Happy New Year!

Celebrating 20 years with Coldwell Banker, Orinda.

A Trusted Partnership Local Expertise with Global Connections.

“Laura recently sold our home in Orinda

where we achieved our target asking price in a tricky market. Laura proved herself to be one of those consummate professionals that goes far above and beyond to help her client optimize their sale. Her perception and expert advice guided us in improvements, repairs and staging that delivered great value for money.

Throughout the process she provided us great professional services support that was affordable and expert. ” - Richard

“Our experience was unique. The buyer

faced challenges that Laura helped them navigate to bring the sale to an efficient close- all with the eye to helping us and ensuring we were satisfied. I cannot say enough about her dedication, knowledge and experience. You will be in great hands with Laura- the difference between just another realtor and hard-working, caring, advocate and professional adviser. ” - Jeff

Interest Rates Are Still Low. There are many pre-approved buyers ready to buy and We Have Very Few Homes To Sell.

Let’s meet and discuss strategies.
