Laura Hess was an outstanding advocate and champion for us in every step of the process of selling our apartment. She helped us stage the apartment to its best effect. She worked with us on setting an appropriate listing price and then did an outstanding job advertising the apartment both to brokers and buyers. Once we had an accepted offer, Laura helped shepherd the sale through the board process and a quick and efficient closing. Through every step of the process, Laura was a fierce, capable, and always available advocate for us in what can be a very difficult process. She is indefatigable and very good at her job. We can’t recommend Laura Hess highly enough.

My wife and I had a wonderful time working with Laura for our home purchasing experience. This was our first time buying a home in New York City and her knowledge of Brooklyn and experience as a broker really played in our favor. She was not simply facilitating the process but was instead actively searching the area and when we found a home we wanted to make an offer on, she negotiated an offer that made us feel great about the purchase! We decided to purchase a co-op in the end, and the entire buying experience went smoothly because of her. She is very passionate about the real estate industry and she takes a lot of pride in representing her clients. We couldn't ask for more and we highly recommend Laura. Kyle & Vanessa Wolf 

No one knows the Brooklyn real estate market better than Laura and her team. We recently worked with Laura a second time, entrusting her to sell our Brooklyn house. We felt at ease throughout the entire process. From pricing and marketing strategy to staging, timing and negotiations, Laura handled the sale with expert guidance that brought in multiple offers above asking. Working with Laura means all of your questions and concerns about the buying/selling process will be answered almost immediately, which, for us, was priceless. Many thanks to Laura for a job VERY well done!

Laura provided exceptionally responsive service in helping us sell our Brooklyn apartment. She had a vision for how we should stage our apartment and made some great stylistic choices to prep us for the open houses, while also putting in the effort to turn that vision into a reality. We got several strong offers above asking price and Laura continued to help us navigate an extended close window. Laura was super helpful and friendly throughout a stressful process and took so much off our plate. Couldn’t recommend her higher!

Laura is a superior professional and incredible person. Our home buying process last over 12 months and she was all-in in every way at every moment - visiting countless apartments with us, doing a massive amount of legwork visiting apartments herself and sending us videos when we couldn’t visit ourselves, and acting as an invaluable wealth of knowledge, insight, and guidance. She intimately knows the intricacies of both the market and the business side of things - helping us carefully navigate negotiations and financial considerations, key to our ultimate ability to win a bidding war while keeping the price within reasonable parameters and getting the perfect apartment for us. Patient, calm, understanding, hard working, kind. She handled the rental of our current apartment and PERSONALLY SPENT HOURS HELPING US CLEAN AND DECLUTTER! She connected us with handymen, photographers, and other professionals along our journey. She liaised with lawyers, bankers, and the sellers representative to move everything forward in good time. This woman is an absolute dynamo of a real estate professional and a wonderful human!

We worked with Laura on selling our condo, and the process couldn’t have possibly been quicker, easier, or more effective than it was. She staged our apartment, got professional photos and videos taken, and got the listing up within days of us working together. At a time when the market was extremely slow and we were very nervous about the sale taking a long time, Laura got an offer on our apartment in less than two weeks and we closed  in under a month for $80,000 over ask!!! The other apartments similar to ours in our neighborhood have been on the market for months.  After we went under contract, Laura has coordinated all of the communication with the buyers and has made the process extremely stress free for us overall.  Can’t imagine working with anyone else!  

Here's how you know Laura is an amazing asset to any buyer/seller. She represented the seller on an apartment we loved. We felt so good about her professionalism and how she represented that seller, we made a deal to buy that apartment and immediatley hired her to sell the apartment we where leaving. She is tenacious. She is detailed oriented. She is very hard-working and- above all-she gets things done!

Laura was the perfect partner for my condo sale. She worked quickly and thoroughly, and anticipated problems before they could happen. She hosted twice-weekly open houses and followed up with every visitor. This all happened during a surprisingly rough seller's market in Fall 2023, but she managed to secure an all-cash offer in 30 days, and we closed less than a month later.

