Review for Member: Laurie Eastman
ZillowVERIFIEDLaurie was just amazing from the very start. We were looking to sell our home in Costa Mesa and I found Laurie online and sent her a random text asking to talk. She responded right away and came over to see the home in person. We instantly connected and knew she was going to be successful. She gave us various recommendations to improve the marketability of the home and we took her advice. The home sold IN A WEEK at a price above what we had otherwise expected. The process through escrow was easy and Laurie was very communicative throughout to ensure we were 100% comfortable with all the forms/disclosures, etc. We would absolutely recommend Laurie to anyone looking to do any real estate transaction. Her market knowledge, friendly demeanor and sound advice was spot on and we would use her again if the opportunity arises.

ZillowVERIFIED Laurie is a true gem. She has represented us in buying and selling our homes since 2014 and we would highly recommend her to anyone looking for the best. We received multiple offers on our house and closed on our home well above asking price. Laurie is incredibly responsive and we trust her in making biggest decisions with our best interest. We will stay loyal to her always and consider her one of our greatest friends.

ZillowVERIFIED I cannot recommend Laurie highly enough! Selling our Turtle Ridge condo from out of town presented its own set of challenges, but Laurie made us feel comfortable and confident every step of the way. She's incredibly professional, delightful to work with, and I'd recommend her to anyone considering selling their home! Laurie is a true hustler who went above and beyond and ensured that every tiny detail was taken care of. She provided invaluable advice on preparing the property for market and helped us get creative to maximize its appeal while minimizing costs. With her partnership, we were able to list and ultimately sell the property faster and for a higher price than we originally thought possible. She is also an excellent communicator, super easy to get in contact with, and always thinks 2 steps ahead. She kept us informed through every step and proactively worked to get ahead of any foreseeable hiccups we could face along the way. We're so grateful to have been able to work with Laurie and would absolutely work with her again.

ZillowVERIFIED Laurie did a fantastic job helping me sell my condo in Turtle Ridge. She communicated frequently throughout the entire process and was very responsive. She really listened to my opinion and gave great advice without being overbearing. Her guidance on the price point, timing of the listing, and suggestion to stage the condo (which looked beautiful) were all spot on! We had multiple offers after the first open house that resulted in selling it for above the listing price with a very short close. If I had not moved out of state, I would work with Laurie on every home purchase and sale!

ZillowVERIFIED Laurie has been pro-active, friendly, supportive through the whole process of my San Clemente property purchase. She knows the process very well and explained each step well. She communicated very well with all involved (bank, sellers agent, workers inspecting the house etc). She has a lot of knowledge of the Orange County beachside properties. Would use her again anytime!

ZillowVERIFIED Laurie was fantastic all around. We bought from out of state so we had to rely on Laurie for a lot of extra items and she was more than happy to accommodate whatever we needed. She was very knowledgeable of the area and has so many different contacts in the community. Above all Laurie was very professional and very willing to go the extra mile to help us any way possible. I would HIGHLY recommend Laurie for anyone looking for a real estate agent in the Newport Beach area!

ZillowVERIFIED 10/10 recommend Laurie and her team! They were incredibly easy to work with, responsive, flexible (we are new to the area so changed our minds lot!), and negotiated an incredible sale for us.

ZillowVERIFIED Laurie is the best agent! We worked with her to purchase our home in Eastside Costa Mesa. She is very experienced, professional, honest, hardworking and kind. She is super responsive and always made availability for calls and showings and to answer all of our questions. She guided us every step of the way and helped make the process so easy. Her deep knowledge of the Newport Beach/Costa Mesa area is so impressive. She is incredibly personable and fun to be around and we always looked forward to our showings with her. She is an excellent advocate and negotiator and we knew we were in great hands. She was determined to help us find a home that was the best fit for us. We've been in our new home for a little over a month now and we couldn't be happier! We're so grateful and happy to have worked with Laurie and we will definitely recommend her to all of our family and friends!

ZillowVERIFIED Laurie did an excellent job selling my home which was listed and closed escrow within a three week period. She and her team worked efficiently and effectively given that short time frame which made the whole process go smoothly. I was most impressed that she always replied back immediately whenever I had a question or concern, which were many. Not only was she professional but so personable. I thoroughly enjoyed working with her. I highly recommend her.

