TESTIMONIALS
What others are saying
"Any future real estate dealing I have will involve her"
"I chose to work with her because she is smart, attentive and intuitive. She took time to listen and understand my needs and what would be a good fit for my situation. I am very picky about people I work with and Laura did an excellent job. Any future real estate dealing I have will involve her. I would definitely recommend Laura to anyone looking for an agent." - Tim
"I'd love to work with her again in the future!"
"I had the pleasure of working with Laura on the other side of a sales transaction—she represented the seller, and I had a buyer client. From day one, she was incredibly professional, responsive, and well-prepared. She advocated for her sellers while keeping the process smooth and collaborative. I’d love to work with her again in the future!" - Sydney V.
"We're super grateful to Laura for helping us find out home."
"My husband and I needed to buy a house on a tight 3 month timeline, were buying from out of town, and honestly were pretty picky... I don’t think we would have found the right house had she not been so critically thoughtful. As out of town buyers, she visited houses on our behalf and recorded videos where she gave helpful and thorough narrations. She even recorded driving around the nearby streets. The sellers of the house we ultimately bought were not using an agent, so she even guided them on some things so that everything went smoothly. Laura also advised on finding the right lender for such a short timeline, which was a life saver!

"Her expertise gave us confidence"
"We had a fantastic experience working with Laura Shinkle while purchasing our new build and selling our previous home. She kept us informed every step of the way, offering clear communication and practical solutions to any challenges that came up. Laura's knowledge of the local market helped us price our home to sell quickly and maximize its value, even in a tough market. Her expertise gave us confidence, and her proactive updates made the whole process smooth and stress-free. We highly recommend Laura Shinkle for anyone looking to buy or sell. Her professionalism, market insight, and client-focused approach truly set her apart.." - Jason L.
