I am thrilled to share that Sotheby's International Realty® has been identified as the most trusted residential real estate brokerage in the country! According to the study, "Trust is calculated based on the Lifestory Research Net Trust Quotient Score. This score includes three levels of consumer trust: 'advocates,' a customer who feels a significant trust toward the brand; 'neutrals,' those who have a moderate level of trust in a brand; and 'antagonists,' those who do not trust a brand. The rankings are based on the Net Trust Index Quotient Score."

While there are great brands in every market, trust is absolutely critical for all clients and is a trait that endures through generations. I am so proud of the legacy that the Sotheby's International Realty name offers to me as a broker and of course, to my clients!

"It as an absolute pleasure to work with Laura during our house hunt. She took the time to understand what we were looking for as new homeowners, and led us through a clear search. She was always positive, even when we met challenges, and kept things in perspective. Laura has a great understanding of the market, and was able to quickly and clearly call out key points of the properties that we had missed, while also finding simple opportunities to make improvements to the properties. She walked us step by step through the inspection through purchase process, and gave us the tools we needed to make the most competitive offer. She never forced us out of our comfort zone for budget or location, but also didn't set unrealistic expectations. She and her team were available during the weekends and evenings to help see houses, and answer our many questions. It brought us an incredible amount of confidence to know that we had Laura in our corner when we moved through the housing process, and we both feel extremely lucky to have had her guidance as we bought our home."

My “It Pick” for this month is Earth + Wind + Fire Yoga, located in Madison Valley. I've been so inspired by the women who run this specialty yoga studio. Over a decade ago Jaime, Alice, and Madzy met and a true sisterhood was formed. Earth Wind Fire Yoga offers a wide variety of yoga styles. Drop in for a class soon and maybe I’ll see you there!
