Buy with Confidence
You need a partner who knows the neighborhoods, the market and the process. But more importantly, you need a trusted advisor who will get to know you and your needs and desires. This isn't about a house, it's about your future home. You don't want to live with it. You want to love it.

Whether you’re a first-time home buyer, upsizing, downsizing, considering a relocation or an investor, I'll guide you through every step of your real estate journey with professionalism, creativity, a sense of humor and a genuine love for all things home.


Sell with Confidence
You need a partner who knows the selling process, marketing, and negotiations. But more importantly, you need a trusted advisor who understands what's important to you and how to get you there. This is about you and having your best interests in mind and the expertise to accomplish your goals.

When we’re preparing your home for sale you can be confident that my marketing materials, professional photography and staging guidance will be top notch. While searching for your next home, I'll be listening to your desires and aspirations while keeping an eye out for properties with potential to become the ideal home for you.


I'm your advocate, matchmaker and trusted advisor. I'm committed to bringing you the best service I can offer while helping you reach your goals with confidence, on time, on budget and happy!

Choosing and buying a home isn't just about how it looks. Choosing and buying a home is about how it feels. Home is a place to make new memories, share old stories and begin the next chapter.

Your story, starts at home...let's begin the next chapter together

My wife and I have been using Laurie Bornstein as our agent in buying a home in Lake Oswego. We couldn't rate her more highly. 5 stars, all the way. Especially so in this very challenging market (for buyers).

She is an incredibly hard worker and diligent researcher. Totally ahead of the curve in identifying appropriate homes for our consideration. When evaluating three key indicators (location, price and features), she totally nails it. Just as importantly, she has treated us with unfailing respect and courtesy, and she always has a positive, can do, attitude.

Again, we give Laurie the very highest rating as a real estate agent.

We feel very fortunate to have had Laurie represent us in the sale of our townhome. She was a fountain of ideas for an effective sales strategy that we needed. She understood our particular requirements for the sale of our home. She provided lots of positive energy to guide us through our moments of doubt during the quiet Christmas holidays when no one was looking for a new home.
Laurie's interior design background was very helpful to see possibilities for an attractive layout in our home and even assisting us with buying new carpet. She was very good about following up with her commitment to keep us informed at every step.
Laurie's very knowledgeable negotiation skills guided the sales process to a very successful conclusion for us. We highly recommend her.

When I began my search for my home, I was lucky enough to have the knowledge, insight, and support of Laurie Bornstein. She is not only professional, but also patient, helpful, and friendly. Every question I may have had, she had an answer for. Buying a home can be overwhelming and confusing, and Laurie was there every step of the way to make the process less stressful. Thank you Laurie. I love my new home.

Laurie is very clear and precise with delivering information. She answered all questions I had with such confidence, Laurie truly knows the ins and outs of Real Estate. Laurie’s strong background in Design puts her ahead of the average broker as she is able to to provide knowledge on the proprieties you look at. After talking with Laurie, her passion for Real Estate is clearly shown. Moving forward, I will be recommending Laurie to everyone I know looking to Sell or Buy. Thank you Laurie for everything!

Laurie always went above and beyond for us and helped us purchase a home in a VERY competitive market in under 30 days! I cannot recommend her highly enough!

Laurie is an absolute gift to the real estate world! Her past experience, and the many hats she has worn, give her a unique perspective on house hunting. I felt grateful being able to tap into her prior experience as a designer while looking at houses. She's so incredibly organized, friendly, and understanding, she could work with virtually anyone.


When I first came to Laurie I said: “I've got 11/2 months to be in a new home, let’s hit the ground running!” She worked me hard narrowing down exactly what I wanted. And She Got It! We hadn't even looked a full week before finding the perfect house! I feel so fortunate to have found Laurie. It made the whole house hunting experience so much easier.

I highly recommend Laurie to help you find your next home! We meet Laurie at an open house where she was representing the seller. We were very impressed with her knowledge of the all the pocket neighborhoods, her attitude, and all the information handouts she provided. We continued to be impressed after reaching out and discussing our home search. Laurie communicated well, showed us neighborhoods we hadn't considered, and really helped guide us through an incredibly hot (and frustrating) market. We put offers on 2 houses before we found the house we ended up buying. I can say with confidence we would not own this house if not for Laurie. She was critical in helping us stand out in a field of multiple offers. She went above and beyond not just in helping us buy the house but in facilitating some repair work after we took possession. She has also been in touch since just to say hello and see how we are doing. Again I highly recommend Laurie. She was great!

Laurie was great to work with, especially as a first time homebuyer. She was knowledgeable and laid on the process for me and helped me every step of the way. She was patient with me in answering all my questions and quick to respond and always available to me. She provided me guidance and kindness and helped me find my perfect first home.

