"Laurie was our real estate agent last year and did a wonderful job finding us our home! She was pleasant, honest and funny, all the while maintaining her professionalism. I had very little doubt she would find is a house due to her ambitious attitude. She communicated with us from start to finish, always with a smile! I would recommend Laurie without a doubt!"
-Lisa, Client
"Laurie was fabulous!!! From the first walk-through she had excellent suggestions that were both cost conservative, but would bring best value for the house! We did everything she recommended (as I said she was cost conservative) and the house sold in 13 days! Laurie was always on-call available for questions and assistance. She was able to recommend painters, flooring contractors, carpet cleaners and even an electrician! These were folks she'd worked with before and knew they could provide excellent service at reasonable prices. She volunteered to meet contractors at the house and save us from taking time off work, which was very appreciated. Laurie was professional and led us through the entire negotiation, contract, inspections, and closing processes flawlessly! I truly cannot say enough about superb it was working with Laurie Heggie. I'd use her again in a heartbeat!"
