“On Laura’s website it says ‘Find your extraordinary’ - well my husband and I did- and it was not just our dream house, but Laura herself.

We started this process at the tail end of the pandemic, with some difficult to find criteria and wish lists, and with much anxiety on my part. Laura was a pleasure to talk to from our very first conversation. She was (is) patient and encouraging, warm and understanding, and really and truly listens to you and what your hopes are. And she never pressures you - ever.

As we are currently located in New York, Laura did an amazing amount of research and groundwork on our behalf. She would do remote video walkthroughs, surprise us by driving to a neighborhood in the evening to report on the noise levels (I was worried about the plane noise), one evening she researched every home that had sold with a pool in the last 10 years in a certain neighborhood so I would get an idea of what was out there, and many other efforts that went above and beyond. This is her work ethic.

When we found our dream home Laura helped and guided us through the entire process - she negotiated brilliantly with the sellers, saved us a great deal of money, was respected and liked by everyone. She is also very well connected, and was able to recommend excellent home inspectors, painters, and many other services.

She has an extensive knowledge of many aspects of real estate, including home improvement. My husband and I were amazed at her ability to talk to tradespeople about everything from HVAC systems to Door trims. She even knew the Benjamin Moore paint sample I was looking at by it’s number (“Oh that’s OC-27 - just be careful that one tends to have purple undertones!”)

And last but not least she is just a genuine and terrific human being who is a pleasure to spend time with. We wholeheartedly recommend Laura to anyone looking to buy or sell a home!”

“Laura was our realtor through most of 2022 as we purchased a new home in McLean, VA and sold a waterfront property in Alexandria, VA. In the hyper-competitive real estate market in northern Virginia, we could not have been in better hands. Laura was on top of every step of the lengthy process and had answers to even the most obscure and abstract questions. She is quietly confident, but underneath her gentle disposition is an energetic and effective representative for her clients. And she is honest and forthright, providing frank advice but with a diplomatic demeanor. We always felt she had our interests first and foremost in mind.

My wife and I were admittedly anxious as we tried to purchase a home in the red hot real estate market in McLean but Laura’s veteran real estate skills kept us reassured. She responded promptly to messages, even late in the evenings and on weekends, and doesn’t keep you waiting. She made us feel as if we were the only clients she had.

We were amazed by her knowledge of the complicated and lengthy process. She knows the real estate market inside and out, from showing to closing. Laura grew up in Alexandria and her parents were in the real estate business, and she also owns her own investment properties in Northern Virginia. With a lifetime of Northern Virginia real estate under her belt, her knowledge of local markets and neighborhoods is unbeatable. Every question we had – bids, contracts, home inspections, appraisals, earnest money, mortgage rates, titles, credit reports, VA vs. conventional loans, HOA fees, settlement, closings – Laura had an answer on the spot. We were very impressed!

In addition to her extensive experience and veteran abilities – she closed on 45 house sales or purchases in 2021! – she has mastered the IT process that supports her clients. She and her team use several online programs that keep the clients fully informed. We were never left wondering about the next step in the process nor the status of an important milestone.

After landing our dream house in McLean in April 2022, we turned our attention to selling our property in Alexandria, Virginia. The market had softened but Laura was undeterred. Full credit goes to Laura for offering multiple open houses, using her vast network of fellow realtors to get the word out, following up on inquiries, and advising us on how to optimize the property’s marketability. She worked relentlessly to get our house sold and we got the price we had hoped for in a tough market.

We bought and sold about a half dozen homes over the years and had a lot of different experiences with realtors. Without a doubt, Laura was the most competent and friendly we’ve ever worked with. We couldn’t have done it without her.”

Summary/TLDR: Laura is patient and will let you take your time to decide but she acts quickly once you’re ready to make an offer. She always answers your questions, responds promptly, and will help you before, during, and after you close.

Our story:
Laura was helpful from the minute we met her. My spouse and I are not the kind of people to make a hasty decision and she was very patient with us. We reached out to her in October 2022 when we were going to a few open houses but weren’t 100% committed to buying a home yet. She still would answer my many questions as a first-time homebuyer. We had talked to multiple realtors and decided to go with Laura because she was knowledgeable and easy to talk to. I am a control freak and she was the only realtor I felt I could trust to take control of the home-buying process.

We finally got serious about home buying and had our first showing in November. In total, we went to 9 open houses and had 6 showings with Laura. Laura made sure we knew there was a risk taking our time to decide but also respected our decision-making process.

As soon as we were ready to make an offer, she had everything ready right away. Laura adjusts her schedule to be available to you.

She helped us navigate the negotiation process to get us what we wanted and helped us understand what to expect. She helped us understand the findings during the inspection. She helped us every step of the way from the offer to closing. We placed an offer on our home in January and closed in February. She got us our dream home.

