What clients say about this agent....
We met Laura by putting in a request to see a home that was on Zillow. She offered to appraise our house and did so promptly. When we decided to list it, we chose her. It turned out to be a fantastic choice. She was extremely helpful, responsive, and knowledgeable. Her team did an outstanding job of photographing our house and presenting it in an appealing way. It sold in three days, above the list price. At every step along the way, Laura quickly responded to inquiries or concerns. She has a calm, studied way about her and seems very knowledgeable of the local market. We very strongly recommend her.
Buying a home in early 2022 has been difficult with the record-low inventory and many houses being snapped up hours after they were listed. My husband and I have bought and sold over a dozen homes, and this market was by far the most challenging for us. Although this has been the most frustrating housing market weve experienced, we could not have survived it without an excellent realtor, Laura Stevens. I really dislike emphatic exaggeration, and I am going outside my comfort zone to even write this review, but I feel just so strongly about Lauras effectiveness as a realtor. I honestly dont think you we could have worked with a better realtor during this achingly difficult process. Laura Stevens is the most impressive, experienced, professional, and helpful realtor that weve met (and weve worked with more than a dozen realtors in our time in Bloomington). Karma did us a solid when we ended up with her randomly at the showing of a house in December 2021 when requesting an agent through Zillow. After that first experience, I was hooked and very happy to keep working with her. Laura was knowledgeable, timely, communicative, proactive, reliable, and patient. Her highest priority is helping her customers find the right house for them and be comfortable with their decisions during the process. She is the hardest working and dedicated realtor I have ever observed. After touring literally dozens of homes (I think we toured about 75 homes and made multiple failed offers), she never gave up on our search, and she was as dedicated to our search as I would have ever wanted. Lauras personality is low-key yet effective, proactive on our behalf yet never pushy toward us. At all times we felt that we were her highest priority client although we knew she was juggling a number of clients and appointments. When so many realtors make me almost cringe with their sales rhetoric and overbearing fast-talking, Laura was calm, sincere, willing to listen and ask the right questions. During our process we faced a large number of unexpected challenges (with sellers and with inspection issues), and Laura was able to handle these on the fly. We learned quickly that problems dont always have a straightforward answer or textbook solution, and Lauras creative problem solving was a huge asset. Laura has been a realtor in this area for over two decades and this allowed her to help us find quality inspectors and contractors quickly (when all others were booked out too far past the inspection response timeline). Laura was tenacious, service-minded, honest, sincere, tech-savvy, and paid attention to details. We could not be more grateful for Lauras help, knowledge and guidance through this process of finding a successful home.
I have bought several homes over the years, but Laura Stevens (with the Indiana Team) is by far the best I've worked with on a purchase. I knew I wanted to find an experienced Premier Agent because I was looking for a high-end home with quite specific requirements, and after reading lots of reviews I selected The Indiana Team/Laura. She was exceptionally professional and helpful, going above and beyond at every step of the process from the initial tours to closing and even helping with some details post-closing since we were moving in from out-of-state.Our whole process was remote since we ended up finding a home we liked and didn't have time to fly out and visit in person. In our first phone call, Laura impressed me with her knowledge of the local real estate market and had inside information about many of the homes I was interested in -- she told us a lot of info that we wouldn't have found on Zillow. Laura set up a bunch of virtual tours, and it turned out that the first one was our favorite. She helped us with strategy for the bidding/negotiation phase and despite another offer coming in before ours, we ended up with our offer selected by the seller.Laura also helped with the inspection phase, arranging and attending inspections on our behalf, solving some issues with city permits that came up, etc. etc.; We had expected to have to chase down these issues ourselves but she proactively took care of everything she could, and kept us informed every step of the way with frequent email/text updates and phone calls when needed.We were nervous about buying a home completely remotely, but Laura made it worry-free. After closing, the house was vacant for a while before we moved into town, and during a week with a severe winter storm she checked on the house a couple times for us to make sure the heaters were working and the pipes wouldn't freeze (and she was the one who suggested this and volunteered; it wasn't our idea).All in all, Laura is excellent as a buyer's agent, knowledgeable, professional, proactive, and great at timely communication. Very highly recommended!
This was my first home buying experience, and I am so lucky and grateful to have had Laura Stevens as my agent. I work as a truck driver and Laura was such a help scheduling and attending necessary inspections and appointments I couldn't make. She was always in communication with me, and the process flowed right along! Thank you, thank you, thank you!
Laura has exceeded my expectations in a realtor! She has patiently worked with me through this competitive market to find a home best suited for me. She has given solid guidance on locations, the market, and has been very responsive including when we had to act quick! It was my first time buying a home and she helped answer all questions along the way.
Laura was a extremely pleasurable to work with. As a first time home buyer she was able to walk my through the process and explain everything very well. Laura was always just a text or a phone call
Laura is perfect realtor for us. She handled our search for a Condo at the pointe so efficiently. We looked at multiple properties & changed our mind several times because of information she provided us as we liked at more units. She was so responsive & so knowledgeable about the Pointe real estate environment.She will be our future realtor for any home needs we have in the entire Bloomington area.

We would highly recommend Laura as a realtor, she is very responsive and on time to all appointments and phone calls. She is helpful and honest and a good communicator. We had a great experience buying a home.
This is the second time I have worked with Laura and I can't say enough great things about my experience. Not only does Laura have my best interests in mind, but she is an exceptional communicator, was always available, and has OUTSTANDING knowledge of the area. She never left a question unanswered and really helped me understand the process as we went along. I'm looking forward to working with Laura again when it's time to upgrade down the road :)
