Time and time again, Laura has proven to be a true real estate miracle worker!
There are a lot of "professionals" in the real estate industry, but no one comes close to having the most well rounded knowledge and tenacity to get the MOST complicated situations and transactions resolved.
I met Laura over 10 years ago through a referral from my CPA. I was interested in learning to invest in real estate and Laura sat down with me for nearly 2 hours and explained what I needed to do to prepare to invest. It was nearly 2 years later that I finally had everything in place to start investing and Laura patiently helped me get ready to move forward. In the beginning, I was only using her as my mortgage broker. She was incredible at counseling me and explaining every detail of what was going on every step of the way as we immediately jumped in to buying multiple investment properties right away. She was excellent in finding the best lenders for our needs and the most efficient at getting our paperwork put together properly. There was even a time where she found a lender that had better rates for our specific needs that she was not working with directly and helped us get the loan even when she was not getting any financial benefit for it.
Right away, we started investing in more and more properties and started to use her as our real estate agent and as our mortgage broker. Over the years, we have done over a dozen loans with her and she has helped us be very profitable with our real estate. There were too many times to count where (thankfully) she advised against properties I was looking to invest in. She has so much REAL experience in so many facets of the real estate industry, it's mind blowing. There were times I'd be calling her 10 times a day (not an exaggeration) for questions and it would always amaze me at how she could figure out the best strategies to fit our goals.
At the market downturn, I got into a situation where I needed to short sell my primary residence (I bought this property before I met Laura). Laura was well ahead of all the other real estate agents in getting home approved for short sale and understood how to negotiate properly to get it moving. As with so many different real estate transactions I've dealt with, there was a strange unforeseen hangup at the very last minute. With Laura as my agent, hangups were very rarely on our end of the transaction, but usually the buyer or the seller we were dealing with. Real estate can be very frustrating and stressful when things that are not in your control start to unravel. Having Laura as our real estate agent and broker, I learned to relax at times when most people would be having a heart attack. I can honestly say, "If Laura can't solve this problem, no one can." She digs deeper and works harder than anyone I know to get things done.
Laura also has a large network of professionals at her disposal which has been very helpful.
If you are looking for a true real estate miracle worker, give Laura a call and see what she can do for you. I've referred multiple members of my own immediate family to her who had unusual circumstances that needed addressing and Laura took care of them with no problems.
Lastly, Laura is an amazing strategist. She will make suggestions and give you the pros and cons to each. She cannot tell you the future, but can prepare you for the best and worst case scenarios in complicated transactions. She will allow you to make your own decisions after giving you all the information she has at hand and work with every decision you make. In real estate, there are a thousand ways to get things done and decisions can be hard. Laura is gifted in explaining things to allow you to make the best decision possible. We've taken "the rocky road" a few times against Laura's recommendations, and as she clearly predicted beforehand, that road took a lot longer and was a lot harder to travel. She ALWAYS respected our decisions and worked 3x times harder to make it as easy as possible for us. We can't thank her enough for all she's done for us! read more
