ZillowVERIFIEDBuying our first home was one of the biggest milestones of our lives, and we truly couldnt have asked for a better real estate agent than Laura Papritz. From day one, Laura was thoughtful, patient, and genuinely listened to what we wanted. She never made us feel rushed or pressured into making an offer that didnt feel right. Instead, she took the time to answer every question, explain every step, and made us feel like we were her priority. Like any home purchase, we ran into a few unexpected challenges along the way, but Laura was incredible. She stayed calm, kept us informed, advocated for us, and always had a solution or a plan. The home we purchased has everything we were hoping for and more, including multiple bedrooms and one of our favorite features, the beautiful greenbelt behind the property. It gives us so much privacy and was exactly what we had been looking for, feels like a piece of heaven. Laura also referred us to a great lender, and that made the financing process just as smooth. The communication between everyone involved was super smooth, which made the entire experience so much less stressful. If youre looking for a real estate agent in the Maple Valley area, we cant recommend Laura Papritz enough, especially if youre a first-time home buyer. She is knowledgeable, honest, caring, and truly invested in her clients. We are beyond grateful to have had her by our side through this journey, and we couldnt be happier with our new home. She didnt just help us buy a house, she helped us find the right one. Our forever home! SHE is the BEST!!!!

ZillowVERIFIED As first-time home buyers, we had a wonderful experience working with Laura Papritz. We found her through Zillow, and her local expertise in the Maple Valley area made such a difference throughout the process. Laura helped us find a home that checked all the boxes for our family, including the extra bedrooms we wanted and a beautiful green belt behind the house. Whenever challenges came up, she stayed calm, responsive, and helped us navigate everything smoothly. What really stood out was how much she cared about us not just as buyers, but as a family. Our girls liked her just as much as we did, which made the experience even more special and personal for us. We truly felt supported every step of the way. The lender Laura recommended was also fantastic to work with, and together they made the process much less stressful for us as first-time buyers. If Zillow allowed it, we would give Laura four separate 5-star ratings for professionalism, communication, local expertise, and genuinely caring about her clients. Thank you Laura, and your fantastic team!

ZillowVERIFIED Cheers to Laura Papritz team!!! We worked with Krystle Alan, who is super sweet and was kind enough to understand our requirements. To be more specific, she is very responsive, ethical, knowledgeable and approachable. She also introduced us to a lending team who explained us the financial matters in a very simplistic way. This gave us confidence to proceed further and get our first home within a short span. All this wouldn't be possible without this great team! Kudos to them for making this process so smooth and quick!

ZillowVERIFIED Krystle Alan made the home buying process a lot less daunting and scary. She scheduled tours for any home we wanted to see, no matter how far away. She answered our questions or found the answers to them. I'm not sure how many hours Krystle spent researching homes, writing offers, or speaking with selling agents on our behalf, but it had to be A LOT. Krystle genuinely cared that we bought a home we loved, so she never pressured us into an offer that we werent 100% all in on. We ended up with the perfect house and property for us and are so thankful! Laura Papritz & Aaron Alan on her team were also great resources.

ZillowVERIFIED Laura and her team are experienced and great to work with, hands down. Laura helped us sell our too-big for us home and find our just-right for us home and we could not be happier. It turns out that buying a house contingent on selling the one you're in can sometimes be a little bit tricky, and in our case it was tricky. Timing things just right, making sure all the I's are dotted and the T's are crossed on the contracts, and keeping us going through the process. Thanks to career changes and a growing family, this is our 3rd home in a short few years, and we have chosen Laura over and over again. She's reliable and has a team of great assistants. And she's just a good person. Kind and caring, that means everything to us. With our home sale this time, Laura's experience in the game really came in handy because we ended up having buyers that didn't have funds in the end! YIKES! Stuff really can happen when you're selling a house! Like a seasoned sea captain, when the winds changed, Laura simply adjusted the sails. She had back up's ready and waiting and we ended up back on track, and things moved quickly after that. She has great relationships with lenders, home inspectors, the realtors, etc. in the PNW and can really do some magic to make things happen. This is who you want helping you buy or sell a house!