Laura helps you before, during, and after closing on your home. We’re doing some home repairs and she has come to our house to offer insight and advice. People say home buying is stressful, but it honestly wasn’t because we knew this was the home we wanted and because Laura has such a calming presence that she makes everything go smoothly. 10 out of 10, I would recommend Laura to anyone in search of a realtor.”

“Laura helped my husband and I purchase our first home this April. She was one of the most efficient and effective professionals we’ve ever had the opportunity to work with, across any industry – no competition.

We started the home-buying process thinking that it would take several weeks, if not months, given the competitiveness of the Arlington market. Going into the process, we heard horror stories of how many home buyers submitted offers on homes only to be outbid and disappointed. In our case, we hired Laura, found the right home, and closed in about a month. We submitted one offer. That was all that was needed.

From start to finish, Laura was communicative, took initiative, and coordinated every step of the process. When I said coordinated, she didn’t just explain something and say, “Good luck.” She was like a personal concierge. Do you need something? It’s taken care of (and probably already completed before you even asked).

Laura is not pushy, and she gives frank advice. She’ll tell you when a home is likely going to sell above your budget without sugarcoating it and she really understands the local market and community. When we submitted our bid, her price prediction and recommendations were spot on. When you’re not quite sure what you’re looking for, you can tell her broad statements of what you like and don’t like, and she is a master at pinpointing local neighborhoods that match your lifestyle.

Beyond just understanding the market, she understands houses. Her family runs a construction company, and that skill was extraordinarily useful when touring properties. She could point out potential money pits, and that makes all the difference in a world where waiving contingencies is the new normal. It’s been six months since we bought the home and we’ve had no surprises from what the inspector (who Laura recommended) and Laura pointed out when we bought the place.

Laura, we cannot thank you enough for all your help this year. The home has been wonderful and sorry that it took so long to leave a review – we’re making slow and steady progress on taming that backyard!”

“Laura is a fantastic partner for homebuyers in Northern Virginia. This was our second time buying a house and we had specific requirements for our next home. Despite a historically challenging market for buyers, Laura remained patient, positive, and hopeful that we would find a house to meet our needs (even when we found it very hard to be positive- she is the best cheerleader!).

We made an offer on two houses, and both were accepted. Because we didn’t want to remove contingencies, Laura guided us through the process of getting our offers accepted with contingencies. When the inspection of the first house revealed a major issue, Laura did everything she could to help us mitigate it. While we ultimately didn’t complete that purchase, Laura was able to assist us in purchasing an even better house that we truly love.

Laura went above and beyond for us, but we get the feeling that she does this for all of her clients. We greatly appreciate her professionalism, local knowledge, dedication, and the thoughtfulness she showed at every step of the process. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone.”

“I met Laura on Zoom in late January and was immediately impressed with her knowledge of the market and the selling process. Renters moved out of my childhood home in late February and Laura had the house ready to be listed by mid March after coordinating numerous contractors and staging. I accepted a generous contract offer 6 days later.

During this process, all problems that arose were solved immediately and without drama. From my perspective as a seller, this process could not have gone better. At many turns, Laura gave me options to consider, and I usually just went with her experience-based recommendation.

I highly recommend Laura as a seller’s agent. Not only did she treat my childhood home as if it were her own, but she also maximized the return for my sister and me. We will be forever grateful.”

“My husband found Laura by minor miracle after googling “best realtor in Alexandria” - reader, Google was right.

Entering the DMV real estate market in February 2022 was daunting enough, but we had the added difficulty of doing it remotely. Needless to say, we were stressed. From our first meeting over Zoom, Laura was the calm and knowledgeable presence we needed. She gave us an honest assessment of the Alexandria market and our place in it, while confidently outlining how she would help us navigate what felt like an impossible task. We spent one Saturday in Alexandria seeing three townhouses with Laura - all were in contract by the time we left on Sunday morning. As we were driving home, a house that was out of our budget, but had been on the market for longer than other comparable properties, lowered its price.

Laura called the listing agent as soon as we expressed our interest and went to see the house on our behalf first thing Monday morning, Facetiming us as she walked through. On Tuesday my husband drove back to Alexandria and toured the house with Laura. It needed some improvements, but Laura was incredibly knowledgeable about how much they would likely cost and how quickly they could be done - based on her knowledge, we were able to determine what we could reasonably afford to offer and do so with the confidence that the property would be ready by the time we moved in. Laura drafted our offer as my husband drove back. Later that night, the sellers accepted.

