They were incredibly responsive, always available to answer questions and address concerns quickly. Their experience showed in every step -- from the prep work they did upfront to position us for the best possible outcome, to the way they navigated any issues that came up along the way. We trusted Laura and Kelly and were happy with the results. We would recommend them to anyone looking to buy or sell a home -- you'll be in great hands. read more

Laura is absolutely amazing! I have been following her home sales across the Peninsula for years, so when we were ready to sell our home in San Carlos, I knew immediately she was our number one choice. Selling a home can be incredibly stressful, but Laura made the process seamless. She connected us with fantastic professional help for painting and carpet installation, and her market expertise was invaluable. Her timing and pricing strategies were impeccable, allowing us to sell our home in record time, with total ease, and despite a challenging market. Thank you Laura!! We highly recommend Laura for anyone looking to buy or sell a home in the Peninsula! read more

We found Laura through a local parents' group, where she came highly recommended for her expertise in the San Carlos real estate market. Laura's strong presence and connections are invaluable in today's market, as she's constantly aware of which homes are coming on the market and potential buyers for our home. When Laura came to see our property, she immediately dived in--educating us about her strategy and the best timing to sell. What made the selling process even more streamlined was that she had a team of contractors on hand to help prepare the home for sale and maximize its value. You can truly see Laura's dedication to her work in the way she frequently stops by our property to ensure it remains clean and presentable. We couldn't have asked for a better agent to sell our home for top dollar--her strategy is key to making any home she touches stand out. read more

Working with Laura was an exceptional experience from beginning to end. As we decided to downsize from our longtime home in Atherton and move to Menlo Park, we knew we needed someone we could trust, someone who understood the housing market, and us. Laura was that person and more.   She helped us find our dream home in Menlo Park, a place that checked every box and felt right from the moment we walked in. Laura was tireless in her efforts, thoughtful in her approach, and always had our best interests at heart. She has an incredible ability to listen and truly understand what her clients are looking for, and then she delivers.   In addition to helping us purchase our new home, Laura also expertly managed the sale of our Atherton property. Her strategy, market knowledge, and professionalism ensured a successful and smooth transaction. She anticipated every step, answered every question patiently and clearly, and kept us informed and confident throughout the process.   Her intelligence, experience, grace, and integrity set Laura apart. She made what could have been a stressful and emotional time feel manageable and even exciting. Her calm presence, thoughtful guidance, and unwavering dedication made all the difference.   We are so grateful to Laura not just as our realtor, but as a dear friend. We couldn't have asked for a better partner during this chapter of our lives, and we recommend her wholeheartedly to anyone looking to buy or sell a home. read more

I had never met Laura Bertolacci, when I decided to sell my home in San Carlos, but I had heard her name in a very positive light, repeatedly by several friends/family who I trusted. After our first meeting, I knew I had found my agent. Laura guided me on where to put my energy into getting my home ready for the market. She worked closely with the stager, even bringing her own personal touches. Laura made the entire process so easy; while taking the time to understand how emotional it is to sell the home you raised your family in. When I received my offer she gave me her thoughts, but with absolutely no pressure. She ensured that I was completely confident in my decision. I highly recommend Laura Bertolacci for buying or selling a home. read more

We wanted to express our deep appreciation to Laura for the way she professionally and skillfully facilitated the sale of our parents' condo. She made everything as easy as one could expect and hope for with a real estate transaction, especially when we as sellers were doing it all remotely. You could tell she's done this many times before and has a good system. She handled all the details smoothly and promptly, gave us appropriate phone numbers to call when needed, had good and reasonable vendors at the ready, arranged for the appropriate repairs, arranged for effective and reasonably priced staging, made document signing easy and convenient, and gave good advice in terms of what to repair and what could be left as is. Critically, she was able to read the market and guide us in terms of pricing and strategy. All put together, these elements helped maximize the price we were able to get, and in a reasonable timeframe. We were very happy with the entire experience, as well as the result. Thank you, Laura! read more

