Lauras expertise was evident, and her readiness to communicate at each stage of the selling process was very helpful. I recommend her highly.

Laura is the best! First off, if you contact her, do so directly. I thought I did by going through a website link provided by FastExpert, but this website was just theirs and going though it causes realtors to have to share 25% of their commission with FastExpert. I was already sold on contacting Laura directly with out reading FE's additional reviews and should have just googled her RE/MAX office number. It would have been more honest of FastExpert to explain that fact upfront. To make up for it, I vow to share Laura's name with anyone looking for a realtor. Out of all the realtors I've worked with, she was the most professional, insightful, knowledgeable, honest, and trustworthy. When discussing making an offer on the home I ended up purchasing, I never felt like she was in a rush to just make the sale. We discuss options and came up with a plan to help me leverage my cash offer under asking and still ask the owner to make some important repairs. The process went more smoothly due to her work keeping all parties involved so there were no surprises or delays. Kudos to her team Evan and Chuck as well, they helped out tremendously whenever there was a short notice need. Couldn't be happier with the work Laura did to make the home purchase possible!

ZillowVERIFIEDMy wife and I recently had the wonderful experience of working with Laura to sell our house in North Liberty. From the moment we contacted her she was extremely pleasant and helpful with the whole selling process. Her knowledge of the market and negotiation skills allowed us to have a stress free selling experience. Would definitely recommend anyone who is needing a realtor to contact Laura!

ZillowVERIFIED When we originally started looking for a house we had contacted a different agent but after feeling a lot of pressure, we reached out to Laura on a recommendation. Laura called within the day and not only asked about what we wanted and what we were looking for, did not rush the process and we felt like she was actually listening to us. Laura explained every step along the way and was willing to answer the hundreds of questions we had as first time home buyers. Laura was dedicated and would get home showings set up within usually a day of us seeing them. We knew she had other clients but we always felt that she would make time for us and answer the smallest question. After seeing over 15 houses and feeling discourages, Laura reassured that it take time and that she will be with us for as long as it will take for us to find our home. When we did find out home, Laura was able to walk us through how to make an offer and explain her logic behind offers. It is clear to me that Laura is incredibly knowledgeable about the housing market and home buying process and has connections to get questions answered. While our house buy process was not a lengthy one, we will reach out to Laura when the time comes to purchase our next house.

ZillowVERIFIED Laura Soride is AMAZING!!! Laura made our first time home buying experience very smooth and an enjoyable one. I have heard of horrible stories but that wasn't our case. You can trust Laura as she is VERY knowledgeable with the whole process. Laura kept us informed on everything that was happening. She is always there when you need her even after you close and she is quick to respond emails/texts.One thing I also liked about Laura was that the whole process wasn't just a "transaction" but she made it a point to also get to know us personally. When we went for the home inspection, she did it as if it was her own home and knew exactly what to look for. I highly recommend Laura, she is the best!!!

ZillowVERIFIED Laura was fabulous to work with! We used her both when buying and selling this home. Each time she had our best interests in mind and fought to get us a great deal! She is very knowledgeable, quick to respond, and professional. We would definitely recommend. We only wish she could have moved states with us!

ZillowVERIFIED Laura did a great job of guiding me through the process of purchasing my first home. I'd only rented before and had no idea on how to even get started. Laura was kind, patient and very knowledgable about the ins and outs of inspections, price negotiation, communication with the seller's agent, and everything else. I've been situated and happy in my new home for four months now and have no complaints.

ZillowVERIFIED Laura helped us find and buy our home. She was very helpful in all aspects. I would recommend her to any one. She checked the home thoroughly before the walk through. She was on time for all appointments. She recommended bank lenders and maintenance people if needed.

ZillowVERIFIED Laura impressed us with her knowledge, hard work, & kindness when we purchased our home in 2008. We didn't hesitate to contact her to sell the same home in 2022 and she came through with flying colors. Laura even drove us to the airport after the sale! I highly recommend Laura Soride!

Both Laura and her team were flexible, knowledgeable and did an excellent job helping us navigate the housing market here. She helped us find a home that we really love and it was a pleasure to work with her. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a home in the area. We are so happy we got to work with Laura and would give her more stars if possible.

ZillowVERIFIED Laura did an incredible job selling our home. She made the process extremely easy. In fact, once we contacted her to sell, she took care of everything! She was knowledgeable about the area, market, and was available at all hours of the day when we had questions. I would highly recommend her to my family and friends, and I would highly recommend her to anyone needing a realtor.

Review for Member: Laura Soride
ZillowVERIFIED Laura Soride is a 10/10 at her job. She was our buyer's agent in Spring 2022 when the market was at its peak. Finding houses was tough and you had to pay more than asking to have a chance at a house. She helped us navigate through the market boom and find the perfect house for us. She never made us feel pressured to offer on a house and always supported our decisions. She never made us feel like we were a bother and she found time to help us whenever we could make it into town since we were from 1.5 hours away. She is incredibly knowledgeable and helped us figure out what we should be looking for in a house and pointed out any issues with the houses we were touring. Honestly, I can't think of a single fault in Laura. I would use her as either a buyer or seller agent and feel confident that you will be taken care of and supported. Thank you Laura for everything!

