Laura Aguero

Q: 1. What advice would you give a buyer trying to purchase a home?

Work with a realtor! They can help guide you through the process and reduce the stress.

Q: 2. What advice would you give a seller trying to sell their home?

Declutter and then declutter some more! People need to be able to visualize themselves living in your home and it's harder for them to do so if your personal photos and momentos are still out and prominently placed.

Q: 3. What types of clients have you worked with?

Anyone wanting to buy, sell, or invest in real estate.

Q: 4. Describe a recent transaction you are fond of. How did it go?

My favorite part of any transaction is building community and authentic relationships. Becoming friends, neighbors, and community partners with my clients definitely fills my cup!

Q: 5. How did you get started in Real Estate?

My husband and I started buying fixer-upper homes early in our marriage and living in them while we flipped them. We have steadily been able to work our way up into the neighborhoods we want to live in with some sweat equity.

Q: 6. Do you have any special education or training that will benefit your clients?

I have a background in fundraising and development in the non-profit sector. I know how to work with limited resources to get the goal achieved.

Laura did a phenomenal job working with me to sell my home in Windsor Heights, IA. From the first time I initiated contact to the final closing, she was always very quick to respond and offer her knowledge and support. She walked me through the process and kept an open ear for any questions that I had. I would strongly recommend her as a competent and amazing realtor in the Des Moines area. Simply put, she is fantastic.

Our family had a great experience with Laura as first time home buyers! She was very patient with us as we learned the process of home buying and looked at many homes. We had a smaller budget and she worked with us to find a home that fit us perfectly. We would highly recommend using Laura!

Laura responded quickly to the initial inquiry and has been really helpful in the final steps to closing. She was able to provide the assistance I needed to understand the process and walked me through options as we sold the family home.

Laura was wonderful. Did such a great job our house sold within the first 4 days. Closing was a breeze. We were headed out of town, so she deposited the for us. That was very helpful for us. Thanks Laura!

Laura has been great to work with over the last year. We have searched for and I have purchased multiple investment properties with her as an agent. She is creative on her approach and willing to think outside the box with you on different ideas or possibilities. I will continue working with her for future properties to buy and sell.

Laura not only helped me with the selling process on the Runnells house but also helped me through the buying process on another property in Des Moines. She answered all of my questions and helped with the pricing process on the Runnells house until we found the right price point where it sold.

Laura did an outstanding job of selling my home in only six days! Her knowledge of the residential real estate industry is excellent, and I appreciated her timely response to questions, attention to details, and strong communication skills. She was incredibly helpful in preparing my home for the market and for keeping me informed throughout the process.

Laura did a great job helping us negotiate the terms for purchasing our current home in Des Moines, and was very patient (and proactive!) in helping us sell our previous home in Urbandale. Unfortunately, we put it on the market just as it was taking a seasonal downturn, but Laura was wonderful at keeping her eyes on the long-term prize, helping identify small but meaningful improvements to increase the home's appeal, and using every technique she could to get people into the houseaEUR"she was drawing visitors for open houses at a time when it seemed no one else could! She's sensible, helpful, responsive, and reliable, and is a great resource whether you're buying or selling your home!

Laura did an outstanding job with helping my husband and I through the journey of finding our first home. Laura was very personable, professional, timely, and kind. She was available through text 24/7 and responded to us promptly. She has very great expertise with the housing market and because of this helped us find the perfect home for us. During the negotiation process, the house had multiple offers - but we still won the deal because of Laura?s dedication to her clients. She was truly amazing to work with for so many reasons.
