Laura Halliday did a great job selling our home. As the local expert, we were pleased to find her sensible and just generally no-nonsense. Further, she was responsive, well organized, and fun. Laura has an effective team, covering all the bases and knew how to get the job done. Thank you, Laura.

“My husband and I worked with Laura in 2022 during the search for our new family home and, ultimately, the sale of our previous home. Her knowledge of the market and understanding of how to be successful in your goals is exemplary. Her communication skills are excellent, along with her sense of urgency. A top professional!”

“Working with Laura was a real delight ! She is likable, professional and knowledgeable. She represented us in the purchase of a new condo and the sale of our old one. She instinctively understood exactly what we were looking for and worked diligently to find it for us. Her skill in advising us on selling our old unit was “ right on”- she really nailed it with the marketing and staging, resulting in a sale considerably above asking within 4 days! I would highly recommend her to anyone who is looking for an agent to help them find the perfect place or to sell their existing one!”

“My wife and I have lived in our Broadmoor home nearly 20 years so it had been a while since we'd bought or sold a home. When it came time to select an agent to represent us, we interviewed several, including Broadmoor resident Laura Halliday. From the initial meeting to her sales proposal to her official representation of us as sellers, we could not have been more pleased with Laura. She's professional. She's knowledgeable. She's responsive. Lastly, she's personable...which is critical to making this short-term relationship work for everyone”.

"Laura's professionalism, considerable market knowledge and attention to detail impressed us from the start. She guided us proactively and confidently through the process, culminating in the successful sale of our home in Queen Anne before we relocated overseas. We were very grateful for her insight and would not hesitate to recommend her services."

“We were referred to Laura Halliday by a friend in Seattle who highly recommended her based on her own experience buying a home in Broadmoor. Our house criteria evolved and were refined by Laura’s knowledge and insights into the initial neighborhoods we thought might be possibilities. Because we were buying the house while on the East Coast, her partnership was even more critical and valuable. Laura was our eyes on the ground. She visited numerous houses on our behalf and was quick to point out the potential in the houses as well as potential issues. After six months, we found a house on Mercer Island and Laura helped us structure our offer with the right terms which allowed us to win a very competitive bidding process. We are very excited to move back to Seattle and have Laura to thank for getting us our dream house. We highly recommend you use Laura to help you find your next house in the Greater Seattle area.”

“Laura is a wonder. She is kind, professional, had great ideas as to how to show the house to its best advantage (remove many, many things so that people can see the house), she is a wonderful advocate for you, and she really is right on top of things. She is very honest which is such a wonderful gift and makes it so easy to work with her. She really knows a house and the neighborhood and can help you find your way—either in or out! Her negotiation skills are outstanding, and she will do her very best for you—and her very best is terrific! I cannot say enough good things about her.”

“I could not have been more thrilled with the job Laura Halliday did selling my home on north Capitol Hill. I took her advice and priced it according to market conditions and after a couple of weeks, I received a full price offer and it closed at full price too. Laura shielded me from the negotiations that frequently go on during these deals and there was never one time when I texted or called that she did not respond immediately. I felt very well taken care of in what can be a stressful process. Laura is a true professional and I was always assured in her calm and classy presence that everything would work out. And it did! I’d hire her again-best money I ever spent.”

“Laura Halliday was our agent for the purchase of a new home and the selling of our existing one in Madrona/Denny Blaine. We were struck by her professionalism and knowledge of real estate and the local market. She did a fantastic job of staging, photographing, and marketing our home for sale. It sold in three days! She is careful, patient, thorough, and a delight to work with. Her positive attitude and work ethic was impressive, as were her quick action and honest feedback. We would not hesitate to work with her again and we highly recommend Laura and her services.”

“What we were looking for was someone with experience, not only about Whidbey Island real estate but with what clients were looking for nationally and internationally. Someone with sophistication and a sense of class and grace. Someone who was strategic and with executive skills. We were also looking for someone who understood her client’s needs and who would truly represent them. We found those qualities in Laura Halliday. Her attention to detail, her easy-going nature, and her sense of humor were great bonuses. We would recommend Laura without hesitation.”

“We recently hired Laura to help us sell a long-time family property. While Laura had already earned our respect for helping another family member sell a house a few years earlier, we still ran a competitive process as the property and house we were selling were somewhat unique. Her research and positioning suggestions made us believe she was the right candidate for this sale as well. Our trust in her was greatly rewarded. In addition to the top-quality marketing of the property, Laura did an excellent job in managing the family dynamics that come with the sale of a multi-generational property. When the offers started to arrive, Laura really shined with both her negotiating skills (truly top drawer) and her communication (we were in the loop on all details during the negotiating process, no matter how small.) The outcome was both significantly above what we thought the value of the property might be, and a high watermark result for the geographic area and type of house. We would recommend her highly to anyone looking for an experienced and professional partner.”

“Laura Halliday deserves the glowing accolades she earns. I would rate her skills in each category ten stars if I could. Laura sold my Denny Blaine home within a week for the asking price to the perfect buyers. She responds quickly, remains positive throughout the process, and provides actionable feedback. Laura is the best real estate representative with whom I have ever worked by a massive margin.”