If you are looking to work with an agent who understands the market, knows undisclosed details of every location, and will prioritize you as a client - you can find no one better than Laura Bertolacci. She is fantastic at what she does. She took the time to get to know us and understand our requirements. She promised that she would find us the perfect home and worked relentlessly until she delivered on that promise. Her goal was not just to get us to close on the house, but to get us to close on the RIGHT home - this was apparent when she stopped us from making offers on homes that had shortcomings that we had overlooked. Her positive energy kept us hopeful that we would find the right home, even in the bleakest moments in this extremely competitive market. One of her most commendable attributes is that during the entire process, she made us feel like we were her only clients (and we know for a fact that we weren't). She has an expansive network of contacts and is well respected in this industry. We know that our journey with Laura does not end with finding our home as she will forever remain our go to person for any of our property related needs. Thank you Laura!! read more

If I could give Laura more stars....I would. I had to sell a house in RWS, when I live over two hours away. I couldn't have asked for a better agent. Laura took care of everything and I worried about nothing. She ran everything past me first, kept an eye on everything and was always very responsive when I had a question. I couldn't recommend her more. Thanks Laura for all of your help!! read more

We chose Laura as our selling agent for our Belmont home given her impressive background of experience selling homes in the Belmont/San Carlos area. Overall we had a good experience, but some things could have gone better. Pros: -The staging company she recommended did a nice job, so the house showed very well. -She checked on the house at the end of everyday to make sure everything was locked up and secure. -Very straightforward and upfront with costs, contracts, etc. -We were able to get a good price for the sale of our home. Cons -Our initial communications were great, but as we got closer to open house weekend and getting our home ready for viewing, communication was at times brief and lacking. -We used her contractors to paint the interior of the house. The quality of the work was not great (e.g. didn't paint behind some of the furniture so when we moved things for staging we had to paint those areas ourselves, closed doors with wet paint so when we opened them the paint stuck and pulled off, etc). -They pressure washing of outside patios/concrete was a bit of a disaster. -The house didn't get listed on the MLS, Redfin, Zillow, etc until the day of our first open house. It would have been nice to have gotten it listed more in advance for better marketing. -There was some confusion about how long the staging furniture had to stay in the house, so we had to scramble to find a place to stay until the staging could be removed. read more

Laura helped us sell our home in Redwood City, and we could not be happier with our experience. We selected Laura over several other agents based on her great presence in Redwood City and experience houses similar to ours. She really shined in helping get our house ready to sell. She had contractors and other professionals ready to complete all projects on our list in a timely manner. Prep and staging was also a breeze for us. When we were ready to sell, the process was seamless - from inspections and disclosures to listing and eventual close. We got a lot of interest in the house and we wound up with a terrific price. We highly recommend Laura. read more

As a real estate investor I have been buying and selling properties for quite some time, and every time my experience working with Laura has been nothing but smooth and professional. She is very down to details and very thorough, sometimes I feel like she cares about my properties more than I do, LOL. I really respect her project management skills as well as her negotiation power. Highly recommend her to anyone who is looking for a good realtor. read more

Laura Bertolacci was the quintessential professional from beginning to end. She invited us into a vision for selling our home that was beyond what we imagined. She knew what it would take to quickly sell our home, and she was spot on! Laura and her expansive team transformed our 1990's home into being inviting and modern. Her relationships, positioning and sales strategies set us up to receive multiple offers within days of listing. We so appreciate Laura and her wisdom, expertise and commitment to excellence.

It is such a joy to write a review for Laura, who recently helped us buy our first home. My husband and I interviewed four well-established realtors before meeting Laura, and we quickly got the impression that she was the perfect combination of savvy, well-connected, committed, and communicative. She exceeded every expectation we had. Buying our first home in a competitive market could have been overwhelming, but Laura made the entire process seamless. From start to finish, Laura was incredibly organized, thorough, and responsive. She was always available to answer our questions and offered thoughtful and astute advice. Laura got things done at an amazingly efficient pace, but never sacrificed quality of her work-- she's just very on top of things and very knowledgable! Laura also seems to know absolutely everyone in the industry, and it's clear that she's highly respected by clients and colleagues alike. We had several ancillary folks remark how lucky we were to have Laura in our corner. I'm confident that our bid was accepted because of her approach, knowledge of the market, and relationships. Lastly, Laura strikes the perfect balance of being direct and decisive while still being warm and personable in every interaction. It's always gratifying and inspiring to work with someone who has clearly found the perfect profession for them. Laura not only clearly loves what she does, but she excels in every aspect of it. We couldn't have asked for a better realtor. If you're looking for someone who's sharp, trustworthy, responsive, and an absolute pleasure to work with, you need Laura. read more

