We knew Laura as a friend, and as people know, sometimes hiring a friend is not in the best interest of either party. Well, we couldn't have been more wrong in this case & couldn’t be more grateful! Laura truly knows the competition (as she has lived & worked in and around Gurnee/Grayslake for over 15 years. Laura is responsive, friendly & candid when need be. She guided us through the most important updates that buyers are looking for. She also has an amazing network of local contacts who are professional and fair in their pricing. If I had 10 more houses to sell, I would call Laura every time!

Thank you, Laura!!

My family and I moved out of state and had to find a home fairly quickly. We’re so fortunate to have had Laura as our realtor. She accommodated our busy schedules and was so patient with our sometimes rowdy kids. She helped us find our dream home and we couldn’t be happier. I highly recommend her for any relocations or realtor needs.

I truly enjoyed working with Laura. I had a unique request for housing and Laura searched tirelessly with me to find a home that would work for me and my family. We have developed a friendship that will be long lasting.

Laura was amazing to work with, she acted quickly, gave great advice and was sweet with our dogs (especially since they had to be home during the home
Photo session). We worked with Laura on a relocation from MD to IL, and then requested her again when we moved from IL back to MD. We highly recommend her!

Laura was absolutely pleasure to work with. She's always on top of things with quick responses. She's very experienced with what she does but not pushy at all. Really appreciate all her did to make this easy and smooth transaction. Highly recommended!

Laura is a professional who knocked out of the park with our sale. She effectively indicated what work to do to the house pre-market, has great referrals for painters & laborers. She sold my house via private network for 5% over and we never had to list on MLS

We are first time home owners and we would not be in the beautiful home we are in if it was not for Laura! She made this process less intimidating, and was there for us every step of the way. Her expertise in the area was heavily leveraged. She provided us with a large ecosystem of individuals to make the process from showings to close seamless. She truly has our best interest in mind! Would recommend Laura to anyone interested in purchasing in the area!

I recently moved back to Illinois and had the pleasure of having Laura help me find my new home. She was knowledgeable of the Lake county area and the current fluctuations within the housing market. She was open to spending time with me, quick to respond to questions, appropriately assertive with sellers/brokers, and communicated with needed parties without delays. We found my future home, she stayed with me through all the ups and downs, and was always a pleasure to work with. I would highly recommend Laura to any potential buyer or seller. You won't be disappointed.

I hired Laura Reilly to sell my mother's condo in Gurnee. She sold it in one week, got two offers and sold it for the listing price. She was awesome to work with - knowledgeable and experienced - If you are looking for a realtor in Lake County, IL look no further. This is from a retired Realtor!

When making my decision in hiring a realtor to sell my home, it was a choice between Laura Reilly and a different realtor with a large staff. I chose Laura and it was the best decision I could have made. Laura provided me with personalized and consistent attention and advice throughout the entire selling process. She was even there when the stager, that she hired, came to my home so that the three of us were all onboard about the decisions in presenting my home. She was personally available 24/7 attending to any issues that came up. I never dealt with a staff member. I believe that was one of the most important things that made a difference. Within three days, my home was under contract!! Thanks, Laura!!!

Laura was a tremendous asset during our corporate relocation home buying process. As a family that wanted to purchase before we were in the area. We discussed with Laura what we were looking for and she quickly matched us to homes that were a great fit. She took the time to investigate the houses we were really interested in and gave us real advice for each home based on what we wanted. She always steered us away from homes that just didn't check all the boxes and we are so thankful. When it came time to put in an offer together, we did everything in our control to make sure we were competitive, and it was received!

As a first time seller in Illinois Laura walked us through the process and was able to answer any question we had. Laura has a great understanding of the market and a great eye for how a home needs to look to sell at the best price. Her years of experience in negotiation are a great asset for a seller or buyer in this market. I recommend Laura Reilly for all your real estate transactions in the Lake County area.

Note: My initials are N.S. and our closing was April 04, 2022.

The sign of a positive experience is a repeat client.

We've relocated a number of times through my career and our experiences with real estate agents ranged from good to regret. Over time we honed a list of qualities that we expect from the person representing our best interests when buying / selling a house.

The list is simple; a professional real estate agent possessing empathy, patience, talent to instill reality, quick response, deep market knowledge with experience-based respect, and long standing ties to the community and industry services.

Laura met each quality and delivered results - she allowed us to forego stress and focus on at the impending move.

