Harry & Heartha Levinson.

Laurie,

Heartha & I have often spoken about how pleased we were with your actions during our search for a condo.

Contrary to what we heard about most real estate people you conducted your search for us in a very effective business like manner.  You took the time to find out what we wanted and showed us only those things that were appropriate.  You were on top of things early so we got the first look at new items on the market.

When we purchased our condo and had a home to sell you didn’t push us to get the listing.  We appreciated that very much.

You two are very good in your field.  Any customer will be fortunate to have you work for them in procuring a condo.

Heip & Caryl Quach

Dear Laurie,

Caryl & I wish to thank you for your professional assistance in selling our home in Magnolia and purchasing the new one in Queen Anne.  We also appreciate your patience as well as your knowledge during our long search for a new home.

You represented us well in both transactions, and we are prepared to extend our highest recommendation for your service to any potential client.

Best wishes, and please stay in touch

As an ex-realtor, I recognize what buyers and sellers ware looking for in a realtor.  Finding a realtor with whom one can feel comfortable with is absolutely essential!  Also, finding a realtor with both the knowledge and expertise needed in real estate dealings is paramount!  Laurie Way demonstrated a high degree of professionalism throughout our dealings with her when she recently listed and sold our mothers home.  What we especially appreciated about Laurie was how well informed they kept us of all happenings.  Having been on both sides of the fence – I realize how important this is.  Laurie Way is professional and hard working  And last but not least – their clients benefit from Laurie’s wonderful chocolate chip cookies!

Kathryn & Steven Piccolo

It is our sincere pleasure to highly recommend you and your services to prospective clients.  From our initial meeting it was clear that your first priority was our satisfaction.  You were so prompt in returning our calls, no matter the hour of the day, and you were very flexible in scheduling meetings around our crazy and unpredictable lives.  Most importantly, you were just as excited as we were when we found our perfect home!

Our home buying experience with Coldwell Banker - Bain Associates and yourselves was nothing but pleasant.  Your expertise in the real estate market and love for your profession and clients is evident in all you do!

Thank you so much for all you have done for us.  Please continue to use us as references whenever you may require one.  We are looking forward to being your neighbors in Seattle  and to hearing of your continued success through your upcoming newsletter!

Just a quick note to let you know how pleased we are with the new house and how thankful we are for all you have done for us!  Your love & commitment for your profession are evident in the quality of service you gave us.  There is no doubt in our minds that we have made the right decision.  Please keep in touch.

Carol & David Sult

Our realtor was excellent.  We had only four days to see over 60 homes.  She had a lot of stamina and was knowledgeable of the entire area around Seattle.

Kammi & Donald Leingang

In a word … Outstanding service by Laurie!!!  I am so impressed I have referred three people so far and will continue to.  She should be the standard for the industry. 

Thank You!

We would like to express our appreciation for you dedicated efforts in assisting us in the selection and purchase of our new condominium.  Your assistance made what had been, up to that point, a frustrating experience into an enjoyable one.

We are pleased that during our first meeting you reviewed our selection criteria and subsequently selected properties for our review that matched the criteria on as may points as possible.  As a matter of fact the final selection exceeded some of the criteria while being in our price range.  It was also refreshing that during the review process there was not the pressure that we had experienced with some agents.

After the selection was made your professional experience was invaluable in making an offer and subsequent negations.  During this process your recommendation produced an inspector who was highly skilled and exceedingly thorough in conducting the inspection.  In addition he provided excellent advice on future maintenance.

After the offer was accepted, we were pleased with your knowledge and organization of the complex documentation required to initiate the closing process.

Our satisfaction with your efforts on our behalf is typified by our recommending that our son engage you as agents to sell his home, which was done in the same professional and knowledgeable manner.

Again, thank you for your assistance.

Jim & Betty Papageorge

Laurie Way handled the sale of our home at 9243 View Ave NW, and the subsequent purchase of our condominium at 3100 W Commodore Way.

We met  Laurie while we were looking at some condominiums on our own.  Our search effort consisted of scanning the newspaper ads and picking out one or two addresses to visit on Sunday afternoon.  Usually, that is a sure fire method of finding not condominiums but disappointment.

When we met her at a condominium open house, she realized that we had sincere aspirations to move from a home to a condominium.  She formally requested that she be retained to assist us in our search.  She was pleasant enough, so we decided to work with her.  From the very first day we were impressed with her professionalism.  She surveyed the housing sales in the neighborhood and surrounding area to determine if our asking price was in line (they’re usually too high).  From us she obtained the technical description of our condominium desires and the price range we are able to consider.  A computer search for suitable properties for us to view was instigated.  At times, when we were both free, she conducted us on tours of the homes that met our criteria.  On Sundays She held open houses for potential customers at our home.  Although we all felt that are home was fairly priced, it did not sell as quickly as anticipated.  In the meanwhile we found the condominium we wanted.  We bought the condominium with the provision that our house would close within a year.

In order to spare you any further reading, our house eventually sold for 95% of the price asked.   We closed on the condominium and are now firmly ensconced.

Laurie, my wife and I, had thorough the course of events become close friends.  We never had a major disagreement and at no time did we ever feel we were not getting her best effort.

We have lived in our new home now for almost 2 years.  We still see Laurie for a drink now and then.  Not only had we been business associates, but we had become, more importantly, friends.

Our experience with Laurie has been first rate and we would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone engaged in buying or selling a home.

Details of the Recommendation: "As first time homebuyers, we could not have asked for a more exceptional, professional real estate agent. Personable, charismatic and enthusiastic, she guided us through the monumentous task of choosing a home with the amenties and location we desired. At times, we were overwhelmed, but she was always there, day and night, to answer questions, make recommendations and made the entire process seamless and thoroughly enjoyable. During the process of walking the home we ended up purchasing, she let us decide on the home and didn't force us to a decision, and that intangible professionalism is something we will never forget. When we are ready to sell and buy a new home, Laurie will be the first person we call."
