Laurence Mongeau treated us like family, guiding us to make this, the biggest purchase of our lives, the smartest move we ever made. We happened to be buying our first home during this crazy real estate boom, where list prices were only starting points in major bidding wars, and the inventory of homes available within our budget was limited. But Laurence handled these challenges with grace and professionalism, and kept us feeling positive throughout our search. We always felt we had options, and whatever house, whenever we asked, she got us a private showing. She accompanied us through every visit, and went in ALL the basements (even the scary ones!). She asked the tough questions, and got us the answers we needed. She warned us about potential problems, sharing her experience and knowledge with us, while pointing out the positives of each property without pressure. She always made us feel important, and that our search for the perfect home was her top priority. In the end, it was a very happy outcome. We purchased the perfect home for us, and we owe it all to Laurence. She was the one who found us our dream first home and it was her experience and strategy that helped us "win" it! And we truly feel like we did win, because we had the best agent in the biz on our side. Thanks, Laurence, you're number 1! Karina and Andrew J — Karina

Laurence is a real estate professional who truly cares about her clients and will always put their interests first. She gets results! I wouldn't hesitate to refer Laurence to anyone looking to buy or sell their home. — Lisa Pellerin

Laurence is personable, professional, and super organized. Her advice and support was invaluable throughout all the steps involved in selling my dad’s home as he transitioned into a retirement residence. In addition to prepping, and selling his home, there was a lifetime of belongings to deal with. Laurence provided assistance with all of it. She was prompt to respond to all inquiries and made it seem as though we were her only clients, although I know that was not the case. The house needed freshening up and she quickly was in touch with trades people and vendors to get tasks completed in short order - this level of assistance made all the difference at this challenging and sometimes overwhelming time in our lives.
Updated and staged the house resulting in a quick sale for well over list price. I can’t imagine accomplishing all this without Laurence. — Ellen D

She is Excellence personified. — Nick S

Dear Laurence, Marino and I cannot thank you enough for being our real estate agent as we sold our Family home of the past seven years. You were patient with us, and answered all of our questions. You took the time to explain in detail the process of selling and staging our home. You really went above and beyond our expectations of a real estate agent, and you were honest in your approach of presenting comparable pricing of homes in the area and what you thought was a realistic price to list our home. You are a kind and caring person, and whenever we indicated we needed assistance with downsizing or consignment, you were ready with suggestions and names to help us make the best decision possible. We would like to extend our extreme gratitude for helping us through this journey over the past twelve months. Our paths crossed professionally, however you were so genuine in our conversations we really felt like we were dealing with an old friend. We will miss you as we head north, but we are very thankful for having met you. With warmest thanks. — Linda, Marino and Natasha B

Working with Laurence was incredibly comforting because she handled every detail with precision and dedication.