We are an experience banker and lawyer, who have handled hundreds of real estate transactions on behalf of our clients but when forced with selling our fathers home, we didn't know anyone in San Carlos to help us. We interviewed a number of realtors and were immediately impressed by Laura's professionalism and enthusiasm. Laura made helpful suggestions as how we could maximize the selling price of the home. Her suggestions were right on and she handled all of the details and getting the home updated and ready. The home sold quickly, and the closing with Laura's guidance went smoothly. We could not be happier or more satisfied with Laura's efforts on our behalf. We recommend Laura to anyone trying to buy or sell real estate in the San Carlos area. read more

Laura has been an amazing real estate agent for us. From our initial conversation we trusted that she would be the right agent to help us find a home in the competitive Peninsula market and she easily exceeded our expectations. Laura is extremely proactive, and her deep experience, understanding of market conditions and extensive network gave us access to opportunities that helped us find the home we were looking for. We found our home faster than hoped, and she made the purchase process very smooth and seamless for us. Her attention to detail and professionalism are outstanding, and her reputation and working relationships with industry professionals certainly helped as well. Post purchase, she's been just as responsive and helpful as we turned to her for advice on various matters. I would recommend Laura whole-heartedly as a Buyer agent in a heartbeat, read more

Laura is absolutely wonderful to work with. We would highly recommend using Laura when purchasing or selling a home. 2 months ago, Laura helped purchase our first house in Walnut Creek during a very competitive market. She is driven and knows how to achieve what a client is looking for. Laura is well known and respected by other top real estate professionals in the community. She provided great recommendations on improvements that will potentially maximize the value of our home. We are so grateful for all she did to make our experience such a success. Thank you, Laura & Team!!! read more

My realtor did an excellent job from start to finish. She assembled a great team of workers from all trades who were very reasonable. They helped get the place looking its best without spending a fortune. She gave good advice on what needed to be done, and I let her take charge. Her judgment was spot on. Thanks to her full-service approach, I didn't have to manage anything, including staging and updating the place to make it more modern. My unit sold for the full asking price within just a few days of hitting the market. I wouldn't hesitate to use her services again if I had another property to sell. Highly recommended! read more

Selling our mother's home was going to be a huge challenge. Most of us lived far away, the house was full of stuff, and lots of things needed TLC. Laura was recommended to us by a family friend and we could not be happier with the journey and with the outcome. Laura has a great team of vendors to address every possible issue, from roof to floors to landscaping, from major projects to cosmetic-the team was quick to respond, did excellent work, and was very competitively priced. She communicated every step, which was especially comforting given our distance. It's difficult to imagine a smoother experience, from our initial contact through the closing of escrow. If you are looking for someone with tons of experience, an accurate perception of the market, and who will be with you at every step, you need to seriously consider Laura. She's the best! read more

We cannot thank Laura enough for all her help and expertise during our recent home purchase. With her years of experience and connections in the area, she made our search and the whole process from offer to close very seamless. Her great rapport with all the area real estate agents also really helped us in the offer process. Laura gave us advice all along and continued helping us afterwards with sending us information on vendors who could help us with upgrades we planned to make on our new home and answered questions we had about various topics home related. We are so thankful to have found Laura and her associate Kelly to help us through this very important stage in life. Couldn't have asked for a better agent! read more

After interviewing several agents I knew right away Laura was the right one to use for selling my house after living in it for 31 years. She is a consummate professional. Her quiet but "laser focused" demeanor combined with decades of experience and vast market knowledge gave me full confidence. She had the right vision of what needed to be improved to yield a quick "high value" sale. Behind her is a true "team" of assistants, contractors & vendors she's worked with for years that bring together everything in a quick and thorough fashion. Laura was always in communication and rarely did I feel like she had other customers. I felt she always had my best interest in mind. The result was we received 9 offers and the house sold in 6 days at almost 20% over asking. A perfect success. I have and will continue to highly recommend Laura. Dan P. 4/03/2024 read more

Laura is an amazing realtor. She is far beyond other ordinary realtors only focus on "transactions". She truly has our interest in mind not only for items directly related to the transactions but all other aspects that will make great differences in these very stressful times: Seamless organizations of logistics, unparalleled rolodex of vendors and contacts along with attention to detail on our preferences, specific circumstances and challenges. We have both sold and bought the houses with Laura and would highly recommend her. We can not imagine a better realtor than Laura. read more

