We could not have asked for a better realtor to help us find and buy our first home! Laurie’s expertise in the Austin market is unparalleled. She provided thoughtful and clear insights on the various downtown adjacent neighborhood we were interested in. When it came to viewing homes, she made herself available on short notice and always made sure we were one of the first people to see a newly listed property. She had valuable insight on the condition and quality of the homes we visited. Laurie coached us through the entire home-buying process… from helping us craft competitive offers to signing the final paperwork on closing day. She was with us every step of the way. We felt very cared for and supported by her.
Avva Bassiri & Jason Azar
We have been working with Laurie for years. She has helped our family both buy and sell our homes. Our current home was listed and sold within two days and over asking price. She is an absolute pleasure to work with, always professional, and you can count on her to go the extra mile for your family. I’d recommend Laurie to anyone buying or selling a home.
Brittany & Eric Hare
Laurie was the absolute best to work with! She brings a wealth of local knowledge, the upmost professionalism, and was able to help us navigate a difficult buyers’ market with ease. We were first-time home buyers and Laurie guided us through every step of the process, going above & beyond and anticipating issues or providing information we didn’t even know we needed. I will recommend Laurie to everyone I know!
Caitlin & Jake Seidman
I really enjoyed working with Laurie. She is extremely knowledgeable of the Austin market and she worked well with my chaotic schedule. I highly recommend her to anyone buying a home.
Anthony Fusco
Laurie was fantastic to work with. She helped us navigate a completely new market for us, understand different neighborhoods and their pros/cons, and helped us find a home that would be a great fit for our family. She was always responsive and professional and overall a great partner. Even after we closed on the home, she made sure our home was ok while we planned a move.
Daniel Loreto
Laurie worked with us for a year, while we lived out of state, helping us find our home, go through inspection, and close. Could not have done it without her. Intelligent, professional, ethical, diligent, and kind.
Jean & Jeff Manners
Laurie was professional, expedient, thoughtful, and facilitated all major parts of the purchase of my new home in Austin. She helped with a financing opportunity, utility-bill setup, negotiation, home inspection, trips to see the properties, etc. I’m thrilled with her. She provided next-level service, and I look forward to working with her again on future real estate purchases.
Sumanth Swaminathan
Laurie is spectacular! My husband and I are actually going to miss working with her because she found us a home so quickly. We closed within 18 days of seeing the house for the first time. I’m pregnant and really appreciated Laurie’s attention to detail, quick responses, and negotiation skills in a situation where there were multiple offers on the property. We’re so thrilled to be moving into our dream home with plenty of time before my due date!
Madeline Rau
Laurie is the consummate professional, always punctual, patient, concise in explanations, available, and an excellent problem solver. We had a very complicated and time-consuming transaction, selling our two homes (one in Naples, FL and one in Blowing Rock, NC), while trying to work simultaneous closings on them and our purchase in Lakeway. We lost one sale, because of the COVID debacle, then Laurie nursed our next deal to a successful, although late, closing. We highly recommend Laurie to any wanting a great broker representative.
Brenda & John Pace
Laurie has orchestrated three transactions for us seamlessly in the past few years. Her calm and organized search process and thoughtful and informed sales approach have served us well in a recent move to be closer to the Zilker trail. Her pricing and sales strategies for attracting out-of-state buyers allowed us to sell off-market and quickly. Her tireless effort and attention to detail continue to give us confidence that she is and always will be the real estate resource for us in Austin.
Nichole & Justin Peterson
Laurie was the best person I could have worked with. As a first-time home buyer, she was incredibly patient while I worked through my process of figuring out what I wanted. She gave advice when I needed it, but never pressured me. She kept me on track for closing and truly answered any and all questions that I had. She was AMAZING during the closing process as well and had inspections lined up immediately and managed all of the follow ups so I could have a 21-day close. I would have been lost without Laurie!!!
Kristen Schermer
Laurie is amazing! She has excellent communication skills and is so quick to respond to emails and texts. As a first-time home buyer, she helped me through every step of the process. Her honest feedback during walkthroughs was helpful and appreciated. During the closing process, she sent me reminders about setting up utilities and mail service with phone numbers and links, which was so helpful, and also provided numerous recommendations to help my partner and I get settled into our new home. But it also doesn't end there, Laurie checked in with me after closing to ensure the transition has gone through smoothly. I highly recommend Laurie Mills and would 100% use her services again!
Christina Brichetto
Laurie worked with our family for more than a year. We looked initially, and ultimately decided to pause the search, and when we were ready to restart, Laurie was ready to go. Throughout the process, we felt she did a great job getting to know us and our needs. She was proactive in presenting potential homes and made herself available at a moment’s notice. One thing Laurie is especially great at is being responsive and being a good communicator. Her response time to emails, calls and texts can be measured in minutes/hours – never an instance where it takes a day or two to get back to you. We greatly appreciated that as the market here in Austin is fast moving. We’d recommend Laurie to anyone.
