Laura Bertolacci

Laura Bertolacci is a phenomenal real estate professional! From the very beginning, she brought her incredible know-how, energy and integrity to the sale of our San Carlos home, and we were delighted by how her attention-to-detail made things progress so smoothly.We found Laura to be a highly effective communicator, using text, e-mail and phone calls to keep us informed all along the way. She was a good listener and always offered prompt, specific, informed and honest advice. With her extensive vendor connections, Laura was able to expedite pre-sale home inspections and brought in quality workmen who delivered on cost effective home improvements. We always felt she was as careful with our dime as with her own.Finally, Lauras professional expertise (familiarity with the local market, exceptional negotiating skills) was essential to crafting an efficient selling strategy. We were pleased to receive multiple offers and to reach our targets (price and timing). Using her extensive RE network, she was able to sell our home pre-MLS listing, even as escalating mortgage rates brought market challenges.Thanks Laura!! Great job!!

Look no further than Laura B! She's a master in her craft, an expert in the Bay Area, and a trustworthy/reliable agent and friend. Laura will make you feel like you are her only client she is working with - she is responsive, attentive and puts your best interests at front. My husband and I were selling our SF condo and buying our first home in the suburbs and we felt as easy having Laura at the helm! She helped us narrow down what we were looking for, worked within our budget, ensured she was well versed in the geographies and micro-markets we were interested in purchasing in, and help masterfully craft a strategic offer that was ultimately accepted and left us feeling like we got our new home at a price we were super comfortable and confident in. Her team and vendor relationships are super helpful too! The process of buying and selling homes in the Bay Area is stressful enough, it's critical to have someone like Laura that you can trust to lead and guide you with your best interests and budget in mind.

Settling into our new home on the East Coast, we realize just how amazing our experience working with Laura was. We were on a short timeline to sell our previous home in the Bay Area and she helped us with top resources to get all the right things done at the right time. She guided us through the process and made sure we always had our questions answered sometimes before we asked. The sales process was very logical and smooth and we felt that she always had our best interest in mind. We highly recommend Laura whether you are buying, selling or both.

I want to express our utmost appreciation for the excellent work Laura Bertolacci did to manage our recent home purchase. This is the second time in 30 years that Laura has helped us find and purchase the perfect property. She provided us with many options in the areas where we were looking to buy. Once we decided on a property the entire process of purchasing the home was seamless. Laura provided great direction on all of the steps from the offer to the closing, even helping with a few issues after the final closing. Her knowledge of the market and her familiarity with the sellers agent were key to securing our gem of a property. Laura is an outstanding agent, and we were extremely fortunate to be able to work with her again. We cant imagine a higher level of service.

Laura is hands-down the best real estate agent in the Bay Area market. As far as Im concerned, she sets the standard for everyone else. My wife and I have known Laura for several years and there is no one else I would entrust with a home sale or purchase. She has encyclopedic knowledge of the Bay Area market, unmatched familiarity with all relevant aspects of contracting and development, and extensive connections to vendors available to complete projects. She helped us find our home and guided us seamlessly through the process with responsiveness at every turn. In addition to being our representative, we consider Laura a close friend. Im extremely grateful we found her.

Our relationship with Laura began in 1990 when we saw her signs around the neighborhood and decided to contact her about listing our house for sale. And now, 32 years later, Laura is still the one we look to when we are ready to move once again. She has helped us navigate 6 sales and 6 purchases over the years, and there is no one else we would rather work with. Laura gives 100% to her clients. She is always available and quick to respond. She knows what it takes to get a home sold and knows what it takes to get an offer accepted. Shes so knowledgeable, has a great team, and is there for you every step of the way. and beyond. Thank you, Laura, for always being there when we needed you and for making our moves actually happen!

Laura is an area expert and has her finger on the pulse of the housing market. She was extremely helpful, responsive, and attentive throughout the sales process. Her access to vendors expedited the time it took to prepare the home for sale and allowed it to show its best. While the selling process can be stressful, Laura relieves as much of the burden as possible. She treats the home as if it were her own and cares about the people involved in the transaction.

I had many solid options for real estate agents and Im very happy that I selected Laura. She has an awesome team supporting her and a well-established network of get the job done on-time and on-budget contractors. See worked closely with me throughout the process and I never felt like she didnt have things well under control. Highly recommend!

Laura was the only reason we were able to get into our home. We had to move really quickly and with multiple offers on the table Laura was able to navigate the process with precision. She literally took care of everything and made a very difficult process look easy. A true professional!

