Testimonials

“Home selling can be such a stressful and anxious experience, but you were such a great support to us during what could have been a very difficult time. You guided us with knowledge and empathy throughout the entire process, taking such good care of us as we entered our next chapter. Thank you!”

- Donna & Bill C

"Lisa and Laurie were fantastic to work with! We live in California but needed to sell a condo in Newcastle, so we relied on them to take care of everything. They went way beyond the call of duty in getting the place ready to sell -- there was a giant piano that was almost impossible to get out of the condo, but Lisa and Laurie took care of it. They did a great job with staging and helping us set the sale price, and then were very active in holding open houses and setting up showings. Once we got an offer, they did a great job of explaining everything and helping us to decide whether we should accept. In the end, the sale closed on time, which was really important to us. Even though we were two states away, Lisa and Laurie made the whole process very easy for us. We would recommend working with them any time."

-Ethan R. and Allison E.

"We had a great experience working with Laurie. She sold our house quickly and gave us great advice throughout the entire process. Her communication was clear and consistent, and her professionalism truly stood out. She made everything feel smooth and stress-free. We couldn’t have asked for a better realtor!"

- C & K

“We recently had an exceptional experience working with Laurie Givan during our buying and selling process. Laurie went above and beyond in every aspect. She was knowledgeable, thoughtful, and incredibly responsive. Her attention to detail and creativity truly set her apart. As two busy professionals, we greatly appreciate how she made the entire process seamless and was always proactive in looking out for our best interests. I cannot recommend her enough to anyone looking for a dedicated and skilled professional in real estate.”