Brittany & Eric Hare
I’m so very grateful for Laurie Mills. Her knowledge as a lifelong Austinite and Portfolio Realtor was essential in navigating this market. Laurie’s extensive network provided opportunities for off-market properties and private listings. She also provided critical knowledge of upcoming construction, closures, and expert market analysis. In a most unusual time of COVID, Laurie navigated us with diligence, dedication, and upmost integrity. She honed in on our most specific needs in a home and used her keen eye to look out for our best interests. Laurie is prompt, prepared, attentive, detailed, transparent, experienced, professional, and made what I anticipated to be a difficult or stressful experience, fun and rewarding instead. We love our new home, it is perfect for us. I’m truly grateful for everything Laurie did for us – above and beyond each step of the way!
Tiffany Brumley
Laurie is excellent! She really helped me navigate the home-buying process every step of the way and brought to my attention so many things I would never thought to consider. She is personable and pays a lot of attention to detail. I’d highly recommend her to anyone.
Autumn Lax
It was an immense pleasure working with Laurie. It was my first time buying a home, and she broke everything down for me very nicely. She guided me when I needed guidance and made sure I had the tools and knowledge I needed to get smoothly to closing. She listened carefully to my needs to help me find the perfect match. In looking at homes, she saw things I’d never think of and really leveraged her experience to find potential issues with a home before an inspection was done. I truly recommend Laurie if you’re looking for an awesome real estate agent.
Trevor Hackett
Laurie was instrumental to the successful conclusion of the purchase of our new home. Her familiarity with the local market gave us a head start on the bid process and allowed us to have our home under contract prior to what would have ultimately been a bidding war. As we progressed through the option period, Laurie leveraged her network of local contractors resulting in a more transparent view of the all-in purchase price and overall deal economics. We loved working with Laurie and will call on her again when the time comes to sell!
Naoko & Dave Crull
We had the absolute best experience working with Laurie. We’re first-time home buyers relocating to Austin. We were very concerned about conducting a home search from so far away. As out-of-towners, it was extremely important to us that our realtor know the Austin area. Laurie guided us through so many different neighborhoods and made sure we saw them all. She is truly an expert on the Austin real estate market. It all started with a phone call in January and ended with our finding our dream home just one month later! She spent her time with us. After deciding on our home, she walked us through every step of the way. She always made time for our many questions and phone calls. She arranged and attended many inspections that we just could not be there for. Laurie made this foreign process very simple for us from start to finish. Not only that, she is a joy to work with! We are forever thankful for all Laurie’s help.
Alyce Goudeau & Chris Fusco
Laurie knows the market well. She was extremely deft at ensuring things ran smoothly. She even helped with the tile selection! She knew when to step in when things weren’t going well and when to hold back and let matters take their course, when input would make things more difficult. Laurie is super and a genuinely nice person to work with. I cannot recommend her highly enough.
Ilene Schnall
Laurie brought us home! Searching for a house in Austin while we were living in D.C. was not an easy task, but Laurie helped us navigate an unfamiliar and competitive market to buy the perfect home at the right price! Her tireless diligence, patience and thoughtful responsiveness raise the bar for professionalism in any universe.
Tanis & Ben Herndon
We just sold and purchased a house with Laurie and had a fantastic experience! Laurie is highly knowledgeable and extremely responsive – I don’t think we ever waited more than a few minutes when texting or emailing for a response to any of our questions… and her answers were thoughtful and well informed. She was also very available when we wanted to view houses. What I liked most about Laurie is that she had a point of view and provided solid advice through both the sale and purchase process. I highly recommend!
Kelly & Paul Ritter
We are new to both Austin and Texas so we were thrilled to meet Laurie, who was extremely knowledgeable about the areas we’re looking in and the process itself. We bought a new build and had some minor issues with the builder at the end. Laurie handled these obstacles with professional ease. She knew exactly how to handle all parties involved and made us feel like our interest was truly being looked out for. Laurie referred us to a mortgage company who easily beat all other mortgage offers we had, including the builders, saving us thousands. I have worked in the mortgage industry for more than 20 years, so I have worked with countless Realtors. Laurie is in a class by herself — an absolute professional. We’ll refer Laurie with confidence.
Casey & Coren Turner
Laurie is very professional and knows the market very well. She helped us get the property we were looking for at an attractive price. We would recommend her highly.
Lisa & Pete Wisnie
Laurie Mills exceeded our expectations. When I received a call asking to relocate to Austin, TX, I didn’t know anything about the area and was apprehensive about buying. Laurie educated my wife and I on the Austin market and found us the perfect home, remotely, which had to be challenging considering our taste. Overall, outstanding experience. I highly recommend her to anyone looking to purchase a home in Austin or surrounding areas.
Heather & Aaron Crawford
Laurie was wonderful to work with during our new home search. She was always prompt and professional. She continued to check on us even after closing. Laurie easily knew what we were looking for in a house – she listens very closely and knows the market very well. She also made of point of including our teenage kids in the process. I would highly recommend her!
Renee & Phil Ernst
Laurie’s involvement is essential for any residential transaction in Austin’s most coveted areas. Her professionalism, attention to detail and win-win negotiating skills are unmatched.
Her guidance and patience throughout the home buying process were a calming force. Even after our transaction was complete, she consistently went above and beyond to help us complete more than a dozen home construction tasks before we arrived in Austin.
