Here's what our buyers and sellers say...
Laurie is simply the best. I've worked with her before and there was question that I'd choose her again. Laurie facilitated the sale of one home and purchase of another in a highly-competitive market. She made it as easy for us as could be. Laurie is attentive to her clients' needs, extremely knowledgeable of the market, and compassionate towards the emotional challenges that come with buying and selling homes. Furthermore, Laurie is just an all-around wonderful person who cares a great deal about her clients and her community.
Our daughter and her husband used Laurie's services twice and were very satisfied, so they recommended her highly. Laurie was accessible, knowledgeable, thorough and responsive throughout our housing search and purchase. Laurie was excellent, and we had a wonderful experience! Bottom line: She did a fantastic job for us!!
We didn't have much interaction with Sarah, but Laurie did an excellent job at listing, marketing, and selling our home. In such trying and difficult times, Laurie managed to get our house shown and sold. She always kept us in the loop about what was going on and followed up on all of our showings. Laurie continues to work with us in our search for a new home.
Our friends -- had great success with Laurie --- and that worked for us !!! we had not moved in 30 years --- Laurie was great. !!!
Top notch. You would be an idiot to choose someone else.
Sarah Dalton came highly recommended from a friend/colleague at Notre Dame to help me buy my first house. As a young, single, female grad student, Sarah understood that safety (community/location & property) was a high priority, and helped me navigate the process with clear expertise. Seeking her out to sell the house was a no-brainer, and she did a phenomenal a job! Sarah's expertise in the field and knowledge of the local area helped us craft a powerful strategy that sold the house in 1.5 days with 6 full price+ offers despite COVID-19 restrictions. Her professionalism, availability, and incredible service made the experience seamless. Sarah provided essential expertise and advice, and answered all our questions as they came up, no matter how insignificant or silly they seemed! The entire process was unbelievably smooth, largely thanks to her suggestions in setting a listing price, timing of listing the home, negotiations, and closing. I could not recommend her highly enough to anyone looking to buy or sell in the area!
Laurie LaDow and Sarah Dalton, were friendly, informative, professional and got my parents house sold the first week it was on the market!
Laurie was an absolute pleasure to work with. There were a few things we learned right off the bat; her experience and knowledge are unmatched and she was going to make this whole process very easy for us - which she most certainly did! Being first-time home sellers, she was very careful to explain to us exactly what to expect, what adjustments to make to our home to ensure it would sell on our terms, and she answered every one of our (many) questions in a very timely manner. Our home sold within 36 hours. We could not be happier to have had such a highly respected and knowledgeable partner like Laurie LaDow by our side! We would recommend her anyone and everyone we know that's thinking about selling or buying a house. They would be lucky to have her.
On a 10-point scale -- Laurie LaDow is an eleven. I have known Laurie personally for several years. I have also followed her sales record, because we knew we would eventually sell my mother-in-law's home. Laurie had the right combo for us and Cressy & Everett has a great reputation as well. Going in, we had a sense of the property value. The home is a villa/combo and there are plenty of comps. Our interest was getting the best price we could -- without being on the market very long, ideally less than 6 weeks. We went to contract about 48 hours after we put the house on the market -- and had competing bids. Laurie did a marvelous job negotiating and we made substantially more than we expected, in less time than we expected. You CANNOT beat that! Everything about our sale was perfect. I was particularly impressed with Laurie's research, pricing strategy, marketing, and negotiating skills. Just as important was how well Laurie worked with our family and how well she communicated with my mother-in-law as we prepared the home for sale. We are very happy customers. Our entire family will use Laurie for all of our real estate transactions and we will enthusiastically recommend her to everyone!
I was very pleased with all the hard work Laurie LaDow did for the sale of my house. (I didn't have a chance to work directly with Sarah Dalton). The sale of a historic house like mine is a difficult enterprise and needs a lot of understanding and patience. Laurie has these and many other positive characteristics.
