I wholeheartedly and unreservedly recommend her to anyone requiring someone with the perfect balance of personality and technical prowess to help with one of the most important transactions of your life. Tina is one of those RE professionals who genuinely listens to her clients and helps identify their needs. She ensures the properties she shows you will be a good fit for your life rather than just trying to make a sale. I wish there were more than 5 stars. Tina deserves her own constellation!

I initially found Tommy through Redfin, where he was the seller's agent, and he introduced us to Pat. Pat was exceptional.

Throughout the buying process, he provided invaluable advice and connections, and was responsive, and truly had our best interest at heart. We would absolutely work with this team again and cannot recommend them more highly!

The absolute worst experience I've ever had buying anything was with MaryBeth HoopenGarnter. She…read morenever calls, only texts. talks to you like she knows everything and has ZERO customer service skills. For starters she lost my earnest money and told me I DID after the day I drove to the office I dropped it off at the day before she found it in the trash can at the front desk AFTER I called the bank and told them they gave me the wrong paperwork. Then she only wants to reach out when she has questions, not answer yours. She also told me that I was not to pay for the inspections after I paid for my home inspections. That part of my agreement was for them to pay that so we waited until after my close date for the sellers to pay for it. Now I'm being stuck with the bill and I'm just going ahead and eating the cost after her not wanting to really do much about it. The cherry on top was the lockbox with the combination she failed to remove and a third party came by without my consent and took it off and she had the nerve to blow me up about it. Even if she offered me a free house I'd rather pay a toddler with paper money versus ever dealing with her again, at least they'll be honest with me and talk to me with respect. 0 outta 10

Laurie LaDow is a warrior in the real estate market…read more Being my first foray into the world of home buying, I was relatively clueless on how the entire process works. I needed an experienced professional who could concisely explain the process of buying a home to me and guide me in the right direction every step of the way. I needed someone who, instead of trying to take advantage of my inexperience, would work for me with my own interests exclusively in mind. Laurie LaDow fits that bill perfectly! I'm confident that Laurie's #1 goal truly is the satisfaction of her clients. She will not try to sell you on the first house you see so that she can make a quick transaction and closing. With her great amount of experience in showing houses, she made many observations about some of the properties we looked at that we did not notice at first. Her observations often actually steered us AWAY from those particular homes in search of something more ideal. I cannot express enough how appreciative I am of a realtor who will give her honest opinion on a matter instead of put her own interests first. After we found our ideal home and began the complicated closing process, Laurie really came through and showed her value. She handled all of the fine details, such as arranging inspections per my request and communicating with the seller through the seller's agent regarding inspection results. The MOST impressive aspect of working with Laurie was certainly her tenacity to improve the deal for her customer. For example, there was one inspection result (leaky window seals) that I didn't feel confident in asking the seller to repair. However, with Laurie's insistence on the matter, I eventually decided to ask the seller to repair the defect and replace some window panes. At first, the seller initially refused to make any repairs at all, and said that I could back out of the closing altogether if this was unacceptable. But Laurie would not allow that to stand. With my approval and her insistence, Laurie managed to convince the seller to pay half of the costs to repair the windows. That saved me several hundreds of dollars! Laurie truly will go above and beyond the call of duty in order to ensure that her customers get the best deal possible, with no hidden surprises! Laurie LaDow is an experienced and extremely professional realtor who will not disappoint you! Highly recommended!
