Laura just sold our house in Boston - garnering the highest sale price ever in our entire area. But, to rate her on only sale price alone, misses so much of what we appreciated about having her as our ally. She is honest and honorable, and embodies a high level of integrity and trust. Throughout the experience, Laura was always accessible and approachable making us feel like we were her only client. She is aEURoegood people,aEUR? and we enthusiastically recommend her to anyone either selling or buying or just needing advice. We know that over the years she has accumulated many accolades and awards that make her a top realtor in the country, but at the end of the day, its nice to know that you have someone good, decent, kind, and generous in your corner. It made a world of difference for us, and will for you too!
Laura is a delight to work with and very competent. She has great advice I am glad we listened. Her insights on timing, pricing, staging, and got us 2 fantastic offers within a day of listing. The people she referred us to sell, consign, clear out the house were all fantastic too. She was calm when things went sideways; encouraging and helpful the entire process. She also knows the details well enough to proactively get new smoke detectors in place before the town's fire chief inspection so it's smooth sailing. We appreciated her help immensely and highly recommend her.
Laura sold our home in Carlisle, MA two months ago. We had built our home and lived in it for 44 years, so this was our first experience selling a home. But we definitely chose the right realtor. From day one Laura was extremely attentive, knowledgeable, and helpful which we really needed as we were also making a cross-country move. She had a wonderful group of people around her as well. Everyone did their part in a timely and efficient manner. We felt like we were her only client at a time when the real estate market was booming and everyone was working non-stop. The Laura B experience really is special.
OMG, where to start? We purchased our home in 2019 from a seller whose agent was Laura Baliestiero. Working with Laura was a pleasure -- and we knew, when it came time to sell the home, Laura would be our first phone call.That time came in 2021, at the height of the sellers' market. Laura was our first -- and only -- phone call, and calling Laura was the best decision we could have made. We called Laura on a Saturday, she came over on Sunday, the home went on the market 17 days later, and, 4 days after going on the market, we accepted an offer for $400K more than we paid for it -- and there is no question that the price we got for the home was because we had Laura as our agent. We've bought and sold several homes in the past, but none was as expertly managed as this.First, and possibly foremost, Laura provided expert advice on what changes we needed to make to the home (we had the hardwood floors stripped and resurfaced) and what changes we did NOT need to make to the home (my wife had a laundry list of things she wanted to do before putting the home on the market). Laura's recommendations greatly improved the home's "showability" (is that a word? it is now) while also ensuring that we didn't overspend -- and increase the time to market -- by making unnecessary changes to the home.Second, Laura told us exactly what needed to be done to stage the home, both for pictures and for showing. This included exactly what furniture to remove from the home, what furniture to leave in place, and what needed to be moved. Then she brought in her stager to stage the home.Third, Laura's team is simply superb -- her stager, her photographer, the other agents on her team -- everyone did a terrific job, and was equally terrific to work with. The workmen that Laura recommended to perform the necessary upgrades did beautiful work. By the time the home was ready to show, it really looked fantastic. Heck, I would have bought it all over again!Fourth, Laura's formula for listing the home and reviewing offers is EXCELLENT -- and like nothing we've seen before from other real-estate agents. I don't want to give it away here; all I can say is that (1) you need to work with Laura, and (2) when she explains her listing, showing, and offer-review process, a great big lightbulb will go on and you'll say, "Wow, that makes a LOT of sense!"Between offer acceptance and closing, Laura continued to provide excellent advice -- and also worked hard to ensure that the process stayed on track to get to closing on schedule. In fact, she did a better job of managing the schedule than we did, and we had only one home to manage! :-)And finally, even after closing, Laura stayed in touch with us as final details were wrapped up.I cannot stress this enough: Had we not worked with Laura, our home would not have performed as well in the sale. Simple as that. How MUCH less it would have performed is anyone's guess, but it would have been less.Laura is wonderful to work with. She's smart, she's organized, she knows the real-estate business, she knows the knows the local market, she knows her sellers and she knows what buyers want, she has a remarkable team, and she has what is clearly a well-thought-out and very effective listing and showing process. And you're not "just another client"; we always felt as if we were Laura's only clients, even though it was the height of the real-estate craze in Massachusetts. In fact, by the time we accepted an offer, Laura was a friend of the family.If you are planning to sell a home anywhere in Laura's service area, she should be your first phone call. Really, she should be your only phone call.Laura is phenomenal, and no one else comes close.
