These were our second and third transactions with Laura. She makes the process of buying and/or selling as easy and painless as possible.

She was very knowledgeable in the intricacies of each Northwestern Suburban area that we looked in and her advice was spot on.

We will definitely be utilizing her services again to sell our present property.

Thank you again!!

A perfect 10! I’ve dealt with many many realtors over the years and Laura is the very best they come. She lives in the area and has a wealth of knowledge about the market. She was straightforward, extremely helpful, punctual and meticulous throughout the entire selling process, even though we were out of state at the time. 3 other homes in the subdivision came out on the market around the same time ours did and they are still there. Ours sold over asking and closed in 2 weeks! Thank you, thank you, and thank you!

Laura is the absolute best. She helped us navigate buying a home while living out of state.
We knew nothing about the area, we just came to her with a list of wants and she got to work! Being that we were out of state, we were really counting on her to understand our priorities and give us unbiased feedback during virtual tours.

We thought we had found “the one” and we sent Laura in to tour it while my husband and I watched on FaceTime. She gave us all the facts, laid out pros and cons, and listened to our feedback.

She left that showing and started scouring for similar homes. She found a perfect comp, similarly priced, with tons of upgrades and none of the potential money pits we saw in the house we thought we loved. Because of Laura, we are in our dream home!
From there, she was ready to go with a team of best in class resources from the inspection company to closing attorney and she kept us informed and on track through the entire process.

I can’t recommend her enough!

Laura came highly recommended by a good friend, and I would happily refer her to anyone looking to buy/sell a home. She is very responsive and stays on top of the transaction every step of the way. Laura is knowledgeable, empathetic, and a great negotiator. She acts in her client's best interest and we would not hesitate to work with her again in the future.

Laura is the consummate professional - very organized and helpful - makes real estate buying and selling a breeze. She even took care of our tenant last day walkthrough as we were out of town that week on vacation. Would absolutely recommend her for any real estate needs!

Laura is a true professional and delivers what she promises. She was well prepared and not only knew exactly what needed to get done to prepare our property for sale, she was very pro-active and provided all necessary contractors. Her great eye for detail assured that all went well, even in our absence. We highly recommend you use Laura when it is your time to sell, or buy.

Seriously, Laura is the best! She was a true partner in my home search. She was an advisor and expert giving great advice on things I didn’t even know I should know. Trust her to do right by you.

Laura was an absolute dream to work with. As a first time home buyer, I had endless questions that Laura answered with depth. She is a very responsive and timely communicator, creative in her approach to helping put in offers in a competitive market, thorough with the resources she offers to her clients, and extremely professional. I honestly never imagined that the home buying process could be as seamless as it was. She has now helped my family with two different home buying/selling scenarios and I would sing her praises to anyone willing to listen!

Laura assisted us in preparing to list our home. During the process, Laura was able to easily respond to multiple complex situations that popped up and provided us options even when we didn't feel that there would be any. Laura is very professional and responsive. Our family decided not to list our home and Laura respected our decision. I would absolutely recommend Laura to anyone thinking of selling their home!

In all my years of buying and selling porperties, Laura Wenger is the best realtor I have ever worked with. She was there from start to finish and made the purchase process seamless.

We have used Laura to buy and sell two homes now and she has also helped our friends. Laura is the absolute best! She takes care of everything for you and makes the process super easy. She will advocate for you throughout the entire process and makes sure things get done right and on-time.

Laura was able to sell both of our homes within 48 hours. She has provided physical/digital staging and even cleaners at her own expense. She has also been invaluable in navigating issues found during inspection and appraisal.

I've worked with Laura twice now and will absolutely work with her again. She helped us sell and buy our last two homes, which went really smoothly thanks to her guidance and trusted process. She's very knowledgeable about the market, what to prep for, tips to make the process easier, and so forth. She's easy to talk to and communicative about expectations. So thankful to Laura for always making our home selling/purchasing a positive experience!

HAPPY all the way! Great experience. Laura took good care of us and our home. We felt stress free under her care and attention to details. Laura is a very good communicator. This is so important for us being out of State selling our home in Illinois. Thank you, Laura, and we enjoyed every minute of it. Anne and Jim

Laura was extremely professional and knowledgeable. Her attention to detail was fantastic and made the selling process less painful. She had great ideas to maximize the value of our home. As absentee owners she was diligent about checking the property in our absence. She helped find professionals to do the finishing touches necessary after the home inspection. She was definitely one of the best decisions we made in the home selling process.

I had a wonderful experience working with Laura. She was a true partner; not only was she prompt and professional, but she came informed and was incredibly patient during the entire process of buying my first home.

During the entire process, Laura was kind and helped address all of my apprehension and questions along the way—day or night. Laura was a guide to me as she stepped me through the details of my offer letter(s), answered (nearly) a 100 questions, and provided guidance throughout to make sure it was right for me.

I absolutely would ask Laura to help me in my future and would recommend her to any family/friends looking to purchase or sell their own places.

