ZillowVERIFIEDWe'd been considering a move out of NYC for over 5yrs. It was not an easy decision. Which town, which neighborhood, which house. We worked with more than 10 brokers in 3 different towns over this time. We only genuinely disliked one of them, but all but one of the rest, despite being perfectly lovely, followed the same playbook - take our specs and show us a bunch of houses we can afford but won't like, then one we'll love but is way over budget. Rinse & repeat. It was disheartening, frustrating. Laurie Morris was the exception. We met Laurie (the M in KMS) through an old friend. Like all the rest, she asked what we wanted. But it was immediately clear that she, unlike all the rest, was actually listening, hearing the important points about location, environment, price. When we went out with her the first time 18mos ago (Oct-'19)we saw 5 or 6 houses and, if I'm honest, I'd have lived in any one of them - they fit perfectly within the descriptions we'd provided. But we weren't ready. We continued our search in Greenwich, Darien (with other brokers), but I'd hear from Laurie from time to time...but only - and this is important - only when a new listing that fit our criteria came online...and within moments of it doing so. One of these caught our eye and we jumped, and so did Laurie - ensuring that we got early, exclusive access, lining up high-quality inspectors, lawyers, and contractors so we could make an informed decision quickly, comfortably. She patiently, deftly held our hands while we navigated the process, making one of life's most stress-inducing experiences feel quite natural, easy. Our offer was accepted May 12. We closed June 29. And with the help of an army of contractors that Laurie helped us source and schedule, we moved in July 18. With 3 children. In the middle of a global pandemic.