We would like to thank Laura for all of the work she did in getting our property to close for us very fast. She made house searching so easy for us, all we had to do is tell her what we were looking for and she did all the work including showing us off market houses!! She really goes above and beyond her duties to help you find your house and making sure everything is safe for you and your family! We couldn't have asked for a better realtor than Laura! We would recommend her to all and everyone who is searching for their perfect and good quality home. We give her a big thanks for everything! read more

I would be hard pressed to imagine a better real estate experience than working with Laura Bertolacci. Her knowledge of the market and the selling process was exceptional. Her attention to detail was exceptional. The amount of effort she put into selling our home was exceptional. Add to that her always positive attitude and we're-in-this-together mindset, and again, I just can't imagine a better experience. She is an absolute All Star! read more

I am planing to leave the area soon, so I need someone who can help me sell the house quickly. And because of Covid, I need someone who can take care of all the cleaning, repairing, and staging without me being there. It turned out Laura is the person who can do 200% of what I need! After I handed over the key, she was able to handle everything, and sold the house in a month. Thank you Laura! read more

If we could give Laura ten stars, we would! As co-trustees of our mother's estate, my sisters and I were entrusted with the responsibility of selling our family home and a rental property that had been in the family for decades. The task initially felt overwhelming, as both properties needed renovations prior to listing them for sale. From our first consultation with Laura, the three of us knew we were in very capable hands. Laura stepped in with sensitivity and compassion for our loss and a clear vision of how to honor our mother in the process of settling her estate. Throughout the process, Laura exceeded our expectations every step of the way. Her work ethic and attention to detail are beyond compare. Laura really knows the Bay Area real estate market and gave us excellent guidance and advice from day one. We were constantly amazed by her ability to coordinate with her extensive team of dependable workers to transform both properties in a timely manner. She is an exceptionally hard-working real estate professional, who was always available to answer questions and make sure various projects stayed on track. Day or night, weekends and holidays, she was there for us. From start to finish, every vendor she hired was conscientious and reliable. She was also highly skilled in navigating the complexities of selling properties held in trust, while coordinating with multiple trustees. In the end, both properties looked amazing and sold very quickly. We are forever grateful for the guidance and advice Laura and her team offered our family this past year. We honestly don't know how we would have managed without her. We highly recommend using Laura for your real estate needs as she has a proven record of achieving the best possible outcome for her clients. We sincerely appreciate all that she has done for us! The Maguire Family read more

Laura agreed to work with us in perhaps the most competitive year for Bay Area real estate (2021!) and not only did she help us get our dream home but also helped us sell our earlier home. Having worked with 2 other realtors in the Bay Area previously, we can safely say we hit gold with Laura. She took the time to understand our needs and what we were looking for in our home and ensured we were first in line to see homes that could meet our needs. The finishing touch was her helping us land a fantastic property off-market. Laura has an amazing team who supports her across contractors, painters, stagers and managing the vast amount of paperwork that comes with real estate transactions. Throughout the process of buying and selling with her, we felt like we were working with a friend who we could lean on for genuine advice. Laura is thorough, thoughtful and detail oriented and she's one of the few partners who would truly look out for you! read more

Laura Bertolacci and I met several years ago when I hired her to sell my rental property. She gave me great suggestions on what I needed to update to get top dollar for the house. Which we indeed did!! The decision to sell my home of 26 years a was tough and emotional one for me. Laura had done such a wonderful job for me previously, I knew I had to work with her again. She is so supportive and understands, selling or buying a house can be a very trying time. She always returned my calls or texts promptly with great answers/solutions to my concerns. Laura and I thought it would be good for me to move to my new location and rent a place. That way she could have the house to show and I could look for a perfect home for me to purchase. While packing the moving truck, I realized I had a lot of items I no longer wanted. Laura said "just leave them and I will dispose of them for you." That was life-saving for me as time was an issue at this point. Even before the "For Sale" sign went up, thanks to Laura's hard work, marketing and many connections, we had gotten several offers on the house. She worked her magic and within a couple of weeks, we closed the deal for full asking price!!! I highly recommend Laura Bertolacci. You would be hard pressed to find a more knowledgeable, professional caring realtor!! Laura gets results!!! read more

