★★★★★
“Laurie did a fantastic job as my realtor. She's on top of everything and can really help draft a competitive offer. I wouldn't want anyone else helping me purchase a home.”
- Nour Chihwaro

★★★★★
“Laurie was a breeze to work with. As a first time home buyer she was always looking out for us and walked us through the process. I highly recommend it!”
- Mimi Nishiguchi

★★★★★
“Laurie has been my agent through two remarkably smooth condo purchases. On both occasions, I was able to buy on my first offer. I attribute this to Laurie’s prowess for negotiation and persuasion. She has a natural talent for understanding the needs of both the buyer and seller. She has my complete trust and has made my real estate process stress free. Additionally, she has a fantastic team behind her. Working with Laurie is a one stop shop to buying a home. As someone who knows very little about real estate, she has been able to answer all of my questions in a manner that makes sense to the common person. I have had the fortune of being very passive through this process because I trust her and her team so much. She has your best interest in mind above all else. If you need a real estate team in San Diego, look no further!”

“As a first time home buyer, working with Laurie was great. She helped me find my first home during one of the difficult housing markets we've seen. She was absolutely invaluable at helping me understand how the very complicated home buying process worked, always answered my very numerous questions, and was with me to help every step of the way, even for a little after the keys were in my hand.I would happily work with her again in the future, or recommend her to a friend who was looking to start their homeowner journey.”
- Matt Emch

“I cannot recommend my real estate agent in San Diego highly enough! As a first-time buyer in the USA, diving into the world of real estate was daunting, but from the moment I connected with Laurie Wakelam, I knew I was in capable hands. Laurie didn't just sell me a property; she guided me through every step of the process with unwavering professionalism and genuine friendliness. She took the time to understand my needs and aspirations, tailoring her service to match my desires perfectly. What truly sets Laurie apart is her dedication to providing a personalized service. She didn't just show me listings; she curated a selection of properties that aligned with my investment goals and lifestyle preferences. Her insight into the San Diego market was invaluable, and I felt confident with every decision thanks to her expertise. One of the most impressive aspects of working with Laurie was her responsiveness. No question was too small, no concern too insignificant- she was always there with a quick and helpful response, putting my mind at ease throughout the entire process. Thanks to Laurie Wakelam, I found my dream investment property in San Diego, and I couldn't be happier with the outcome. Once we closed, we were able to have a tenant move-in within a few days. If you're a first-time buyer or an experienced investor seeking personalized service and expert guidance, look no further than Laurie. She is not just a real estate agent; she is a partner in your journey to finding the perfect property. Thank you, Laurie, for going above and beyond to make my real estate dreams a reality!”

“Laurie was a dream to work with! She has so much knowledge of the current market and she doesn’t beat around the bush. She was honest and answered all our questions with detail and terms we were able to understand. This was our first investment property and it won’t be out last. If you’re looking for a smooth process and first rate service, Laurie is definitely your go to girl for San Diego real estate.”
- Michael Helgren

★★★★★
“Laurie did an exceptional job at supporting me in purchasing my first home. After meeting a handful of other agents who felt like pushy and sleazy used car salesmen who didn't have my best interest in mind, I was delighted to connect with Laurie who quickly gained my trust as an agent and as a person. As a first time home buyer, I highly recommend partnering with Laurie as your agent - she will not disappoint! I'm a first time home buyer and Laurie was the perfect agent for me - she provided deep education on the buying process including but not limited to walking through an offer and what the varying terms mean, the factors and levers that can be used to effectively bid and negotiate (and counter-offer), the ins and outs of home inspection, how to negotiate for request for repairs, and so much more. With Laurie in my corner, I effectively bid, counter-offered, and bought the first home I fell in love with after seeing homes for a few weeks. Laurie was on top of things at every juncture and made herself available for calls/in-person meetings and was very responsive to text messages. On top of being easy to work with, responsive, effective and knowledgeable, Laurie is a kind, thoughtful, and personable agent. In the future, when I am buying or selling, I would 100% reach back out to Laurie to be part of my transaction team. Thank you Laurie!”

About Laurie

Hi there! I’m Laurie, your go-to Realtor extraordinaire, and I’m on a mission to make your home buying journey as exciting and stress-free as possible. Originally hailing from the snowy streets of Buffalo, NY, I followed my dreams to the sunny beaches of San Diego, where I got to dive into my passion for real estate.

Imagine this, I bought not one, but two fabulous homes in Buffalo, all without the guiding hand of an agent. Now, while I cherish the adventures that led me to these homes, I couldn’t shake the feeling that something was missing- that sense of unwavering support and expertise that should accompany every step of the home-buying process.

And that is where I come in! As your local San Diego real estate aficionado, I’m here to ensure that your journey is not just a transaction, but an experience. I’m not just a Realtor; I’m your partner in turning your dream home fantasies into reality.

When I'm not showing you beautiful homes, I am teaching Lagree Fitness and Versa classes at local San Diego studios or cuddling my bernedoodle. I am also a professional synchronized swimmer, diving into pools all over SoCal as entertainment at events. That's right, I am a real life mermaid!
