"Laura is our listing agent when we decided to sell our house. She is great to work with and we really enjoy working with her! Selling a house requires a lot of work, remodeling interior and exterior, landscaping, staging. We have no idea how to start all these. Without Laura’s help, we cannot handle it. Laura is our single point of contact during this whole process. She helped us find good contractors, communicated with them about our ideas and monitor the project for us all the way through. She always provided us several options and analyze the pros and cons with us, gave us a lot of suggestions so that we can make informed decision. We couldn’t be happier about remodeling result. The only regret we have is we should have done this earlier so that we can enjoy the remodeled home ourselves. We really appreciate her professionalism and fully trust her during this process. Laura is very capable as a realtor. She guided us through the whole process. She is very responsive. Whenever we have questions, we would just text or call her and she always reply quickly. Laura also has excellent personality. Selling a house can be stressful at times, but Laura is always calm and also cheerful. We really enjoy working with her. Last but not least, Laura is a wonderful author! Our family love her book, sometimes when we are on the car, we just put on the CD of the book to listen and sing along. Thanks for your book and your joyful music!"

"Laura helped us buy our first home. She was patient and supportive as we dealt with the very challenging 2021 housing market. Laura stayed in close contact with us after we entered contract and actively helped us work through some unexpected issues during escrow. Additionally, after the purchase completed, Laura generously helped us deal with some tasks necessary to make the home move-in ready."

"We worked with Laura to purchase our first home. Being in the Peninsula for the last few years, I knew that it was a tough market and that supply was tight. Additionally, we had a large search zone, starting from San Bruno all the way down to Santa Clara to find our home. Fortunately, Laura has intimate knowledge of the entire Peninsula and worked with us over 3 months to finally land our home.
She was very patient, understanding, resourceful, and communicative throughout the whole process. For example, when COVID restrictions required individual appointments to be set up, Laura was very quick to respond with availability (often times less than 24 hrs), retrieve home disclosures, and establish communication with the listing agent in order for us to get all the needed information to submit a bid. Given that most homes are in the market for 7-10 days, it was important for us to spend as much time as possible and sometimes return for a 2nd visit if we were to submit an offer.
During the negotiation and escrow process, Laura was very helpful to ensure that we would be able to close within 30 days. We had some unexpected challenges with our lender however Laura was able to remediate the situation and kept us informed of the process and brought us along when we needed to make a decision. As new homebuyers, we were learning as we went along and we couldn't have imagined doing this without anyone else.
We consider Laura not only our trusted advisor but also a dear friend that has helped us navigate a confusing/challenging real estate market. Thank you Laura!"

"Laura was referred to us by our loan agent, who described her as honest and energetic, while we found Laura to be much more - she is flexible, resourceful, patient and delightful to work with! Being a local to the Peninsula with many friends and family in the area, Laura knew the neighborhoods through and through, which has helped us tremendously during our house hunt. House hunting during the first quarter of 2021 was quite stressful, with all the COVID regulations still in place and a surge in the number of buyers, competition had been very tough even just to tour the homes. Laura was always on top of scheduling and got us into all the homes that we wanted to see at the toughest times - weekends and after work. Each bidding war that we went through was like a roller coaster ride, and we are very thankful that Laura was there with us, holding our hands through every step of the way, giving us insightful suggestions while also guiding us to make the right decisions for ourselves. We are also very thankful to Laura’s parents, who took the time to look at the homes that we were interested in bidding and gave us honest feedback. Laura has also built a very solid reputation in a very short amount of time, the listing agent for the home bought specifically wanted to work with Laura because of her professionalism, which has helped us win an extremely tough bidding war. The appraisal process had been the most worrisome part of our home buying process. Historical low mortgage rates and high buyer interest has caused a shortage of appraisers and an extremely high likelihood of homes not appraised to value. Laura worked diligently to get the appraiser to come a week before the original scheduled time and provided the appraiser with all the relevant comps to represent the current market condition. We are very grateful to have closed on time with our home appraised to value. We highly recommend Laura and will be working with her again very soon to sell!"

"Laura helped us find the perfect home in the Bay Area!
They say referrals are the best and this could not be more true. When my wife and I started on the journey to find a new home, we didn’t really know where to start and consulted a couple of Redfin agents like most people as they browsed through listings. However, we didn’t feel the connection with the Redfin agents so we asked our friends and one of whom referred us to Laura (who helped them sell their property during crunch time).
Needless to say, we are very happy with Laura! She’s professional, courteous, down to earth, organized, knows the right people, and gets things done. From starting to look for a property to a ratified contract only took only two weeks! We didn’t think we would be able to find the perfect home so quickly especially given the pandemic, but a home we did find. During the short process Laura suggested lenders, possible issues of properties from her experience, and how much things were to fix. Laura was also very cognizant of staying safe by wearing masks, bringing sanitizers and wipes at every showing. We were very comfortable with our safety. During the closing process Laura also coordinated with the lender, title company, and notary to make sure everything was in order.
All in all, we had a great experience with Laura and looking forward to working with her in the future!"

"Laura has been our go to person through out our home buying process. She is great with her time management, contacting us time to time, providing good estimates, showing property per our convenience, answering all our questions patiently and in detail. One thing we would definitely highlight is her positive attitude and giving perspective in terms of value - both financially and personally. She comes with great experience from her family being in same business for many decades. In Covid times she was very diligent and toured all houses we were interested on her own and made awesome videos for us to look at. We would finally go and check out only the ones we really liked. That was very helpful and thoughtful. We would recommend her for any of the home buying needs. She closed the deal for our home as well we could not be happier. She is wonderful!"
