Laura was a stand out real estate agent. She made sure every detail was addressed. She helped guide me in the buying process and I ended up finding a fabulous place that I love. Additionally, she sold my home I was ready to move from in a quick manner keeping in mind the price I wanted and reassuring me through the process. Thank you Laura for all your many hours spent working me through the process of selling and buying.

I was very fortunate to have Laura Shively as my agent. As a first timer, I felt most fortunate because she was able to help me understand the complicity involved and I received professional guidance every step of the way.
Whether it is a person's first home or not, Laura has the knowledge, expertise and experience to make the process go smoothly.

Laura was great to work with. Very approachable and not pushy. She is very intuned to what we liked and not liked. She is honest. She did not encourage us to like things we did not like. Her personality allows her to work with families of all income levels. I would use her again and do recommend her to friends and family.

We had previously found a realtor who seemed ill informed and never did any work to find us housing options and even with the options WE found he could never put in the proper work for acceptance. When we kept getting over looked on our offers we chose to look elsewhere. I was recommended to Laura due to her being a hard worker for cases that are more difficult such as FHA. She was so proactive and went the extra mile to have us not only get accepted but close. Highly recommend her. She was awsome.

My husband Tom and I were first-time home buyers and we couldn’t have asked for a better realtor to work with than Laura. She is extremely savvy, kept us well-informed, and after finding us the house of our dreams - she did everything in her power to ensure a smooth closing. 10/10 would recommend hiring Laura to help you find the perfect home!

Laura was absolutely fantastic and I highly recommend using her expertise if you are considering selling your house. She has a terrific attitude, great ideas, and will go above and beyond the call of duty in order to sell your home. She completely knows the business and her knowledge made us feel really confident during the whole process. The fees she charges are more than fair, and she is definitely not a greedy real estate agent. It was a total pleasure to work with her. If you are considering selling in the future, call NextHome and ask for Laura's services. We were thrilled and I am sure you will be too.

It was my sincere pleasure working with Laura on the sale of my home.

My son, Archie Alimagno, recommended Laura to us so that we can purchase a home closer to his family. Laura helped us secure a home that is only 3 blocks away from my son and his family! Great job.
In terms of communication, Laura was attentive to our needs and provide us with regular updates on the homes that we were interested in. She worked tirelessly to coordinate with Loan & Title personnel so that we can get first hand information that is easily understood. The entire process was difficult for us since everything is esigning this and DocuSign that, etc., but with her help as well as my son & granddaughter we got through it. My husband and I are in our 80s and not use to this type of signing. Final thoughts. Laura was patient and understand of our needs and had an excellent team that got us through this very difficult process. Highly Recommended!

Laura did amazing! We are a family with three rambunctious kids, hoping to make a move from our starter home to a home where the three could run wild. We are not investors, just a regular family trying to compete in this wild housing market. Laura was able to get our offer accepted, despite not being the highest offer, and despite being a contingent offer. Once accepted, we were on a race to get our home listed and in contract. Laura was patient, and even came over with her team to help us get the house ready to list. Our home was in contract a few days after listing. Laura is a miracle worker.

Laura is absolutely amazing at what she does. I went through three other agents prior to Laura, and thankfully I did. The fact that I am a Veteran and a first time home buyer combined created it's own stress point, howerver Laura helped mediate the stress and made everything extremely smooth. She was always very quick to respond to my texts or calls (and trust me I text and called a lot). I could'nt be happier with her as my agent. I am still in shock that I am a homeowner. And one thing to add as a cherry on top is the fact that she helped me purchase a home in a flat out sellers market. After multiple offers shut down by the prior agents, Laura made it happen. I will forever be greatful of her sharp skills and up-beat personality.

Working with Laura was fantastic from start to finish. Throughout the process of selling our home she was not only professional, thorough, and reliable but friendly to boot. Being somewhat particular sellers, she was flexible in tailoring her marketing plan to suit our preferences, and the photographer she hired was absolutely fantastic. We would absolutely rely on Laura again for any real estate needs we may have in the future and would not hesitate in recommending her to friends and family! Top notch!!!

Laura was a great realtor. We worked with her for several weeks in an attempt to hunt down our first home. Laura answered every question we had and graciously made herself available around the clock. Without her knowledgeable expertise we wouldn’t have been able to find our new home!

Laura was AMAZING! From the start she was very determined to help our family get into our first home! We had spoken to a handful of realtors agents before meeting with Laura and they were never patient like she was. We appreciate how professional and organized she was. Her efficiency was very amazing! We were able to learn a lot from the whole experience and very happy to have done so with Laura! Anyone needing an informative and assertive and super sweet, kind realtor, she is definitely the way to go! Thank you Laura!!! We love ya! ❤️

From the very first conversation we had with Laura, we knew we wanted her to be our Agent. She was truly knowledgeable of the process and what would work best for us. Purchasing a home is probably one of the most stressful things I have ever done! She is extremely patient and will go at your pace and comfort level! It seemed like every time something were to arise; she had a solution or answer to question! She never left us hanging, always returned our call or text right away. Laura has a special way of calming nerves and will let you know if there is something you need to be concerned about. We would highly recommend Laura to family and friends!!