Upon deciding to sell our home ($600K range), Laura evaluated the property, provided clear direction for what was required to maximize value, then sat with us to review the market, and together arrived at the right listing price. It was listed that same day, Wednesday late afternoon.  The next three days saw interested, qualified potential buyers taking tours and Sunday we reviewed multiple offers. That day we accepted a bid over asking price - the closing took place seven weeks later.

Laura was our agent when we bought our home. 15 years later... see above.

I was offered a relocation by my employee. Laura was one of few relators I had interviewed and I was deeply impressed by her professional and sharpness and I did not hesitate to ask her as my listing agent. Given the unexpected pandemic, my relocation stretched to almost 2 years, but the attitudes and responses from Laura were exact the same as we talked the first day. Every time when I had a question, no matter big or small, Laura always provided her honest comments within 24 hours. When I moved out of my property, I was fully confident that Laura can handle everything. She listed my property in 10 days including all the pre-listing activities and updated me in real time and let me feel completely involved. Offer was accepted in a week. Additionally, she had strong connections in local area. When I needed any upgrades, she immediately provided me the point of contacts and all the contactors did the fantastic jobs with the reasonable price. I am so glad to have Laura as my seller realtor and highly recommend Laura to everyone who needs a realtor in the local.

Laura is fantastic. If you are looking for a realtor that is professional, has the best knowledge of the market and answers each and every question promptly, you found her.
Laura came to our house for the evaluation, gave us a good idea of market value and easy to fix ideas how to improve the appearance of the house. She brought an interior designer and with her help our house looked so fantastic, we did t want to move ;-)
Our house was under contract within 24 hours and sold for over asking price.
All credit goes to Laura and her team, who negotiated in our interest. Laura also knows the best folks around to do repairs and painting etc for reasonable pricing.
We cannot thank Laura enough for doing such a fantastic job selling our house!

Having done a lot of research up front in terms of selling options, and not wanting to pay high commissions, we put our home up for sale by owner. We received multiple offers, and even had a contract; but it fell through.

Frustrated, we decided to go with an agent. As they say, you can do it the hard way or the easy way. It doesn’t get any easier way than going with Laura Reilly. We knew the moment we met her we made the right choice.

Our home went under contract within 48 hours of listing (probably due to her staging and pictures that presented our home in the best light). She maintained a hands on approach throughout the process including being present during the home inspection and the assessor‘s review to help ensure nothing went awry that might jeopardize the sale.

Bottom line: you get what you pay for. We strongly recommend Laura for any real estate needs you are considering.

Laura was professional and knowledgeable and sold our house in 5 days! When we first met with Laura she came to the house and suggested a few things to upgrade or fix - and listening to her direction was the best thing! She made the process less stressful with her explanation of each step and guidance along the way.

We searched for a couple months for the perfect home, and we found ours thanks to Laura! We had a mishap with a seller and Laura fought hard for us and was an advocate; she did everything she could so we could see a particular home. She’s definitely a good person to have in your corner when looking for a home! Definitely deserves 5 stars!

Laura did any amazing job guiding us through the process of selling our home. She consulted with us on what we needed to do to prepare our home as well as scheduled the stager and photographer with our schedules in minds. Laura was readily available for questions regardless of the day or time. Our confidence in her abilities greatly reduced the stress we felt in our decision to downsize and relocate out of state.

I can not say enough about Laura Reilly and her amazing abilities and customer service skills when it comes to real estate. She knows absolutely every minute detail when it comes to selling your house. She went above and beyond for us- even purchasing last minute things for us to help us pass inspections as we had already moved out of state. She is very knowledgeable about the finite details in real estate and helped us over MANY hurdles! She also recommended a lawyer that handled our transaction and the the two of them went above and beyond to close the deal as it was NOT a simple case. Please take my advice - You will not go wrong when you choose Laura to sell your house!!!

It had been 22 years since we last moved and Laura made the process virtually painless. She listed our house, sold it, and helped us buy another in about 45 days. What a whirlwind but Laura was by our side throughout it all. Great experience. We'll definitely be calling on her again!

If you want an agent that really hustles for you Laura is all that and more!
We went out in 20 below weather to see the house we purchased and never once did Laura complain. Its a pleasure to work with someone with great ambition and never making you feel like your causing an imposition when your running around looking at properties. Laura is very knowledgeable about the markets she works in and very honest about where pricing should be in those markets. Whether your buying or selling its great to have an agent that will give you honest information about the market and guide you on getting your goals accomplished.
