    Client Testimonials:

    ★★★★★
    "Thanks to Laura's knowledgeable counsel and acumen, my wife and I sold our house, on favorable terms, in less than two weeks. Laura then worked tirelessly to find us the perfect spot for our new home (she helped us negotiate a lease back of our old house and timed everything perfectly for our purchase). A great experience all the way around."

    ★★★★★
    "We were incredibly grateful to leverage Laura's sharp market insights, extensive industry connections, and strong negotiating skills for two home purchases and a home sale in Maryland and DC. In addition to being an experienced and savvy agent, Laura is extremely warm and compassionate. She connects with her clients on a personal level, truly cared about meeting our family's needs, and makes the experience enjoyable and exciting."

    ★★★★★
    "We absolutely LOVED working with Laura. She held true to a "no-pressure" approach and was such a wonderful listener. We always felt that she had our wants and needs at the forefront of her mind throughout the process. Laura helped us sell our home - working with us to showcase it in such a way that resulted in a bidding war and then a contract just 48 hours after we went to market! We were impressed with Laura's negotiation savvy and delighted that she reached a deal that was above our asking price. Laura also helped us find our new home on our dream street. We thought it was impossible, but Laura went above and beyond to make it a reality for us. She was, again, excellent at negotiating this transaction as well. We are still so thankful to her for her help and expertise with this process to this day! We couldn't have asked for a more responsive, attentive, and dedicated agent. She made what was a complicated and emotional process one that was easy and enjoyable - thanks to her hard work and because of who she is. Not only were we delighted with Laura as our agent, but we looked forward to every outing we spent with her. She is so warm, prepared, down-to-earth, and funny. We cannot recommend her highly enough!"

    ★★★★★
    "Laura has sold a house for us and was also our agent for the purchase of our new home. She had clearly done her research on our submarket and she carefully priced the sale of our home. Her efforts were well planned and resulted in a bidding war, and ultimately in the sale of our home at a price above our asking price. On the purchase, Laura was realistic, but aggressive and was creative in crafting a unique offer that met our goals. On a more personal note, Laura was a pleasure to work with. She truly listened to us and focused on what was most important to us. She was knowledgeable and comforting during what could be a highly stressful time. I highly recommend Laura! Whether you are buying or selling, you will not be disappointed with Laura. She is a very hard-working, smart, creative, and fun person."

    ★★★★★
    "Laura was a pleasure to work with during our house hunt and did an excellent job walking us through the home-buying process. She has a great understanding of the neighborhoods in the NW DC area and can give you an excellent indication of what true home values are throughout the area. She took the time to gain an understanding of exactly what type of house we were looking for at the start of our search. Laura also has great recommendations for home inspectors and mortgage brokers to facilitate the closing process."

    ★★★★★
    "I've had the privilege of working with Laura on two separate occasions - as a buyer and most recently as a seller. Both experiences were flawless and easy! Laura and her staff walked me through every step of the process, were available to answer any and all of my questions, and worked hard to get the job done. In fact, Laura was on vacation with her family when I purchased my current home! Despite being thousands of miles away, she managed to pull together a winning contract. I'm certain that without her knowledge and expertise, it never would have happened. I would recommend Laura Steuart to anyone looking for an agent without hesitation!"

    ★★★★★
    "Laura assisted us with the purchase of our home in Chevy Chase, Maryland. There were several other offers in play and it was Laura’s sharp skills that secured the contract for us. Laura understands the MD/VA/DC area real estate market, is knowledgeable about the neighborhoods, and takes the time to understand her clients and what they are seeking in a home. Working in residential real estate myself, I knew Laura was the perfect balance of what we were seeking in an agent: warm and approachable, with a shrewd business sense and great communication throughout the process. Most importantly, she sincerely cares. Working with Laura made an experience that can often be stressful a very enjoyable one. I would highly recommend her."
