"Laura is incredibly knowledgeable and was a terrific advocate on my behalf. I had originally met Laura when she first helped me find an apartment when I moved to Chicago and I reached out to her again years later to help me sell the Lincoln Park apartment I had bought because I was so impressed with her negotiation skills and her advocacy on my behalf. Knowing that I was a first time seller, Laura was exceptional at explaining the process to me and because I had moved out of state during the selling process, Laura was the one who let in maintenance crews to help prep the apartment for sale, gave me immediate feedback after every showing and open house and gave me such good advice about how to position myself within the market, that I know I got the best price possible for my apartment. She goes above and beyond for her clients and gives excellent advice for points to consider that you may not have thought of. I would highly recommend Laura for your real estate purchasing and selling needs." - KW

Her warm & friendly nature and informed knowledge of the market made what can be a stressful process into a comfortable experience especially for a first time homebuyer like myself. I was also appreciative of questions and situations she posed to me that I would never have thought of. In addition, her promptness in answering any and all of my questions did not go unnoticed.

"Laura was perfect for us as first-time homebuyers. She completely understood what we were looking for after feedback on a single round of property reviews, then helped us find an amazing house very quickly. She gave us very friendly but no-nonsense guidance, helped a ton with our understanding of the process, clearly knew what could and could not be negotiated, and hooked us up with an amazing network of mortgage brokers, inspectors, and more to make the whole process as smooth and easy as possible. Plus she was always quick in getting back to us about even minor questions. She was excellent, and we would highly recommend her to anyone!" - AW

★★★★★
"As a business executive with an extensive travel schedule, I couldn't be more pleased with the help Laura provided me and my family.

★★★★★
"Being a new Chicagoan, Laura did a fantastic job selecting rentals over a period a 3 months which would be in line with my expectations. On top of being patient and a good listener, she carefully took into account the my feedback and did not hesitate to advise me on where to look in Chicago. I really appreciated her availability for the rentals visits and outside of work to answer my questions. I would definitely recommend her to anyone coming to Chicago to settle." - M

★★★★★
"Laura helped my wife and I transition to Chicago for graduate school. She was recommended highly by fellow students and I'm so glad I met her. Laura took the time to understand our needs, to exhaustively look through listings for potential rentals, and to line up an itinerary for us that maximized our time with her (as we were visiting to look for places from out of town). She was patient, thorough, and creative with her ideas. We couldn't be more happy to have had her help in finding an awesome apartment!" - JK

★★★★★
"Couldn’t have asked for a more patient and knowledgeable agent. Laura helped me at every step of my home buying experience! She understood exactly what I was looking for and presented the best offers." - MR

★★★★★
"Very focused on finding out what was important to me in a home and narrowing the field for me. My immediate needs were modest, but when the bigger needs come in the near future, I trust her to help me get it done. On the ball, on time, courteous, organized. A joy." - DS

★★★★★
"Laura was absolutely great to work with. Having to move to Chicago from out of state (over the holidays, and on short notice) was challenging - but she made it happen. She was easy to work, extremely responsive, and flexible. I'd recommend her to anyone in the Chicago area." - U

★★★★★
"Laura is an amazing broker! We relocated to Chicago from Australia and Laura made the search for our new home absolutely seamless. Laura was available for Skype tours of homes when we were in Australia and in person when we moved to Chicago. She is extremely professional, personable and really understands what her clients are looking for in a home. We have absolutely no hesitation in recommending Laura in the search for a new home, both locally and internationally. Thank you Laura!" - DZ

★★★★★
"Laura is amazing -- My wife and I were moving from out of state and she helped us find our perfect home by giving us a list exactly within our budget and with what we wanted and scheduling all of our viewings on the only afternoon we could be in Chicago. I highly recommend using Laura for any of you... read more " - CF

★★★★★
"Laura was absolutely terrific throughout our home search, being quick to respond to queries and a pleasure to walk the homes with. She is extremely professional, courteous and took the time to listen to what we wanted. Her attention to detail ensured we got everything we wanted." - DB

★★★★★
"Laura was our realtor when we moved from the UK to Chicago. Her local knowledge of the market, the speed at which she arranged viewings or liaised with the various owners made the whole experience very easy for us. After just a week we had found our dream rental, and Laura had negotiated a great price for us. Owing to travel commitments, she enabled us to complete all the documentation once we had returned back to the UK and kept us informed of the few details at the property that needed ironing out before we moved to the city.
After we moved in, Laura checked up on us to make sure everything had been as expected, and even brought us a beautiful house warming gift (and cookies for the kids, which they loved!)
I would highly recommend Laura if you are considering an international relocation to Chicago, as she made sure the entire process went smoothly and easily. Nothing was too much for her, and we so appreciate the excellent experience she provided us. Thank you Laura!

