Seller of 2520 McGee Avenue, Berkeley
I cannot say enough wonderful things about Laura. I was selling my uncle’s home from out of state, and Laura made what could have been a complicated and stressful process remarkably easy. She handled everything—from coordinating contractors, inspections, and appraisals to preparing the home for sale and organizing the open house and sales process. She kept me informed every step of the way and was always incredibly responsive, organized, and professional. Laura’s knowledge of the Berkeley market is exceptional. Her advice was spot-on, and the process unfolded almost exactly as she predicted. I had complete confidence in her judgment throughout the sale. My experience truly could not have been better. Laura exceeded every expectation, and I would recommend her without hesitation to anyone buying or selling a home in the Berkeley area. Joe C

Laura has an incredible grasp on the Berkeley Market. She also is incredibly knowledgeable when it comes to identifying issues in disclosures as well as how to mitigate them. Even after closing Laura offers her time to assist with connecting us with reputable people in her network for any of our housing needs. I cannot recommend Laura enough!
Seller of 3560 Dwight Way, Oakland
Laura is an exceptional realtor whose wisdom, deep experience, talent, ability to work around challenges, and her honesty and candor garnered multiple offers on my home and a winning bid that was higher than I could have reasonably expected. She accomplished this by creatively addressing a few challenges on my home and property that other designers and a landscape architect were unable to meaningfully address. She also helped resolve a couple of permitting issues that had impeded putting my home on the market. But, even more than these, Laura’s wise counsel, her candor and impeccable honesty led me comfortably through the process of selling my home. She was always available to discuss my (sometimes neurotic) concerns, and allay my fears (or at least put them in perspective). Her insights on market timing, building interest in my home, evaluating offers, and navigating around a couple of issues that risked upsetting close of escrow were all invaluable. I interviewed about a half-dozen realtors before choosing Laura because she seemed the best choice by far, and even with those high expectations, she exceeded them. The actual cost of readying and staging my house for showing was significantly less than the other realtors I interviewed estimated, and I netted about 20% more from selling my home with Laura than the others believed I could get. Laura is not only someone whose great work yielded significant financial benefit, but she is also now someone who I consider a friend. I could not recommend her more highly.

Julie was an exceptional realtor. She was patient, persistent, knowledgeable and really encouraged us to wait for what we really wanted, rather than settling for something less than ideal. Highly recommended!