We were thrilled that Laura was able to negotiate a sale that was not only below the reduced asking price but also maintained nearly all of our contingencies. After we were under contract, we signed on for what we call “The Full Laura Experience.” She connected us with a great lender and home inspector, each of whom were patient with us and answered our many first-timer questions. But their patience doesn’t hold a candle to Laura, who quickly and kindly addressed all of our questions and concerns leading up to closing.

After closing, we hired a contractor Laura recommended - he promptly and affordably made the necessary improvements to the house to make it move-in ready. Her connections and knowledge are truly the only way we could have made any of this transaction work remotely.

We’re so grateful for whatever Google algorithm sent us to Laura. But Laura is so much more than her prodigious skill as a Relator. When childcare constraints meant that we had to bring our baby to the closing, Laura rocked her while we signed the papers. Among other thoughtfully curated closing gifts, she included a children’s book for our toddler, to help her understand a little more about the city she would soon call home.

Laura is a genuinely kind and trustworthy person. And she’ll get you that house.”

“I’m writing this review on behalf of my entire family. My husband and I live on the West Coast, while my elderly parents lived in Northern Virginia. Due to ongoing health issues, my parents finally decided it was time to leave their Arlington home to be closer to us. We interviewed several top-ranked real-estate agents long distance via phone. Laura was the only agent that stood-out from the crowd. She was timely, responsive, demonstrated expertise in the real estate market, and imparted an incredible amount of compassion and grace.

Laura made every effort to work with the special needs of our family and seamlessly balanced my elderly parents’ health issues with the arduous process of putting a home on the market. Her kindness and warmth allowed my mom to feel at ease at a time when I could not be there to help my family in-person.

Throughout the home-selling process, Laura’s expertise was abundantly clear. She knew exactly what needed to be done to get our home on the market, and had connections with skilled professionals like handymen, photographers, and stagers. Time was a big factor for my parents; Laura was able to put together an amazing marketing package in a relatively short period of time - all while accommodating my parents’ unique health-situation. The home sold within days and Laura was one-hundred percent our advocate during the entire bidding process.

I feel so much gratitude to Laura. She really helped our family throughout the home-selling process and did it with so much acumen and grace. I hope you have the same good fortune to work with Laura in your real-estate journey.”

“Laura Sacher is a consummate real estate pro, who is also really wonderful to work with. She made selling our condo easy, and got the job done.

At our first meeting, she was so pleasant and courteous that we immediately felt we could trust her to give the best advice, knowing what could be done realistically in the current market. She discussed the housing market in the area and gave us recommendations that would help sell our home, including minor improvements, staging and timing.

She was right; comments from prospective buyers confirmed everything she recommended.

Best of all, her plan was a success – we received multiple offers and accepted one above the asking price.

We felt very comfortable with her professional advice and owe her a huge thanks.”

“If you have the opportunity to work with Laura Sacher as your Real Estate Agent, take it!

Thanks to Laura, my wife and I were able to purchase our first home. Laura and her team helped us through every step of the process and we could not have done it without her.

Laura is professional, personable, and has the experience and connections necessary to help you into your new home.

About my experience: My wife and I were expecting a baby and looking to move to Northern Virginia from California. We found Laura online and right away she was so responsive and communicative. As first time buyers from out of state, we had so many requirements and needs throughout the process and Laura handled them all with grace and expertise.

Laura helped us to find our ideal home with a personalized search dashboard on Compass. Laura also connected us with her preferred lender, Rob, who was very knowledgeable and professional. (Rob was able to get us approved with great loan terms and also advocated for us during the offer process.)

Once we found the home, Laura took initiative to get in touch with the selling agent right away. The current market was very competitive and fortunately Laura already had a personal relationship with the selling agent and was able to help to us present the most compelling offer. In a market like this you will really appreciate having someone like Laura on your team, she knew exactly what we needed in order to make the winning offer on the house.

I know how much anxiety there can be when buying a home for the first time, especially under the current circumstances. I am so glad that we trusted Laura and took her recommendations/advice so that we could become homeowners.

Laura didn’t stop after securing our winning offer. She was instrumental in every step, all the way through closing and getting settled into our home. She organized our settlement through MBH, helped us to get a home inspection and hire contractors, and made sure we knew exactly what to do at every step. She even introduced us to our neighbors, who helped us when our moving boxes were almost left out in the rain.

I would happily recommend Laura Sacher to any of my friends or family looking to purchase a home in Northern Virginia.”

“I had such a GREAT experience working with Laura on the sale of our house! From the very first meeting she came prepared, had already completed all the market research and had a solid plan. Selling a house can be stressful but I NEVER ONCE felt stressed during this entire process and that is due to Laura being there every step of the way.

I don’t know how she does it - but I often felt so taken care of that it was hard to imagine that she had other clients...she makes everyone feel so special...and it’s genuine!

