Laurie is an effective, efficient and delightful realtor to work with! As a first time home buyer, I had many questions along the way. Laurie made herself available for every text message, email and phone call!
My purchasing time frame happened to fall across multiple holidays and Laurie was extremely helpful in managing through my inspection period, repair negotiations and closing processes - even when my lending team was taking back to back vacations during this process- Laurie was there to help me fill in those gaps and make sure we closed on time.
Her professional network is reliable and the home inspector she connected me with was most likely the best inspector in the area.
I'm a single person with a large special needs dog and a full-time high demand career. There were times in this process where I simply could not make the time to do the steps needed to be done- Laurie was there to remind me when deadlines were approaching. Reminders I needed very badly! There were also times when I simply could not afford to give my full attention to this process, and I had full confidence and trust that Laurie was taking care of everything in those moments.
I have, and will continue to, recommend Laurie as a realtor to anyone looking to purchase a home! Thank you, Laurie!

Buying a house in the current market was an intimidating prospect and I wasn’t fully prepared. But working with Laurie made it feel easy. She made my home purchase a priority, jumped on every open house opportunity and made assertive and bold offers on my behalf. She reminded me that the goal was to invest in myself and kept me focused. I can’t recommend her enough!

Laurie is the very best realtor we have ever worked with. She helped us define what we were looking for price-wise and what neighborhood would be the best fit for us. Then, she worked relentlessly to get us what we wanted in a very tight market. She was on top of every detail from our financing, the offer process, our inspections, and closing. In a process that is often fraught with emotions, Laurie was reassuring and optimistic, organized and thorough, kind and, when needed, humorous. I’ve already recommended her to all my friends. If you want to succeed in buying the house of your dreams, then choose Laurie—she will get you there; you will be happy.

I highly recommend working with Laurie Bornstein on selling your home! Not only will she go above and beyond every step of the way, but she's also a delightful human to have on your side during what can be a somewhat stressful, while equally exciting chapter in life. Here's what I appreciated about my experience selling with her recently:
1. She's fast and efficient. I gave her an extremely short window (like 24-48 hours notice) to list my home and she showed up on time, organized, and dialed! WOW! A true miracle worker!!!!
2. She's a clear communicator. You will know what is happening every step of the way, she's to the point, honest, and effective. Life is busy enough, and she makes selling easier as she keeps all lines of communication open and transparent.
3. She goes above and beyond. I was on holiday when my home went on the market. Laurie took extra care in preparation of getting my home prepped and ready, which allowed me peace of mind while being away. Trust me, you're in good hands with her! She works hard.
4. She's creative. She see's the bigger picture, thinks outside the box, and will get you the results you want.
5. She's results-oriented. I'd describe her as the teammate you'd want on your side if it was the final 30 seconds of the basketball game and you're 3 points down. I'd pass it to her every single time, knowing with full trust she's going to make the shot. She's just that good!
6. She's willing to put in the work. I also bought/sold simultaneously with Laurie and she didn't bat an eye when I asked us to spend an entire Friday venturing from Portland, to Milwaukee, to Tillamook, to McMinnville. She is a true heroine! That my friends is a very full day. And she did it with grace, kindness, and organizational skills that are a 10 out of 10.
On a personal level, I would like to share that Laurie is the woman you truly want as your realtor because she will offer you emotional support, stability, empathy, and honesty when you may need it the most. She's creatively charged, funny, and honestly it was a pleasure to get to know her. She's someone I would be honored to host at my dinner table as a friend anytime.

Laurie was outstanding. I am very happy with my condo in Lake Oswego. She really listened to what I wanted and found a great place. She kept me advised before and during closing and has continued to provide assistance after the sale.
She is very pleasant to work with and is the ultimate professional. I would highly recommend Laurie, have recommended her to my friends and she would be my go-to person for any real estate purchases in the future.

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 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!

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!
