Laura was a dream to work with! As a first time home buyer, I can't recommend her enough. The home buying process can be emotional and stress-inducing, but Laura was always a laid back voice of reason. She takes the time to explain every part of the process and lay out all your options, making sure you are well-equipped to make the best decision. She is incredibly knowledgeable about Philadelphia. Touring houses with Laura is not just about a quick walk through or a sales pitch. She encourages you to think critically about the home and whether it is a good fit for your lifestyle. Even after completing my purchase, Laura has continued to go above and beyond. So happy to have worked with her!

Laura made the home-buying process a smooth and easy process despite two small children and a pandemic. My wife and I met Laura several years ago when we were new to the city. She learned about who we were, talked us through our options, and helped us make the decision not to move. Several years later, we contacted Laura again and picked up right where we left off. She helped us find a new home within a week, guided us through the whole process, and continued helping us even after closing. We loved working with Laura and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking to move in Philly.

Laura is amazing at what she does! She is pro-active and helpful along the entire chain of looking for and finding a new house. If you don't know where to move or if you want to buy, give her a call and she will help you identify a list of neighborhoods and show you what they offer. If you know exactly what you want, she will help you handle offer, inspection, closing, financing, etc. She loves Philadelphia, knows it inside and out, and is a customer service and real estate pro of the highest caliber. I hope you have the privilege of working with her!

I loved working with Laura with Love Your Block! She was incredibly patient, knowledgeable, and helpful as I navigated buying my first home. I recommend her to everyone I know who is considering buying a house in Philly.

I'd highly recommend Love Your Block if you are considering buying a house. Laura was a pleasure to work with! She helped me find a house that was within my budget and desired location and did so within a pretty short time frame (less than three months).

Laura was a great realtor to work with! She was beyond helpful before, during and after the entire home buying process. We were uneasy since this was our first home purchase, but Laura walked us through step by step and was always so quick and helpful with her responses. She’s definitely not in this to make a quick buck on you, but truly wants you to find a home you will be happy in. So glad to have chosen someone who is invested in her clients as well as the community she serves. I would recommend her to anyone in the Philadelphia area who is interested in purchasing!

My family worked with Laura to buy a house when we were moving to Philadelphia from out of state. Laura was incredible to work with. She got to know us well, was very in tune with what we were looking for, never pushed us to look at things out of our budget, and was very knowledgeable about all things Philadelphia and real estate. Plus, Laura was kind, hilarious, and genuinely delightful person. Her communication was amazing throughout the process and now, even months later, she has remained available to check in and offer advice.We strongly recommend having Laura as your agent!

Working with Laura from Love Your Block was a dream! When I first reached out via email as a nervous potential home buyer, I had no idea what to expect. Upon our first meeting via video chat, I immediately responded to Laura’s sense of humor, personality, and expertise. She felt like the best kind of person you’d meet at a party.Throughout the entire process, from initial viewings to the final walkthrough, Laura was incredibly helpful. She was patient and knowledgable -- thoroughly explaining things like the offer/Agreement of Sale; helping us navigate the inspection process; and suggesting eventual short-term and long-term improvements we can make to our new home.Laura has a wealth of experience and knowledge, so she can accurately manage expectations and add a real personal touch to this entire process. She always made my husband and I feel like we had her full attention and could ask as many questions as we wanted (no matter how trivial or general).I would happily recommend Laura and Love Your Block to anyone looking to buy a house in the Philadelphia area. Laura was so great to work with!

Laura was THE best throughout the process and dealing with first time home owner questions and anxiety. She was always communicative, easy to talk to and quick to reply to email, text, or phone calls. Laura always gave us straight honest answers about anything. Seriously, even when we asked her the weird or obvious stuff, she was always patient and kind. We met Laura through the Love your Block House Crawls and she never ever gave us the hard sell, which is exactly why she became our realtor. You should also go on one of those. This is an amazing Philly small business and the personal service is apparent throughout the entire process. Call Laura & you will be well taken care of.

Laura was amazing to work with! As a first time home buyer she was everything you could want - patient, understanding, available and always willing to answer any and all questions. We couldn't have gotten through this sometimes stressful process without someone like Laura on our side helping us every step of the way. She's also extremely knowledgeable and well connected, which helped a ton with our experience. We love Laura!!

If you're looking to buy or sell your home, or even just dreaming about it and want to get the conversation started, I could not recommend Love Your Block enough. My husband and I just bought our first home and Laura made the process so easy and stress free throughout. She knows her stuff and was always available for any questions or concerns we had along the way.Making the biggest purchase of your life is already stressful enough, and I could not have imagined going through the emotional rollercoaster of buying a home with anyone else. She knew how to keep our expectations grounded while also opening our eyes to the potential 1 year and 5 year plan of the homes we were seeing. And we were able to have fun and laugh with the ups and down along the way.Cannot recommend Laura and Love Your Block enough!

Love Your Block is an amazing team. Laura was very supportive in the house search throughout the whole process: from setting expectations about what type of home I want to buy to the final walkthrough. That weird tree in the backyard? Laura knows how much you might spend to remove it. Sellers left a heavy item in the basement? Laura would make sure that junk service picks it up and removes it before you take possession of the home. You cannot find a better agent!

Laura recently helped me sell my condo in Fairmount and I couldn’t have asked for a better agent to represent me—she really was the perfect fit. She of course did all the normal things you’d expect with professionalism and efficiency...like marketing the house, working her networking, holding multiple open houses and helping me to get my place in great shape for showings. What surprised me about Laura though was how well she was at managing all the unknowns in the process. From helping me deal with the anxiety of moving, to fielding challenging questions and requests from the buyers and lenders; Laura was able to navigate and untangle a very complex process right before my eyes. Her patience, persistence and intelligence are unmatched and she is really a creative out of the box thinker. There were many times I called her ready to “walk off a cliff” and she always was able to help me clearly see the situation from a new perspective and put me at ease. All these things translated into a super quick sale for a price better than I ever expected in a very competitive market.When you are ready to sell your house or condo Laura should definitely be the first person you call. I promise she will make the process easy and fun and will be there for you every step of the way. You won’t regret it.

Laura is outstanding! We recently bought our first home. Holy moly is that overwhelming and scary. Laura made it as seamless as possible. Houses were flying off the market when we were looking. Laura was on top of everything. We were able to get in homes very quickly and if we weren't able to get there in time, Laura was able to check out the property for us. She was extremely responsive to my many texts. When we were finally ready to move forward with an offer she walked us through the entire process. There were multiple bids on the property and I have no doubt that Laura's business sense and connections helped get our offer accepted. We were so unprepared for how busy that month before settlement was. We had a ton of questions and Laura was always there to respond to a text or speak to me on the phone if I was freaking out and confused. Through it all she made us feel like we were her top priority and her calm demeanor helped to assuage my nerves. I highly recommend Laura if you're looking for a home... or a life coach for that matter. She's the best.