ZillowVERIFIED I am so thankful that Zillow paired me with Laura in my search for a new home. I could not have asked for someone more kind, knowledgeable, and professional as Laura is. Her local knowledge is so impressive and she was able to use this expertise to guide me to what I'd like best when searching in certain areas and different counties, as I am relatively new to WA. From the get-go, Laura helped me identify homes that met ALL of my criteria, responded in a timely manner, and was available to answer any questions I had (which was a lot). During the time of my home search, the market was incredibly competitive, and we spent countless hours looking at homes I thought could be 'the one'. When we found 'the one', Laura positioned the offer to put me in the most competitive place possible, and explained how and why we could be competitive in our offer. Laura also paired me with an amazing loan office, and also recommended where I could go for insurance on my new home. You may not realise just how helpful those things are until you are bombarded with a million different options! Long story short, Laura helped me find the house and land of my dreams, and I consider her one of the most caring, knowledgeable, and honest people I've ever met. I would recommend her to anyone looking to buy or sell a home, and I certainly would choose Laura as my #1 choice in the future if I am in the market again! Thank you, Laura & team!!

ZillowVERIFIED As first time home buyers, Laura could not have made the house buying process any easier. She was able to explain things a way that may sense and walked us through each step of the process. Laura is truly a wealth of knowledge, genuine, professional, and makes this stressful process simple and fun! It was because of her timeliness/responsiveness and attention to detail that we were able to not only buy our first house, but we were able to purchase our dream home!! We would HIGHLY recommend Laura to anyone looking for a house!!

ZillowVERIFIED Laura is extremely knowledgable in all things real estate.

ZillowVERIFIED Laura is top notch. My husband and I were first time homebuyers and she walked us through all the steps and educated us and encouraged us to educate ourselves. We love Laura and her expertise! We honestly cant reccomend her more highly. She is respectful, insightful, knowledgeable and honest. She really took the time to get to know what my husband and I wanted and went above and beyond. We now have a beautiful home and are 100% going to Laura and her team for all our real estate needs. We will definitely be sending all of our fam and friends her way!

ZillowVERIFIED Laura Papritz and Team provided the most professional, thorough and honest selling experience I couldve hoped for. Laura and her team kept us informed from our initial meeting to the date of closing. She provided us with easy to follow recommendations that allowed us to prepare, list and sell our house quickly and efficiently. Our house was listed and closed within 30 days and we received top dollar for our home. I felt Laura served as an expert and an advocate in ensuring transactions and communications between parties went seamlessly. Prior to working with Laura, I did not believe a real estate transaction could be a positive one, but Laura made our selling experience truly rewarding. I hope to use Laura as a resource for any future real estate transactions and I highly recommend her to anyone selling a home.

ZillowVERIFIED My partner and I were finally ready to purchase our first home and knew someone who had worked with Laura before. Her services came highly recommended so we decided to take the plunge and go with her. She was very knowledgeable and walked us through the whole process- going step by step with infinite patience, quelling our fears and answering our every question. Her assistant Randy was amazing as well! He was super responsive and extremely helpful throughout the entire process. We feel Laura really advocated for us during closing and got us everything we asked for. We absolutely love our new home and we could not have done it without Laura and Randy's assistance. I would highly recommend both of their services to new home buyers- they really know their stuff and make the potentially stressful process a cakewalk. If we ever buy or sell another home we will definitely use their services again. Thank you Laura and Randy!

ZillowVERIFIED Moving from Arizona, we had no familiarity with Washington. Laura was excellent in being our "remote" shopper. Laura first took time to interview us to understand our needs and our desires. I never felt rushed; she asked all the right questions and listened to what I thought was important. She never pushed out side our budget. Our first trip we toured several houses - she wanted to get feedback on what we liked and what we didn't like. I never felt pressured to buy right away. Through her thorough attention to our comments, requirements, and desires, she eventually could quickly assess for us what we may like and what we probably would not like. She nailed it every time which made shopping for a house from another state very productive. She would video houses for us so that we could get a sense of the property before flying to see the house in person. Her advice was always as an advocate for our needs and she was careful not to judge or press upon us her own likes/dislikes. She is smart and knowledgeable about the market. Sometimes she would get busy with other clients and not respond to emails right away but when the house buying processes was moving or we were in the area - we had her undivided attention. She was always there immediately when we needed her (even on a Friday night at 9PM or Sunday morning... didn't matter). You have to be timely in the Maple Valley market and she knows that and makes her self available. At the end of the process, she found us a house that we absolutely love and has done a great job pulling it across the finish line.

ZillowVERIFIED Laura was outstanding in helping us list and sell our house in Maple Valley. Her extensive experience and training in real estate were obvious form the moment we met to discuss possibly enlisting her as our real estate agent. She demonstrated a comprehensive knowledge of the local market and of trends and issues involved in selling a house. We were pleased with her ability to present statistical data in ways we could understand as we determined a fair listing price. Laura also explained the total process so that we were not surprised by the many things that happened between the listing and closing. She explained the strategies she used to attract potential buyers and agents representing buyers. When multiple offers came in Laura brought them to us and again used her professional and personable talents in helping us decipher the offers. We are certain her professionalism and personal touches were the main reasons our house sold on the first weekend of its listing.