Laura does not disappoint, if you want someone who communicates, knows the market and is right on point with fighting for you, then Laura is that person. We have moved several times and Laura has been by far the best Realtor we have ever worked with. She is professional, not afraid of a challenge and she always comes with a strategic approach. Moving is stressful, and she made it easier to go through the process. Did I mention that she has a huge marketing strategy that got our house sold very quickly and reasonably? I have enjoyed getting to know Laura and she went the distance every single time. She does what she says she is going to do, and that matters when you are in a time crunch.

Laura Wenger comes with high recommendations from my husband and me. We have sold or purchased 7 properties and worked with many real estate agents, and Laura was hands down, the best. She is very accessible, assisted me in selecting carpet, paint colors, even kitchen hardware and lights! She knows the market well and also is a great listener to what was important to us. She uses a professional photographer and the booklet she put together to feature our home resulted in us receiving several competitive bids and we sold over our asking price. If you expect a lot from your agent, then contact Laura as she delivers!

Laura Wenger is the best realtor I have had the privilege to work with.
Very polished and knowledgeable about the local real estate environment, Laura is well connected in the market. Along with her exceptional people skills she has sources for any issue which may arise, plumbers, electricians, window specialist, radon contractors, legal representation - all delivering top-shelf work. Baird and Warner is lucky to have such an asset!

Laura Wenger is AWESOME - the best of the best!!! She is knowledgeable of the local market, insightful in recommending what needed to be done in order to present the best marketable property, immediately and totally responsive to all of my needs and concerns, and implemented brilliant marketing strategies. I had already moved out of state, so she scheduled, coordinated and was ever-present to ensure execution of needed repairs and renovations. As the result of her excellent skills, my property sold the same day that it was listed. I have and will continue to avidly recommend Laura to everyone I know who may be contemplating the sale of their property. I am so very grateful to have had Laura as my agent!!!

Laura helped my husband and me sell our house, and she knew exactly what to do to sell it quickly. She created a fantastic color brochure photographed by a professional. The finished product was amazing. Our house looked so good, we thought maybe we should stay and not move out! Laura did her utmost best to stage the home for open houses and create postings on the internet. Within two weeks, we had a great offer on the house, and before we knew it, the house was sold. Laura did a fantastic job. Laura has a great talent for real estate, and she's a great person. We highly recommend Laura for her expertise and professionalism. It has been a pleasure working with her. Thank you, Laura!

Laura was absolutely fantastic to work with! We had recently moved to Illinois from out of state and didn’t know anyone in the area. I found Laura at an open house and she spend quite a while with me explaining the process in Illinois and how it all works. She was extremely patient and was super reliable. She knows the area super well and saved us from several pitfalls. Without Laura we would have been totally lost. Another great thing is she is no nonsense. She won’t put up with the lender or attorney delaying the process at all. I knew from day 1 we were in the right hands.

It was a pleasure working with Laura when we sold our home. Laura was knowledgeable about the area and what we needed to do to show our home well to prospective buyers. She guided us through the process from the initial discussion on selling to staging to accepting the offer to the closing day. It was a long journey for us to get to closing day and Laura remained responsive when we had questions. We look forward to recommending Laura to our family and friends.

Above and beyond! When you are selling your home, choose someone who is incredibly successful. From start to finish, we found that success in Laura Wenger. Her advice helped us prep our home for the best possible first impression. From the amazing photos of our home, to her assistance in setting the right price, Laura is the expert. Her negotiating skills helped us secure multiple offers. When we recommended her to a condo owner, she sold it in one day! If you want a successful listing, trust Laura Wenger.

Laura was fantastic in assisting my husband and I in our home buying adventure! We actually met her at an open house and really clicked with her. She is super personable and was eager to help us find the perfect home. This was our second time buying a house, so we have had experience with other realtors, but Laura just made the experience so much more enjoyable than any of the others did. She was flexible with her schedule and was even able to get us in to see what became our house at a short notice. She always responded to emails, text messages, and phone calls right away (or within a reasonable time frame) and even helped us out after the sale was complete by ensuring we had all the information we needed (e.g. the home warranty information), since she was unable to be at the closing due to COVID-19 restrictions.

In short, you can't go wrong with Laura helping you buy (or sell) your house!

We had a great experience working with Laura! She was very available to call/text/meet whenever we needed her, and she checked in frequently so we always knew what was going on during the negotiation and underwriting stages. All of her recommendations for good companies to use worked out great too!

We had the pleasure of working with Laura on the sale of our apartment. Already during our initial meeting, it became clear to us that we were working with a true professional, caring greatly about her customers.
She came to us prepared with extensive research on both our apartment and surrounding areas, suggesting to us a reasoned potential sales price. Furthermore, following her suggestions some improvements were made, which in the end resulted in various offers over and above the asking price. She kept us continuously and completely informed during all the procedures from initial listing to closing. Given our own experiences, we highly recommend using Laura 's services for any real estate needs!