Laura was my realtor on the purchase of new home in San Carlos. She did a great job!! She's local from the area, very knowledgeable on all of the neighborhoods, has a great pulse on the market, showed me numerous properties, was quick with follow up and being available. Overall great experience, couldn't recommend someone more for the Redwood City / San Carlos area.

If you're selling or buying in this ever-changing market. Look no further. Call Laura! I can highly recommend Laura as either buyer or seller's agent. She assisted me with the sale of my parent's home in Redwood Shores. I am a Realtor and have worked with many real estate brokers and agents on hundreds of transactions in San Mateo County. When it came time to sell, I asked Laura to facilitate the process. I can say with confidence that Laura is the best agent/ broker I have ever worked with. Laura has the experience and market knowledge that make her an extremely successful and effective broker/agent. I cant say enough about her professionalism and knowledge. She has high integrity and is very conscientious and tenacious, always keeping the clients best interests in mind. Laura handled all aspects of the transaction. Since I am currently out of the area. Laura had her team get the property ready to market. Got a very attractive offer and brought the transaction to a smooth and worry free close.

I am planning to leave the area soon, so I needed someone who can help me sell the house quickly. And because of Covid, I need someone who could take care of all the cleaning, repairing, and staging without me being there. It turned out Laura is the person who can do 200% of what I need! After I handed over the key, she was able to handle everything, and sold the house in a month. Thank you, Laura!

Thanks to Laura we recently closed escrow on our beautiful new home in San Mateo! Even with multiple offers on the house, Laura was able to get the deal done! We are grateful for all the hard work Laura demonstrated during our search, and for her guidance in navigating the offer process in such a competitive market. She truly made it feel easy for us, although we know its anything but easy in this market. During our home search in San Mateo, Laura was incredibly responsive, available at all times, and willing to show us properties at moments notice. She is a true expert in her understanding of the market, and leverages her strong relationships with local brokers, lenders, and contractors to help delight her clients. Laura is a great partner and resource, and we couldnt have been happier with the service she provided. We feel like we won the realtor lottery by finding Laura and would strongly recommend her to anyone on the peninsula looking to buy or sell a home.

Laura is truly a one-of-a-kind realtor. Lauras consistently best interest in serving us, as her client, along with her with wealth of resources and vendors available to complete house projects is outstanding. Laura is there for you every step along the way with expertise advice and support. Laura is the realtor you would want to work with!

Laura was a fantastic partner when we bought and sold our house in Redwood City. She is extremely knowledgeable, detailed-oriented, and resourceful. One of the things that I appreciate most about Laura is her timeliness. I could always count on Laura to communicate proactively and be open and honest. I'd highly recommend Laura to anyone thinking of buying or selling in the Bay Area.

Laura is a great sellers agent. We interviewed a few agents and were amazed at Lauras 1) her vision for how to stage the house including improvements to increase value, and 2) belief in what price we could get. When we started with her, she was a nonstop hustling machine getting everything ready to go on the market from staging to paper. When we went on the market, we got tons of traffic (Redfin said we got 3-4x the views as other houses) and within 10 days we got an offer above asking. Lastly, she shepherd the closing swiftly (we were supposed to close in 30 days, we closed a week ahead of schedule m) despite the COVID lockdown. Recommend strongly. Earned every penny of her commission

Ten years ago, Laura came through for us by helping us purchase the perfect house for our family of five in an extremely competitive market. As our kids grew up and flew the nest, and as our personal and professional goals evolved, we decided it was time to sell and relocate out of the area. Laura was again there for us every step of the way. She leveraged her deep knowledge of the local market to guide us with pricing and preparation of our home. With amazing project management prowess, she orchestrated her loyal army of A+ level contractorsinspectors, painters, handyman, landscapers, carpet installers, floor and grout refinishers, stagersto get our house turn-key ready. We were on a tight timeline, and she calmly and effectively navigated us through the entire process without a single hitch. We received multiple offers well above our asking price and could not be happier with the outcome. We wholeheartedly recommend Laura to anyone seeking a top-notch real estate professional.

Look no further! You've found the best realtor! Simply put, Laura Bertolacci is the best in the business. Her knowledge of the peninsula and connections within the market are impressive. Her and her team are fast, responsive, diligent, and they get things done. I especially loved how Laura had an amazing vendor catalog of trustworthy and high-quality companies that could help fix minor repairs on our house before we listed. I was shocked at how she was able to manage her vendors and get them to prioritize work for us. In what would usually be a stressful time, she made the whole process of selling our house a breeze. She got us top dollar for our house too, more than we expected! It doesn't stop there. After she sold our house, she also landed us our dream home! Laura was able to navigate my husband and my requirements and knew what to look for in new listings. She was open regarding issues on disclosure packets and had a good pulse on what the listing would go for. She also has outstanding connections with other realtors outside of Dwell and that is priceless when you are in this competitive market. Laura and her team were wonderful though our closing. She went above and beyond to ensure that we were happy and that the process would be seamless. We actually closed a few days early which is unheard of! Overall, Laura is a delight to work with. She works very hard for you and cares a lot for her clients!