ZillowVERIFIED Well it's done... the house has closed, and is now the proud possession of another family. I wish them many years of happiness in that fine house. Carol, and I lived there for just shy of 30 years, so during that time we built up a great "treasure chest" of memories. When the decision to sell was made, and the subsequent move to Florida finalized, the work began on getting the house ready for sale. We started to make some upgrades to rooms, and bathrooms, and I started getting rid of much of my "stuff." That was extremely hard for me, because much of that "stuff" was full of memories, and disposing of good memories is never easy. Enter a wonderful lady by the name of Laura Papritz. We had heard good things about her, and the excellent job she had done for others, and when we first met, it was very clear to me that we had picked the right person to sell our home. She was very pleasant, organized, and understanding of our needs, and maybe, most of all, I had the impression the she was a person with integrity that could be trusted, and I was right. Due to circumstances beyond our control, Carol, and I had to leave for Florida before all the upgrades, and other work on the house was completed. This meant that we were some 3,000 miles away, and could not personally attend to all the details yet needing our attention... this is where she "jumped in," and with willingness, and skill, handled every challenge. She kept us informed about any, and all work being done, and when it was a matter of finding the best contractor/company to do the job, she always found a way to help us save money while getting good quality results. Her willingness to handle all the many details relieved Carol, and I of a tremendous amount of stress. I must say too that I have been very impressed with your colleague, Randy Nguyen. It has been a pure joy to work with Randy. He is very efficient, and did a great job of keeping us informed, and answering the many questions that "popped up" during such an operation as selling a house. Thank you Randy. Yes, our house of many years is sold, and life goes on. Leaving our house, and turning it over to others was not easy, but Laura, with her "easy going way," her professionalism, her skill, her efficiency, and integrity, made this journey for us, sooo much more pleasant. We cannot thank her enough. Thank you Laura, and Randy for a job exceedingly well done!!! Roger, and Carol Burnard

ZillowVERIFIED I had a strange hang up with the city of Kent, which stems back to King County (long story). Laura and her team worked hard for me and got me through it while I was on the other side of the state. I have worked with Laura twice now, and she does a great job working for you, even though she has other clients to deal with. Awesome personality, and I would recommend her to anyone in the market of buying or selling their house.

Review for Member: Laura Papritz
ZillowVERIFIED Updated 2018: Not only did Laura find us the perfect home in Maple Valley, when a job opportunity in Colorado put us in a position to sell our home, she swooped in like a superhero and had it sold within the week. Laura didn't just give us complete, top-to-bottom service - she helped us garden. Like, let that sink in. She came out, of her own volition, and trimmed our hedges all by herself. She bought us potted plants and beautiful flowers, and helped to make sure our homespace was maximally beautiful for the open houses she had arranged. Over the two years we owned our home, we stayed in contact with Laura because she's just such a wonderful human being. She got us a phenomenal above-market price for our house in less than a week, because she was so devoted to coming in and staging everything and putting everything together for us. It's so rare in this part of the country, and this market in particular, to find an agent who genuinely cares not only about selling your home, or helping you find one, but about you as a person, and your needs as a family. We love Laura. She's become a friend of our family, as well as the only realtor we hope we'll ever need. You would be lucky to have her help in your purchase or sale. 2016: ================= We are currently working with Laura on finding a new house. Finding a new house in the current market is very stressful, and the desire to just buckle and pick a subpar house is high, but Laura has worked very hard to make sure we don't do that. Laura is foremost concerned with helping us to find a house that's all ours. Unlike some agents we've spoken with in the past, her main focus is not selling any house at all, but rather ensuring her clients find the place they truly want to be at. She is prompt at responding to emails, is readily available by phone, and is happy to meet us in the later hours which are necessary due to our jobs. We feel very fortunate to have found Laura on Zillow. If you get a chance to work with her, take it!

Working with Laura was like dealing with a trusted and knowledgable friend, I was/ am sure that our best interests were priority #1 with her. If my family or friends ever are in need of a professional realtor I will send them to Laura without reservation! (I wish I could add a couple of stars...)

