★★★★★
"Laurel is an excellent realtor agent. She is available almost any time of the day when you call her day and even during evening/weekend to answer your questions and make progress on the deal. She does her best to get you closer to your dream home and we are really satisfied with her job to find our house. Absolutely recommended!" - Hamed

★★★★★
"Laurel helped me to get my house on the market and sell it within 6 months after my husband's death. It was extremely stressful time, and I can't emphasize enough how Laurel's long experience, extraordinary patience, quick responsiveness, knowledge of the market, and outstanding integrity got me through. And to an extremely good result -- we got an offer 3 days after the house went on the market, and Laurel's negotiation skills persuaded the buyers to raise their offer substantially!"

★★★★★
"Laurel always has a calm perspective and truly cares about people and what their needs are, she is just an all around good person you can trust and talk to."

★★★★★
"Laurel sold our house in Oak Park in record time. She was aggressive in her pricing and able to get a solid offer much higher than we had anticipated. She is easy and fun to work with." - Janice

★★★★★
"I used Laurel to sell my house in the 'burbs and to buy a condo in the city after the death of my husband. I moved to the condo before selling the house, and then fixed up the 100+-year-old house for sale. Laurel's level and quality of service were extraordinary. She found providers and suppliers, scheduled workers, let construction people in and out of the house, made follow up and reminder calls as necessary, etc. etc. She was detailed, organized, calm and very, very competent. She was a lifesaver! I can't recommend her highly enough!" - Lee
