Testimonials

Our home search began with a one-year-old in tow buying our first home with the desired location being Southern Marin. We identified a duplex in Sausalito in an A1 location. Laurie, savvy to renovation costs, dissuaded us from the property and pivoted in a week to a home so ideally located in downtown Mill Valley with a vintage farmhouse aesthetic – the home spoke to us instantly. Despite the use of numerous search engines, we had no awareness of this property! Negotiation was also in play after inspections, and you navigated deftly. Laurie hit the mark as our Agent in every way imaginable.

We met Laurie at an open house in San Rafael and appreciated her low-key approach and consistent communication as we anticipated a lifestyle change moving from San Francisco. Laurie wrote an offer for one home (we did not get) and we were assured the next property would be a better fit, and it turned out to be so - with a location much better suited to our retirement. Laurie put us in contact with a sharp mortgage broker who organized the bridge loan so we could make our move before we sold our San Francisco home. Everything went as smooth as possible - we could not be happier with the process and results. As a side note, thank you also for guiding us toward a better listing agent for the sale of our home. We were working with a “Neighborhood Specialist” when Laurie reviewed the marketing which was not yielding results. Thanks to Laurie’s input, we redirected and had an infinitely better experience with very good results.

Laurie, thank you for a great job securing our first family home in Mill Valley. You were very patient steering us away from problematic homes in the search process. Then when the home we wanted to make the offer on was identified, we navigated our purchase negotiations very independently and without pressure – in a crazy Seller’s market. Your gentle, intelligent guidance enabled making a very positive decision for our young family - while minimizing stress. We feel very fortunate to have gotten this charming home ideally located.

Laurie, when listing our home, you did a beautiful job picking finishes for our Pacific Heights condominium and creating a great sale with a very smooth, organized process. The transaction was seamless, and the renovation was beautiful with no detail left to chance. We are so delighted, too, with the purchase of our Peacock Gap home – and it was quite an adjustment moving from San Francisco. We were floored to hear you got a call from an appraiser asking, ‘how come the home closed at such a reasonable price?’ Thank you for getting great results both selling and purchasing in this CRAZY market.

With exceptional guidance, marketing and sales skills, Laurie sold my home just before the pandemic shelter in place order began. Laurie’s marketing and sales acumen was spot on along with her high attention to detail (including marketing that was far superior to the development’s). I was also quite impressed with Laurie’s dedication showing the property at 9pm on her birthday, no less, which produced the offer. The service and attention to detail from Laurie is second to none in my experience, and I have bought and sold luxury property 24 times.

Thank you so much, Laurie, for helping Dave and I find our dream home outside of Lake Tahoe. This is a beautiful new chapter in our lives together and your referral to a top-notch agent in our market was invaluable. The page has turned beautifully since you helped me sell my Victorian in Nicasio several years ago under very stressful circumstances. The comfort you bring to real estate dealings is wonderful.

For all the horror stories of Buyers repeatedly, ‘not getting the house’ in this hyper-competitive market, we are still dumbfounded that we got our dream home (!!!!!!) on the first offer we wrote while competing against 9 other offers. That we got our offer accepted without being cash or the highest price, speaks volumes to your negotiation talent and reputation in the market. Also, your transformation getting our home ready for sale was remarkable… I never imagined it looking so beautiful and with a modest investment. Honestly, you and your team did amazing work!

Thank you, Laurie, for your referral and support during my land sale in Arizona. Not only did you refer me to a land sale specialist in the area, but you also shadowed the offers with me and gave valuable insight. Your efforts put me at ease and your direction to an expert was most appreciated.

Laurie, your patient and restrained approach to selling my family home after our mother’s passing was most appreciated. Most recently, you patiently helped us find an investment property which took over a year. Thank you for sending over the property the day it hit the market and while on vacation. We got our offer in and we prevailed over eight other offers. We have now transacted three real estate transactions in Marin and are always impressed by your dedication, thorough and personable approach.
