client testimonials

"I had almost no idea what I was looking for and am extremely grateful that Laurel was able to constructively organize my needs and wants and steer me in a direction that ultimately led to my dream apartment in Boston. I am very lucky to have had Laurel guiding me through the entire process and educating me on the subtle nuisances of the real estate market in Boston Laurel understood what I wanted, showed me properties that fit my requests, and stuck with me as I made the plunge into buying my first home. I met with a lot of brokers before Laurel and I can truly say that our relationship was by far the most enjoyable, most thorough and most thoughtful real estate experience I've had in Boston."

"Laurel made the selling process quick and trouble-free! I was especially impressed by the quality of her marketing and how effectively she brought buyers to our home. We needed to sell quickly, but at the same time, retain our young children’s quality of life. Laurel listened to our needs and made it work. She sold our house for asking price, handled all of the details, and ensured a professional and smooth sales process. We would highly recommend marketing your home with Laurel."

"Working with Laurel has been a pleasure. Since it was my first time buying, I wasn't really sure what to expect. She worked with me to get pre-approved, then found the perfect home for me."

- Anil Seetharam

"I've bought two properties with Laurel, and each transaction has been a pleasure. She's on top of the paperwork and has come to really understand my needs."

- Chris Murray

"I needed to sell my condo in Back Bay while living in California. I needed a sales agent who could bring me up to speed on the Boston market and help me make good decisions about selling my home. Laurel worked with contractors and the management company to quickly get my home ready for sale. She kept me informed of showings, open houses, and feedback so that I felt involved. When my home did not sell right away, she stuck with it and remained positive. She helped me feel that the sale of my home was under control, and an important part of her daily goals. I am very happy I chose to list my home with Laurel and not another agent.

"Complex transactions are no problem for Laurel. She successfully negotiated the purchase of my new home, working with me from Hong Kong!"

- Jimmy Chen

"Laurel brilliantly found the perfect home for me on very short notice. I traveled in from out of town and found my new home on my first outing with Laurel. She helped prepare me prior to my visit so that I could make informed decisions quickly and confidently. Managing a long-distance sale and move, and starting a new career was stressful, but Laurel was always available to help and make sure my needs and concerns were being addressed. Laurel knows how to listen to her clients and translate needs into action. I am so thrilled with my new home & am glad I found Laurel to help me buy it."

"Choosing Laurel Acker to sell our property was the best decision we made. Within days of listing, it was sold -- for the asking price! Laurel worked with us to get our home ready to be marketed properly, and helped us make the most of modest improvements. She worked with the buyer’s broker and made sure all the details were covered. Laurel is a great sales agent and a fantastic resource. We strongly recommend Laurel to anyone who is looking to market their home."

- Paul Krugman

"Everyone has her ideal home. For my husband and I, the trick was finding the right realtor who could interpret our emotionally driven visions and show us the bricks-and-mortar realty. Laurel was expert at listening to what we wanted and finding the properties that satisfied our needs and dreams. We’ve been living in the perfect South End condo ever since. Laurel found our ideal property on the second day that we worked with her, proof that she listens to her clients and follows their agenda, not her own. We recommend Laurel to each of our friends looking to buy or sell their homes. We couldn’t ask for a better blend of professionalism, market knowledge, and personal interest."

- Tim and Nicole Shaw

"Laurel showed me exactly what I wanted to see! She was able to educate me about the market and pin-point properties that worked. In addition, she helped me save time and money by listening to my needs and by being on top of everything."
