that we gladly recommend.

We have worked with Laura Kaufman in two separate transactions over the course of five years and we highly recommend her. She confidently guided us through the uncertainty of the pandemic for a happy result in selling our home. We found Laura to be very thorough and responsive in meeting our real estate needs. She has a great feel for the local market and a strong network of support services (photographer, video, stager, marketing). In the years that we have had a relationship with Laura, we have turned to her to get advice to navigate our real estate lives and she has always been an ally in helping us sort out what to do.

"We had no experience as sellers. Laura's ability to explain the process(es), and her patience with our questions, were especially appreciated. She handled many many logistical details but made sure we were involved in key decisions as needed. Laura brought a team of contractors that transformed our property from "run down" to something we could proudly put on the market. The next time we need a realtor, we will start by looking for her."

"Laura is a superstar agent. This is my second time working with Laura, both times as a buyer. I initially wanted to buy a flat in a more suitable neighborhood and then changed course midway through my search to buy a SFH. It is not an easy process for SFH buyers in today’s market but Laura understood and adjusted to what I was looking for and my budget. She ultimately did a phenomenal job in negotiating my offer for a SFH with my ideal location, layout and features. Her clients’ best interests are her #1 priority which is obvious through the care, thoroughness and thoughtfulness she shows throughout the process. Her knowledge of the SF market is also just unparalleled. I’m working with Laura again already (as a seller) and most highly recommend her to anyone!"

I contracted with Laura Kaufman for the sale of my San Francisco condo. I had found her knowledgeable and thoughtful in my due diligence to select a real estate agent. Laura came with a solid team to assist in getting the condo ready for sale. She developed an innovative marketing plan which she executed flawlessly. And once the condo was listed she was very good at keeping me informed on what was happening with prospective buyers. I really appreciated her regular reports on the “action”. I would heartily recommend Laura Kaufman to you. She is knowledgeable, patient and inclusive.