ZillowVERIFIED Laurie helped us buy our dream home at a fair price during the pandemic and from across the country. She is extremely knowledgeable of the area and CA buying process. She communicated transparently and honestly. She made sure that we were informed every step of the way and resolved issues as needed. We can't say enough good things about her and how she made buying a home from far away such an easy experience. And her support didn't end once the deal was closed. She identified short term renters for us and ensured there was a smooth transition. We are very grateful and could not have done it without her being our feet on the ground. If you want to buy or sell a house in OC I would highly, highly recommend working with her. You won't regret it!

ZillowVERIFIED Laurie Eastman helped us with the sale of 2 eastbluff properties. She was very knowledgeable about the area, was on top of the pricing in the local market and was incredibly responsive throughout the process with each property. She provided us personal attention throughout the process and always kept us apprised of the status throughout. She handled the staging of each property through her resources which helped us achieve higher values on each property and quick closings with qualified buyers. She offered excellent advice and suggestions with each buyer and went the extra mile to verify qualifications on each offer. She was a pleasure to work with and we would look forward to having her assist us with future properties. thank you Laurie!

ZillowVERIFIED She found us an off-market home in a very slim market and negotiated a good deal for us. Spent time getting to know our wants & needs, and was patient with us as we bought the house before relocating to Orange County. Great job!

ZillowVERIFIED Laurie Eastman did an amazing job helping us navigate buying a home for the first time. The perfect house came on the market and with Laurie's quick response time, fast thinking and knowledge of the business, she was able to get us our dream house. I highly recommend Laurie to any home buyer. She negotiated for us and didn't give up. She worked night and day and was always available by phone, email or text. I appreciate her attention to details. Even after the sale she checked in to make sure everything was ok and that we were happy.

Review for Member: Laurie Eastman
ZillowVERIFIED Let me start by saying that Laurie was not our first realtor selection. We initially tried to sell our home with someone out of our area (a friend of a friend) and without going into detail, we felt discouraged and disheartened when we determined that we needed to cancel that listing. Fast forward six months later and our next-door neighbors decided to try and sell and we eagerly watched the progression of that listing and eventual sale. Our neighbors raved about their agent and considered her a friend as they had used her on two previous transactions. When Laurie was able to secure a buyer for them, we felt we had nothing to lose but to give it a go. Laurie and her team are a dream to work with. Being a good agent requires many skills but managing communication between parties is paramount. Laurie spoke honestly about the current state of our housing market, our home specifically and what we could expect throughout the process. Her communication never wavered and we felt supported and informed through the entire process. Laurie secured a sale for our home as well and we are thrilled with the way she handled every facet of the transaction. From the initial interview and documentation, photography, inspections to the close of escrow, Laurie was perfection. We would not hesitate to use Laurie and her team again.

ZillowVERIFIED Laurie was wonderful. She took care of absolutely everything. I literally did not have to lift a finger. Laurie responded to all communications very quickly and made the whole process seamless, quick and easy. I can't recommend her highly enough!Compass Concierge is amazing. They upfront the costs of staging, cleaning and taking care of minor repairs to the property prior to listing.What can be a stressful time was handled with a great deal of knowledge and expertise.Thanks again Laurie.

ZillowVERIFIED I would highly recommend Laurie Eastman. She works very hard for her clients. We have worked with her for multiple transactions as both buyers and sellers. I especially appreciate her attention to detail and open communication. She advised us throughout the process, professionally explaining all her ideas and guiding us in the right direction. Her results speak for themselves. She sold our first home in ten days with multiple offers and no issues. On our latest transaction as buyers she secured our offer in a multiple offer situation. Not only do I appreciate her professionalism and impeccable responsiveness, her friendly and caring demeanor make her a joy to work with. When you work with someone who is passionate about what they do for a living, it definitely shows. Without a doubt, we will utilize Laurie's services in the future and would highly recommend her.

ZillowVERIFIED Laurie is an absolute pleasure to work with. My husband and I worked with Laurie when we moved cross-country to Newport Beach. She helped us through the entire process of getting into our new home. Thanks to her attention to detail each step went very smoothly. Laurie anticipated our every need and worked with us on some time constraints that we had. She kept us apprised of every development along the way. Every question was quickly answered. You couldn't find a better real estate professional!

