WHAT MY CLIENTS SAY

We were fortunate enough to work with Laurie twice in the last 18 months.

WHAT MY CLIENTS SAY

There are lots of agents out there, but they aren’t Laurie Turner.” That’s how my late husband described our experience with Laurie on selling our home and buying our condominium. His medical needs made viewing properties difficult and presented challenges for our “wish list” of what we needed in a condo but Laurie worked wonders finding the right property to accommodate his needs and our comfort.

WHAT MY CLIENTS SAY

Laurie, we are so pleased with how you handled the sale of our property from start to finish. Your organization, focus and follow-through were so impressive. I appreciated the fact that you personally were involved with appointments rather than just having a lock box for any realtor to come through with a client. I understand now why you are in the top 1% internationally with Coldwell Banker.