Laura did a great job helping us sell our house. Her advice on what we needed to do to get the house ready for sale was spot-on, as was her pricing. In addition, she was incredibly responsive. Whenever I contacted her with a question or request that she do something, Laura would respond within minutes.

This is the second home sale for which we have utilized Lauras services. She was extremely responsive, offered very useful advice regarding upgrading our rental home to make it more modern and appealing, recommended vendors to upgrade, inspect and stage the home, guided us through the time-consuming disclosure and inspection processes, and helped us set a price that assured a greater than asking price in just one weekend of showing. I highly recommend Laura for her many years of experience and dedication to providing the highest level of service.

My wife and I would highly recommend Laura and her team for any real estate transaction. From start to finish, Laura ensured no detail was overlooked. She provided impactful recommendations that helped maximize the value of our home by ensuring potential buyers could appreciate the space we loved. We closed the transaction early at a higher than asking price. This was our third experience with selling a house and Laura made the process as painless as possible.

Highly Recommend hardly seems descriptive enough for Laura Bertolacci, the best Realtorby farthat we have ever worked with. Here is our story: Selling our childhood home after the passing of my mother was an emotional endeavor that could have been made exponentially more stressful if we had not chosen Laura as our Realtor. A consummate professional, she has in-depth knowledge of the real estate market and guided us through everything that was needed to achieve a successful sale. Some work on the house was required, and Laura lined up everything like clockwork. She was so patient with us three kids as we worked through the process; her superior communication skills made this much easier. During the listing period, she stayed completely on top of showingseven reaching out to other Realtors to gain insight on what buyers thought of the houseand provided frequent reports to us. After the offer was accepted, Laura kept us informed of progress every step of the way with frequent follow up and communications. From start to finish, Laura is absolutely top notch. On behalf of our entire family, we thank Laura for guiding us through the bittersweet journey of the sale of our family home. You areput simplyTHE BEST!

Very happy to highly recommend Laura as a realtor in the San Carlos and surrounding Bay Area. Laura has an in-depth knowledge of the local market and relationships with other realtors and was very effective in negotiating on our behalf. She also helped ensure the whole transaction proceeded very smoothly, with recommendations of specific mortgage and title company contacts. She then has a network of contractors, painters, and other professionals which made the process of doing some re-modelling before we moved in very easy. Overall, a great experience to work with her!

After researching all options, we chose Laura to represent the sale of our house. Laura worked extremely hard, using professional photography, sales brochures and Internet exposure plus her years of experience to sell our home in a timely fashion. We were very pleased with the results and would highly recommend Laura.

Its hard to overstate Lauras virtues as a real estate professional - but before I go any further let me just state that I dont generally write reviews as I expect competence, courtesy, and value in my daily dealings with the businesses and services whom I choose to patronize. With that said, Ive been remiss in not taking the time to write a review for Laura after so many years as she truly is extraordinary - one of the most incredible individuals I have ever had the good fortune to work with. It's high time I extoll her virtues to those of you may be reading this in search of an agent for an upcoming purchase or sale. When first looking for a real estate agent over twenty years ago, we asked a close family member, who happened to work for a large local brokerage firm, to give us the name of the best agent on the Peninsula. After polling the office, Lauras name was at the top of the list as the individual the majority of the agents would pick if they werent in the business - an agents agent is the term that was used. In the intervening years Laura has demonstrated time and again why these other agents held her in such high esteem, as she handled multiple home sales and purchase transactions for myself and several close family members over the last twenty years, the most recent of which just closed in June. This particular transaction was a bit complicated as it involved a contingent sale, two rent-backs, two relocations and pending construction. During the course of the sale, not only did Laura do her obligatory part, but as is customary for her, she went far beyond right at the outset and placed herself squarely in the middle of the entire transaction, expertly guiding all three parties through the process, all the while keeping track of every detail, deadline and contingency without missing a single beat - and I mean that in the literal sense - the deal went perfectly from beginning to end without a single hitch for anyone involved.What truly separates Laura is that she possesses a skill set encompassing every critical area necessary to successfully close a sale in a way that maximizes her clients hand - from either side of the transaction. This includes an intuitive sense honed over her career that helps drive her decision making process - she is constantly assessing the deal from different angles in an attempt to anticipate all the potential consequences of each choice. I liken her approach to that of a master chess player who is always looking several moves ahead.Her competence includes a deep knowledge base of the local market, ranging from the physical aspects of the actual homes and neighborhoods themselves to the current and historical market activities and trends. She also has an uncanny knack for pricing a home correctly on the sales side, with a specific eye on the current market conditions, knowing when to be aggressive and, equally importantly, having the foresight to avoid overestimating it as well, to prevent a home from languishing on the market.With all that said, I think what I appreciate most about Laura is that she is not intent on simply closing a deal - she truly wants to make sure that the purchase or sale of a property is in your best interest for the long term. Ive experienced this first-hand and cannot emphasize how much I appreciate it, because it can become quite difficult to step back and look at things objectively when youre in the middle making such a tremendous decision that has such a profound effect on your life. Laura clearly is up to the task and will give you a clear and grounded opinion that puts your interests above all else.I hope this review is helpful and I assure you will be able to come back here and write something very similar after having Laura assist you with your next move. And Laura, if you ever read this, thank you dearly for all your help over the years.

