Testimonials
Julie, did a wonderful job from beginning to end. Julie, was helpful at every stage of the transaction. From even before we hired Julie. She was helpful in evaluating our property, significantly helping prep the property for sale by identifying and contacting multiple service providers, staging the property and agressively marketing the property. Once bids came in, she was thoughtful in terms of comparing the bids. Overall, she did a great job.
I first met Julie as a neighbor, and over time came to see that she is someone with great integrity, passion, knowledge, smarts, and oodles and oodles of energy. When I decided to sell my condo by the lake, there was no doubt that I would turn to Julie to be my broker. I have sold and purchased homes in the past, and can say without reservation that Julie truly went above & beyond. She was my guide, navigator, resource & referral coordinator, hand holder, panic de-escalator, and all-around expert. I appreciated her honesty and humility above all. I have not hesitated to share her name with others!
I referred a good friend of mine to Laura for the selling of his house and the start of his retirement. He was very nervous about selling his home because it would be one of the largest transactions in his life. He was consolidating down to retire to northern California. He has been a longtime friend of mine and neighbor, and when it came time, he asked me what and how he should sell his home. I referred him to Laura Zeidan because of her reputation and experience that I have had with Laura. I can say that I fully trust that Laura would take care of my friend and his sale. During the process Laura educated my friend on all the processes to sell his house and get top dollar for it. My friend was very impressed with Laura's knowledge of not only the selling process but how to get the most for your house. She managed the project from start to finish, including the light remodeling that was done to capture a higher selling price for the property. My friend had a price in mind for his home of 40 years and was shocked that he ended up with almost 20% more than what he thought he would get for his house. I applaud Laura and her team on taking care of my dear friend and would recommend Laura to anyone selling or buying a home in this crazy market we live in. Thank you, Laura, for taking care of Tom
Laura's great! She shepherded us through over a year and a half of on-and-off house hunting until we landed our dream house in Piedmont in 2020. She knew the areas we were targeting inside and out and was constantly giving us great insights and perspective on everything going on in the market and in all of the homes she toured with us. Laura displayed great intuition about where the market would settle on all of the homes we looked at with her--it was uncanny! We definitely can't recommend Laura enough
Laura helped my husband and I purchase our first home and we are forever grateful for her help and support during our search. Laura helped us explore options in Oakland and also helped as we expanded our search to Pleasant Hill/Walnut Creek. Laura has a wonderful attitude and a positive energy that helped us stay optimistic during a long and exhausting search for a home. She was a joy to work with and we highly recommend working with Laura! We would hands down work with her again!
Laura helped my wife and I buy a home this year and selecting her as our Realtor was one of the best decisions we made. In this challenging/competitive/treacherous market Laura was the calm voice of reason and provided great guidance throughout every offer. I would highly recommend her for your Realtor if you are looking to buy or sell, you won't regret it!
We bought and sold our home with Laura within a two year span and we couldn't have asked for a better realtor! Not only did she get us an amazing deal up front - she helped us find contractors, inspectors, vendors of any kind along the way. She's so much more than a realtor - she's an expert at helping her clients balance priorities and make first-time homeownership smooth. When it came time to sell our home, we moved out of state and she did absolutely everything. She organized vendors to do work on the house, managing all aspects for weeks before getting us top dollar in a quick timeframe. Thank you so much for all you did for us, Laura!
Laura is by far one of best realtor and just over all human beings, I have met. I'm very lucky to call her one of my best friends. Personal relationship aside, as a realtor, she really knows what she is doing. She will go above and beyond for her clients and she truly cares about what is important to YOU in the home buying process. She never wasted our time when it came to showing my husband and I houses. Everything she brought to the table was in our budget, and could potentially work for us. It took us some time to find our perfect home, but she was there every step of the way! We came close a few times, but she could tell our hesitation, and encouraged us to only make offers on homes we were 100% sure about. The way we found our dream home wasn't typical. We had been searching for some time, honestly it felt like forever! We kept changing locations, "must haves", wants, needs, etc. We found homes that "could work" but left one of our boxes unchecked. Until we received one of those random emails from Zillow about "homes in our area". Much to our surprise we saw one that we loved that was in our budget!However, when I spoke to Laura about it, turns out it wasn't listed as for sale . I was at a soccer game with Laura and she says "You know what, there is a realtor listed on this house, I'm going to just give her a call and see why the house was on a Zillow site if it's not for sale". Laura was told that the homeowners had the house up for sale a months prior, but took it off the market because they weren't receiving the offers they were looking for and they were expecting a baby, so they figured they should wait until after the baby was born. Thankfully, we had Laura as our realtor! Laura kept in close contact with the homeowners realtor and passed on that they were willing to sell...off market! Laura set up a meeting time and place, and made it possible for us to see the house before putting in a solid offer. She walked us through the process with ease, and made us feel completely comfortable every step of the way. My husband drilled her with questions left and right, and she remained calm and professional and either had all the answers, or found them. Although this wasn't our first rodeo, she made it a much better experience, and instilled us with some much needed confidence. We couldn't be happier with how everything turned out! She is a special individual that cares more about her clients happiness and getting their wishes fulfilled than having a speedy closing. She has drive, and is always looking to make herself better. She has countless resources available that she can utilize WITH you as opposed to sending you to. She will never suggest you do something on your own, she will always be by your side, or on the phone with you. She will not stop until you your heart is full and you are in your dream home. My family and I HIGHLY recommend Laura as a realtor and friend! This lady knows what she is doing!
It was such a pleasure working with Laura Zeidan. Her attention to detail and thoroughness around the staging was exceptional. She has a keen ability to bring bring the beauty out in a property and maximize the value for her sellers. It took less than a month for her to sell the property, at a number significantly above asking. There is no doubt this success was attributed to Laura and her passion for helping people. S.N
Laura was and is exceptional. Let me say that one more time for the people in the back, exceptional. We had been through various realtors seeing tons of houses and felt as though we were never being heard on what we were looking for. The process was long, taxing and overall disappointing. The first time we met with Laura, she greeted us with a bottle of champagne for our recent wedding and sat us down to learn what we were looking for. She was the first realtor we worked with to listen to our needs and then do her best to match them. And this was all just the beginning. Over the course of two years Laura tirelessly worked on our behalf, meeting us in the morning, at night, and on weekends while staying in constant communication. She walked us through every part of the house buying process and kept us informed on trends, new properties and upcoming properties. And when our desires changed, she changed right with them. By the time we found the one, Laura was amazing in preparing a competitive offer and getting us accepted. We are thrilled and we couldn't have done any of this without Laura's help. I highly recommend to anyone to work with Laura, you most certainly won't be disappointed. Please feel free to use me as a resource should you have any questions. Thank you Laura for making our housing dreams a reality. Andy
