What clients say about this agent....
My transaction involved selling the home Id raised my kids in for 20 years & buying a new one. Therefore, Laurie acted as sellers agent & buyers agent, respectively. Each step of the process was well laid out by Laurie. We hit a very unforeseen snag in the sale process no one could have anticipated. Laurie remained calm & helped me do the same. She went above & beyond the call of duty every step of the way. I would highly recommend Laurie as either a buyers or sellers agent. She has the experience, professionalism and negotiation skills to get the job done flawlessly. Schon Hoeschen
We recently hired Laurie to sell our house and help us purchase a new one. To say we are happy with how Laurie handled the sale of our old home, and the purchase of our new home is an understatement. She truly goes above and beyond the call of duty. She even helped fix a minor repair on our water heater the night before the appraisal. She puts a lot of care into making sure the whole process goes smoothly. We would highly recommend using Laurie! ?
Excellent communication and marketing. House sold quickly with no issues throughout the process. Laurie knows the area and market well and does a great job in communicating information. Thanks Laurie for a smooth transaction.
Laurie had quite the time with our seller, but we saw none of it. She absorbed all of the stress caused by the process so we had an easy and seamless home buying experience. She helped my mother-in-law buy her home and wed heard great things so we decided to go with her, and are very happy with our decision. Wed recommend her to anyone.
Laurie is a top notch realtor. She knows the area and market. I found my buying experience went faster than I had expected. She took care of all the loose ends and brought the deal together. I would use her again in a heartbeat.
Laurie found us just by chance, our regular agent was out of town and sent her. What a find!!! We instantly had a great feeling about her! She was up beat, friendly and a joy to be around! She took all our house info and within a day was sending us houses that was exactly what we were looking for. She was always available, and was right on top of daily new listings. Even after she found us our perfect home, she would find the time to give us updates throughout the loan & closing process, she even helped up find a wonderful Mortgage Broker! Thanks
Laurie Evans Michel was so easy, stress free and professional to work with when my husband and I bought our first home 18 years ago that we used her again. I can not say enough of how much we trust and appreciate everything she helped us through selling and buying our homes. From giving us the best tips to sale our home to directing us to the best home and neighborhood for us and our girls. Laurie went above and beyond for us each time. Whenever we hear someone buying or selling we ALWAYS recommend her. We are proud to say that we have multiple friends and family have also used her and are also very happy customers.
Steve and I asked Laurie to help us look for a piece of property we could eventually build on. In her infinite wisdom, she brought us to a place in Mulino. This was October 2012. Steves jaw dropped as he looked at the barn and my jaw dropped as I looked at the house. We were standing at the kitchen counter and Laurie says to me this is your home. She was absolutely right but it didnt come easy. We made an offer, they countered, we countered back and then chickened out. After playing with the numbers we offered them their counter but they had decided not to sell. Laurie made it very clear to their Realtor, that we wanted this home and once they were ready to call her. She followed up multiple times, making sure they didnt forget us. Toward the end of January they called and accepted our offer. Our home was immediately put on the market. Laurie said I should paint the green walls neutral, which I didnt do, and the house didnt sell. We painted those walls and in a week received a full price offer. (always listen to your Realtors recommendations) What defines an exceptional Realtor is how they react and respond when things go sideways. Our buyers Realtor and lender were a nightmare, starting with changing the closing date SIX times. They just couldnt get their act together. Im not sure Ive ever seen so many paperwork changes. Laurie kept me calm when I was afraid we were going to lose the house we were buying, and getting so frustrated at the ineptness of the buyers lender, that I wanted to scream. We were trying to close this before Laurie had major surgery. Laurie tried to explain this to them, and they didnt care. So.....Laurie had her surgery, all 14 hours of it on a Friday. On Monday, the lender wants to close on Wednesday. This time she says its for sure. She needs the paperwork to change the date..again. Laurie gets her the paperwork, FROM HER HOSPITAL BED! Did we close Wednesday? No we did not. Didnt close Thursday either and the loan on our rate lock expired on Friday. More paperwork demanded of Laurie, that she immediately turned around, FROM HER HOSPITAL BED!! We finally closed at 5:30pm on Friday, April 17th. I know of no one else that would have done what Laurie did to get this deal to go through. Not only is she unbelievably wonderful, but her knowledge of the business is excellent. She is patient and understanding when youre ready to have a meltdown. We are so grateful and happy, she found and put us in our new home.
I have had the best experiences with Laurie! She made searching for a home so much fun- we both love to see houses and as soon as any new homes fitting our criteria popped up, she was setting up viewings and even taking us back to one property more than once. Laurie has so much energy, a fabulous sense of humor and is helpful and honest. I appreciated her expertise and knowledge of the entire process- from listings to inspections and financing...its so much to try to comprehend but she was patient and happy to break it down for us. I will use Laurie without hesitation in any future home buying or selling and highly recommend her to family and friends.
Laurie is great! Every time Ive wanted to see a house shes been available to show it to me . . . even after she had foot surgery and was on crutches! Any time a new listing was posted, and it was in my price range, Laurie would send me the information right away. Shes very responsive and personable. Id highly recommend her! Keep up the good work Laure!