We worked with Laura on the recent sale of our home in Acton, MA. We could not be any more complimentary of her and her process. She is a master of her craft and was a joy to work with. She made the process easy, fun, and enjoyable. She is a tremendously hard-worker and was extremely responsive and communicative throughout the entire process. We couldn't be happier with the result and would give her the strongest recommendation possible. You will not be disappointed if you choose to go with Laura. She is the best.
Laura Baliestiero was an incredibly asset to our family in both the home buying and selling process. She was clear, knowledgeable and direct. She was understanding and worked well within our parameters. She connected with us as people and genuinely cared about us as a family. And, it felt like she was ALWAYS available. As someone who also works in the service delivery space, I admire Laura for her hustle, attention to detail and care for her clients. If going through this process again, I would not even think to consider using anyone else as my agent in the Metrowest Boston area, and I would recommend her to family and friends without reservations.
Laura Baliestiero took charge of selling my sister's condo after my sister died, and she accomplished the sale with great skill and sensitivity. Since I live in a different state, Laura took on so many tasks to clean, clear out, and prepare the condo. It was such a comfort to have her help. She is empathic and warm-hearted. She helped so much with what could have been a very painful and onerous process. I highly recommend her.
We almost think of Laura as part of our family these days, having helped us to buy a Condo nearby, to sell our much loved hom, to help our daughter find a new house, and to help our daughters boyfriend sell his house. She seems to be always available , always helpful, always so knowledgeable and right on the money . She was just always there for us.If it was possible to give her a ten starred review, We would!
We first met Laura when we bought our first house from her 12 years ago. Although she was the sellers agent, she continued to stay in touch with annual holidays cards over the years. We were impressed with her persistence and continued efforts that she was the first person we thought of when it came to sell our home and move on to something bigger. We started working with Laura to prepare our home for sale pre-COVID 19 and she stuck by us throughout the pandemic. Laura was patient with us and honest about the unprecedented real estate market we all were faced with. Lauras work ethic and professionalism is unlike anything we have seen. Shes very responsive and made every effort to meet our needs and requests. There were many instances where Laura went above and beyond for us, particularly during times of transition to ensure our family was ok. As we get settled in our new home, we have no aspirations to move again; however, if we do aEUR" Laura will be our first call. We highly recommend Laura to anyone looking to sell or buy!
We are one of Laura Baliestiero's repeat customers; she has helped us to sell 3 homes and buy 2 homes. Laura's kindness, patience & knowledge really helped us to find our perfect home. Laura took a real interest to the challenge of house-hunting, especially during this crazy housing market, by listening to our reasons for selling our home and also what we were looking for in a new home. She was able to help us find the perfect home for the next stage in our lives. Thank you Laura, you are fabulous!
Laura is like no other realtor with which I have had experience! With her knowledge, wisdom and experience you know you have a leg up on the market. She gives you complete trust that she is there to support you and do what is best for you and your family! She actually advised us several years ago not to put our house on the market and because we waited we were able to reap the benefits of today's market with huge success. She is a gem and anyone would be lucky to have her on your team!
We had a wonderful experience working with Laura. Right from the start she helped us form a plan for our sale and was very knowledgeable and helpful when we needed workers for repair work. I'm sure she helped us shorten the period between deciding to sell and finally having the house on the market. All her vendor recommendations did high quality work and were available in short time frames to do it. Her market valuation for our property was spot on and we actually sold our house in the shortest time frame that we had ever experienced with a property sale. A mere five days. We would love to work with her on every future property sale should we need to do so, because she is so friendly experienced and professional.
Laura was a fantastic help selling my in-law's condo in an estate sale. She went above and beyond, helping with all aspects of the sale for the estate, including helping with the sale and removal of personal property and finding rental properties for my two brother-in-laws. Her assistance with all the details allowed me to stay 3,000 miles away during the pandemic and have the sale come off with a hitch. Laura's knowledge of the market and keen insight in getting the property ready for sale helped us achieve a sale over our asking price. Laura is joy to work with and I would highly recommend her.