We cannot imagine a better partner and we recommend her without reservation.
Nichole & Justin Peterson
Laurie made our home buying process smooth and easy! She responded to emails and text messages right away; even on nights and weekends! She always had a smile on her face and took care of our requests and negotiated on our behalf friendly and professionally. We were not familiar with the area we were moving to and Laurie went above and beyond to help us fine-tune our search criteria and land us in the perfect home. When we flew in to look at houses, she had all the paperwork printed out for us and the home tours scheduled. I didn't need to worry about a single thing. I highly recommend Laurie Mills for purchasing a home in the Austin area!
Tiffini & Ryan Alberto
As first time home buyers, we were a little overwhelmed with the Austin (& Dripping Springs) real estate market. Laurie calmed our nerves and made the process a breeze. From day one I was extremely impressed with her responsiveness. She kept us informed day and night and was always willing to go the extra mile to get any additional information and/or updates. We appreciated Laurie’s genuine concern to find a home that suited both of our wants. By the end of the process I felt like I was checking in with a friend instead of working on a business transaction. If you have an idea of what you’re looking for, rest assured Laurie will help you get it! We are grateful for the friends who recommended her to us and we will continue to recommend her to others!
Whitney & Mark Owens
Laurie was great. She was very available and responsive. She had valuable insights into the market and was able to help guide my decision making process. And she's also friendly and attentive to your needs, which makes her a pleasure to work with. I would definitely use her again in the future.
Andy MacQueen
I've worked with Laurie twice now and will continue to do so! A few highlights/strengths to consider:
- Experience & deep understanding of the Austin market. She let us know what to expect in every area of town we visited (and gave me coffee/taco recommendations in each neighborhood too)!
- Attention to detail. Laurie mentioned interesting (good/bad) details of the houses we were looking through that we would have never considered or realized. Her ability to ask the right questions and get a feel for what's important to her clients is paramount.
- Responsiveness. Being able to communicate with Laurie at anytime (text/call/email) was key to getting the place we wanted and planning walk throughs around busy schedules.
- Personable & Professional. The process of finding a home can be stressful but every walk through we did with Laurie was productive and honestly fun.
I've recommended her to friends and colleagues alike. I really enjoy working with her, and we love our new home!
Justin Cotter
Laurie was referred to me by a friend, and she was amazing! I would 100% enthusiastically recommend her. As a lifelong Austinite, she is incredibly knowledgeable about Austin. She showed me numerous neighborhoods (we looked up in the Arboretum, down off Congress, in Southwest Austin, by Mueller, everywhere), discussed the various schools (Austin High, Bowie High, etc.), the traffic situation (coming from past Zilker to up by the Domain), everything. She was also very accessible; she would answer my calls, texts, and emails late at night and often showed me properties on Saturday mornings so I didn't miss work. I felt she represented me well in negotiations. My home had a four-way bidding war and we won! She developed a great relationship with the seller's agent, and most importantly, I feel she always had my best intentions in mind. I trusted her, and she delivered. Plus, she's just an awesome person, and I look forward to being friends with her for a very long time. Thank you so much Laurie! Can't wait to have you over to my new home.
Stephanie Browne
Laurie was very helpful with our search in Austin. She assisted us in scheduling showings and was there to explain to us all everything about the properties. We were in multiple offer situations on two properties and Laurie managed those circumstances with outstanding professionalism.
Elane & Pete Dailey
Laurie was referred to me by a friend who's a previous client. The recommendation was warranted. We were not an easy client as we're relocating, needed to shop houses via FaceTime and in tight time frames. Laurie was accommodating, responsive, understanding, and went out of her way to help us, even when it was last minute. She's also fun to spend that time with — bringing personality to a stressful/emotional process, which was such a bonus for us while on our house hunt. Work with Laurie, you'll be her next referrer, I promise.
Kellie & Chris Leger
She is very knowledgeable about the Austin area. Laurie showed me the best areas for my needs and met all my requests. We found the perfect home! Laurie was a pleasure to work with.
Loretta Whitten
I found Laurie through a property I was interested in on Zillow. While I liked that property in person, I didn't LOVE it. Laurie immediately picked up on my hesitation, and offered to help me find the perfect property. We worked together for a couple of weeks until I found the perfect condo. Laurie set up property searches for several areas in town that I was interested in, and kept me updated on new listings in those areas. She also arranged viewings of properties I found on my own. It was great having an experienced agent as the middleman when dealing with property managers, and ultimately the owner of the condo I am moving into. Laurie was kind, cheerful, and patient. I feel like she really cared about me finding the perfect apartment. Ultimately, I don't think I would have gotten the condo I wanted at such a good price without Laurie's expert assistance. I recommend her services highly!
Courtney DiSabato
Laurie showed me one property (to start) that I was interested in originally. She was very knowledgeable about Austin so I asked her to continue looking for additional options during my search. She delivered several other options with attention to my search criteria/budget. Overall, she was very responsive (via phone/email), gave me (honest) advice on neighborhoods and was really flexible on scheduling walk-throughs (even on weekends). I enjoyed working with Laurie and will definitely use her again in the future.
