Testimonials

Laura took exceptional care of us through the entire house hunting process. She was the consummate professional, giving us critical insight as we viewed houses. She represented us well in placing bids on 2 houses, one of which is now our home. I trusted her implicitly throughout the entire process, confident in her advice and guidance. She represents your company extremely well and I will absolutely advise my friends and family to use her and your company in either selling or buying estate. She is an absolute asset to your company!

Barbara Berte

Laura is an absolute rockstar! She went above and beyond for my wife and me, imparting so much wisdom about to town of Rye and surrounding areas and guiding us through the cutthroat buying process. In the end she wound up working some miracles and was able to help us land our perfect Rye starter home just in time for our first born to arrive. We recommend Laura to anyone who asks!

Dave Bailey

We are parents of three children and moved from Germany to New York six years ago with all our belongings, not really knowing how the home buying process works here or what to look out for. The only thing we did know was that we wanted to settle in Rye for our kids. Laura was by our side every step of the way. She was available at any time of the day, quickly understood what was important to us, what our budget was, and always took us seriously—even when we decided against a house. In the end, thanks to her, we found our home. Beyond that, she has always been there for us whenever we needed support. If we ever buy or sell a house again, it will only be with her!

Julia Koch

After our youngest child graduated from Rye High School it was time for us to downsize in Rye. We are friends with many realtors in Rye and had a difficult time choosing until we interviewed Laura. She was professional, encouraging, and eager. We needed someone who had a good understanding of the market - both for selling our larger home and for buying our next one. She was aggressive and detail oriented when she needed to be and patient as well. Laura really was the perfect choice on so many levels. After finding us a new home (which was akin to an olympic sport in our market), she organized, cleaned up and obsessed about our larger home. Our strategy, and her efforts, worked and helped us sell our house in 5 hours for $400k ABOVE asking!!! I have many stories to tell of her answering texts late at night or racing to our house to check on the pool at 7:00am for a photo shoot. She was the perfect realtor and professional on every level. Thank you Laura!!!

Beth & Neil Townsend

Laura was wonderful to work with and helped us find the perfect place to call home. She was patient, professional, and responsive throughout the entire search. After the move, she was extremely resourceful and helped us get settled into Rye and the broader community. Laura was a joy to work with!

Kevin & Meghan Smith

Laura is very patient, professional, knowledgeable and a pleasure to work with.
