Client Accolades

“She definitely went above and beyond. Her strengths are her knowledge about the Seattle area and neighborhoods. In addition, she provided valuable insights about the integrity of houses we were seeing and materials used in the houses. In some cases she even steered us away from bad decisions”

“We are so grateful that Laura has been with us for every step of the home buying process. She has been readily available and able to answer all of our questions, going above and beyond to ensure that we find a home that is the perfect fit.”

“Laura was amazing to work with. She helped me through the process of buying a home step by step. Never pushy and always willing and ready to show homes I was interested in. She’s always willing to go the extra mile. The process of buying a home can be scary or intimidating, but Laura made the process so easy. She is definitely someone you can trust. I highly recommend her. Thanks Laura for a great experience!”

“Laura was amazing. We had some interesting circumstances with a job change that required a very quick move. On top of being extremely knowledgeable about the market, she was so helpful and responsive in helping prepare the house for the move, from initial conversation to listing happened in less than a week and our first offer within 24 hrs. Furthermore, when we ran into some appraisal issues, she was extremely helpful in navigating the negotiation process. I would highly recommend Laura.”

“Michelle is absolutely amazing. She has a wealth of knowledge and goes above and beyond to help at every stage of the process. We looked at one home, fell in love with it, contacted Michelle, and she helped us move into our dream home with 14 other bids at play. She answered all my questions from the escrow process to favorite local restaurants and everything in between. I HIGHLY recommend working with Michelle!”

“I can not say enough about how amazing our experience was with Michelle. We had a complex and untraditional negotiation, in the start of the Covid-19 pandemic, and we had a baby during the negotiation process! She made owning a home possible for us and brought a level of humanity and compassion to the transaction that is commonly missing. I strongly recommend working with Michelle Beckman!”

“Laura is focused and supportive. She listened to what I wanted, helped me clarify my preferences with focused while still allowing room to see possibilities. She has an upbeat and positive outlook, and was encouraging and patient (it took me over a year to find my home). We both learned a lot during the process, and Laura remained supportive and knowledgeable through the entire experience, and even after I purchased the home. She's a great person to have in your court!”

“Laura made my first time buying process as smooth as possible despite my travel schedule and sketchy notaries! I really appreciated the houses and patience her and Diane showed me, it was very helpful for taking the time to form a better idea of what I wanted - which I ended up getting!”

“Laura Highsmith is amazing! She was very proactive and found our new home in Seattle. Even though this wasn't our first home purchase, Laura guided us through our journey, from finding us the perfect home which met our family needs to finding the best Loan Officer. She has the patience of a saint. If not for her reassurances and advice, we wouldn't have got our home as easy as we did. Laura's experience speaks for itself. She wears many "hats" and will give you the best experience possible. I highly recommend Laura Highsmith to anyone in search of a new property.”

“We were so fortunate to have found Laura. She was always on our side working to make our house purchase as simple and successful as possible. Laura was always focused on answering a million of our questions and giving us good advice. She was available any time we needed her. Laura's time management was perfect. Everything was happening on our own schedule without any of the pushy sales stuff. Obviously, she loves her work. Believe me, it means a lot. I would highly recommend Laura to anyone.”

“I had a great experience with Laura as she helped me and my boyfriend buy our first home! We enjoyed working with her because she was great at communicating, was always quick to reply to any of our questions or concerns, and had a very flexible schedule. Laura is knowledgeable and we really valued her advice when we asked for it. Also random but super important- my boyfriend and I are kind of young and at some open houses we felt like we weren't taken seriously, but that wasn't the case here. Laura was respectful and had our best interests in mind.”

“We met Laura accidentally while visiting to get a feel for the West Seattle area about a year before our sale. We weren't ready to buy at the time, but she said to keep her info on hand. When we reached out over email, she remembered us immediately and scheduled a call to walk us through the current landscape and next steps. We were transplants from California purchasing sight unseen, so Laura and her team were a godsend for us. With their services, our first offer was accepted and we couldn't believe it! The home of our dreams. We trusted her all the way with each recommendation and have had 0 regrets! She is professional, patient, personable, and truly cares about the community. If you want someone who is responsive, look no further! No matter the time or day, Laura is on call. The welcome gifts we received upon closing were so thoughtful too. After our experience, we couldn't recommend Laura highly enough. If you're looking to buy a home, this is the team to connect with!”

“We are first time home buyer and have 0 experience and knowledge about the process and what to expect. We met Laura in an open house when she was representing the seller. From the way she talks and explains things, you can feel that she is open minded, willing to listen, and puts you in the first place. After a short 5 mins chat, I immediately asked her to be my agent and help me with the process.To any first time home buyer like us, these traits are especially important. She has been very responsive and helpful since day 1. We found our lovely place after a 1.5 months search and closed the house within 15 days! I feel very lucky to have Laura as our agent and I highly recommend working with her! :)”

“I am a transplant from New England. I had very little area knowledge but knew I wanted to be close to SODO for commuting. Diane helped to determine what my "must haves" were for the home I was looking for and drove me around neighborhoods to show me what was available in the commuting zone I was wanted to stay within. Once she showed me the exact home I wanted, she advised me on a negotiation plan and made all the necessary arrangements (in a very short timeframe). I could not have been happier with the finance company she put me in touch with as my bank could not meet the turnaround time I needed as well as the home inspector she was able to get me an appointment with in same week. I am over the top happy with my home and the entire process thanks to Diane.”

“Michelle was awesome to work with, from the initial list of items to do to make sure the house showed the best and would receive the best offer(s) to do extensive market analysis to ensure a great initial listing price. She outlined every step of the selling process ensuring there were no surprises along the way. She followed up on every showing to gather important feedback and when there were multiple offers received on the same day, she was fantastic at helping decide which was the strongest offer to accept. She consistently went above and beyond, including amazing photos and marketing of my house and her diligence helped the selling process go smooth. I cannot recommend Michelle enough!”

“Michelle is a delight to work with. She is diligent, knowledgeable, and fierce on behalf of her client. We could not have been happier to work with her. And on top of it all, she is wonderful to be around. She is the perfect support whether you are selling or buying. I look forward to a future where we get to work with her again. 10 out of 10 a genuinely awesome human.”

“We were so lucky to find Laura! She has a deep knowledge of the neighborhoods in Seattle and worked closely with us to find properties that matched our vision. We changed strategies a couple times after we realized that what we said we wanted wasn’t actually what we wanted, having seen properties that matched those qualifications perfectly. Laura was super flexible and patient with us through this process and we ended up finding a property only after a few weeks of working together. We also appreciated Laura’s empathy with us as first time homebuyers and all of the anxiety and second guessing that comes with the process. We’d highly recommend working with Laura!”

“Laura is an excellent agent, she expedited every response to every question. There were many questions during the purchase of this home, Laura made sure we were at ease that any and all questions would be answered. This was a quick 30 day purchase that closed on time, much Thanks to Laura. She has the perfect personality for sales agent! Enjoyed working with her. ”
