We were looking for our "forever home" in the Port Charlotte area. Didn't know exactly where, Port Charlotte? North Port? Punta Gorda? I had loose ideas as to what "my musts" were . . . a pool, tile floors, Zone X and knew what I did not want . . . on a major road, not something that would requires a lot of repair, not next to overgrown lot . . . Laurie was thorough in talking with us on a variety of other issues that never crossed our minds, helping us to find the right house. She listened and put together selections she thought we would like, based on our conversations, and she also followed through on leads we found. We visited many homes and her keen eye helped us notice the good and not-so-good with each visit. We wavered on two selections and she represented our interest way beyond what we expected. Then we found "the house". She helped us negotiate with the owners and helped us meet with them so we could discuss all the important things about the home that we needed to know once we would move in. She helped us navigate through unknown lingo on the contract and the home inspection report. She was always available for a phone call, any day and any time. Her calendar was always opened for us, at our convenience, to see another property. She was honest, and treated us like friends and not clients. Thank you Laurie, we are going to love it here!

Laurie Goodwyne is the consummate real estate professional. She provided a clear plan for the sale of my property with a strong emphasis on the use of technology to insure access by all potential buyers. The sale of the property in less then 2 weeks says it all. I would highly recommend anyone in search of a realtor select Laurie.

I interviewed several realtors and chose Laurie Goodwyne because of our immediate connection and her seeking to understand our needs first before trying to sell us a home. Laurie was amazingly responsive and flexible in meeting our timeframe of buying a house the week we visited Punta Gorda. Even after we found a house we liked, Laurie found out about another house She knew we would love and arranged a showing before we left town. That was our dream home! I would highly recommend Laurie for her professionalism, commitment to the best results for her clients, knowledge of the area, and how easy she made the process for us! We cannot thank her enough!

I cannot thank Laurie enough for finding us our dream home! The first and most important thing she did was spend a lot of time listening to us to understand our needs. She was incredibly responsive and professional. Even when we thought we were done looking she persuaded us to look at one last home because she said it would be perfect for us-and it was! She provided so many resources to ensure moving to Punta Gorda was a smooth transition. Thanks to Laurie I already feel like a part of this wonderful community.