ZillowVERIFIED aEURoeI had my home listed with the aEURoeneighborhood expertaEUR? for 122 days and didnt receive any offers. I called Jenna and Laurie because they had previously sold one in the neighborhood and I knew Jenna personally. Wow! Within the first few minutes of meeting with them, I knew they were the ones who were going to get my home sold for the most money. They explained how marketing a home to sell is different than living in a home and brought a stager in who helped declutter and change the feel of the house. They were very hands on and were over here moving and packing stuff themselves to cut down costs. Their photography and marketing secured me an offer in 8 days and we closed three weeks later. I know that my home would still be on the market if it wasnt for Jenna and Laurie. They have an unsurpassed work ethic, know the market extraordinarily well and are a pleasure to work with. I highly recommend them to anyone selling their home!aEUR?

ZillowVERIFIED I'm a potential home-buyer in the very initial stages of my search. I met Laurie recently and asked her some background questions about a neighborhood in which she has a listing. It would have been easy for her to tell me to come back when I was ready to buy.Instead, Laurie put together an informative and beautifully organized tour for me that answered numerous questions. She was professional, gracious, on the mark with the information I was seeking, and she did it on very short notice. I was impressed.

Review for Member: Laurie Eastman
ZillowVERIFIED Our experience with Laurie selling our home at One Ford Road was excellent. She took the opportunity to sell our house knowing she was challenged because it was on the market about a year earlier. That did not phase Laurie!! She implemented a plan, staged the home and very quickly had it sold. She knows the OFR community as if she lives there, her pricing accuracy was/is amazing, she communicated with us on a daily basis, regularly provided market data to make sound decisions and best of all she looked out for us. My wife and I have been in the real estate business for nearly 30 years and could not have been happier with the performance of Laurie selling our home. By the way, she also found us our new home. We are very thankful to have found Laurie Eastman as our representative to sell our home.

Review for Member: Laurie Eastman
ZillowVERIFIED I first had the pleasure of working with Laurie when I was a first-time home buyer. Laurie was attentive and attuned to what I wanted in a house. And within four days of our first meeting, we had a signed purchase agreement for the perfect house for me and for a purchase price below the asking price.Four and a half years later, when I considered relocating and putting my house on the market, the decision to work with Laurie again was an easy one. And once again, Laurie achieved an incredibly successful outcome for me. By her efforts, the sale of my house garnered the highest selling price of any house in the history of my gated community.It goes without saying that Laurie's knowledge, responsiveness, and savvy are top-notch. The fact that Laurie also genuinely cares about her clients is just icing on the cake. Bottom line: Laurie is an agent of the highest quality. Any buyer or seller should consider themselves fortunate for any opportunity to work with her.

ZillowVERIFIED Laurie and her colleague, Cyndi Terry, were extremely helpful to us for the entire search for properties, identification of the ideal ones, and, ultimately, the purchase and closing process for the property we selected. Their 24/7 assistance was extremely helpful because we were out of town buyers that were 3 times zones removed. They were our eyes and ears on the ground while we were far away. I would recommend them to anyone looking in the Newport Beach area. You will be please with their level of professionalism.

ZillowVERIFIED Laurie was a sensational agent as far as her expertise, thoroughness and engaging personality. We had had our home in Newport Beach listed for five months with another agent, after finding Laurie on Zillow she had us in escrow in less than 5 days. She was a true professional and I feel that anyone would be lucky to have Laurie represent them.

ZillowVERIFIED Laurie is very knowledgeable about the area she works in and about real estate transaction. She often helped us understate some of the subtleties. She was very responsive to our real estate needs, even coming to our house late at night in an emergency. Her handling of the escrow (paperwork) process was flawless and informative. Laurie is a polished professional and we enjoyed the experience of working with her.

ZillowVERIFIED Laurie sold our house in a week at full asking price. She then found us the perfect home 2 years later the day it went on the market. She is an amazing business person, negotiator, mom and friend.She does all she can for her clients and negotiates like a great white shark.She also seems to know everyone in Newport Beach and Costa Mesa . Personally I think she should be a Mayor. We would all be better off.