Laura leaves "No stones unturned". Her Thoroughness, speed, deep relationships and Industry knowledge propelled us in giving us the best possible chance to land our Belmont home. I have already recommended her to all of my loved ones and anyone I care to have the absolute best Buying/Selling experience. Any open house we walked into knew who Laura was and it became our secret weapon navigating a very competitive Peninsula market. Once we were able to win out over 9 other buyers; she quickly provided key recommendations on improvements, opened up her network of resources e.g., contractors & vendors that we used for our home improvements. We will always be grateful to Laura for making our buying experience such a success. Thank you again, Laura! read more

I worked with Laura on a house she had listed for sale in Fremont. I do a lot of real estate transactions, and I would say this was easily one of the smoothest and easiest transactions I've done.

I appreciate the high level of professionalism, and look forward to doing more future transactions with her! Thank you Laura! read more

Look no further than Laura B! She's a master in her craft, an expert in the Bay Area, and a trustworthy/reliable agent and friend. Laura will make you feel like you are her only client she is working with - she is responsive, attentive and puts your best interests at front. My husband and I were selling our SF condo and buying our first home in the suburbs and we felt as easy having Laura at the helm! She helped us narrow down what we were looking for, worked within our budget, ensured she was well versed in the geographies and micro-markets we were interested in purchasing in, and help masterfully craft a strategic offer that was ultimately accepted and left us feeling like we got our new home at a price we were super comfortable and confident in. Her team and vendor relationships are super helpful too!

We LOVE working with Laura! She is knowledgeable, communicative, and an amazing advocate for her clients. Laura is also a fount of knowledge. Not only can she answer any and every real estate question, but she is also a design and home repair whiz. She really got to know us and helped us visualize the potential of the listings we were visiting -- what we could do to fix the lighting here, update the bathroom there, etc. In that same vein, she was always honest and realistic about what could be done and if she saw a red flag or something about a home that wouldn't meet our needs. Laura is also incredibly connected and respected in the industry. Working with an agent who has a great rapport with other agents matters, and we definitely reaped the benefits of Laura's reputation. She also has a vendor for anything and everything home-related you could possibly think of and if you don't think of it, Laura will make sure you do. As first-time home buyers, this was helpful beyond measure. Laura and her team are also incredibly responsive, communicative, and biased for action. You might get outbid on a house, but you'll never be outpaced with Laura on your side. Laura's be-ready-and-act-quickly strategy was a huge factor in us getting our home.

Laura is a truly outstanding realtor. She combines extensive experience, a willingness to put in a tremendous amount of time and effort in preparing a property for sale, a vast knowledge of the local real estate market, and a great eye for design. She worked with us on the sale of a duplex that had a lot of deferred maintenance issues and was filled with a lifetime of possessions. She worked with her extensive team of vendors, contractors, and tradespeople to clean out, repair, recondition, and fully transform the aging property into an attractive and appealing home. She managed and coordinated EVERY DETAIL of work including clearing the property, arranging inspections, putting on a new roof, repairing dry rot damage, tenting for termites, installing new doors and windows, refinishing floors, complete painting inside and outside, installing new lighting and plumbing fixtures, and landscaping. She brought in high-end, beautiful staging, arranged high quality professional photography, and held open houses. The duplex sold quickly at asking price while nearby similar properties sat on the market. I am happy to give Laura my highest recommendation. You could not find a better realtor! read more

Laura is wonderful to work with. I highly recommend using Laura when purchasing or buying a home. Nine years ago Laura helped purchase our house in Redwood City during a very competitive market.

We chose Laura Bertolacci to represent us during the sale of our house due to her great reviews. Now, I am writing one myself. We sold our house, it went over listing and we couldn't be more grateful to Laura. She absolutely lives up to all the great reviews, she also saw potential in the house and had a clear vision from day 1. We trusted her throughout the process with regards to everything (and were very wise to do so). She set up painters, handymen, gardeners, vendors etc; all were timely, respectful, very professional, and did an excellent job. The house looked amazing when it came to going on the market, she literally went above and beyond from start to finish. No matter what we needed help with, she held our hand throughout - as promised. She took care of everything. If we ever need to sell again, she will definitely be our choice. We highly recommend hiring Laura - you will not regret it. read more
