Laurie was excellent to work with as the realtor assisting me in selling our cabin of 32 years. She was responsive, realistic, and on top of all aspects required for a smooth sale. If you are looking for a reliable honest realtor, Laurie is your choice!

Over the last 12 months Laurie sold our Cabin (which she found for us 7 years prior), bought another lake place, plus sold our home in the cities. Throughout all 4 transactions Laurie was on top of everything including exercising great patience while we "decided" which place was our "perfect". We Can't thank her enough for all the excellent care, I doubt we'll ever leave, but if we did Laurie would be the first call.

Laurie was absolutely fantastic in helping me find exactly the house I was looking for. She went above and beyond the usual duties of an agent, helping me as I struggled through technical difficulties. I contacted her on a Friday and had a purchase agreement signed on Sunday. She’s dedicated to her clients, efficient, and when it’s a done deal, you feel like you’ve gained a friend. I would and have recommended her to anyone.

We recently completed our 3rd successful sale with Laurie as our realtor.
Laurie is extremely knowledgeable about all aspects of selling a property. If she doesn’t know an answer to an issue she is more than happy to research it.
She is very easy to work with and always open to our suggestions.
I would definitely recommend her to be your realtor!

Finding a relator for a property in another city was not easy but so glad we chose Laurie. She made the process easy and was extremely helpful during the process. She was willing to show us all the properties we wanted with a smile and answer all questions timely. She was easily assessable with email, phone call, and text. We honestly couldn't have asked for a better relator! She also followed up after the sale to make sure everything was good and helped with title questions, etc. She will be the one we reach out to if we need a relator in the future!

Laurie was extremely helpful in finding a home around Moose Lake, MN in a very competitive housing market. We were communicating from Iowa, but she was always on top of things and had great communication with us during the entire process of finding a home in our price range. Very professional . We will utilize her services again.

Laurie was awesome to work with. She is very knowledgeable with the Mille Lacs Lake area and helped us purchase a fantastic property. I had worked with two other realtors in the search for a lake place, she is simply the best. Very patient while we searched and went to work when we made a decision.

We have been working with Laurie for over 10 years and have completed 2 transactions as a seller and buyer. We highly recommend Laurie Simonson. What stands out to us is her experience and how over a long process, we are talking literally years, to find some property, Laurie was always there and ready. There were many highs and lows in our search during this current market, but Laurie always had a great attitude and represented our interest. She is very knowledgeable about any ‘issues’ we might encounter with various properties and in helping us avoid risk. She also took time to understand our interests and worked to narrow down possible properties to only ones we probably would like, and she was always willing to show up and look if we expressed interest. Laurie is just a good person to work with and we wouldn’t recommend any other realtor.

Laurie is AMAZING! She helped us buy and sell a house in the past few years. You can't get better than Laurie! She knows the area and the people. She goes above and beyond. We had already moved to Florida before our house sale was final and she made sure it went off without a hitch. Thank you Laurie!!!

Laurie expertly guided us through the sale of our vacation property. It was a modest property but we didn’t feel like she didn’t give it any less effort. She shows a genuine concern for her clients and we wouldn’t hesitate to contact her in the future for assistance. Excellent service is a rare commodity these days and you know when someone gives 100%

Laurie had local and regional knowledge selling lakeshore including seasonal cabins, a strong understanding of contracts, outstanding communication skills, and she did her homework with comparative market analysis's. Laurie presented our cabin honestly and highlighted all the major selling points on the listing and responded to every inquiry in a professional and timely basis. Would highly recommend Laurie if you're looking for a real estate agent you can trust.

I've been a real estate investor for over thirty years specializing in high-end and unique properties. I've always been fortunate to work with excellent agents, consummate professionals - skilled negotiators - deal makers. Agents that intuitively know how to value property and the other party in the deal, buyer or seller.

Laurie Simonson of Sandelands Realty equaled or bested all other agents I've worked with on these and other important qualities. She cared for this out-of-state transaction with honor, grace, and complete dedication to serving our needs.

Most importantly, Laurie always did what she said she was going to do when she said she would do it. She was available, very communicative, and spot on with her analysis of the real estate market.

I trust Laurie and, I believe she will impress you and earn your trust too. As you consider the many fine agents in the area I hope you meet with Laurie, I believe that you'll have the same exceptional and profitable experience that we did.

Laurie is amazing. She never hesitates to go the extra mile for you and every turn. She is extremely professional, knowledgeable and clearly takes great pride in doing her job well. I wouldn’t even think of using another realtor. Making a home purchase is one of the most stressful things you will do in life and Laurie takes much of the stress out of it for you because you know you can trust her and she has your back. Thanks Laurie!!

We had closings on 3 properties that had to be coordinated for us to purchase our new home. Laurie was the best, she was on top of every detail during this complicated process and made sure all parties were informed. We had to separate utilities and complete some well pump work, Laurie was able to help us locate contractors to get the job done in a timely manner. Laurie worked very hard for us 24/7 . We highly recommend Laurie Simonson and Sandelands Realty!