She is a straight shooter and will tell you exactly what you need to do in order to sell your house, and it worked, we were on the market for ONE DAY before it was under contract!

I cannot recommend Laura enough! If you’re even thinking about buying or selling a house - talk to Laura! You will not be disappointed.”

“Laura did a great job for us with the recent sale of our condominium in Old Town Alexandria.

She was knowledgeable about the real estate market in Alexandria and gave us solid advice about pricing the apartment and getting it ready for showings. Laura prepared a very professional listing, with excellent photography, that showed the apartment at its best online. She communicated well with other real estate agents and hosted several open houses to be sure that potential buyers were able to see the condominium.

After the purchase contract was completed, Laura shepherded us through the closing formalities and had good advice on movers and all of the other departure details.

Most important, Laura stayed in regular communication with us – keeping us informed and answering our questions throughout the listing, sale and closing process.

Laura was a pleasure to work with and we highly recommend her as a real estate professional.”

“Laura is a high touch realtor from start to finish. She understands the local market well enough to make very accurate predictions and she really puts in the work to make those high expectations come to fruition.

Going with Laura paid off - we sold our house for significantly more than we anticipated and she was thorough, well organized, communicated well, and a was pleasure to work with the entire way.”

“Professional + easy to work with = Stress free Experience.

The short TL/DR version is that my experience buying a home with Laura was a genuine five star experience. Laura fiercely worked on my behalf, and she single handily made the experience stress free. I personally would consider her services again and I certainly would recommend her to anyone/everyone.

The longer version and full disclosure is that I initially approached this purchase as an agent-free buyer. Admittedly, as a first time buyer, I believed I did not need an agent, and I believed I was completely capable of buying on my own. Laura quickly changed my opinion. She didn’t show me I was incapable, but rather, she showed me the added value she brings to process.

Laura brings a high level of work ethic every day. Again, this was my first real estate transaction so I am not able to opine on realtors in general, however, I can confidently state that she works hard for you, and she goes above & beyond the norms. This was impressive, and the level of excellence she brings is uncommon (not just in the real estate industry).

In addition to a strong work ethic, Laura also delivers a strong work product. She articulates potential issues requiring your decision, while also providing pros & cons to choices you may consider when deciding. In general, she provides prompt and clear responses for any questions or concerns you may have.

Again, Laura truly brings an exceptional experience and service for your real estate dealings. I strongly recommend.”

“We were able to close on a phenomenal house in the middle of the hottest market the area had seen in some time. My family is very happy with the home and we have Laura to thank for that.

It had been several years since our last home purchase. Admittedly, we were out of practice and intimidated at the process of buying in a new area during COVID. Laura was always quick to respond, advise, and walk us through virtually when needed. Her guidance was key to our offer being accepted over many other quality offers.

Following acceptance, the anxiety induced by navigating the underwriting and closing process was alleviated by her steady and reliable communication over a host of media. She was always accessible and ready to provide insight when it was most needed.

We selected Laura based on her proximity to where we wanted to buy and many outstanding reviews online, specifically those that noted her proactive negotiation posture. We were rewarded with the purchase of a fantastic home that was exactly what we were looking for. I hope I can return the favor with this review.

More than any other person throughout the entire process, Laura was the most essential. Her natural grace and professionalism are exceptional.”

“We used Laura to both buy and sell, and the experience couldn’t have been better. We shopped around for realtors, and we knew before the initial meeting with Laura had concluded that we could confidently end our search and go with her. And man, did that choice pay off.

Not only was Laura extremely patient with the million questions we had about, well, everything, she was also extremely responsive to our shifting needs. We went from shopping in Huntington to Van Dorn to Del Ray to Old Town, and she never batted an eye and kept showing us great properties within each new neighborhood we targeted.

Additionally, her knowledge of the area was a huge benefit for us. We relocated within the past few years, and still don’t feel confident about the ins and outs of every location in NoVa. Working with Laura was really useful because she *did* know those ins and outs and was happy to spend time simply chatting about each neighborhood in question.

Another big benefit of using Laura was her network of contractors, and her willingness to give ballpark ranges for renovation costs. We of course would never hold her to hard estimates, but having a framework to wrap our mind around regarding what a specific renovation might cost when we were viewing a home was really useful and some realtors hesitate to give those ballpark figures.

Lastly, one other thing I will mention is that Laura, in our experience, was an aggressive negotiator who wins. If you want the property, she will help you write the offer it will take to win the property. That’s pretty important in the NoVa area where you’re often guaranteed to be in a bidding war. We ended up having the second offer we submitted accepted.

All in all, I can’t recommend Laura highly enough, and we will certainly be using her again for our next real estate transaction.”

