"Laura Coutts is fantastic! She knows the market and goes above and beyond to help her clients. Laura recently listed my elderly mom's house in Mendham. We live out of state and were worried about how we would handle it when things needed to be done. Laura made those things less challenging with her extensive list of contractors/handymen. She made having/getting things done pretty much stress-free for us. Laura spent time with us reviewing what we needed to do to make the house easier to sell. She didn’t go overboard but pointed out things that needed to be done. She also pointed out things that would make selling the house a challenge and other things that would make it easy to sell. She had professional videography and pictures done showing what you wouldn’t see if you just walked into the yard. She coordinated and met those people at the house so the work could be done. She also kept us appraised of the jobs being done. We were amazed when the house sold over the listing price within ten days of having been listed. Laura Coutts is not just a Realtor; she’s a full-service Realtor and a gem." - NANCY WELLS AND BARBARA BARTH | SELLERS | MENDHAM
