I highly recommend Laurie for buying or selling a home! We worked with Laurie to rent a house when we first moved to the Triangle. Then she helped us buy our home in Cary. This year, she helped us sell our home as we relocated out of state. Laurie is such a pleasure to work with. She's professional, responds promptly, and is always prepared with the right information. She went absolutely above and beyond helping us make sure repairs were done on our home since we had already moved out of state. In tense situations, Laurie stays calm and professional to diffuse the situation. She's easy to communicate with and knows her stuff. I would absolutely recommend Laurie for any real estate needs in the Triangle.

There are not enough words to describe how amazing Laurie Marcey is as a realtor and as a person. Her level of professionalism, her responsiveness, and her expertise as a realtor made her an absolutely joy to work with. The circumstances surrounding our home buying process were stressful (7-9 months pregnant, plus an incredibly competitive housing market), but that did not hinder Laurie. Her promptness to requests to see potential houses as soon as they came on the market, coupled with her knowledge of the local housing market made it possible for us to find our perfect home. Laurie is persistent and does not give up until her clients find their perfect home/sell their home (she represented us for both). Should we find ourselves needing to sell or buy another home, Laurie will be our go-to girl! She is truly an outstanding realtor!

Laurie is amazing. We were friends with her before entering the home buying process and there's no one else we'd work with for buying or selling in the Triangle. She got what we were looking for, was super available for showings, and really put us at ease. During the closing process she gave us contacts with great vendors, was very knowledgeable about what would come up in an inspection and how to negotiate.

Everyone has always told me that buying a house is a bear. Fortunately, I had Laurie Marcey to help.
I came into the home buying process with absolutely zero knowledge of what buying a house actually meant. Thankfully, Laurie was there from the get go. My wife, Kim, and I met Laurie for dinner well before we were ready to actually purchase a house. We let Laurie know this up front and she was patient, informative, and attentive to our needs and wants. From the very first meeting, Kim and I knew that we were in great hands.
Laurie never pressured us but was critical in making sure Kim and I were always on track in the home buying process. Showing after showing, she learned from each previous showing to determine what we liked and disliked for future visits. When we thought we had settled on a location (where no houses were on the market) she even went as far as writing letters to the neighborhood in case anything opened up. She consistently went the extra mile.
In fact, it was this mile that got us into the home we love today. Early in the process we had mentioned a neighborhood we liked but there were no townhouses available. Even though we had said we wanted to start with a townhouse, Laurie probed us to look at a detached home in the same neighborhood. Within 3 hours of the showing, we put an offer on the house. I was able to be open and honest with Laurie about the offer, and she let me know what she did and did not think was fair. 3 days later, the house was ours!
The process didn't stop there and Laurie was on us to make sure all of our ducks were in a row. She lined up the inspections and other necessary tasks, and gave recommendations on what we should and shouldn't do. All of her connections were of the same standards as Laurie, so everything went without a hitch. By the time move in day was ready, I was confused as to why everyone said the home buying process was such a pain.
I cannot and definitely do not thank Laurie enough for the tremendous efforts she gave for Kim and me. Because of this, I never hesitate to recommend anyone even thinking about starting a home search. THANK YOU SO MUCH LAURIE!!!!

Laurie was such a pleasure to work with. She is so knowledgeable about real estate, but also very trustworthy and down-to-earth. I asked her a million questions, as this was my first time buying a home. She walked me and my husband through the process and made sure we understood each step. She really made us feel comfortable and confident in all of our choices. I absolutely loved working with her and I would recommend her to anyone!!

Laurie was extremely helpful as I searched for a home. Before we even got started she took the time to sit down and walk me through the entire house purchase process so that when the time came I would be prepared. She always responded very quickly to any inquiries I had about properties and was available at a moments notice to get me in for a showing. Once we finally made an offer, she was constantly there to provide knowledge and necessary contacts for all the purchasing tasks. She made the process very smooth and easy and I would HIGHLY recommend her as a realtor to anyone.

Laurie helped my husband and I buy our first home. She met with us within a few days of contacting her about buying a home and explained the process in detail. She answered all our questions and was very respectful, polite, and always willing to explain. Since it was our first home we had a ton of questions, and she always responded in a way that made us feel like we were important and that she had plenty of time. Laurie was quick to respond by email as well as phone. We never had any issues with communication. She kept us up to date and informed at all times. She was also very accommodating and always worked with our schedules to show us houses. Near the end of our closing process, we began to have serious issues with our mortgage company. Laurie was a huge help during that. She stayed in constant contact with us and the mortgage company and requested constant updates from them. She made sure they were doing their job and did a fantastic job of representing us. She made the entire process bearable and was a tremendous help. She is extremely knowledgeable, personable, time oriented, and reliable. My husband and I would absolutely recommend Laurie to anyone trying to buy or sell a home.

