"Laura and I worked together for over a year before I purchased a home. She understood what I wanted and would let me know when she saw something that fit. She was there in the background as my advocate. I never felt she was trying to sell me something. Laura was always there to represent me and to protect me. Her knowledge of the market was outstanding. More importantly after we entered escrow she remained my advocate and was always watching out for my interests. I know many realtors in Seattle proper. I would only use Laura going forward. She is pleasant, smart and has integrity."