Laura did everything right. Full stop. Communication is vitally important, renting your home is deeply personal and stressful, Laura clearly understands that. She kept us proactively updated and did not stop pushing until we had checks in our hands. We remain deeply grateful to have her as an asset and resource for life.

Laura Hess is smart and hardworking. She was a great communicator throughout the sale of my Brooklyn co-op. Her team guided me through the process and kept working until I had multiple offers to consider. After going into contract with a buyer, she stayed in the game to make sure that nothing was missed and everything ran smoothly. She made smart recommendations, knows the market, and kept me informed. The best decision I've made is hiring her to sell my apartment.

Laura Hess is the total package and a true pro in every sense of the word! She used every bit of savvy and smarts to attract a highly qualified buyer for my Brooklyn coop in a very challenging market that saw multiple interest rate hikes. Laura knows the market better than anyone. From pricing and marketing strategy to her eye for staging, I knew I was in good hands. She is proactive and dedicated, and a natural at building relationships with everyone along the way. She even knew my building and its board practices from prior sales, which proved invaluable. Laura kept the deal moving at every step, resulting in a prompt and seamless closing. I am so grateful I had Laura on “my team” and it was a pleasure working with her. I wouldn’t want to work with anyone else.

My husband and I had the great pleasure of working with Laura on the recent sale of our condo in Brooklyn. We had met with a few brokers back in 2022, but decided to hold off until the spring of 2023 to list. Laura's follow up was excellent and she stayed in touch with us over that year until we were ready to put our place on the market. Once we made the decision, Laura jumped right in. She knew exactly how to price, style and market our home to the best advantage. We received multiple offers after her first showing and within a matter of days had 13 offers with half of them being cash! We couldn't be happier with the results. Our condo sold for $131,000 over list! Laura was so nice to work with. She is very professional and clearly knows the market well. Beyond that, she is just a great person and fun to be around. We would 100% recommend working with Laura! She's the best!

We recently had the pleasure of working with Laura as our buyer’s agent and we recommend her services. Laura showed professionalism, expertise and dedication to finding the perfect home for us. The communication was great as Laura understood our needs and responded in a timely manner. Laura has an extensive knowledge of the local real estate market and the neighborhoods we were looking at, which greatly helped us make decisions in the process. Last but not the least, Laura was caring and patient, she understood and respected our budget, and never pushed us even when the market was tough.

Laura set the bar higher than any other broker we’ve met, and we have worked with more than a few in our lifetime. Laura provided a big-picture to granular-level overview of the market and what to realistically expect when we decided to list with her. Laura created a strategy for arriving at a competitive listing price,which paid off big! We received multiple offers and sold for $81K over ask!

What is most extraordinary about Laura is that she perfectly balances the two most important skills someone in her position needs to have: (1) bringing her expertise in the art, science, and business of a real estate transaction and (2) fiercely advocating for you as her client. Unfortunately, it's rare. Fortunately, if you're reading this, you've found Laura! By responding quickly, making introductions, asking questions, listening, and pushing the process forward, she gets the job done with accuracy, tenacity, grace, and more than a little bit of her distinctive NYC style. We'd use her again in a heartbeat for a purchase, a sale, or even to stage our new home for better living!"

Laura sold our Co-op for 17% over asking and had 27 offers within a week! More than just being prepared, incredibly responsive, and having our back through every step, Laura has is a rare combination of top notch realtor and top notch interior designer. She came with truly winning ideas for our space that made us wish we had met her years before. I will recommend her to everyone I know!

Laura masterfully led my husband and I through the selling process ensuring that our Prospect Lefferts Gardens,Co-op apartment sold for well-above asking price, setting a building and block record at $146,000 over ask. At the same time guided us through the maze of buying a new co-op apartment in Manhattan. Laura is dedicated, hard working and an expert in her field-a real gem! Highly recommended!

Laura was wonderful to work with in selling our condo. She helped us understand the market and what we could expect in terms of price and the whole selling process. She did a beautiful job staging our condo and marketing it aggressively. We sold for above asking price. Laura is very attentive to details, responsive, and dedicated to getting the best outcome possible for her clients. She made a very stressful process so much easier. I would highly recommend working with Laura.