“It would be impossible to describe how POSITIVE of an experience it was to work with Laura! Everything went soooooo smoothly from start to finish and Laura was that driver for us! She always made us feel like her #1 priority even though we knew she was busy with other clients: she made time for us on-a-dime, was always present, and was incredible good at scheduling around all of our busy schedules.

Laura provided us (first-time home buyers) with an incredible wealth of knowledge and advice when we requested and had great insights. She also has an extensive personal network that helped us start our lender search, find a day-of home inspector, and contractors to help us get started on our new-home projects.

She understood our home buying strategy, and helped us get our dream house on our FIRST offer! Her advice and guidance was instrumental in us landing the house we had our hearts set on! We will work with Laura again for any future home purchase. I would recommend Laura to any and EVERYONE!”

“I recently engaged Laura to help sell a condo in Northern Virginia. Being a first-time seller, I was not entirely sure what to expect but Laura made the whole process extremely easy.

From start to finish, the sale could not have gone any smoother. For starters, she was able to leverage her relationships with local contractors to help us make a few necessary repairs at a great rate.

Even with the repairs, she got the condo on the market very quickly after we started working with her and we ultimately got multiple offers above the listing price one day after going to market.

After we accepted an offer, she was in frequent communication with the buyer’s realtor and lender to make sure everything went through smoothly.

She is great at communicating with you through every step of the process and is always willing to answer any question.

One thing I really appreciate about Laura’s communication style is that she states her opinion and lays out the pros and cons of different options but is not pushy. I can highly recommend her to anyone buying or selling in the area.”

“The best decision I made as a first-time home buyer in the competitive Arlington market was obtaining Laura as my agent! I really appreciated her ability to comprehensively answer my questions and advise me throughout the process. I was very impressed with her ability to anticipate my concerns and priorities, which made the entire process really smooth and pleasant.

She strategically guided me through the home-buying process in a highly competitive market, and thanks to her expertise I was able to find an ideal home in a prime location at a great price in pre-market deal. I didn’t know that was possible in Arlington, but with Laura as my agent it was!”

““I am not one to write reviews but feel compelled to do this one as Laura blew me away with her expertise in negotiating an amazing price for my house, managing multiple repair and upgrade projects like a professional project manager, dealing with the sensitivity of renters who were still living in my home and acting on my behalf when I was not in the area.

She is so good as well as kind but tough and goes above and beyond ten times over. I can say with confidence that you will be thrilled with the process and results if you engage Laura to represent you. “”

“Laura was everything we could have hoped for in an agent. We started looking for a real estate agent in August 2020, with the intent of moving from the west coast to Virginia. It was a little scary thinking about buying a home remotely (let alone buying our first home!), but Laura made the process so easy. She was always prompt and professional in her communication, while also being personable. Her knowledge, not just of the local housing market, but also of construction, made us feel at ease immediately. We knew we could trust her insight on the houses we saw.

Laura never pushed or tried to sell us on anything. She was open and honest about the unique advantages and disadvantages of every home we toured. We felt that she understood what we wanted, and helped us find exactly what we were looking for, and negotiated well with the seller’s agent. We would not be in our new home without her - highly recommend!”

“Laura was amazing to work with for both buying our new home in spring of 2021 and then fixing up and selling our condo once we moved out. She was patient, attentive, responsive, caring… Can I say again: Patient, and responsive?!? We had so many questions and changed our minds on so many things throughout each step of the way but Laura was always willing to thoughtfully discuss pros/cons of each choice we came to.

She works with clients both buying and selling and is able to pick up nuanced market trends through this exposure. On top of that she has proved to be incredibly connected and knowledgeable for all things home-related (contractors & other related servicers, etc.) even continuing to be helpful after our active transactions have finished. Laura is an all-around good person who I believe truly cares about getting her clients into a home that meets their needs in the best way possible.

I’m not surprised at all to see so many similar experiences shared here from other clients. Would recommend Laura to anyone!”

“We had a great experience working with Laura to buy our first home, a townhouse in Alexandria. She was warm and friendly and immediately put us at ease with how communicative she was. We saw about five places with her, and she was always very knowledgeable about the neighborhoods, structural issues to consider, and small details such as finishings and appliances. We never felt like any question was too trivial or irrelevant, or that our concerns were dismissed. We had a pretty clear idea of what we were looking for, and she shared helpful insights when it came to ideas on how to make a space work, but was never at all pushy.