ZillowVERIFIED Laura is a phenomenal agent. She has a wealth of knowledge about the home buying process and really tries to understand the needs of her clients. She's helped me with 3 transactions, a home purchase in 2007, selling in 2011, and another home purchase in 2015. All 3 transactions went smoothly and she continues to impress me with her thoroughness to details. She was very flexible with her time in all three transactions, willing to meet on the weekends and Fridays in the heat of traffic. Her wealth of knowledge is attributed to her experience. I can't remember a question she didn't have an answer for. If she couldn't answer a question, she always found someone on her team who did. I was really impressed with her team of recommendations (lendor, home appraisal, etc) for our latest 2015 home purchase. It was really a one stop service where all areas functioned very well together and communicated highly effectively. I never felt I was in the dark on the process. If you're looking for someone to cross the "Ts" and dot the "I's" during the transaction, she is the one. She had our best interests in mind when negotiating and if I had to purchase/sell again, I wouldn't hesitate to call her.

ZillowVERIFIED From the very first contact, Laura has been more than I could have imagined an agent would be. This is my first home buying experience and her knowledge and assistance is invaluable to me. She is able to explain all aspects of the process thoroughly and makes me feel comfortable asking any question. She listens, learns what you are looking for and works to help you find it. Even during this busy time of the year, Laura has been quick to respond to emails and is good about reminding us of timelines. Both my husband and I trust her expertise and advice. I can't imagine having anyone else take me through this process. I feel like she is a friend who cares about my family's future.

She walked us through the entire process and even had the patience to deal with us, haha. A great resource, gets to know you, and know what you are looking for. She's able to narrow down the home search quickly to what you want and takes much of the headache out of the whole process. When you get to know her, it's obvious she's very good at what she does. She's busy but she seems to always make time for you, which makes you feel special.

Review for Member: Laura Papritz
ZillowVERIFIED From experience we now understand that a local agent may not be best to represent the sale of a home. Its imperative you find an agent who takes the time to meet with you to review the history of your home you want to sell. Our 1950s home had all the major repairs, like sewer line and plumbing, without a remodeled kitchen, but Laura Papritz was able to see the value and peace of mind to perspective buyers. We are so grateful Laura Papritz helped us find our dream home in King County and was willing to sell our home in Everett. She goes above and beyond what most agents would do when it comes to getting the home ready for showing and she made several trips round trip 100+ miles often in traffic. Laura has an eye for staging but also offers encouragement to sellers with the overwhelming task of preparing a home and property for the market. Laura also recruited a local John L Scott agent who knew the area for prospective buyers to assist with the open house. She researched comparables to price our home at the ideal list price which brought in multiple offers in the first weekend. Laura was very knowledgeable to assist us in selecting the best offer to close the sale of our home. She also made sure our buyers were also taken care of when their agent was absent which made a positive impression. We are very impressed with Laura Papritz who is passionate about her work, so we can easily see why she is a Premier agent.

ZillowVERIFIED When looking to relocate from Snohomish County we inquired with friends who moved to Maple Valley and they referred us to their agent Laura Papritz. We were so glad we inquired since Laura from the start showed us she takes interest in her clients. Laura Papritz has great qualities that are sought after in real estate: honest and trustworthy, assertive, excellent at negotiation, and communicates well with all parties. She met with us several times over the phone and in person to get a sense of our goals. Laura welcomed our wish list besides asking us questions about types of homes and researched all possible listings. Laura Papritz always keeps the interest of her clients in mind and worked to find a home within our budget. Our new home met our wish list and more due to the time the property came on the market but also having Laura Papritz to represent us. She is an expert when it comes to the competitive market place. When it came to writing the offer, she created a strategic plan which she presented well and our offer won out several bids. She also provided us with leads for inspectors, an insurance broker, and shared her knowledge of Maple Valley and the surrounding area. Again we highly recommend Laura Papritz if you want to purchase or sell a home since she is a Premier agent with a proven track record.

ZillowVERIFIED I have bought two houses and sold one with Laura, and every time it was a great experience. Laura is great because she listened to my priorities and helped me figure out which properties to follow up on. I am a researcher and was tempted to spend a great deal of time doing my own research, but Laura quickly proved to me that she was much more efficient and could save me lots of time and energy. The other thing that makes working with Laura so great is that she foresees problems with properties and is aware about what to ask for and negotiate during the offer process; there were so many things I would never have thought of, and would be wishing I knew, had it not been for Laura. Laura also had great referrals to help me deal with repairs after I bought my home, including a rental agent when it was time to rent out my property. I would highly recommend Laura, especially for the Maple Valley community!

