Laurel was amazing during my home purchase process. She was patient with me, reliable at any time, very knowledgeable, and resourceful. As a first time home buyer, I was very doubting about the entire process but, she simplified it for me from the beginning to the end. She enabled me and my 2 boys to get our desired house. I would recommend Laurel to anyone looking to buy or rent especially in Oak Park and the west suburbs of Illinois. Thank you Laurel!

Laurel was so easy to work with! She was transparent with me about every stage of the process, which was helpful for me going through this as a single first-time buyer. She was flexible, communicative, punctual. She was a dream to work with!

Laurel was amazing throughout the process. She answered every dumb question I had and helped guide me through a surprisingly smooth home purchase. Every recommendation she made was top notch and her input was always useful. I hope I never have to buy a home again, but if I do I would want to do it with Laurel's masterful help.
She was the best, most optimistic, real agent I have had the pleasure to work with. She was very informative on the process and gave me helpful advice in terms of asking me questions on what kind of home I would like.

Laurel is an excellent, prompt communicator who has patience, and a deep knowledge of real estate. She represented me very well as both a seller and a buyer. She has a team ready to assist the client with all aspects of buying or selling a property. I especially appreciated that Laurel took initiative with supplying all parties (real estate broker, attorneys, inspectors, realtors) with all of the information that they needed to do their jobs. Even though I am a very detail-oriented person, Laurel often anticipated my actions and concerns, and advocated on my behalf when I overlooked certain insights or issues as a first-timer seller. She expertly measured the market, and made very helpful suggestions for me to sell my condo. Within days of listing my condo, I had several strong offers, and I had a contract within a week. I could have not asked for a better experience, and I will look Laurel up when want to buy a condo. During my search for a home, Laurel was patient as I suspended my search during uncertainty about mortgage rates, and as I inspected different properties and had several false starts. In the end, I found a house suitable to my needs and budget.
