Laura is absolutely amazing at what she does. I went through three other agents prior to Laura, and thankfully I did. The fact that I am a Veteran and a first time home buyer combined created it's own stress point, howerver Laura helped mediate the stress and made everything extremely smooth. She was always very quick to respond to my texts or calls (and trust me I text and called a lot). I could'nt be happier with her as my agent. I am still in shock that I am a homeowner. And one thing to add as a cherry on top is the fact that she helped me purchase a home in a flat out sellers market. After multiple offers shut down by the prior agents, Laura made it happen. I will forever be greatful of her sharp skills and up-beat personality.

Laura is an amazing realtor and an amazing person. She is patient, kind, knowledgable, flexible, and not pushy. Wether she had a place to show us, or we wanted to see one, she immediately responded, set everything up, and we never had to do anything. She's on top of everything, all the time. Laura's also flexible and often worked around our schedules. When we were ready to put in an offer (at this time remotely), she advised us so accurately that we got our dream condo although there was a lot of interest from other parties. We were able to do a facetime walkthrough and she gave us all the time we needed. During the purchase process, she handled everything and had all the contacts we needed. From local brokers / lender contacts (they beat the others we found ourselves) to inspectors to appraisers - she took care of it all and we never had to think or plan for more than a few hours or a day ahead. During closing, she was invaluable with her information and experience re. HOA's, gardeners, cleaners, repair people, A/C - ANYTHING. Bottom line, she knows what she's doing, is a local on the island, and has tons of insight and connections. Since we are remote, she was the right person for us. She and her partner Roy even went out to stores and helped us to upgrade the condo. Highly recommend Laura. She truly is the best.

Laura was fantastic! She reached out before I even arrived to the area and guided me through the available properties with patience and professionalism. She was able to answer all my (many) questions both in person and through the phone. In the end, she was able to find me a beautiful apartment that was just right for me. Thank you, Laura!

Laura was very patient with us in our adventure to find the perfect vacation home. She was very knowledgeable about the island and what to look for in each place we looked at. We highly recommend her to help you purchase your property.

My husband Tom and I were first-time home buyers and we couldn’t have asked for a better realtor to work with than Laura. She is extremely savvy, kept us well-informed, and after finding us the house of our dreams - she did everything in her power to ensure a smooth closing. 10/10 would recommend hiring Laura to help you find the perfect home!

I couldn’t recommend Laura enough. She was great to work with through the whole process. She was very flexible through our hectic schedules with work and a toddler. She was always on top of things and helped keep us organized. She’s very knowledgeable in everything and when she didn’t have an answer to something she was quick to figure it out. We actually enjoyed meeting her each weekend to look at houses because she’s personable and fun to work with.

I was very fortunate to have Laura Shively as my agent. As a first timer, I felt most fortunate because she was able to help me understand the complicity involved and I received professional guidance every step of the way.

Whether it is a person's first home or not, Laura has the knowledge, expertise and experience to make the process go smoothly.

Laura was extremely knowledgeable in finding a house that fit my needs and was very professional. She was responsive and truly worked hard throughout the entire process. Writes great offers and was able to get me into my dream home at the perfect price! You want Laura as your realtor, you won't find anyone better.

It was my sincere pleasure working with Laura on the sale of my home. The whole process exceeded my expectations, Laura is a total professional providing advice and timely paperwork processing to make the experience a breeze. I will be recommending her whenever possible to a buyer or seller in the Sacramento area. Thank you SO much Laura, you’re the bomb!

As first time homebuyers, my husband and I had an amazing experience with Laura. She worked extremely hard to get us the perfect house and was always available when we needed her. She always listened to us and kept our best interests in mind. We would highly recommend her!

Laura did amazing! We are a family with three rambunctious kids, hoping to make a move from our starter home to a home where the three could run wild. We are not investors, just a regular family trying to compete in this wild housing market. Laura was able to get our offer accepted, despite not being the highest offer, and despite being a contingent offer. Once accepted, we were on a race to get our home listed and in contract. Laura was patient, and even came over with her team to help us get the house ready to list. Our home was in contract a few days after listing. Laura is a miracle worker.

Laura was absolutely fantastic and I highly recommend using her expertise if you are considering selling your house. She has a terrific attitude, great ideas, and will go above and beyond the call of duty in order to sell your home. She completely knows the business and her knowledge made us feel really confident during the whole process. The fees she charges are more than fair, and she is definitely not a greedy real estate agent. It was a total pleasure to work with her. If you are considering selling in the future, call NextHome and ask for Laura's services. We were thrilled and I am sure you will be too.

Laura was AMAZING! She helped us sell our home and was the most helpful realtor that we have ever dealt with. She made special arrangements to assist us in our move out-of-state by contacting a realtor there to help us find a rental. She was always available, offered assistance over and above what a realtor would normally help out with and is a very nice person too! We would highly recommend her services!

Laura Shively is amazing! She fought for us to get a house especially during this crazy market. Laura cares for her clients, treats them like family and is very responsive. 10/10 recommend.

Laura was a great realtor. We worked with her for several weeks in an attempt to hunt down our first home. Laura answered every question we had and graciously made herself available around the clock. Without her knowledgeable expertise we wouldn’t have been able to find our new home!

Laura and her partner Roy were amazing they made themselves available all times of the day. They went above and beyond to try and get us a house at a fair price. I would recommend them every day of the week and twice on Sunday.

Working with Laura was fantastic from start to finish. Throughout the process of selling our home she was not only professional, thorough, and reliable but friendly to boot. Being somewhat particular sellers, she was flexible in tailoring her marketing plan to suit our preferences, and the photographer she hired was absolutely fantastic. We would absolutely rely on Laura again for any real estate needs we may have in the future and would not hesitate in recommending her to friends and family! Top notch!!!

Laura and her team were very professional and prompt , they followed through till the end of the process and were very helpful along the way with information regarding preparation through negotiations to complete sale. I would not hesitate to use Laura's company to buy or sell a home in the future.

Sincerely,

My son, Archie Alimagno, recommended Laura to us so that we can purchase a home closer to his family. Laura helped us secure a home that is only 3 blocks away from my son and his family! Great job.

In terms of communication, Laura was attentive to our needs and provide us with regular updates on the homes that we were interested in. She worked tirelessly to coordinate with Loan & Title personnel so that we can get first hand information that is easily understood. The entire process was difficult for us since everything is esigning this and DocuSign that, etc., but with her help as well as my son & granddaughter we got through it. My husband and I are in our 80s and not use to this type of signing. Final thoughts. Laura was patient and understand of our needs and had an excellent team that got us through this very difficult process. Highly Recommended!

She kept us in the loop on any updates needed and answered our questions in a timely manner. I’m very happy we went with her and so happy we are in our home! I would definitely recommend her as an agent to anyone wanting to buy a house!

Laura was AMAZING! From the start she was very determined to help our family get into our first home! We had spoken to a handful of realtors agents before meeting with Laura and they were never patient like she was. We appreciate how professional and organized she was. Her efficiency was very amazing! We were able to learn a lot from the whole experience and very happy to have done so with Laura! Anyone needing an informative and assertive and super sweet, kind realtor, she is definitely the way to go! Thank you Laura!!! We love ya! ❤️
