    Dear Prospective Home Sellers and BuyersIt is our pleasure to recommend Laura McKenna as a Realtor for the sale or purchase of your property. We had a complex situation involving several owners to a family home which needed to be sold. Laura meet with me early 2021, after discussing the complexity of the situation Laura confidently assured me, she was up for the work. Laura worked diligently, sending emails and making calls for months between family members prior to the listing agreement, she continued to keep all family members informed while preparing the property for sale, she was always available to answer questions or explain a process till closing day December 2021. Laura walked me through the process of cleaning, painting, underground tank removal, new septic installation and making small repairs. As an added benefit Laura takes notice of little things which make the difference such as, having windows washed prior to assembling a bright and cheerful home staging. Laura’s comprehensive understanding of the market, optimistic attitude, along with her we can get this done approach assured me daily, things will all come together. We are eternally grateful for her support, advice, knowledge, communication skills and Plain Old Hard Work! We highly recommend Laura McKenna as you Realtor. Best Regards Denise Jodice and Lisa Jodice

    As an 80 year old new widow who had lived in the house for over 50 years and had to sell I knew I would have a very difficult time preparing the house for sale.Laura not only staged the house,had her husband and friends take care of cellar and attic,and cleared out items not needed.LAURA accompanied me to look for apartment,handled application and handled any monies needed before house was sold and I was financially able to reimburse herThe house sold over asking price ,and I was able to stay in my house until apartment was available due to Laura negotiating with buyers.Can I sum up in fee words---I would have been lost without her!Laura was more than a realtor,she was a gift!!!

    Laura has got to be the hardest working realtor I have ever worked with. From preparing the house for sale till the day the house sold she was always in touch, always available should you have questions.Laura went above and beyond any realtor I've ever worked with. Her knowledge of the area and what the buyer wants is impressive. I highly recommend her.

    Laura added value from the day we met, and continually over the year-long saga of preparing and selling our 40-year family home.She began by walking us through, step-by-step, how mission impossible was indeed doable.Laura spent a couple of hours in our home, with her staging expert, and prepared for us a room-by-room document of what needed to be done to prep for sale, complete with names of people that we could call for help: Carpet remover, floor refinisher, painter, junk taker, mason, handyman, electrician, and donation centers for books and furniture.She educated us on what buyers look for today (a lot has changed since we bought our fixer-upper house), and how to maximize value - from paint colors, to decluttering, to staging. We argued with her over a lot of this ("what, paint over our beautiful natural oak window trim?"), but as the project started showing what could be, and as she earned our trust over phone calls, text messages, and talking with her knowledgeable fix-it crews, she convinced us.Laura never pressured us, always guided. Her can-do attitude, her realistic timeline planning, her asking-price setting approach ('agent opinion polling"), was confidence-building, enabling, and proved out.As we Wintered in Florida and the Spring market approached, she helped us map out final prep steps, assign tasks, plan a timeline. She - and her family - took on a good bit of the final decluttering and prep while we were away.As we readied to go to market, her attention to detail -- staging, window-wahing, deep cleaning, tasteful curb appeal prep, fresh flowers -- made our home sparkle.She led us skillfully through the selling process: offer counseling, P&S negotiating, referral to a trusted attorney, handling closing details like getting the smoke detector certicate and the final water meter reading.The bottom line: an offer over asking 3 days after listing, a helpfully negotiated P&S, and a closing in 49 days -- in an uncertain economic market!Yes, Laura added value every step of the way. And what a nice, generous person!We heartily recommend her as a listing agent.

    As first-time home buyers, we were somewhat overwhelmed going into this process. Thankfully Laura is an absolute pro, and not only had a binder full of introductory materials ready for us, but also walked us through every step of the process with candor, charm, and good humor. Laura was not afraid to tell us no, even before we would set foot in some houses. That made it all the better when we found our dream home - she was was equally eager to tell us what a great choice we made. We are endlessly grateful to Laura. We so enjoyed working with her and would recommend her to anyone.

    Laura was expert in knowing the market specific to our development, giving us guidance in setting the price, and staging the home. She had access to a team of people to help us out with certain tasks if we chose. In particular she has someone she works with regularly to strategize on staging, at no expense to us. She recommended a combination of some of our decor and some accent pieces she had access to. The pics were amazing. Highly recommend!

    We were not "dream clients"! We hadn't moved in 47 years and were buying at what was being called "the worst possible time" because of the MA housing market. Laura skillfully guided us through the process, held our hands during the disappointments that popped up, and really educated us in how to be a knowledgeable buyer. We bought our condo with confidence thanks to Laura's skill, knowledge, expertise. and patience. We are grateful.

    We have worked with Laura three times now — to buy our first home in 2016, sell that home in 2020, and to purchase our newest home in 2021. Laura’s energy and experience was helpful to work with as both first and second time homebuyers. She and her team worked quickly and tirelessly to stage our home for market, which was appreciated with two small children and being housebound during a pandemic. Laura was extremely patient and positive as we waited nearly 14 months to find the right house in a very low inventory town. Her connections with local contractors continue to be helpful to us post-transaction. Thank you, Laura!

    Laura's experience, expertise and kindness shows in every aspect of the home search and sales process. She seems to have a solution to every potential problem. She manages to de-stress both the buying and selling process. She is an excellent negotiator, which she demonstrated in helping me to get the home I wanted, without spending more than I had to, in a very competitive bidding situation. On the selling end, she presented my home beautifully, and bent over backward to help with tasks large and small. She is very savvy to the current market, while maintaining a solid work ethic and compassion for others.
