"We just sold our house in northern Baltimore County (Parkton). Last year we sold the adjacent lot. Both of the sales were handled by Laura Nicholson. I was very impressed with her knowledge of the many details involved in sale of real estate, her responsiveness and professionalism. She really knew the market and I believe advised us well on the best pricing to sell the properties. With selling the… Read More house, she had a good idea of what kinds of fixing and upgrades made financial sense. She knows local contractors and service providers and was able to connect us with them to get the job done. She responded promptly to texts and voicemail messages. She called to follow up on matters we had discussed to make sure the projects moved forward. I found her appropriately assertive about what she felt needed to get done, but not pushy. She clearly respected our wishes at every juncture. When she took a vacation she still checked her emails frequently, but also had a colleague covering for her to help with any matters that needed local attention. I am very pleased that we found Laura." Read Less