Since we were buying during the craziness of COVID, we only saw places with Laura, and avoided open houses. It was important that we all stay masked, and Laura was great about that. COVID has also really affected the market this year, and Laura guided us through the different trends and price increases, comps, and what strategies we would need as buyers in such a competitive market. We found our dream home fairly quickly, and went into the bidding process well-informed to Laura’s expert advice, which made the process less nerve-wracking. She created an offer that she felt was both competitive and was still within our comfort zone and submitted it quickly, and then stayed in close communication with us throughout the process, providing updates and checking up on us even when there wasn’t any news. Even though there was a higher offer, the sellers ended up accepting ours, and Laura was the reason why. Laura helped to coordinate the rest of the process so that everything went smoothly, and worked with us every step of the way. Even after we closed on our home and moved in, she has continued to help us with follow up inspections and maintenance issues, and helped us find contractors to work on various tasks throughout the house.

We’re so glad we chose Laura, and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a real estate agent in Northern Virginia.”

“I recently used Laura as my agent for the sale of my house in Alexandria. In a word, she was outstanding! She made excellent suggestions for getting the house ready for sale. She coordinated some painters and other contractors when I had to be out of town.

She was very thorough in her marketing approach. As a result, my first open house was a big success and I received four great offers that weekend. Laura then helped me through the inspection process and was always available to coordinate the remaining work that was needed to close, as I was out of town again. The closing then went smoothly.

Laura is great to work with and works very hard to get the job done. I highly recommend her.”

“We sold our home through Laura late January, the process was amazing . Laura was so professional, patient and answered every question we had. She prioritized us and communicated everything was going on through the process of selling.

Laura deserves more than 5 stars! Thank you Laura we are so appreciative of everything you’ve done.”

“Best agent hands down in the Northern VA area and I’ve dealt with many from other companies that don’t come anywhere close to Laura. She will go above and beyond to make sure her customers are satisfied. It was clear that she was invested in customer care, and her tenacity to get the best negotiation possible was impressive.

Her personality is positive, despite any setback encountered and she is approachable and likeable immediately which is an important quality to have during this process. She always seemed available day or night and made the first time home buying experience smooth and reassuring.

All of my first time home buying questions were answered and I wouldn’t want any other realtor by my side during the normal stressors of purchasing a home. I will definitely be calling upon her when I sell my home.”

“Have you ever changed jobs and moved across country during a pandemic – including selling the house you were living in and buying a new one in Alexandria, VA? Is this something you would ever even consider during of all things – a pandemic? Well, I did! And while this sounds like it should be something to avoid – I was fortunate enough to be referred to Laura by my realtor in Nevada. From my first call with Laura, I knew she was the one I was using. Her upbeat personality was a perfect match to mine and I knew the minute I told her what I was looking for, I was in the most capable hands possible to handle the heavy lift of finding my new home.

Oh, and I did I mention we did all of this virtually? Within a couple weeks Laura was walking me through a condo (I was on the other end of the video call) and a week later my offer was accepted. Did I mention I never stepped foot in the property (and was over 3,000 miles away)?

You may think that is crazy – but with Laura running point for me in this process I had zero concerns. She would even go back into the condo (on a couple occasions) to grab some measurements for me as I was in the process of packing and deciding what was coming with me and what was getting sold.

She really made the move across country the most seamless process. When I finally got to meet Laura in person and see the condo for the first time – it was 100% as expected. She is wonderful and the condo is exactly what I wanted!

You cannot go wrong with Laura as your realtor!! From start to finish she was the perfect choice to handle this endeavor and I could not be more grateful to her for her help and support.”

“ My wife and I had planned to sell our home and purchase a new one in Spring 2022 since we are expecting baby number two in November and were nervous to buy with the hot housing market. However, we saw a home “coming soon” in the neighborhood we had been watching and called Laura to see if it would be possible to go for it. With confidence, Laura immediately stepped up to the challenge, helped us stage our home for photos and an open house, secured us a contract on our dream home, and sold our former home. From the initial call to Laura, to final closing, the process was all wrapped up within 6 weeks.

Laura is incredibly knowledgeable, has an excellent sense of market conditions, and is very thoughtful when communicating with her clients. She made sure we felt secure and informed in our decisions every step of the way. My wife and I couldn’t recommend Laura highly enough – she truly is a one-of-a-kind agent who keeps her clients best interests in mind and has the energy and confidence to turn what may seem like an improbable dream to reality. Give her a call if you are looking to buy and/or sell!”

“We moved into our wonderful first home a month ago. Laura was phenomenal; she really helped us navigate the process as first time home buyers.

Laura was extremely patient, professional and always there to help with ANY questions we had during the process. Purchasing a home during a pandemic with heavy competition was very challenging, but Laura’s expertise and guidance is why we were able to close on our dream home - we couldn’t have done it without her!

We truly recommend working with Laura — for those that need to find their new home, and especially those who are going through the process for the first time. Thank you again, Laura!”