"I started working with Laura at the end of January and closed on my condo at the end of April. Instantly I knew she was the best of the best. I was not surprised by Laura's professionalism throughout my entire home-buying experience, because during our first conversations I saw how organized and thoughtful she was. As a first time home-buyer I didn't always know what questions to ask during showings. Laura was great at asking important questions for me. That quickly built my trust in her. I also enjoyed working with Laura because she was unbelievably responsive. In my three month process there was never (NEVER) a time when I emailed Laura and she hadn't responded within a few hours. Once she helped me narrow down my options by location and price, I was selective about the city view I had envisioned and being on one of the top floors in a high rise building. I'm so grateful I found Laura, because despite my hard-to-find must haves she remained patient with me and reassured me that I would get what I wanted. Needless to say I got them! Laura has a client for life!!!" - B

★★★★★
"Laura was such a pleasure to work with. She went above and beyond to make this process smooth and pleasant for us. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking to sell/buy a home.

★★★★★
"I know Laura personally. I lived across the street from her for 3 years. I have no doubt that she gives her all to doing a professional and thoughtful home buying experience. She was there for me as my father was getting older and required more attention from my family. I would trust her for any dow... read more" - CC

"Ms. Laura England was extremely helpful in my relocation move from NYC to Chicago! Her awesome personality, knowledge of the City, section by section enabled us to have a seamless house hunting and lease execution within a week.
I will definitely look to work with Laura again within the next year when I'm ready to purchase real estate in the greater Chicago area.

"I have never met a realtor who truly works for you and with you, the buyer, until Laura England. I am very impressed with her unparalleled availability to me at any time of day (I am a physician and availability is crucial to me) and an unexpected generosity of not only her time, but even of her treasure. She has relinquished part of her professional fees when my family experienced a sudden 360 degree turn of events. What a kind and considerate person! In an age of corporate competitiveness and hungry pocket-filling, no one sees anyone like her anymore. She values heavily her clients' need for assistance in the midst of uncertainty and anxiety in decision-making, presenting and weighing out with me the pros and cons. Her business encounter with my family has quickly built this unwavering friendship that I know will expand and extend to years of long-lasting trust and confidence. She is a topnotch asset to any realty company, and would recommend her hands-down to anyone. After meeting her, consider yourself lucky. I wish she could show me houses or sell a few of my properties that are not located in the midwest. In summary, only 3 words for Laura: I LOVE HER." - R

★★★★★
"Laura was able to find multiple condos in Chicago within our price range within the first day of us viewing properties. We would have never found and bought the one we love if it wasn't for her. After living in the condo for some time, we had to move due to a new career opportunity, and she helped us rent out the condo to trusted tenants as well. In addition to that, she's so personable, honest, and really is able to find the best homes within your price range. I highly recommend working with her, because she really gets to know you and finds exactly what you're looking for!" - Z

★★★★★
"A little over a month ago we purchased our first condo and piece of real estate, thanks to the help of Laura. All the tireless work and extra assistance she had to give us as first-time home buyers was very much appreciated. Home buying is stressful and confusing, and we loved that we were always able to reach out to her for anything we needed explained. Always accessible either by email, text, or phone call Laura kept the home buying process moving for us and we were able to close within a little over a month after our official offer was placed! She's very familiar with the Chicagoland real estate market and offered us valuable input about the selection process that we always took into consideration. We couldn't be happier with Laura, and hope she's able to help us again with our all our future real estate needs!" - A

★★★★★
"I used Laura to find a home in the city as I was moving from the suburbs. She was absolutely wonderful to work with. She's very professional and having lived in Chicago for so many years, she's very knowledgeable about the housing market and neighborhoods here. Her best quality though is that she was almost always available to speak with either by phone or email. She's very responsive and clearly cares about her clients and their specific needs. I'd highly recommend her to anyone looking to buy or rent a home in Chicago." - J

"As first-time homebuyers, we could not have asked for a better realtor than Laura to help us through the process. We made the decision to purchase our condo relatively quickly, and received great support from search to close. Laura was quick to respond to any of our questions or concerns (and never made us feel stupid or silly for what we were asking -- although we're sure some of our questions were!), extremely accessible, and gave helpful direction and feedback every step of the way. We'd highly recommend her services to anyone." - K

"Laura was awesome to work with! I am from out of state and not familiar with the area. She is very knowledgeable about the neighborhoods, demographics, up & coming areas and about the Chicago market.

She made everything easy, from selecting the properties that best matched my needs, to negotiating with the landlord, to supervising the transaction. She made a very stressful process a pleasant one. I had spent weeks searching on several websites to get my dream home and ended up exhausted and confused. Laure sent me selected listings and we narrowed down the search significantly, to great results. She made me feel I wasn't alone in the process and affirmed my choices. I would recommend Laura to everyone who needs to ease the process of searching for a home and need expert help and support." - Marcela