I bought my townhouse in 2006 when prices were quite high. Unfortunately, by the time I finished graduate school in 2010, the market had crashed and only had three showings in a 6 month period, so was forced into becoming a landlord from afar. Eager to change the situation, I contacted Laurie and quickly began the process of listing my first home. Within two weeks I was back in the house, armed with a detailed list of cosmetic issues to tackle to maximize impact. She recommended everything from carpet to paint colors, so we were able to make the greatest impact of our short weekend in the house to clean and update. Her choices were excellent and really fit both the flow of the house and current trends. Within six hours of listing we already had two sets of showings for that day, and two offers in hand by that night. She did an excellent job finding professionals to complete the work requested by the buyers, and met them at the house frequently since I was unable to do so. Since I live out of state, I had to sign over power of attorney to her to complete the closing. I had absolutely no concerns doing so, and the process went more smoothly than I could have imagined due to Laurie's attention to detail. My experience working with Laurie was truly outstanding, and best of all, we were able to sell for $5,000 more than I had originally planned!

We didn't have any idea what to expect when we decided to sell our (first) home of 5 years. During our first meeting with Laurie, she showed up 5-10 minutes early (a fun habit of hers we found) with a large stack of research on not only our home/neighborhood, but also the types/sizes of homes we mentioned only briefly while setting our meeting date.
By the next week, she had come by and given us a thorough list of suggestions to get our house ready to sell. It certainly paid off following her advice! Within 24 hours of listing, we had 2 offers and got several compliments about our place. Laurie didn't stop there, though. She also patiently helped us begin our search for the home of our dreams. Only a few days after accepting an offer on our first home, Laurie found the perfect place for us. Using her knowledge and research of the area, we were able to get our offer accepted within the next 24 hours. It was a crazy week for us, but Laurie was so helpful, honest and patient with my wife and I!
Basically, she did an amazing job and we will definitely be recommending her to both friends and family from now on!

Friends recommended Laurie to us after they had a great selling/buying experience with her. We had been debating on whether to buy our first home, which seemed like a daunting experience. When we met with Laurie, we knew she was the perfect realtor for our family. She outlined the home buying process and helped us determine our top priorities. Laurie had a great understanding of our needs and budget. She made the whole process feel very relaxed. Laurie was such a huge help in negotiating with the seller, having a great contractor come in to quote some repairs, and making sure our loan paperwork was coming along. The whole experience was so much better than we had anticipated and we cannot thank Laurie enough! We have already recommended her to friends and co-workers.

I had a very GREAT experience with her. Even when I didn't know what I wanted she took the time and searched until she found me the perfect place to call home. Her professionalism was great and she was very kind. I really enjoyed working with her.

Laurie was my agent during selling my first home- a daunting process especially when you have already bought another! She was very responsive and returned calls and questions immediately. I asked her everything under the sun and if she didn't have an immediate answer she found someone who did. So knowledgeable about the current housing market and understand the prices where houses will sell!
If you want an agent to go above and beyond this is your girl! She makes a personalized marketing plan for your specific house and location. When flyers run out and you have none left she comes over to restock that same day! She helped transform our cluttered cozy home into a perfect showpiece. If anyone is looking for an agent in the triangle area I highly recommend Laurie she is the best!

I was searching for an agent and was shocked that some of them didn't get back to me asap. It's such a cutthroat market! Laurie was Recommended to us through a friend, and when I emailed her, she called me back ASAP! We ended up purchasing a 1930's bungalow that was in need of desperate repair. Our home buying process was way more involved than a normal situation, and Laurie was right there EVERY step of the way. She answered her phone every time we called, she was so extremely prompt with everything it blew us away. She was so above and beyond with details that no other real estate expert would ever be. She was in constant contact with not only our sellers agent, but our bank, our contractor, etc. It was like we hardly had to do anything. After we bought our house, we decided to sell our townhouse, and she was of course amazing in those services as well. I can not praise her enough. I feel extremely lucky to have found her, and I have recommended her to everyone I know. Those that I have told to use her have also been blown away by her expertise, professionalism, and courtesy. Whether you are buying or selling (we used her for both) I can 100% guarantee you that you will be impressed with her. I would never use anyone else!!

Tackling home-buying for the first time can be very daunting. Being partnered with the right Real Estate agent is key when trying to figure out all of the ins & outs of finding, researching, evaluating, negotiating, purchasing... etc. Especially when you are planning a wedding, starting a new job, and have a zillion other things going on. Keeping up with the details is hard and so is knowing what things you need to keep track of!
We couldn't have asked for a better real estate agent or experience. Laurie was professional, diligent, patient, and honest - helping us stay on top, choose the right home, and negotiate the best (and most realistic) deal. For anyone looking for a home, I highly recommend Laurie. You can't go wrong with her. She'll be forthright with any information, she'll give you her honest opinion, and even admit when she's not certain. And when she's not certain - she knows who to ask! She's made many connections and is not afraid to follow up if she can't help you solve your dilemma. You need an answer? She follows up immediately!
Bottom line - Laurie is the way to go hands down. There is no one better to be on your side.

I wish there were more stars to give. Laurie went above and beyond what I expected from a real estate agent. She was always available to answer all my first time homebuyer questions and recommend services that were needed during the process.