“Laura Sacher is the best real estate agent anyone could hope for. She made me feel comfortable and confident throughout the home buying experience. She worked through everything that came up and kept me in the loop. I was so lucky to have her assistance through this process. I cannot sing her praises enough! If you are trying to buy or sell your house, there is no one else I would go to.”

“I had a wonderful experience selling my home with Laura as my real estate agent. As stressful as the time can be, she gave great advice and provided a calming influence whenever I started to feel overwhelmed.

She took care of many details so I didn’t have to worry about them, and kept me informed every step of the way with market information, potential buyers, and finally with all the paperwork required when a contract is written and a home sold.

I highly recommend Laura!

As a bonus, I also liked that she involves her whole family in Operation Paws!”

“If you are looking to buy or sell a home, I cannot recommend Laura enough.

She helped my husband and I patiently look at homes to find us the perfect fit. She is a communication queen and very organized, always making sure we knew what was going on, explaining the nuances of writing offers, and making us feel connected to all parties involved in the process.

Since Laura has family in the construction business, and years of experience, she not only pointed out potential problems throughout homes we were looking at, but she is still my go to when I need a electrician, plumber or handyman referral.

I am extremely thankful we found the best realtor in the area, and plan to use Laura for any real estate needs in the future!”

“Laura not only met but exceeded all of our expectations. Her knowledge of the market and ability to research fair/comparable prices as a buyer’s agent was exactly what we needed.

Laura was available to answer all our questions, walked us through important dates and time sensitive documents, and made the overall home-buying process an easy transaction. We highly recommend her!”

“Laura was absolutely wonderful, helpful and knowledgeable and a very nice and professional person. I enjoyed working with her and her wonderful personality made the home buying experience less stressful. Our transactions went very smooth and there was minimal stress or misunderstandings.

I really liked her sharp focus on what I was looking for and her get up and go attitude! She is absolutely an asset and made this first time home buyer experience a pleasure! She really went out of her way and beyond the call of duty to ensure I understood everything and got the home I wanted. Thanks so much!”

“Laura is, by far, the best realtor I have ever worked with. I’m an active duty Marine and I have moved my family many, many times and worked with close to a dozen realtors. Most have been fine, but Laura has gone so far above and beyond to help me and my family.

She helped us narrow down a list of places, including sending me video footage of properties. She scheduled times to visit properties, answered all of my questions, and took care of applications, negotiations, utilities, questions with the landlord, and on and on. She is a native of the D.C. area (which is actually rare) and knows the traffic, the neighborhoods, the schools, and the market overall.

She is also warm and personable and replies almost instantly to every question or concern you could have. I simply cannot recommend her highly enough. Whether you are buying, selling, or renting, Laura should absolutely be your first choice.”

“Laura was a phenomenal realtor who helped us purchase our home in our desired area. She was personable, professional, and went the extra mile with every encounter. I first connected with Laura on a Friday morning, and the next Monday our offer was accepted on our first choice home.

She made the process so smooth and enjoyable and was very knowledgeable of the market and neighborhood. We can’t thank her enough for helping us with our relocation to be closer to family!

Highly recommend to anyone looking for a trustworthy, accountable and caring realtor!”

“Working with Laura was a true privilege! We moved from FL to VA and Laura was quite helpful in what was a very stressful remote search situation—we felt blessed and safe to have her guidance and help. Laura listened to all of our needs and made sure to remember the smallest details we discussed. She continuously advised us on new finds and was very quick to move our applications forward. Laura was quite knowledgeable of the area and discussed with us the advantages and disadvantages of different neighborhoods.

She is simply excellent professional, who is highly punctual, responsive, and all in all quite impressive to see work! We can’t wait to work with her on our next real estate venture. We would recommend her to our closest friends and family!”

“Laura is very detail-oriented and thorough, as well as responsive to her clients. She responded to dozens of various questions we had, usually within minutes, helping us greatly to understand the process as first-time homebuyers.

She helped us to bid successfully without putting too much pressure on us.

Her assistance did not end after we closed. Since we are out-of-state, she helped with various errands and connections to make the move-in easier.”

“When we bought our home, Laura was very knowledgeable of the area and worked diligently to provide us with feedback and help in all areas. She was flexible, considerate, and responsive from start to finish - to include getting our first offer through inspection to settlement. Her guidance and support made the home buying process go as smoothly as possible.

She is a pleasure to work with and we couldn’t have been more pleased with our house and dealing with such an honest, bright and friendly realtor like Ms. Sacher!”

“I cannot say enough about how amazing Laura is. This was our first time purchasing a home in the area and she was knowledgeable, patient and helped guide us through the entire process.

