Laurie bought the vendors and the buyer together

I really liked my new property the first time I saw it with Laurie. Laurie is friendly, approachable and a pleasure to deal with. She is also focused on bringing vendors and buyers together in a truly professional but caring way. She worked with both parties and nothing was too much trouble for her. Thanks to Laurie, everyone was able to come to a satisfactory agreement with a minimum of fuss and no drama. Anyone thinking of buying or selling should talk to Laurie Johnston. She achieves results in a professional but caring manner.

Brilliant Agent!

We are so grateful we had Laurie as our agent. My Mum just sold her home of 64 years so it was quite an emotional time for her, Laurie was with us every step of the way, her understanding and caring nature made it so easy for my Mum. We can not thank Laurie enough for everything she did for us, as she went way beyond what we expected from an agent.

Total Professional

Vanessa worked very, very hard on the sale of our place. Her efforts were beyond what I expected of an agent. She was never far away in terms of communicating with us, and I could not recommend anyone more professional and hard-working. Same could be said of her support team.
