Integrity, commitment, and professionalism are what you will find in every interaction with Laura Anderson. I first met Laura at a local neighborhood meeting in LA in 2018, several months before my company closed its LA location. I had just purchased my dream home in LA in 2016 and needed to find a new job. Once I found a new job, it required relocating to Portland, OR. Facing a looming timeline for relocation, I called Laura, and she met with me the very next day. Not only did she have empathy for my situation, but she came to our first meeting with a fully developed marketing plan for how she would sell my home, detailed lists of comparable houses, and a pricing strategy that she felt would not only sell my house quickly but also maximize my return. I was immediately impressed that Laura was not only overprepared for our first meeting but was ready to start immediately. My trust in Laura only strengthened throughout the listing process, where she took care of every detail, allowing me the space to focus on the relocation and my new job. She quickly jumped into action, preparing the home for listing and showings while I was in temporary housing for my new job. In under 60 days, Laura found a buyer for my home and negotiated an offer that was $200k over what I had paid for the house less than two years before. She made every step of the process as painless as possible for me and took care of everything from completing minor repairs to cleaning. and ensuring everything was perfect for closing. I never had to fly back to LA and could focus on my new job because Laura covered every detail. It was the smoothest and most pleasant experience I have had as a seller.
In 2022, when my company closed several offices and allowed employees to work permanently from home, I quickly contacted Laura for her help again. I desperately wanted to return to Los Angeles and was ready to purchase a new home. Laura jumped into action, helping me understand the changes to the LA real estate landscape since I relocated. After identifying several properties I flew to LA and spent the weekend with Laura looking at properties. As a buyer, not a seller I was delighted that Laura’s commitment from a few years earlier had not changed. She did all the leg work for me ahead of time before I arrived in LA. She had properties pre-selected and a binder ready for me with all of the information for each. She scheduled private shows to ensure that we would have time to look at each property without the crowds at open houses. When I didn’t find the perfect place on the first visit, Laura continued to locate properties for me remotely. Each time I found a property I liked, Laura would scope out the neighborhood, provide comps, and schedule showings virtually over FaceTime with me so I would not have to make another trip to LA. Ultimately, I ended up falling in love with a property that was one of Laura’s listings. Given my past experience with Laura and the trust we had built, I had no reservations about purchasing a property where she was both the listing agent and represented me as the buyer. Once again, Laura Anderson over delivered. During the entire purchase process, she represented my interests with the utmost integrity and transparency. I got exactly what I wanted without any unnecessary back and forth. Laura was my advocate throughout the entire purchase, ensuring that everything was seamless and respectful of my time and the fact that I was not local to LA.
My positive experience with Laura continued after the offer was accepted. During the closing process, I identified several things that I wanted to be done at the property that required contractors and vendors. Rather than wait until after closing, Laura understood the stress involved with a long-distance relocation and jumped into action. She sent me a list of trusted contractors and vendors that she had worked with in the past. She met them at the property during escrow so they could provide estimates for me. She took time out of her schedule to go to the property and oversee the work that was being done before closing. I never expected this of her or any real estate agent. She simply offered her help to get everything done before I moved in to ease the process for me. I’m eternally grateful that she took all of the stress out of not only buying the home but having upgrades done before I even stepped foot in the driveway. It reinforces Laura’s commitment to her clients and why I would never work with another agent in the Los Angeles area.
When you work with Laura, she treats you like you are the only client in the world with her dedication, clear communication, and attention to detail. She is the definition of professionalism, and her honesty and integrity are rarely found in the competitive real estate industry. When you put your trust in Laura Anderson, she will deliver for you.