I had the honor to work with Laura for many years at a top producing real estate office. I was impressed at the level of caring and impeccable service. Her work ethic was amazing. She is detailed oriented and is a can do problem solver. She is so full of real estate information, plus so personable and is on the cutting edge of technology. Laura has one of the greatest support teams around to make sure your transaction goes smoothly with little effort. Laura also helped me get an amazing rental close to my office in San Carlos. Laura is one of the BEST realtors you could ask for on the SF peninsula!!!

We are totally satisfied with Laura's service. She sold our Dad's house in San Carlos in record time for more than the listing price. We were guided through the whole process and it was practically painless! Thanks again, Laura.

Laura is an experienced and reliable realtor. She handled the sale of our condo in an extremely competent and professional manner. With vast knowledge of market conditions and neighborhood history, she connected us with a buyer very quickly. Laura always had our best interests at heart and went the extra mile to make the complexities of the selling process less stressful. Laura really listens and communicates well. She quickly answered our questions and addressed our concerns. We will be forever grateful for Laura's helpfulness and highly recommend her to anyone buying or selling a home in the Redwood City, CA, area.

Laura has been my go to realtor as both seller's agent (2 properties) and buyer's agent (1 property) in the past twelve years. My recent relocation from the Bay Area to Arizona was a major move and I listed my home with Laura knowing she would take care of it as if it were her own. She knows the market, the buyers, and the best strategies. Thank you Laura for everything you do so well!

Laura Bertolacci has helped us buy and sell numerous homes. Laura is very knowledgeable and makes sure that all parties know what is going on with the transaction at all times. We have been more than pleased with Laura on every level. She goes above and beyond what she needs to do. She puts her clients first always. I would highly recommend Laura to anyone that is thinking of buying or selling their home.

I would highly recommend Laura as a real estate agent. A few years ago, Laura helped us purchase a home in Menlo Park and recently, she helped us sell a house in Redwood City. Laura is extremely knowledgeable of the housing market and is quick to offer an honest, informed opinion. When we were selling our Redwood City house, Laura went above and beyond to make sure our house looked its best and even brought over a table, chairs, and some plants to put on our front porch to improve the curb appeal. Laura was always available and very prompt in answering any questions we had. She is knowledgeable, effective, and fun to work with. Buying or selling a house can be very stressful, but having Laura on your side makes things so much easier. Youll be in very good hands!

Laura was wonderful to work with. She went "above and beyond" to prep and sell our property. Her experience, judgment, and excellent connections made all the difference. I always felt that she had our best interests as her top priority -- very professional and simply a pleasure to work with. J and J

Laura did a fantastic job in selling my house. She is a very experienced realtor that I have known for many years. Many of my friends have used Laura for both buying and selling real estate. My house was an older home that presented some problems, but she was great in helping me work through all the options. Laura was available to me whenever I needed advice or suggestions. Laura is very knowledgeable, extremely responsive and easy to work with. I highly recommend Laura Bertolacci for any of your real estate needs.

We worked with Laura both on the purchase and the subsequent sale of our San Carlos property. She is incredibly driven and knowledgeable and we always feel that she is acting on our best interest. She is also honest and direct, which we greatly appreciate. I have recommended her to several friends, acquaintances and coworkers, and the next time we need a realtor, Laura will be our only choice.