Laura was fantastic! She reached out before I even arrived to the area and guided me through the available properties with patience and professionalism. She was able to answer all my (many) questions both in person and through the phone. In the end, she was able to find me a beautiful apartment that was just right for me. Thank you, Laura!

Laura went above and beyond to help our family find the perfect home. We were new home buyers and she answered all of our questions and helped us navigate buying a home. We couldn’t have asked for a more perfect person to help us make this first experience special. We also have a two year old which can make home buying challenging, but not with Laura. SHE IS THE BEST!

Laura was wonderful to work with! Although the process was long she stuck it out with us to the bitter end! She was very fun to work with, there was never a dull moment! I always felt comfortable and knew we were in great hands! She was always willing to meet us when we found a house we had to see right away! And gave us recommendations for improvements on our condo we were selling. We would recommend Laura to anyone that is buying or selling a home!

I couldn’t recommend Laura enough. She was great to work with through the whole process. She was very flexible through our hectic schedules with work and a toddler. She was always on top of things and helped keep us organized. She’s very knowledgeable in everything and when she didn’t have an answer to something she was quick to figure it out. We actually enjoyed meeting her each weekend to look at houses because she’s personable and fun to work with.

Laura was an amazing agent to have. We were out of state and trying to find a place while only being able to do virtual tours. She did an awesome job of showing us everything in the houses, including how things smelled and any defects or issues. She was very straightforward and understanding of what we wanted, and also very easy to communicate with. She has gone above and beyond for the needs of our family, and in the end she found us our perfect home. We highly recommend Laura.

I could not have selected a better real estate agent than Laura Shively. From our 1st phone conversation, she worked to get to know me as a person and what I wanted in my forever home. She worked diligently and tirelessly to find a home that fit into my budget, location, and needs. She worked morning, noon, and night by texting, me, calling me, and showing properties to me. She held my hand throughout the entire process and provided emotional support, because that's the support that I needed as a 1st time home buyer. She was also my cheer leader and was genuinely excited when I crossed the finished line. I love Laura! She's so AWESOME!!!! I would recommend her to everyone!

Laura was AMAZING! She helped us sell our home and was the most helpful realtor that we have ever dealt with. She made special arrangements to assist us in our move out-of-state by contacting a realtor there to help us find a rental. She was always available, offered assistance over and above what a realtor would normally help out with and is a very nice person too! We would highly recommend her services!

Great pleasure working with Ms Laura. Honesty is at the top of her list along with friendliness/kindness, flexibility, knowledge, organization, dedication and more. Finding a home for my family was fun - frustrating at times but Ms Laura was there every step of the way keeping us informed & answering our questions. She's patient respectful and honestly cared about the needs of my family. We're happy to own our perfect home.

Laura is awesome! - down to earth, very easy to talk with and understand. She did an awesome job showing us different properties going over all the pros/cons - asking us what exactly we were looking for to ensure she could find the right properties to meet our needs! Laura stayed on top of communicating with us every step of the way, being available to answer any questions at any time.
She knows her stuff! - Laura was able to negotiate a 5,000 credit off closing cost for us!! - def recommend her to be in your corner when looking to purchase a home.
Thanks again for everything Laura

Laura did a fantastic job helping us find our home. She was honest, straightforward, and not trying to up-sell you on anything. She genuinely cares about her clients and puts in the effort to find your new home. She is very informative for new home buyers and helped me along every step of the away. She was always available for questions whenever I had them. We were able to close fast and without issue with the help of Laura! She's the best!!

Laura is an amazing realtor and an amazing person. She is patient, kind, knowledgable, flexible, and not pushy. Wether she had a place to show us, or we wanted to see one, she immediately responded, set everything up, and we never had to do anything. She's on top of everything, all the time. Laura's also flexible and often worked around our schedules. When we were ready to put in an offer (at this time remotely), she advised us so accurately that we got our dream condo although there was a lot of interest from other parties. We were able to do a facetime walkthrough and she gave us all the time we needed. During the purchase process, she handled everything and had all the contacts we needed. From local brokers / lender contacts (they beat the others we found ourselves) to inspectors to appraisers - she took care of it all and we never had to think or plan for more than a few hours or a day ahead. During closing, she was invaluable with her information and experience re. HOA's, gardeners, cleaners, repair people, A/C - ANYTHING. Bottom line, she knows what she's doing, is a local on the island, and has tons of insight and connections. Since we are remote, she was the right person for us. She and her partner Roy even went out to stores and helped us to upgrade the condo. Highly recommend Laura. She truly is the best.
