Buyer reviewI tried to contact other agents in the area on different properties with no reply or a reply from a different agent that I did not contact I even returned a few phone calls and emails and still no response Laurel even tried to help me with different properties that other agents listed that didn't respond to me

Seller reviewLaurel was easy to work with and she got the job done. It was a bit of a frenzy selling a property that was not my primary residence as the trustee of my aunt's estate it posed some challenges. I am also 8 hours away so Laurel assisted with a great amount of support from getting the house cleaned and helping find services to get things done. My cousin had worked with Laurel in the past and I trusted her recommendation and Laurel didn't disappoint.

Seller reviewWe chose Laurel Maki after talking with two other real estate agencies. As soon as Laurel started talking I knew she understood our needs and concerns. She was great to work with throughout the process and always kept us informed about what was happening. She is part real estate agent and part cheerleader. I will actually miss talking to her so often now that our house has sold.

Buyer reviewLaurel Maki was quick to respond to questions. She was knowledgeable and polite. She knows the Keweenaw area well. She was able to tell us where to be careful when doing a walk through of a home.

Buyer reviewLaurel Maki has many years of experience in real estate, and this was very helpful for answering our questions and pointing out things about places we toured. She knew what we were looking for in a home, and kept us updated on new listings, and responded promptly to our requests to see available properties. I am very happy that she was our buyer's agent, she worked hard for us to help us find the home we wanted.