We have a been a vendor for/with Laura Bertolacci for over 11 years. Ms. Bertolacci has proven to be consistently fair, honorable, and professional at all times. She is sensitive to the value of our time and always works in an efficient, timely manner that is best for her vendors and clients. Having started and completed over 80 projects with Ms. Bertolacci, all with successful results for those involved (vendor, agent and client), it is not a coincidence that Ms. Bertolacci is involved from beginning to end in all phases, excels at marketing properties for the Sellers, and can focus responsibly on the needs of Buyers. Laura Bertolacci is the consummate real estate broker from "meet and greet" to sale/purchase.

Having not been in the home sale market for over 20+ years, i had no clue what to do, expect, what was popular, target areas, etc. Laura was recommended to me to me by someone that had recently sold her house. Laura met with me, brought with her recent house sales in the same area, did a walk through, presented her recommendations, worked with me on getting quality sub-contractors to complete the "upgrades", all the while keeping me informed of progress, coached me on what to expect, cost etc. She works very closely with the sellers agent keeping them motivated. At the end, I'm a very happy customer. Laura knows her stuff. She came highly regarded by some of the sub's I was able to talk to.

Laura went above and beyond to walk me through the process. She worked with me to ensure that I made good decisions to get a great return on investment on this property. I am planning to work with her to buy a new home and would recommend her to anyone that is looking to buy or sell a home.

I highly recommend Laura to any Peninsula home buyer or seller. Laura is a very professional, in the know, real estate agent. She has sold two houses for us over the past few years with no hassle at all. We put all of her recommendations into play and the homes sold for over asking price. She knows her stuff.

Laura is an excellent real estate agent and advocate. Her advice is sound and always accurate. Laura is able to anticipate and predict the market effectively. She sold my home way over the asking price and then proceeded to be sure we got our dream home with little stress. I have recommended Laura to others and will always consider her our family advisor on future sales and purchases.

Laura Bertolacci is a very professional agent. Laura works for her clients, Seller or Buyer, every minute.....she is always available to talk, answer questions or simply hold your hand through your transaction.Laura Bertolacci has been my agent through the sale and purchase of three properties... I would recommend her to anyone looking to find or sell real estate.

Laura Bertolacci did a fantastic job of helping us sell our house. She was with us every step of the way: getting inspections done; selecting new carpet, paint, bathroom and light fixtures; finding contractors; preparing disclosures; coordinating with the stagers; and marketing. She got us multiple offers, all over asking and we closed just three weeks after listing. We would not hesitate to recommend Laura to anyone looking to sell a house on the Peninsula.

I have known Laura for over 25 years. She helped my husband and I purchase our first home many years ago. Recently we needed assistance putting my mother's house on the market and Laura was the ultimate guide in accomplishing this task. She walked us through getting inspections, renovations and finally staging the house so beautifully. Because everything was so organized and the property was move-in ready, the house sold within a week of listing. Laura is an extraordinarily successful professional who makes the process of buying and selling a home painless. She always puts her heart into her work and makes herself available for any advice you need. She has truly perfected the art of buying and selling property. It is clear that Laura loves what she does as she achieves nothing but success in all her real estate endeavors. I will always be grateful to Laura for her expert assistance in these important matters. I highly recommend Laura for any of your real estate needs.

Laura exceeded our expectations when we decided to sell our condo in Foster City. Her advice on preparing the condo for sale greatly increased its attractiveness to buyers. She kept us informed throughout the process and achieved the best offer possible. I would heartily recommend her to anyone who is looking for an agent to sell their property.

We appreciated her patience in answering all of our questions and her vast knowledge of the local market.

This is the second time we have worked with Laura. The first time she helped us buy our home in San Carlos. Things went great that time so we engaged her for our latest transition from San Carlos to Half Moon Bay.Laura has complete knowledge of both areas, and was a professional throughout. Laura also managed to pull off a concurrent close of our sale and purchase within 24 hours of each other, quite an impressive logistics feat.I would recommend Laura to anyone who is looking for a professional that knows their business, the area and herds all the cats for you.

In my 40 years of buying and selling real estate, I have never had an agent be so thorough. Laura Bertolacci out shined them all. She was in contact with me on a daily basisgiving me updates. She had answers for every question I asked her. I know I was not her only client, but I sure felt like I was. She took all the stress out of selling our home. She is not a 5 star, but a 10 star broker! Kudos to her.

Laura is the consummate real estate professional - zero sleaze factor, zero pushy, yet detail oriented, proactive, prompt and extremely well versed in the market, market factors and conditions and exactly what it will take to get your property sold. Both my wife and I highly recommend the insight, integrity and intelligence of Laura Bertolacci.