Laura listed and sold our house. She brought a tremendous level of local knowledge as well as experience in the real estate market. We developed a plan together and executed the plan. Everything went very smoothly.
As first time homebuyers, my fiancA(C) and I had no idea what to expect. We were nervous and unsure and Laura made us so comfortable! She explained every step of the process, held our hand the whole way, and ultimately found us our dream home! We couldnt ask for a better experience! Even now that our sale is complete, I'm still asking questions and Laura has been nothing but patient and helpful. I highly recommend reaching out to Laura if youre thinking about taking the first step towards buying a home.
We adore Laura! We have bought and sold 10 houses now, and Laura has been our agent for the last four of them. Laura is incredibly knowledgeable, she works amazingly hard, but she also really cares about her clients and making them happy. Her listing sheets show the house in the best light, and the professional photographer she uses is excellent. She has infinite patience, and will respond immediately to you, no matter the hour or how busy she is. It makes you feel like you are the only client, and are extra special. You cannot do better than Laura.
Laura was very forthright and honest with us throughout the sale of our home. She proved knowledgeable of the market and the buyers with whom we would deal. When our buyers agent proved to be a little snarky, Laura raised the bar and moved the process along successfully. Laura is a true professional, but also a very nice person.
When it comes to knowledge, responsiveness, congeniality and support Laura excels in all areas of the real estate process. With expertise developed from her many years of experience, she was able to offer insight during the entire process beginning with preparation for listing our home to guidance in bringing the closing process successfully to completion. What starts out as a business relationship evolves into a friendship. We are so appreciative of the successful sale of our home and look forward to our continued friendship.
Laura B hustles, has excellent business judgement and makes good things happen. Super responsive and knowledgeable. We are very glad we selected her to sell our home.
We were fortunate to receive a referral to Laura from a friend as we began our home selling process. We cannot imagine having proceeded with anyone else - Laura is the consummate professional, combining her incredible knowledge with warmth and good humor. Laura is responsive, accommodating, and honest, and she helped us sell our house faster than we could have ever expected. Laura also referred us to our Real Estate Agent for buying a house in another county, which turned out to be a great experience as well. We feel so grateful and lucky to have had the opportunity to work with Laura, and recommend her without hesitation.
Laura sold my previous home back in 2007, so when it was time to sell my current home the decision was easy - call Laura! She came to my home, walked around the property, and gave me her honest assessment. She then came up with the approach she thought would work out best. It made sense to me and I trust her fully. The house sold very quickly, and Laura was great in prioritizing the offers to make it easier for me. She provided a list of contractors who came in and did the necessary updates. I can't recommend her enough - truly 1 of a kind in this field.
If I could give Laura six stars, I would. Laura assisted and supported me during the transition to the pandemic in selling my home of 30+ years. Her expertise and vast knowledge made a very difficult period so much easier. She goes out of her way in all dimensions to ensure everything goes smoothly and always available to respond with true tact. She is a consummate professional and a person who is wise and resourceful. I could not have done this process without her and the resources she brings with her.
Laura worked with us both to sell our previous Acton home early in 2020 and we then chose her to help us buy a new condo in the same town a few months later. Her knowledge and credibility were higher than any of the 4 other realtors we considered, and her advice was always on point. She was so caring, and willing to take care of absolutely anything that came up over the course of both transactions, which was extremely important to us as we were overseas during the first sales process, and unable to deal with any issues locally ourselves. We would strongly recommend working with Laura for any property.
Laura is amazing! Her experience and expertise made the whole process easy despite dealing with unprecedented circumstances. She was always available to answer any question, we felt very confident that she was our agent and had our best interest in mind. I would chose Laura to tackle any real estate transaction for me as she made everything so seamless! Thank you Laura!!
There should be more than 5 stars available for the rating! Laura was outstanding from start to finish. Help in preparing the house for sale, pricing advice, negotiating, and achieving a sale well above asking price! This was my 6th house sale experience. It was the easiest and the best. I can think of no way the experience could have been better.