Laura was an absolute dream to work with throughout our entire home buying process. She helped us every step of the way with a difficult closing knowing exactly what to do every step of the way, no matter what came at us. She went above and beyond and I could not recommend her more. If I ever buy another house in the Chicago area I wouldn't hesitate to use her again.

I knew we were in good hands from the moment we met Laura. She has a way of making you feel like you're her most important client rather than one among many.

It's obvious that Laura is well-versed on the ins and outs of the entire real estate buying and selling process. This isn't just something she does as a side gig. She was with us every step of the way and made sure we were on track with paperwork, etc. when we made an offer on a house. The process would have been so much more work and much more stressful if we hadn't picked her as our agent.

The team she works with is absolutely incredible too. The lawyer she recommended made sure that everything was done by the book. During the closing, the seller hadn't completed some repairs that were in the contract AND hadn't vacated the property yet. Our lawyer made sure we were financially compensated for the repairs and for the time it took them to vacate the property. Any recommendation Laura makes, take it. Seriously.

I really could go on and on about how amazing Laura is both as a real estate agent and as a person. If you're even remotely considering buying or selling a property, call Laura. It'll be the best decision you've ever made.

I met Laura while looking at a property she was representing. She gave me the opportunity to explain my past home buying experience(which was a rough one) & gave me wonderful advice on what I should do! I knew then that I wanted to work with her!! Thanks to her, I now have my first home! She is friendly, honest, diligent and so knowledgeable about her subject! If you want an agent who will go the extra mile, look no further!!

We chose Laura Wenger to be our real estate agent for a lot of reasons. After interviewing quite a few agents, we felt that her experience, track record, skills, and plans to sell our home were at a top level. She was not the only one at this level, but she had two additional differentiators that drove our personal decision. She is a local resident in Palatine, where her local knowledge provided an advantage. And importantly, she has an upbeat, very comfortable personality, that fit well with us.

We made the right decision. Laura dedicated herself to our home preparation and marketing, not relying on co-workers or assistants. She was methodical. organized, and patient with us through each step. We were successful in getting a sales contract only 8 days after listing, on our second offer. The whole process from initially meeting Laura to our closing was only 3 months. As such, we highly recommend Laura Wenger, of Baird Warner.

We had a great experience working with Laura. She was very organized and on top of the selling process. Laura spent as much time as we needed explaining each step and what to expect. She was easy to reach and communicated regularly with us. I highly recommend her!

Laura spends ample time with you to determine your needs up front, then stays in touch throughout the whole process. She gives you honest opinions of your home and where the market is currently with past and curreny comps. The photographer she used did a fabulous job and Laura out together a nice packaged brochure for our home. We were shocked that our house had an offer on the first day and we just closed yesterday. Highly recommend Laura for your realty needs every step of the way. Her experience and execution is second to none!

When looking for a realtor to list our home our number one priority was someone who not only knew Palatine but knew our specific neighborhood and thus Laura Wenger was an easy choice. Laura was a perfect mix of professional and personal attributes and services. We were confident in her pricing and marketing of our home through her staging and photo shoots to keeping us up to date with follow ups to all showings and regular reviews of comps in the area to reassure us the house was priced accordingly. Her recommended contacts for other services for selling and buying a home also met her professional standards and were attentive to details and quick to follow up in the same manner as Laura

Laura provided the personal touch for our vacant property as we had already moved by prepping the house before each showing and returning later in the day to secure the property. She also went above and beyond and checked on the house during extreme weather conditions. She is not only a great realtor, she is a great neighbor and someone we both consider a good friend. Without hesitation, we would recommend Laura whether in the market to buy or sell not only in Palatine but throughout the northwest Chicago market.

"Laura is a "true" Real Estate PROFESSIONAL! She handled both the sale of our existing home and the purchase of our downsized townhome. We relied heavily on Laura from start to finish. Her extensive knowledge of the local real estate market, excellence in marketing and attention to detail all combined to provide an invaluable experience. Plus, Laura seemed to be an endless source of resources for everything from lawyers to contractors to moving companies and so on. We began our relationship by having Laura go through our home of 28 years to advise us on what we needed to do to market our home. She identified and made recommendations on repairs, improvements, decorating, and conversely what was fine left as is. Once we had our home ready to go and put it on the market, Laura had a marketing brochure created. She supervised and coordinated all the photography for the brochure and MLS listing which is the best I have ever seen for real estate marketing (and I should point out I come from a printing background). Apparently as a team we did something right because with a little luck we had competing offers on our home within 24 hours and ended up getting over our asking price. Laura was very helpful in negotiating the contracts on both the sale and purchase. Once contracts are signed, there are a lot of moving parts and Laura is exceptional at staying on top of everything, making sure it is all getting done on time. She is extremely organized and sometimes I don't know how she keeps it all straight. On the purchase side of the ledger Laura was great about trying to identify properties that fit what my wife and I were looking for and was always eager and accommodating to show us those properties. Overall Laura is extremely dedicated, responsible, well organized, professional and always has a pleasant demeanor, even when things get hairy. We give her the highest possible recommendation.
