“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.”
Joan Krajewski
“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..”
