This was an estate sale, Laurie has significant experience with estate sales and knows the Oak Park market very well. She provided proper guidance and advice. She understood our needs for a quick sale, given the property was listed in early January the property went under contract within 20 days. I highly recommend her and would use her services again. Diana, Oak Park Seller Client – April 2016

The prospect of moving after so many years at my home was at times, overwhelming. Laurie Christofano convinced me it was possible to take this step, and was so helpful and calming.  She also knew how important it was that my cat accompany me to me new home and limited her search to pet-friendly buildings. She found the ideal location, close to family and shopping. Finally, Laurie recognized my need to stay within budget and in my desired area. I will recommend Ms. Christofano to friends and associates for her many skills and warm personality. Ed, Oak Park Seller & Forest Park Buyer Client—December 8, 2015

We are forever thankful for Laurie's patience being new to the home buying experience. Laurie's professionalism and honesty answering all of our questions with prompt and knowledgeable answers put us at great ease. Being first time home buyers under a time restraint, Laurie was available to show us properties that met our needs, help us narrow down a location and really make our experience buying a home an exciting adventure! Plus, she has great referrals for lenders, inspections, etc...Laurie, we can't thank you enough for helping us find our awesome home! NIC, North Aurora Buyer Client— August 24, 2015

Laurie sold our home within days. Her preparation and attention to detail was the cause for such a quick sale. She was patient with my wife and I as we learned the details of selling our first house. Laurie was easy to get a hold of and assisted promptly with our needs. We can not recommend her enough. Pete Flaherty, Oak Park Seller Client —August 4, 2015

I reached out to Laurie initially as I was impressed with how she marketed herself online. She was educational and informative, not the typical salesy approach that I despise. From helping us price our condo competitively to walking us through the entire house purchase process, Laurie was incredible and her follow up was top notch. Emails & texts were always answered promptly. Perhaps most important of all, Laurie really makes herself an advocate for her clients. At no point in either the selling or buying process did she pressure us in any way.  Bottom line: Laurie gets it. She takes good care of her clients, pays attention to the details and puts their interests first. I can't recommend Laurie highly enough. You will be well-taken care of. PS: Our condo sold right in the middle of the range she gave us on day one. She knows her market. Brian Plain, Forest Park Seller, Riverside Buyer Client —May 21, 2015

I bought 1 single family home in Oak Park (Foreclosure at auction), 1 Town home in Oak Park (Estate Sale), and a 2-Flat (Estate Sale) in Forest Park with Laurie. All these houses were great deals (Bought between 2011 and 2014) which is why I keep working with her. She is very sharp, no B.S., and has a good understanding of customer (Home Buyer) and what her customer is trying to do with the home buy. She is selling a lot of homes obviously and I wish her good luck. Atul, Investor Client — June 23, 2014

Laurie is a great agent. She was responsive every step of the way, was very patient with all our questions, and helped us know what to expect. Also, her photographer did an amazing job! Daniel, Oak Park condo seller —June 19, 2014

In the current economic environment, it is extremely difficult to find the best path for survival. Real estate is on the front line of this battle. Laurie Christofano has been an incredibly safe ship in a frightening storm. I am a single mom with two children trying to understand the best solution in a world of financial confusion. Laurie knew every detail among the options, explained all the pros and cons and was patient, thorough and dedicated to our success. In a word: brilliant! Nancy, seller in Edgebrook—November 23, 2013

Laurie is an outstanding agent. She offers a sound minded approach to selling a home, gives insightful and necessary feedback about what buyers want, and is gracious and considerate of her clients' needs. She just closed the deal on selling our house and we couldn't be more appreciative of all she did!Kathy, River Forest SFH Seller, Client — September 24, 2013

Laurie was a great fit for us, she really understood what we were looking for as far as style and price and only showed us places that fell into our desires. Being first time home buyers, Laurie was an excellent source of knowledge to help us through the process. Melissa L., Oak Park Condo Buyer Client —September 1, 2013

This year has held a lot of changes for my family, and besides the major one of having Alice, the biggest change was moving into our house. When we initially set out looking for a house in this area we used a different realtor who treated us really badly. He talked down to us and wasn't available when we needed him. He also gave us really bad advice. When recommended by a friend to call Laurie Christofano, and that she would help us. I thought about a week before I e-mailed her. Laurie was so helpful from the second we spoke. She was accommodating to our schedule, helpful, and incredibly kind. After a few weeks of looking we found our house and through weeks of back and forth paperwork, Laurie stuck with us and explained everything. She eased the mind of a scared, confused, and hormonal pregnant me. I'm so grateful for her. She was not only a great realtor, she's become a friend. :) Thanks, Laurie!! L.N.,  — Bolingbrook Buyer Client, August 30, 2013

Laurie helped my husband and I purchase our first home in May 2012. She gave us good advice as she assisted in our search, helping us find houses that met our criteria, and setting up showings when it was convenient for us. She showed us how to navigate the web listings for different properties so we were more informed buyers. On the day of the showings, Laurie had done her homework ahead of time, and came prepared with information about the listings to help us make our decisions. As we narrowed our list down, Laurie was extremely knowledgeable about the process and was always there to answer questions and help with her expertise, and offered valuable information about comparable properties in the area. Once we had decided on a house to buy, Laurie was there every step of the way, helping us get the best possible price, helping find an attorney, and working with our mortgage broker to make the numbers work for our situation. We would highly recommend Laurie to anyone looking for Clare Lund, Woodridge condo seller, Homer Glen Buyer Client— January 12, 2013

As a first time home buyer of a short sale property, Laurie not only made the process easy to understand, but she also made herself accessible consistently to answer questions and address my concerns. Without her regular communication I can only imagine how frustrating the wait could have been. Laurie's commitment to her clients is evident through her excellent understanding of her customer's needs and wants. Based on my experience with Laurie, she not only knows and understands the market, but more importantly, how best to advise her clients of changes that are occurring, and how it impacts their search for a property they may be considering. I was impressed by Laurie's invaluable work ethic, dedication and professionalism, and couldn't be more pleased with my new home! Julie C., Albany Park Buyer Client —January 4, 2013