She quickly responded to our countless texts and phone calls (at all hours) and she strategically positioned us to purchase our forever home in a very competitive market.

Her support did not end with the closing paperwork- she has been a valuable resource for vendors and local needs. We truly appreciate Laura for her time, expertise and patience.”

“When we thought about selling our cherished first home, we could only picture Laura—the wonderful person who originally helped us buy our first home—to experience this exciting chapter with, again. Laura did not disappoint, and in fact, she exceeded our expectations and then some!

We couldn’t have done any of this without her and couldn’t imagine it any other way.

Laura—
Thank you, from the bottom of our hearts, for giving us the gift of working with you! We always left each conversation feeling at ease, in high spirits, and our face and stomachs aching from grinning and laughing so hard! Such an unforgettable experience that we will cherish forever.

If you’re looking for a knowledgeable real estate agent who is well-versed in all types of scenarios and someone who will look out for you in all aspects, she’ll be there in a pinch!”

“Laura is very experienced with the Northern Virginia real estate market. She is very analytical in her assessments, honest in her input, and is very patient, thoughtful and considerate with her clients, offering valuable advice and insights.

Despite me being out of the country and despite several hiccups on the way, the home purchase experience went very smoothly largely in part due to Laura`s calm and confident guidance.”

“Laura was really great to have by my side for my first home purchase! She was always available for questions and explained everything and anything I had questions about. When I found the place I wanted to place an offer on, she was quick with comps and had the offer ready immediately to ensure I got the place. From offer to closing, she provided me with a calendar of what to expect and what to do in preparation for my closing and move. I highly recommend!! Thank you, Laura!”

“Laura was so helpful during our quest to find a new home. The process was so stressful since we were moving from the west coast to the east and she made it so easy, so organized, steamless.

We were able to find a home during our 5 day stay. We saw over 40 homes with a toddler and she was so patient and honest during the whole process!”

“I give Laura my highest recommendation. Laura possesses all the attributes necessary to be an excellent agent. She knows her market extremely well, she is diligent, responsive, and yet very patient with her clients. Laura is both very professional and personable. She clearly takes pride in doing a good job.

In my particular case, as a diplomat living overseas, she was my eyes and ears on the ground in Washington, D.C. She helped us find the exact neighborhood our family needed. Her patience to find just the right fit for us goes unmatched by other brokers in similar markets. She was always eager to check out one more listing or take additional photos to help us visualize a property from a far.

It would be hard to envision someone doing a better job than Laura or being anything but happy in choosing to work with her. We are currently living overseas once again and when the time comes to relocate back to Washington, D.C. I will seek her out because I have full confidence in her skills and judgment and the best ones are worth keeping for life!”

“I listed my townhouse for rent with Laura. I realize that rentals are not the most lucrative for agents, but Laura treated this transaction like it was the most important priority in her day.

She captured the best features of the home in beautiful pictures and a description that interested our future renter. We had numerous showings within a day of the listing and the future renters signed up the first weekend. She cheerfully spent considerable time on this listing”

“Laura was very helpful in selling my condo, holding open houses and marketing it until it had a sale. She was very well informed and helpful and got me top dollar.”

“My family was relocating from out of town and we could only make 1 trip to view rentals in Alexandria. We contacted Laura a few weeks in advance and she responded right away and started sending us listings that met our criteria. She efficiently set up the showings and she even added a couple more day of!

Throughout the process, Laura was fantastic to work with! She is extremely knowledgeable about the greater Alexandria market and I would recommend her to anyone looking to buy, sell, or rent a home.

She dedicated many hours to us finding the perfect home that suited our needs as a family. Her negotiating skills are incredible, she even helped us save money. She is always able to be reached by email/phone/text.

We really struck gold with Laura, and now consider her a friend. We love our home! Contact Laura for your real estate needs!”

“I was fortunate enough to locate her through a Zillow listing. It has been a wonderful experience working with her. She is punctual, accurate, pleasant to work with, well informed, and extremely easy to communicate with.

She has also anticipated my needs in accessing resources necessary to move to a new state.”

“Being in home finance, I have seen Laura work with a number of mutual clients in finding and guiding them through the process of buying their new home. I have worked in the NOVA lending industry for 15 years and have seen how hundreds of real estate agents work with clients and conduct themselves. I can tell you without a doubt that Laura’s attention to detail and super high level of care that she gives to clients is best in business and differentiates her from the rest. She knows the market well and also knows how to navigate through the process to produce great results for her clients. You are missing out if you don’t work with Laura on your next home sale or purchase!”

“Laura is incredibly personable and approachable. She is a true advocate for her clients and fights for their best interests. A true professional, Laura is smart, creative and talented at navigating clients specific needs to help get them home! Laura is fantastic at what she does!”
