Laura and her team were an absolute pleasure to work with. Laura gave us great suggestions on how to prepare our home for the listing and she was very responsive at all decision points during the selling process. We highly recommend Laura!
We went from listing to closing in less than 34 days! We were very pleased with the service especially since we were conducting business from another state in our new home.
Laura sold our home to us 16 years ago and we asked her to sell our for us this time. She went out of her way everyday to make sure we knew everything that was going on. The home had an offer on it in less than a week and she assisted from the beginning to the closing and after the closing. I would highly recommend her and her team.
Did an amazing job selling our home. Laura went above and beyond to help us out in any way she possibly could. We couldn't have asked for a better realtor. She answered any questions we had and always had our best interest at heart. She jumped on any chance to have an open house and helped us sell our home with the little time frame we had. If you're ever in need of a realtor, I would highly recommend Laura and her team.
Laura loves her job and it shows. She puts her clients best interest first and listens (I mean she listens). To say she goes above and beyond for her clients is an understatement. She is there morning to night to weekends answering your questions, negotiating or just to listen. Our home sat on the market for 6 months with little to no activity with a prior agent. A friend recommended Laura and it was the best decision we made. She recommended inexpensive changes that made our home look fantastic and appeal to the buyers. Our home sold! If you’re looking for a real estate agent, contact Laura. She is the best!
Laura was very professional, courteous and responsive in helping me sell my house. There were some unforseen challenges on my house being sold due to the federal loan program the buyers used being held up due to covid-19, and Laura maintained a helpful attitude throughout and was willing to be assertive with the lenders and even set up a call between myself and the loan officer to alleviate some mounting anxiety I had. I would recommend her to family or friends in the Baton Rouge area.
Wonderful experience with Laura! I strongly recommend her because is proactive, knowledgeable, honest, and hard-working. She understands every facet of the business and always gave me the best advice. Will definitely use her again. BTW - she’s surrounded by a great group of people in her office as well.
Great realtor!!! Laura is extremely professional and knowledgeable when it comes to real estate. She guided me through the whole process of selling my home. I highly recommend her and her team.
After hiring an agent for a six month contract with hardly any showings and no success. I contacted Laura to meet with me. She stated at the meeting that she would sell my Condo in a week. Having a sour taste from the previous contract, I was skeptical at best that she would sell it that soon. Well six days later I had a signed offer not to mention that I had about six showings within that six day period. Laura is the Bomb.Com of Baton Rouge Realtors and it was a pleasure working with her.
Laura is fabulous! She was so helpful with selling and buying. Great recommendations for making changes to get the best price on selling. I can’t say enough good things!