Under very difficult conditions, during Covid-19, Lori helped us find and buy a 1031 tax exchange property in Portland, Or. Due to the situation, and under time constraints, we had to purchase the property site unseen. To say that Laurie did a terrific job on this project is an understatement. She took us through the house virtually (more than once), lined up all the people needed to do the inspections and managed the closing process end to end.

Overall, thanks to Laurie, the process was totally seamless and went off without a hitch. Laurie knows her business thoroughly and was a pleasure to work with. We can't recommend her highly enough.

This was the first house my wife and I have bought. So we don’t have to much experience with the realtor world but I do know for a fact that Laurie is one of the best ones anyone could ever have. She will fight for you every step of the way and goes far beyond what a normal agent will. Whenever we get another piece of property she will be the first and only person we will call.

Laurie is absolutely amazing. We're first time home buyers and had no idea what we were doing. Not only does she offer a lot of knowledge to help find what you want, she'll also catch potential problems quickly and advise when to walk away from a potentially bad investment. Laurie takes care of her clients and works hard to find what's best for them.

Laurie is a fantastic agent. I met her at an open home I had visited and was immediately impressed. She really seeks to understand what you're looking for then works hard for you the whole way through. From touring, through the offer process, through escrow until you finally land in your new home she does a heck of a job. Can't recommend enough, she's an awesome agent.

For most people, buying and selling a house is a time of anxiety but Laurie is a consummate pro and champion at minimizing the stress of the process.  She is focused and unflappable, and with Laurie no question is ever too dumb to ask.  While you might set about hiring an agent to navigate the negotiations of a real estate transaction, with Laurie you also get an interior designer, counselor, therapist, and party planner rolled up in a single package.  She is the absolute best, full stop!

Laurie is a truly fantastic realtor in every aspect of the business. She asked all the right questions about what we were looking for, suggested some interesting options for us to check out as well as showed us the homes we wanted to see, and was a pro at negotiating with the other realtors. She’s fun to work with as well as has a background in feng shui and interior design which helped us massively both for staging our previous home and picturing where our furniture could go in our new home. Consider yourself lucky if you can work with her!

Of the 20+ homes we have visited in the past week, Laurie's showing was by far the most welcoming, natural, informational, and pleasant. She took her time and reflected her depth of local experience and knowledge with her overview of the surrounding area and the home itself. I wish every home for sale had a Laurie B waiting inside!

Managing Principal Broker, Lake Oswego/West Linn Branch;Windermere Realty Trust
I have been a Branch Manager for almost 15 years. Part of my responsibility is recruiting and training new agents. Doing this - you rarely have 100% certainty that a new agent can navigate the often turbulent waters of this industry. That they have the drive, intelligence, marketing savvy and innate sense of customer service and dedication to their clients needed to not only be successful, but also to make sure their clients reach their real estate goals and to not only meet, but exceed client expectations. With Laurie - I was 100% certain from Day 1... and the highest compliment I can pay her is - even as a licensed Realtor, I would select her to assist in the selling of my home and a related purchase. I am very proud she is associated with us here at Windermere Realty Trust!

Without reservation, Laurie B. is amazing. I have worked with a lot of professionals and it is the rare breed who can match Laurie. Her sense of humor and high level of emotional intelligence make working with her a true pleasure. The only problem with someone like Laurie, and don't say you were not warned. Once your have purchased/sold your home. You might find yourself feeling a bit of loss, without her daily interaction.

Laurie is wonderful. She sold us our home here in Portland and is now preparing to sell our condo in the Pearl District. She willingly goes the extra mile, arranging for cleaning, new carpet, and all the extras needed to show the unit well. She is full of energy, ideas, and enthusiasm.

If you’re looking for a top notch agent you’ve found her. We met Laurie when she was hosting an open house that we attended and In talking to her we knew right away that she was the agent we were looking for- and we were right! She found us the most perfect home we could imagine, and is currently working on getting our condo ready for market. It will be great. We are lucky indeed. Thank you Laurie!

I was fortunate to be referred to Laurie shortly after she began her Real Estate career. In the time since we had our first meeting, I have had a front row seat to the passion, selflessness and dedication she has for her clients and doing business in the right way. Her character, charisma and knowledge will have you feeling grateful for making the decision to work with her. I highly recommend you give her a call if you or anyone else you know needs a Real Estate professional!

Laurie was able to find a first home for my daughter, as i was 1500 miles away and could not be involved. Laurie spent time with my daughter to understand what she was looking for,, and helped to locate a home that was beyond what she thought she could get. We have referred several others to Laurie, knowing she will give them her best effort.
