She helped with my kiddos when there was a potty emergency, we went out to lunch together, and hope to remain close friends even after this journey. We had to come out twice while finding a home, and Laura made it so easy for us to trust her. She is so smart and knows everything there is to know. I was almost sad to not be finding houses with her anymore! Laura is THE BEST realator we've ever worked with and would use her over and over! Definitely the pick you want to go with! if you're looking for someone who has knowledge, is a joy to be around, and who is 100% commutative, Laura is definitely your choice.”

“When I first contacted Laura she got back to me right away even though she was celebrating her birthday out of town. She was very knowledgeable and helpful to us. We are first time buyers and knew nothing about buying a house. She was very patient and understanding with us. She got us through it all and we would highly recommend her to anyone looking to purchase a home. She was very friendly and fun but also serious and firm about the conditions of what needed to be done about the house and property. As she would say. "With that said". We love Laura!”

“I wouldn't change a single thing about my experience with Laura at C21. We were searching for our first home over the winter while the market was limited, and we weren't exactly sure what we even wanted. Laura did an amazing job showing us a variety of houses in different neighborhoods within our price point, and helped us really nail down our wants and needs. When the perfect house came along, she knew it was the one for us before she even showed it to us. Laura is an incredible negotiator, and secured the concessions we needed from the sellers while being fair to their needs too. She was available night and day for our questions and concerns, and has been a wealth of knowledge for us even after the sale. She also just loves her clients and what she does. Her personal goal is to get people in the homes that bring them happiness, and she lives that goal every day.”

“Laura was an awesome realtor. I was purchasing from out of state so I needed someone in the local market that understood the area and could help me find my vacation home / short term rental. Laura did an awesome job curating properties and helping me maximize my limited time. Once we found a property she went above and beyond with the process of facilitating the transaction. She helped me find an interior decorator that was amazing and did an excellent job. She even helped me with my new lawn since it was sod and I didn't have a way to water it while I was in another state. What a testament to going above and beyond! thanks for all your help Laura!!!”

“We started working with Laura because she was assigned to us through Zillow. We'd never been to Iowa, knew nothing about this area, and were relying on our realtor to help us find the perfect home. Laura went above and beyond helping us get our inspections and estimates. We felt comfortable when we were out of town because we knew we could trust Laura to help us get things done. She is super knowledgeable and was able to answer so many of our questions. Laura was very professional and helpful. She listened to what we said and helped us find what we sought. She also was a delight to work with and a fun human to interact with. She had good restaurant and bar recommendations, so much knowledge about the neighborhoods we visited, and was even friends with people in the neighborhood we bought in! Even though our broker was assigned to us, we got super lucky because she was phenomenal! We would 110% recommend Laura to our friends.”
-
“Laura was such a huge help to us on our home search mission! I met Laura at a small townhome near our old apartment for a showing and I felt there was an immediate connection with how calm and informative she was! very transparent and open about her opinions and helping to guide us in the direction we wanted. Without Laura, we wouldn't have been able to find our diamond in the rough home in the Des Moines area! Her timely responses and informative communication was ideal for any realtor! We will be 100% recommending her to anyone in the area looking for home! Anytime me and my husband had questions throughout this process, Laura was quick to answer or research until she was confident about the information she was delivering to us. She really took the initiative and lightened the burden of homebuying off our shoulders! Laura was spot on about how we needed to go about the home buying process and gave great information on what to ask our loan officer about when going through our home searches! As well as showing us some helpful websites to look into down payment assistance and home improvement Loans. So helpful!”
-
“Laura adjusted to be exactly the realtor we needed. She caught on so quickly to the way we do things (efficiently, casually, lots of communication) and we were so grateful for that. She didn't pressure us to look at more houses than we cared to, was immediately ready to put in an offer when we were, communicated with any updates, would check in even if there weren't updates, and always got back to our questions through out the entire process. Laura was an absolute dream to work with.”

“Laura was so understanding and just as excited to look at houses as we are. Laura was the best person to get a first house with and would answer any questions I had. I couldn't recommend her enough.”
-
“Laura Major is truly the best of the best! She was thorough in making sure all needs were met. She went out of her way to make sure any and all appointments were handled. Not only did she make sure we fully understood our inspection report, but she also took the initiative to help us find a resolution for repairs. Laura had all of our best interests at heart and listened to any concerns we had. Sometimes being a first-time home seller is just as nerve-wracking as being a first-time buyer, thankfully Laura kept all our feelings at ease. Our home was sold and off the market in less than 4 days!! Nothing will ever beat the experience and exceptional services she provided! 10/10 recommended calling Laura for any and all real estate needs.”
-
“Laura was absolutely amazing in helping us find our home. She used everything at her disposal to help us through every step of the process. She was relentless in finding us our new home even offering to go door to door and see if anyone was interested in selling their homes to get us what we needed and wanted. She was a great asset, therapist, team player and most definitely can pull out the stops when need be!”
-
“Anyone working with her will be treated very well and can trust her. She is friendly and actually cares about people.”
-
“Laura was very professional and honest. She helped me to purchase the house that I like and was available anytime I had questions or needed assistances.”
-
“Laura is a relatively new realtor, so she's refining her business practices. However she managed the terms of our unusual purchase competently. Her communication practices are top-notch, and I think that contributed to moving all parties to the closing table. l recommend Laura Major.”
-
“As first-time home buyers who needed a lot of guidance throughout the process, Laura was incredible. We entered the process knowing next to nothing about buying a home, and she never made us feel silly for asking questions that probably had obvious answers. Laura answered all our questions candidly and made sure we felt supported at each stage of the home buying process. She was also very patient as we looked at lots of different houses in different areas to figure out what we wanted. I'd heard that buying a house is very stressful, which made me nervous to begin the process, but Laura made it as stress-free as possible. It still took time and effort, but Laura was by our side through it all and really went above and beyond to make it relatively easy. I wholeheartedly recommend her.”

“As a first-time home buyer, I didn’t know what to expect—for anything; let alone the sort of relationship I’d want to have with my agent. Before deciding to relocate to Des Moines, I worked with one agent in the Iowa City area. Several times, this agent left me confused and feeling like maybe I wasn’t adequately prepared for the home-buying process. I was more concerned about the needs of that agent and they were with mine. The very first phone call I had with Laura, however, was entirely different. She made the point that she was there to work with me if I felt like we would be a good team, and indeed I thought we would be. I was listened to, my needs were met (often above and beyond), and Laura was both timely and receptive. My dad, who also helped guide me through the process, said to me, “I wish we had Laura when we were buying our houses.” She made closing on my first house all the more exciting. Even after the closing process, she’s been a great support, working out any remaining kinks. I love my home and plan to be here for a while, but I know that if I have the opportunity to work with an agent again, Laura will be the first person I call.”
-
“Laura sat down with us, learned about our situation and needs/desires, and helped us come up with a plan to meet that rather than just doing a cookie-cutter approach. Her personal touch to helping us specifically makes her an invaluable asset when it comes to home sales. She was always available for text or call for any questions, concerns, suggestions we had. Everything she did was to make our experience as smooth and easy as possible. Words truly cannot describe how great she was for helping us sell and I would use her again in a heartbeat if given the chance.”