“Working with Laura Halliday was incredible! Her insight into the Broadmoor/Madison Park/Washington Park neighborhoods is unrivaled. Professional, responsive, and decisive, she saw value in our home far in excess of what was reflected on any of the online websites. She created beautiful marketing collateral and negotiated an outstanding offer on the first day of listing. We can’t imagine a better experience..”

“Laura could see the love and care we had invested in restoring our beautiful English Tudor. She knew that finding the right buyer for a house like ours would require helping them understand the value in each special detail. She enthusiastically marketed our home, and we have no doubt her enthusiasm and energy conveyed during showings with potential buyers. Within a month Laura had three prospects making competing offers to purchase our home! We cannot say enough good things about Laura. She is a tireless advocate for her clients. Hiring Laura Halliday was the best decision we could have made.”

“We seldom write on-line reviews, but we couldn’t resist writing in praise of the representation provided by Laura Halliday, Realogics/Sotheby’s Real Estate office in Seattle, Washington. From the first contact, through following her advice about how to prepare our special Capitol Hill Seattle home of 28 years for sale, Laura was stellar! Her recommendations for painting various rooms were measured rather than “redo everything”, her thoughts about partial “staging” were reasonable, and her pricing suggestion was within range of our expectations…

“We were first time homebuyers who had no idea what we were doing. Laura was patient, extremely professional, and went above and beyond to make the homebuying process a seamless one. On top of her local knowledge and expertise of the Seattle housing market, Laura takes the time to actually get to know her clients to ensure they are going after homes that fit them and their families needs. She is a consummate professional and all out wonderful person.”

“Throughout the process, Laura was a good listener about our goals and preferences, and she offered suggestions which reflected her experience, elegance, and good taste. She maintained excellent contact every step of the way and responded immediately to questions or concerns, providing feedback with candor and grace. We highly recommend Laura if you are looking for a truly special professional who delivers.”

“Trust Laura to give you the advice you need if you are considering selling your home. After almost two decades of living in Broadmoor, our family wanted to make a change. Laura helped us with great advice, and a step-by-step approach to getting our house on the market—from the painter, window cleaner, roof cleaner, handyman, stager, and even the estate sale. Laura was warm and understanding, while being professional, intelligent, and on top of the market with her many years.”

“Laura provided the local knowledge, skill, patience and advice to sell our home in Broadmoor. She is discrete, empathetic and forthright and earned our trust immediately. If you are buying or selling a home in the Broadmoor, Madison Park or Laurelhurst area, you really want her on your team.”

“Laura was an absolute pleasure to work with, and gave us fantastic advice through the process of buying our home. We're excited to work with her again in the future!”

“We both give Laura our highest possible recommendation because Laura is an excellent listener and communicator. These qualities, plus her candor and obvious market knowledge, earned our trust early on. She was highly skilled, patient, and discreet while guiding us through what was, for us, a complex, lengthy, and trying process. She brings an ideal balance between professionalism, with laser focus, while being consistently personable and pleasant to deal with. She was ALWAYS prompt and ran the extra yard in exceeding our expectations. We both feel very fortunate to have had her on our side during this process."

“Despite Laura's intimidatingly-fancy dress in the photo above, she is actually pretty normal once you meet her. Well not exactly, we had already found the house, but brought Laura in to help represent the buyer-side of our deal. She is an expert in Broadmoor and came recommended by a friend of mine who already had been living there. I'd say her mean response time by phone is three seconds; text: 45 seconds and email: about 3.5 minutes…at all hours. She may have a small crew managing her devices in India while the west coast is sleeping. I've bought and sold more than 15 houses in my adult life, having done fixers and rentals. Laura is the most professional realtor that I have ever met.”

“Laura represented me recently in both the listing and sale of my home, as well as the acquisition of a condo in the same area. Laura has a unique skill set including market knowledge and evaluation, professional and fair negotiation advice, and excellent customer service standards. She is a true pro. Anyone who has the opportunity to work with her should consider themselves most fortunate.”

“Laura is a consummate professional and amazing partner. My ex-husband and I asked Laura to work with us in the selling of our home, as well as the purchase of our two new homes. We chose Laura, given her deep understanding of the Madison Park and Broadmoor market and her reputation as an outstanding real estate professional…”

"Laura's reputation as a top agent is well-deserved! She is just the best! She talked us through every step of selling our house. We were so impressed with her professionalism and up-to-the-minute market analysis. She is warm, open and honest and has our utmost respect and admiration. She was always available for our questions and was always on time for every appointment. Her team of re-stylers, photographers and her brochures were all A+++. We would recommend her without reservation!"

It's very easy to write a rave review for the agent that helps you find your dream home but what about the agent that LISTS your dream home? While divorce may line the pockets of many an agent it has to have them reaching for the jumbo bottle of Maalox. In our case the only thing my former spouse and I could agree on was using Laura as our agent. We have known Laura both professionally and socially for over 20 years. Her reputation as a top agent is hard won and well deserved. Meticulous in her approach, she is knowledgeable, consultative and respectful.
