" Laura’s focused approach, attention to detail, and tenacious advocacy was a huge part of our successful purchase. In an area rife with realtors, Laura shines brightest. She does not force her opinion, nor drive emotional bids for her clients. She’s proven to be much more a confidant and friend than professional contact. If you want authenticity, professionalism and care, look no further than Laura. You can’t do any better than her, but certainly could do a lot worse! "

★★★★★
"Laura stands out from a very “transactional” crowd of agents in Fairfield County. While we got above ask in under a week selling our house in Rowayton, it really was how genuine Laura is that makes her unique and trustworthy. Her eye for presenting / staging a house added $10s of Ks to the offer we received (no joke). She’s simply great at what she does. I like to ask on reference calls - “Would you work with them again?” In this case, undoubtedly yes."
★★★★★
"Laura was incredibly knowledgeable about the Fairfield CT County area, was very responsive, and did a great job letting me search for homes without 'getting in the way' or imposing her style. She gave great advice on what buyers value, and what 'quirks' of any house could be changed or updated. Finally, for a buyer new to the area, she has a large portfolio of contacts (everything from tradespeople to local restaurants), that helped me become more familiar with the local area…quickly."
★★★★★
"Laura did an outstanding job finding us a home. She was very patient, immediately responded to each issue that came up and was a strong advocate for us. She negotiates skillfully and gives sound advice, including ideas about small tweaks that could be done to the house we eventually purchased. She also had numerous contacts we used throughout the process and continue to use. We would recommend Laura to anyone looking to buy or sell a home!"