ZillowVERIFIED Look no further than Laurie! We highly recommend her. Laurie just (April 2017) helped us find and purchase our home in Newport Beach. My wife and I work and reside on the east coast, so Lauries extensive knowledge of the area and ability to handle all the details was critical. In one whirlwind weekend, Laurie helped us narrow down the neighborhoods to those that best fit our needs. She is tremendous at asking those questions that get her and us pointed to the right properties. She made the entire process easy and comforting aEUR" she has been through it all, so there were no surprises. She advised us on so many details, and was available instantly when we had questions. Laurie is one of a small number of agents who are responsible for a large share of transactions in the area. She seems to remember every transaction in town, and knows where to find value. We will trust Laurie for our future real estate needs and look forward to having her as our neighbor!Mike & Leslie

Review for Member: Laurie Eastman
ZillowVERIFIED Laurie Eastman is awesome and we highly recommend her for any real estate transaction. We recently sold and bought property through Laurie and the experience with both transactions was perfect. Laurie is truly a professional with exceptional expertise, as well as very personable, honest and enthusiastic. She works with a great team of people who are equally as professional and very knowledgeable. Due to everyones effort, Laurie not only sold our property in 14 days, but also had multiple offers on it. With respect to purchasing a house, she was very patient and listened to our needs. Once we found a home to buy, she was able to convince the seller to counter our offer before multiple offers came in. (Turns out, there was at least one back up offer on this house, which was on the market less than a week). We believe we were successful with the sale and purchase of our properties because of Lauries professionalism and her energetic personality. Whether you are buying or selling property, Laurie is the agent you want to work with. ??

ZillowVERIFIED Cyndi Terry and Laurie Eastman are consummate real estate professionals. They knew precisely what was needed to do to get our house sold. They worked with us in a very warm and understanding way and with positive energy. They did excellent negotiations and we arrived at a price we were happy with. And the house was sold within a few months.

ZillowVERIFIED Laurie sold my investment property in Newport Beach. Initially, we went with a broker who offered to list the property for a lower commission and the thought of saving money on commissions was too tempting to pass up. But, I got what I paid for. A VERY disappointing experience indeed. After a month, I cancelled the listing with him. He failed me on every front. My lender recommended we use Laurie Eastman and the difference was amazing. Laurie knows her market, she masterfully presented the property using the best professionals for the staging and the photography. The property sold in 4 days. FOUR DAYS! If you want the best, then there is no one I would recommend higher than Laurie and her team. Even her escrow company exceeded expectations. All in all, the best happy ending to an escrow story as I have ever experienced. Thank you Laurie!

One an off market investment where she actively reached out to other agents and found us what we wanted, a great duplex in time for a 1031 exchange. And a 6 month lease at the beach... another property she masterfully negotiated on our behalf. Thanks again Laurie!

ZillowVERIFIED We can't say anything more than an official "WOW!" From our first meeting to the champagne toast when we sold, Laurie was honest, friendly, realistic and down-to-earth. She is smart and understands what is valuable in today's housing market. There isn't an agent who worked harder or faster- - texts, emails, responses, paperwork, details came within minutes (even seconds). We had some tricky banking issues that she smoothed over during the escrow period like an all time pro. THANK YOU, THANK YOU, Laurie!!!

ZillowVERIFIED Laurie Eastman was hired to sell our condo in Corona del Mar Ca. From start to finish we were thrilled by her professionalism,expertise, input, and RESULTS ! She provided us great real estate coverage for our property in every space imaginable. She put us in contact with Coastal Staging who also did a terrific job. The only problem was that once we saw the property staged we didn't want to sell it. Finally we got over that and sold the property. Laurie held an open house EVERY weekend and would contact us at the end of each showing to let us know her thoughts.It could not have been any better and the results speak for themselves. She received a very competitive price for our property and we are truly glad we choose Laurie as our broker. I would recommend her to anyone Without any Reservations!! Extremely well done Laurie!! You have us as fans forever!!! Andrea and Terry Donahue

ZillowVERIFIED Laurie represented my mother in the purchase of a home in the Woodbridge village of Irvine. Laurie's expertise in negotiation allowed my mother to close the transaction in 30 days with a revised offer that was substantially below the original offer. Laurie and her assistant Bernadette provided referrals for every type of contractor, and held my mother's hand throughout the process. Laurie kept us continually apprised of the negotiations, and was extremely responsive to both phone calls and e-mail messages. She was thoroughly professional, and I highly recommend her to anyone purchasing a home.

ZillowVERIFIED I am pleased to have had an opportunity to work with Laurie. She listed our house June/July 2014 and it closed September 29, 2014. I love her very affable, sincere, easy to get along with style. Her zero pressure approach is one you immediately trust. Huge plus given the dollars and emotions involved. She also has the capability of seeing and effectively communicating all points of view. Our home sale was contingent upon the buyer selling their home within a very short time. It got a little complicated and she navigated though it beautifully.The only pressure I ever felt from Laurie was the pressure she put on herself to make "us" happy. Laurie's impressive success is not an accident or a good run of luck. She has what it takes.