ZillowVERIFIED Laura is the best! She kept me informed at all times and helped me throughout the entire process. As a new homeowner, especially in this crazy market, she helped manage any concerns I had and answered and got the answers to the many questions I had. She was always made time for me and was quickly responsive at all hours of the day and night when searching for a home, and when I was set on a home and wanted to get in to take a look. Laura listened to what I was looking for, even though I was all over the place and unsure at first, she remained patient with me and helped me along the way. I recommend Laura 100%!

ZillowVERIFIED This is my 2nd time working with Laura Soride and her team. She initially sold my home in North Liberty in 2018 when work took me out of state. When it was time for me to come back I knew who to call. Laura Soride was an excellent asset in finding a home in North Liberty. She went above and beyond as I was searching from out of state. She went to houses and even filmed and reviewed them for me! With her expertise I was able to close on a perfect home all while being many states away. I recommend everyone in the market for buying or selling a home to contact Laura Soride. You will be glad you did. Thanks Laura!

ZillowVERIFIED It was absolutely amazing to work with Laura on buying my first home. She is incredibly knowledgeable but more importantly spent time understanding exactly what I was looking for and making sure that I had all of the information and support I needed. From when I started looking until closing (and even after), Laura made it feel like a fun and exciting process.

Review for Member: Laura Soride
ZillowVERIFIED Laura Soride is an excellent agent who came highly recommended by a longtime friend. With all the realtors I have worked with, she worked well beyond what one could expect. She listed my condo in late August and less than two weeks we were on contract to sell. Throughout the process, she greatly exceeded all expectations from staging, showing, contracting, and closing. She stayed in touch constantly and even coordinated last-minute fixes. She is an excellent negotiator with a very personalized touch; brilliant to work with. I highly recommend her!

Review for Member: Laura Soride
ZillowVERIFIED Laura was extremely knowledgeable about the area and the housing options. She found us the house we needed when we needed it, and got it sold very rapidly when that time came. She obviously has many connections within the community; we used her insights not only for buying and selling our house, but as to who were the reliable workers/contractors for repairs and projects. On top of all this, I would consider her a friend. I can recommend her without reservation for your real estate needs.

ZillowVERIFIED A five-star review really doesn't do justice. I was in the process of moving across the country when I reached out to Laura. Things were hectic for me but Laura went over and beyond to make the staging/listing/selling process a breeze. While I have never had Laura as a buyer's agent (I really wish I did), I would also recommend her to all the potential buyers - as a seller, I can see how honest and caring she is for the buyer. She is very patient, detailed, and really puts her client first. I highly recommend Laura to everyone.

ZillowVERIFIED All I can say is The Laura Soride Real Estate Team is excellent. I worked with Laura primarily, and I am so happy I was able to have her on my side. Laura is on the ball with everything I needed to purchase my home. As a first time homebuyer she held my hand through the process and answered any questions I had. She was so patient with me during this process. She made herself available at all times of the day to do showings, talk on the phone, or reply to emails. When it comes time to sell my home I will definitely be contacting Laura again. P.S. - Chuck was great to work with too!

ZillowVERIFIED Laura was very helpful, professional, and responsive. When we changed our criteria part way into our search she got us lined up with additional showings right away. She is extremely familiar with the entire area and was able to get us in contact with several local vendors to perform services that we wanted to have done once we took possession of our home. We highly recommend Laura.

ZillowVERIFIED Laura and her team are the best in the area, hands down. My family has purchased three homes (and sold one) with her and we would never use anyone else. Laura is incredibly knowledgeable, fantastically personal, and has helped us navigate some tough situations that have arisen with less-than-scrupulous sellers. My family and I always relax when we know Laura and her team are on the case!. I cannot recommend them highly enough!

ZillowVERIFIED Laura helped us buy our first home when we moved here from Hawaii. She also helped us sell our first home when it was time to move. I think the fact that we went back to sell our home with her speaks for itself. Laura's very knowledgeable about the Iowa City market and has her finger on the pulse. She has a great team of experienced individuals that are also great to work with. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her to others.

He made buying my first home incredibly easy and painless and was always just a phone call away to answer any questions. Throughout the whole experience, I felt like I had him in my corner to take care of EVERYTHING from the home search to inspections to closing paperwork. Highly recommended.

ZillowVERIFIED We were first-time home buyers and really needed someone we could trust . Laura made us feel supported, informed, and cared for during every step of the process. Her diligence and responsiveness were especially key when locking in our offer ahead of another party to get the home we wanted. She works beyond the sale/purchase of the home. She is continuing to work with us for all of our home needs, and we look forward to having her support for our next transition. I could not recommend her enough.

ZillowVERIFIED Laura sold our home in Coralville, Iowa. We were quite anxious as we were not getting offers but Laura reassured us that we will find the right buyer. She has been very responsive throughout this process. She also developed some marketing strategies that provided our home some more exposure. She is very thorough and a nice person to work with. She was also our neighbor and we missed seeing them. I highly recommend her.