ZillowVERIFIED We were the first time home buyers, and when we first met Laura, we were still debating between buying a new home versus buying an old one. Laura took time to educate us the pros and cons of both those options. After deliberating a lot between me an my wife, we finally decided to go with a new construction home. Laura helped us get thru the entire buying process right from the day we booked a lot with the builder, till we closed. Closing date was about 10 months from the time we booked (due to builder delays), but Laura was available all the time to answer our questions. She is very prompt and knowledgeable. She even helped us find an insurance agent to help with our Homeowners Insurance. She is very resourceful and have lots of good contacts. She helped us find an experienced Home Inspector, and we are very thankful that we did an independent inspection even though it was a new house. Laura even helped us negotiate a few things with the builder that came up in the Inspection Report. Laura is very personable and I highly recommend her to anyone who is looking to buy a house.

ZillowVERIFIED We were new to the area and working with such an experienced, professional has been HUGE. Laura educated us on the area, community and school district. She was able to customized exactly what it was we were looking for not only in a home but in a community. Once we knew the area we wanted to be in, which was a small geographic area (approx. 5 miles x 5 miles) and very specific needs in a home, she customized a plan for our family. Laura is very efficient, diligent and resourceful in her profession and very personable, it was a pleasure working with her!

Review for Member: Laura Papritz
ZillowVERIFIED We were recommended to Laura by our friend who had just bought his first house. We were expecting our second born and living with my in-laws while saving money to buy a house. The beginning of the loan process took longer than we anticipated because my husband is in construction, so we were in a hurry when we met Laura. She knew what we were looking for, our budget, and that we were in an "aggressive" search. She did a lot of work on her own to look for houses and combine our lists, met us and we looked at so many houses. She would find out as much info as she could for us on some of the houses as well to eliminate some from our list. The house we fell in love with was a short sale. She helped us format our offer to get a quick response from the bank. We wanted to close before the baby was born. Escrow messed up on the paperwork and she called our mortgage broker and whoever she could through the bank and Escrow to get to the bottom of it. She went over and beyond our expectations and she was understanding and compassionate about our situation. Buying a house is stressful, throw having a baby in the mix and it adds up. The baby came early and she was trying to stay in contact with the bank and Escrow in case we needed to sign papers while at the hospital. There were also certain things that needed to be done to the house for the loan to be approved. One was getting some water damage fixed in the bedroom, which she took care of for us. And some shrubs too close to the house needed to be cut back, and she went to the house to make sure that was done and cut some of it back herself because we had just had the baby. She was direct on her opinion on some of the houses that we looked at and loved how open we were to ideas and making a house OUR home. It was important for us to have someone who understood our rush and needs. She met and exceeded our expectations and we are so happy that we chose Laura to help us get into our home! It was a blessing to work with her!

ZillowVERIFIED Laura was extremely knowledgeable about the local housing market. She was sensitive to our needs and listened to what we wanted. Her commitment to getting us in a house was shown throughout the entire short sale process. She is dedicated to her clients and a pleasure to work with.

ZillowVERIFIED Laura was very helpful in helping us find our house. We felt she really listened to what we wanted and was on our side the entire process. Since we were coming from far away she would scout potential houses for us and give honest opinions about how we would like them. Her opinions were spot on every time.

ZillowVERIFIED This was our first house buying experience. Laura impressed from the start with her knowledge of the market, the first time home buying process, and local/regional knowledge of the area we wanted to move to. She very quickly assessed what we were looking for in a home, and was able to help us zero in on potential homes. She went above and beyond every time we had something going on, whether it was the actual house viewing process, the buying paperwork process, etc. She was able to teach us so much without being condescending or judgmental. We appreciated her candor, trusted her judgment, and felt comfortable and supported by her throughout the house buying process. She was a good advocate for our interests. We truly enjoyed working with Laura. Highly recommend!!!

ZillowVERIFIED As a fist time home buyer, I was very sceptical about trusting an agent with a major purchase. After explaining to Laura what my special requirements were for the home, she immediately went to work and provided me a list of homes that met my budget and needs. The process of buying a home became much simpler and very efficient, primarily because of Laura's negotiating and communication expertise. The entire process took less than three months and I ended up getting a home that my wife and I both enjoy, and fits our medical needs. Thank you Laura for makign this process as efficient possible!

ZillowVERIFIED Being a first time home buyer Laura made sure I understood the process before we moved onto the next steps. She was very understanding of my wants and needs in a home for me. Laura also was very flexible with her hours to show the homes (with in reason) and was organized and efficient with locations along a single route, which cut down on back tracking across the cities, also she was receptive to what i want in the first few homes we looked at, so when she screened the homes we looked at as the process went on, we didn't waste our time and effort in looking at homes which i would say no to.
