"Laura Buffone is an unbelievable real estate agent. My husband and I were literally blown away by her wealth of knowledge about the LA real estate market. She puts %100 into her job and her passion for her work is evident in her 7 day per week work schedule! Laura knows her stuff and definitely isn’t your typical agent–she is an absolute expert on this area and market. No question stumps her and she thinks of everything when negotiating with sellers and developing strategies. She responds to calls and emails promptly and we always feel like we are getting VIP treatment! I always feel like she has our best interests at heart and she really takes the time to consider our personal needs when recommending specific properties. Plus, Laura has a great personality and sense of humor, which really helps when making a huge decision to purchase a home. You really can’t find a better agent if you are looking in the Venice/Santa Monica/Mar Vista neighborhoods!" - Melissa

"Laura is the best agent I have ever known! I met her at an open house more than a year ago in the building where we ultimately bought a condo. She was showing a unit, which I loved, but my husband and I weren’t ready at that point to buy. I had a great chat with Laura about the building and she said she’d call me later if another unit became free. Sure, enough Laura called me months later. I was so impressed and decided to work with her right then and there. She is incredibly knowledgable and explains all the details of home buying very well. She’s hard working and listens, and isn’t pushy. We ultimately got our condo in the building where we first met, because Laura and her partner Brian worked so hard to get us through the escrow process and past a few hiccups. They also got us great price! And they were very careful about checking all the boxes in the buying process, making sure we got a great home. Couldn’t recommend her more." - Whitney

"First off I have to say that Laura is an amazing real estate agent. When my wife and I first met Laura she spent a few hours with us walking through the local markets and helping us define a strategy for purchasing a home. She provided us with personalized suggestions of places on the market and made sure we knew about upcoming open houses. She routinely went with us to open houses and answered any questions we had. Laura is very professional and is always a quick call, text, or email away. She's great when it comes to putting together offers, explaining the offer details, and is an effective negotiator. I would highly recommend Laura to anyone, she's the real deal and will go to the mat for you during your home purchase or sale." - Christian

"Laura facilitated our first-ever home buying experience. She took a long, intimidating process and broke everything into smaller steps, walking us through each step one at a time, and continually telling us what was coming next. Throughout the process, we literally had hundreds of questions, some of which we asked six or seven times, and Laura answered every single one with the utmost patience (even when she had already answered it before). No question was too small, too involved, or too repetitive.
Laura is extremely approachable and easy to work with, but she's also super tough at the negotiating table. She helped us secure a deal that we never thought was possible and that put us in our dream home. Her professionalism, expertise, warm personality, and impressive span of knowledge make for a truly unbeatable combination.
We have recommended Laura to several friends who have been equally pleased with her work, and we would recommend her to anyone seeking a positive and worry-free real estate experience.

"Laura sold me my first home and it was as seamless of an experience as I could've hoped for. Not only was she very knowledgeable about the pricing of the neighborhoods, her relationships with other realtors really helped us get the home as there were multiple offers on the table. She also helped with things that realtors aren't obliged to do such as recommendations for handymen, loan officers etc. I recommend all my friends and co-workers to her!"
