Laura Bertolacci – Real Estate Broker

Very simply Laura gets results for her clients! In a recent successful transaction with Laura my well qualified clients were getting frustrated with the time it was taking with a previous realtor — he was good, but just coming up short in each offer situation (sound familiar buyers?). But, they were introduced to Laura and in one week they found a perfect home and were in contract. One week, no exaggeration! *Results can vary :-) — but I’ve been providing mortgages for many years and worked with countless realtors — I’m not impressed that often, but in this case I was amazed with her market knowledge, her connectivity with listing agents, but mostly her results. I highly recommend her.

I am updating my review of Laura. She is just great to work with. She has a knack for finding properties for her clients. She is well respected and works well with other agents. She is well connected within the communities she works and she shares her resources with her clients. I have worked on many transactions with Laura over many years and I continue to enjoy working with her.

Laura is a wonderful real estate broker. My husband and I have know her for years and she has been very helpful in selling two homes for us. Her advice was on the mark with her recommendations as what to do to maximize the sale of the homes. She works hard, knows the Peninsula area very well, and gets the job done.

Laura ranks as the BEST agent I’ve dealt with ever, anywhere! Everything the other reviewers wrote is true. She was a pleasure to work with. She was completely turnkey. Not a once did I have to doubt her judgment. She works hard and efficiently. She is thorough. She has the best interests of her clients in mind. She is very well connected and in tune with what is going on in the market. Her team did a fabulous job.

I’ve worked with Laura on a number of projects from multiple relationships as buyer, seller, and contractor. Laura is always finding the best deals and homes for her clients. She is fun to work with and most importantly, honest. I would work with Laura again without hesitation!

My wife chose Laura to list her Redwood City home because of Laura’s reputation in our neighborhood for good service and knowledge of the local market. She provided excellent service and did indeed have a thorough understanding of what was happening in and around our neighborhood. Laura is creative, caring and very capably handled every step of the transaction. My wife signed the seller’s papers and left for Turkey nine days before the sale was to close. Her confidence in Laura’s abilities was rewarded and the sale closed on time.

We are so glad that we picked Laura to sell our townhouse. Not only did she manage to sell our property in less than 2 weeks over ask price, She is wonderful to work with throughout the process. Laura suggested many practical small updates and staging ideas that really transformed our place into a very attractive property in just 1 week. On top of that, she managed the whole process — from selecting vendors to running errands to Home Depot — on time and on budget. We were always kept informed, but never had to do any heavy lifting.

After interviewing a number of real estate agents, we picked Laura to sell our home. She was absolutely fantastic. She has a great eye on how to prepare a house for sale. She made a list of recommended updates that transformed our home! She even executed a complete landscape of our front yard, picking the plants herself from home depot. She did a fantastic job marketing our home from beautiful brochures to a outstanding web presence. She gave us great advice when it came to choosing between our numerous offers. I highly recommend Laura and will use her again for any future real estate needs.

A friend and realtor referred me to Laura when I decided to sell my home. Laura turned out to be more than your average realtor. She walked me through the process of selling my home with sincerity and skill far beyond anything I ever expected. She provided references for contractors that were well qualified and trustworthy that helped me prepare my home for sale. She created an awareness in the market when my home was listed and provided an extensive marketing skills to give my home wide exposure. My home won Best of Tour and was sold within 2 weeks with multiple offers at and above listing. It didn’t end there, Laura walked me through the close of escrow and continued to follow up even after closing. I would recommend Laura to any friend and feel they would get the best of the best!

Laura also helped me buy my house in a multiple bid situation. And I am also convinced that her reputation and credibility counted a lot in my getting the house as our bid was not very different from the others. This sounds like one of the other reviews but it is a different situation. She also was scrupulous in pointing out all the flaws she saw in the house, just wanted to make sure I was aware of them. The transaction went very smoothly, and she even helped calm me down and made suggestions to help me when I got a case of «buyers remorse» around some of the work that had to be done. We love our house, feel lucky every day to have it, and know that with another realtor, honestly, we may not have been able to get it. Thank you Laura!!!

Laura helped us buy a house in a multiple-​bidder situation. I’m convinced that her reputation in the community and her zealous advocacy on our behalf are what made the seller accept our offer over others.

A short sale in real estate is not always a pleasant transaction. But Laura and her team made it stress free! She handles all the negotiations, outlined the entire short sale process to me and how long they expected it to take to complete. They asked for no money. Michelle her assistant is GREAT! I could see that they had a very high standard of customer service and always made sure that their clients felt comfortable and informed…

It’s so difficult to think of a way to communicate in print how amazingly good this woman is at what she does. And how easy and fun she is to work with, too. First time I ever sold a house; had a sad reason for selling; was VERY skeptical about realtors, generally, as in: «What do they REALLY do to earn their money…» But needed one, so we did our homework, held several serious interviews with highly recommended realtors – and my husband and I selected Laura because she was just *no b.s.*, seemed really smart about people and about real estate transactions, was respectful of our concerns, was nothing but direct and honest with us about her concerns, too. This is one of her (many) strengths that I deeply appreciated throughout our process – she is very positive, but has the foresight to anticipate what may go wrong so that she – and her clients – are always prepared with a Plan B. Just a wise, well-​skilled and deeply knowledgeable person. She did an AMAZING job for us. Truly, our house sale could not have ended better – and this in a difficult market! I cannot praise her qualities and sense of ethics and honesty enough. She’s a ‘Just do the right thing’ professional. And, icing on the cake, she is a sweet human being and really fun to work with, too.

Laura makes every client feel like they’re the only listing she has and that they deserve 100% of her attention. From contractor referrals, to staging advice, to marketing expertise, she knows what it takes to get a home into market-​ready condition and assists the seller every step of the way to ensure that you get top dollar for your home.

Laura helped my mom sell my grandmother’s house when she passed. She was incredibly caring and helpful. She was such a huge help through the whole process. I highly recommend her to anyone who wants a personal touch when selling your home.

Laura is certainly committed to her home selling. I do her real estate photography, and can tell you first hand that she is serious about her job and knows the market. Laura is one of the top producers in our area, and that cannot be contested. She is always working hard to make sure everything is presented well, and that shows in my photos! Take a look at her website to see for yourself. You will notice how many homes she has moved in our so-​called «slow» market — with many selling in less than two weeks. She also has excellent references for the best inspectors and contractors to help prepare your home for sale and help you get top dollar.