I contacted Laura a few years ago to get advice about selling my house in Carlisle. I knew I wanted to downsize, but I didnt know how and when to start the process. I had heard Laura lived in Carlisle and knew the real estate market here better than anyone. We hit it off immediately as she advised me on affordable updates I could make to my house, so it would appeal to the most buyers possible and bring in the highest price. When I was ready to sell, Laura was there for me every step of the way. Not only did she help me purchase a smaller property in Stow, but she helped me through the process of getting my house on the market. When the house was listed, it sold so fast I couldnt believe it! I had four offers in less than a week. I credit Laura with everythingaEUR"from advising me on renovations and updates, timing the market, and deciding on a list price. Most importantly, her instincts were spot-on when it came to negotiations. Not only that, she was always available and extremely positive and upbeat all the time. She was an absolute joy to work withaEUR"and lots of fun too! I cant thank her enough for all she did for me!
There aren't enough stars to express our appreciation for Laura and her mastery of real estate. After 26 years in our home, we were selling to downsize but wanted buyers who would appreciate and value our home as much as we did. Laura has a keen understanding of the local market, knows the residents personally, and has the ability to connect the right buyer with the right house. We couldn't be happier with how effortless and smooth the whole process has been, especially in this challenging virus time! She made the sale personal and easy. We had multiple offers after the first open house and got price we wanted. There is no other choice for a realtor if buying or selling in this area. We not only sold a house but made a lifelong friend. She is simply the best there is.
Laura and her team have helped us through multiple real estate transactions over the past 20 years. She has always been helpful and honest with negotiations and worked for us to get the best deal. If you want a realtor that will get your house sold or get you into your next home, choose Laura and her team!
Among all the real estate professionals we worked with while moving a lot over the years across the country, Laura Baliestiero and her team are absolutely the best. She sold our Carlsile, MA house in several days after the listing, mainly due to her vast network of buyers and agents. And that was not the seller's market - even more, the closing happened during the coronavirus lockdown period. Laura put a superb effort to navigate all the hurdles of that gloomy period, helping us to resolve multiple seller's challenges (while we all relocated to Seattle), showing extreme generosity and energy by going extra mile for her remote clients. Besides professional excellence, it was just a pleasure working with Laura - she is very responsive, always cheers you up, and shares a lot of wisdom along every step. She is a local Carlislian and lives by the community's moral coda: helping each other without hesitation and with an open heart!

When we asked Laura to help us out with the selling of our house and then buying a new one, we knew she was the best realtor one could have. She has been in our town for a very long time and knows, and remembers, every family by name. Her real passion for her work stems from her warm personality which helps everyone feel confident with her. Her knowledge of the market, along with her expertise and experience, helped us sell our house in ten days! Her team members are equally knowledgeable and helpful. They were instrumental in buying our new house. And we are now happily settling in our new home with their help. Her persuasion with both the buyers and sellers makes sure the deal will be sealed. We very highly recommend Laura for any buying or selling of properties in the area.
Laura is the ultimate professional- knowledgeable, proactive and excellent at her craft. Shes also honest, personable and a straight shooter- equally as important to me and my husband.She provided facts with conclusive data but also listened to our point and view and took our opinions into consideration.Our house sold in under 2 weeks and a big part of that was due to Laura!
Laura is not only a fabulous Realator she is an amazing person!!! She sold my house so quickly and is currently helping me find my new home. I highly recommend her you will not be disappointed, she made the sale of our home so easy start to finish!!
Very competent and personable. Laura not only guided us through the process, with ease, but provided excellent advice.Laura's assessments of the market, house preparations and negotiations were on point. This included excellent assistance in evaluating offers.The advice was given in a way that we could hear it and included not just an assessment but also suggestions on ways forward.Selling a house is difficult, doubly so in Massachusetts, but went very smoothly with Laura's expert assistance.
Laura is simply the best! She has helped us to purchase and sell properties and both experiences were flawless. She takes the time to understand your needs and is incredibly skillful at navigating the complexities of the process. No detail gets by her and she makes you feel like you are her most important client. She is an expert in this industry and in this community.
Laura is the most professional and helpful agent that we have worked with. She knows the area so well since she also lives around. When we first met in our house, she provided us with a book of detailed information about the selling and buying market in our area and kindly explained every question that we had. During the selling process, she offered so much including taking care of our house since we were already moved to CA and cannot be there in person to do anything to help. She is not only a good agent to work with, but also a such nice person that we are so honored to know. If we ever get back to the east coast, we will definitely work with Laura again.
