As first time home buyers, looking in a very competitive area, my husband and I did a lot of research on the home buying process and did not commit to working with a realtor until we were 100% sure that we found the right one. We are so thankful to have been introduced to Laurie as she exceeded all of our expectations! She is incredibly knowledgeable about the area (we bought in Melrose and she knows a lot about all surrounding communities) and local vendors. Before we started looking at homes together, she sat down with us to really understand what kind of homes we were interested in and walked us through the process step-by-step. When we were looking at houses, she helped us notice pros and cons that were not immediately caught by a first-time home buyers eye. During the offer phase, she offered invaluable information and strategies to make sure we were competitive but not overpaying. From the beginning of the process through closing, she was always a text or phone call away and made sure all of our questions were answered and we felt comfortable with the next thing to tackle. Even after closing, she accompanied me to some post-closing meetings related to the house which was simply above and beyond and she continues to be super helpful and attentive as we prepare to move in to the house. If you are looking to purchase (or sell) I would unequivocally recommend Laurie!