Laura is great. After our first realtor couldn't sell the property and the listing expired, we reached out to Laura who had sold our previous house. She worked tirelessly with us as we tried to sell this condo and had an offer within a few weeks of listing the property. A first buyer's financing fell through, that barely slowed her down. She had another buyer lined up in a few weeks. That buyer had a contingency for selling their home. Laura kept marketing the property and found a third buyer who wanted the property. Buyer #2 had to drop out because they hadn't sold their place yet. Laura helped us negotiate a favorable price and home inspection results with all three buyers. I would work with Laura again any time and would highly recommend her and her team to anyone selling a property in the towns she represents.
I recently sold my home of 25 years with Laura Baliestiero. I was nervous about being able to navigate the process properly, and was so pleased to have Laura on my team. Laura was professional, courteous and always available to answer any questions or concerns I had. As a result of my great experience, I have recommended Laura to friends and neighbors who have also had success in selling their homes. Thank you Laura!
Laura is so professional and focused. She is an expert from start to finish. I cant express enough how grateful we are to her for making this transition in our lives as painless as possible. She is prompt and reliable and guided us through every step of the real estate selling process from getting our home ready til the closing. Laura has been in real estate for many years

We listed our house in Carlisle with Laura this past winter and she did a fabulous job. We were not living in the area at the time and she was incredibly helpful in getting the house market ready and stepping in for us when we could not be there. The house sold quickly and she was very helpful throughout the negotiation process and up through the closing process. I would highly recommend her!
Laura is the best! We bought a house this past February in an extremely competitive market. The house was priced low to create a feeding frenzy - and it happened. Laura knew it and advised us on what price to go in at and what other creative offers to extend to the sellers. Our offer was accepted. The sellers later told us that there were 10 offers on the house but ours was accepted because of the creativity. Nobody knows the market better than Laura. Highly recommend her!
Laura is an absolute joy to work with! She went above and beyond helping us sell our home. She took care of everything from the staging to the closing, all we had to do was sign the paperwork! She also helped us buy our current home and again all we had to do was show up and sign the papers. No matter what time day or night she was always willing and eager to help. Her knowledge of properties is priceless and she knows exactly who to send you to if you need help with something whether it's replacing some carpet or finding a good lawyer. Laura knows everyone and it pays off. Thank you so much and if we ever need anything you'll be the first we call!
My house was a Challenge . Laura got the house sold . She was A great communicator, updated me at all times. I always felt as though I was being looked after . It would be a disservice not to hire Laura B.
Laura sold us our home in Carlisle, MA., 18 years ago. She was excellent to deal with, so we chose her to be our realtor when we were downsizing from Carlisle. She thoroughly understands the market. She was professional, responsible and made selling our beloved home in Carlisle a smooth process. Laura was always there for us, knowing exactly how and when to make the sale happen. She also is a wonderful resource for local professionals, some of whom we needed as we prepared our home for sale. We did as Laura suggested every step of the way because we trusted her. And, our home sold the first open house! Laura made what is one of the most difficult passages in ones life doable. We always will be grateful to Laura for all her help in making our move happen. I would honestly give Laura a 10 on a scale of 1-5!!
Laura becomes knowledgeable about your circumstances and what your priorities are, then puts together a strategy to meet your priorities and target price. She is tireless, listens and always puts you at ease when you have questions. The sale of my house could not have come together any better.

Laura was amazing to work with! She is responsive, pleasant, honest, and dedicated. She went above and beyond to help us sell our house. Her whole team was amazing. I'm so glad we chose Laura, and highly recommend her.
Laura did an excellent job in everything! She made selling our condo easy and quick, while dealing with some complex situations with buyer and buyers agent.She knows the market extremely well.
I reloacated an aunt and uncle from Carlisle to Texas. Laura represented us in the sale of the property. She was knowledgeable of the area and market, detailed, thorough and fully capable. Each request I made from afar was handled promptly and without hesitation. Laura is a true professional and conducts herself in a manner to support that level of service, yet at the end of the process I felt I had a new friend. I would recommend Laura Baliestiero to anyone seeking a realtor. You will be blessed through her service!
