Laura Byther

  • Laura listed and sold my home

      I've worked with Laura for almost 20 years now. With our last purchase, which was VERY difficult for many reasons (related to the seller), of course she was great DURING the transaction. However, after we had closed and continued to have many difficulties and complications, she has continued to work with us to try and get things resolved. She didn't (and never would) abandon us after the sale. She genuinely wants us to be happy in our new home and is still working to make that happen. We deeply appreciate all of the help and guidance she has given and continues to give us. Thanks, Laura!

    • Laura helped me buy a home

        Our first impression of Laura was her quick response (less than 5 minutes) to an inquiry we made online. Representing us as a buyers’ agent, her answers to our many questions were always timely. She kept all appointments as scheduled. The fact that we were long distance buyers showed us her flexibility. She worked with our daughter on site until we were able to travel to Portland. Most important to us is that she represented our best interests at all times—not letting us sign anything that would have reduced our rights as buyers. She explained everything to us so we understood everything we signed. Beyond helping us buy a house, she made us feel comfortable moving to a community she obviously loves.

      • Laura listed and sold my home

          I will be using Laura from now on for real estate transactions in Maine! She brings 30 years of experience and a breadth of knowledge that I have not experienced with others in this field. I had a large, atypical property to sell, and it took some creative selling and marketing to get this done. Laura is calm, cool and collected, no matter what issues crop up, and makes what is often a stress filled experience feel so much smoother!! Thank you Laura!!

        • Laura helped me buy a home

            I just moved into a gorgeous condo that Laura helped us find, negotiate and close on. Laura took the time to understand our needs, our budget and our timeframe. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her for your realtor needs!

          • Laura helped me buy a home

              We loved working with Laura! We were first time home buyers and she made the whole process go so smoothly for us. We got our first offer on a home accepted which was amazing. She recommended great people to fill services along the way (like our home inspector and mortgage broker) and had excellent communication with them. We were not in the area when we put in our offer but she was able to accommodate that by giving us a FaceTime tour. Throughout the home buying process, we felt listened to by Laura and we trusted her advice and that she knew what we wanted.

            • Laura listed and sold my home

                Laura was great to work with. She kept us informed during the whole process. She was very positive and great to work with.

              • Laura helped me buy a home

                  Laura represented us as a selling agent for our condo and a buying agent for purchasing a new residence using a contingency offer. It was a pleasure working with her on both sides as she understands the local market and has many years of experience. Laura was always available for questions and for keeping us up to date. She was proactive in negotiating an extension that was vital to the purchase of the property. We are grateful that the overall process went smoothly.

                • Laura listed and sold my home

                    Laura was great and we would recommend her in a heart beat to all our friends and family. She gets the job done!!!

                  • Laura listed and sold my home

                      I was very fortunate to have Laura Byther as my selling agent. Since I was an inexperienced first-time seller with a complicated situation, I came into the situation nervous and not knowing what to expect. Laura immediately put me at ease with her vast knowledge of the real estate market cultivated through years of experience in the industry. She was able to explain things in clear, practical terms that even a novice like me could understand. As a realtor (and as a person), she is energetic, enthusiastic, and honest... such a rare combination! Through each step of the process, Laura was quick to answer my many questions and even offer moral support as needed. In the end, I was amazed by how quickly and smoothly the negotiation and sale went, and I will always be grateful for all her help, professionalism, and kindness. Highly recommended for both buyers and sellers!

                    • Laura listed and sold my home

                        If your selling your home don’t make your first mistake , hire Laura. Then don’t make your second mistake, hire Laura. Get my point, hire Laura you can’t go wrong.

                      • Laura has extensive experience and superior communication skills. Not only did she navigate a tricky sale with ease but she also had the patience to talk me through the emotional journey. Her tenacity and her knowledge of the market are impressive. I am not easily impressed but she was awesome. I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND choosing Laura to represent you. You will be as glad you did as I was.

                        - Alison Hoar, Sebago
                      • You are by far the most responsive, helpful & knowledgeable realtor I know.

                        - Paula Saccuzzo
                      • Laura helped us buy our first house - a beautiful house in one of our preferred towns after a long search in an very tough market. She was very patient with us as we looked at many places and she always put our interests first.Laura is really knowledgeable about real estate, and we had many questions since we were first time buyers. She went above and beyond to help address all of our questions about each property - and we asked a lot!We went past the point when other agents might have given up, but she never gave up and finally helped us buy an awesome house! We beat out multiple other offers in a short deadline. Also, Laura is just a really nice person and a pleasure to work with! We are very grateful.

                        - Will L'Hommedieu & Rae LaPlace, Bath
                      • I spent over a year looking for a home to buy before I sold my house, as my girlfriend and I were looking to combine houses and animals. I chose to work with Laura again as she had helped me purchase 2 homes over the last 2 decades. This time was tough because of this crazy market, but we finally found my dream home and Laura put together a creative offer and we landed it. Getting an offer accepted in this market can seem impossible, but everything that came after was smooth because of Laura's experience and expertise. She never left me hanging, was always available to answer my questions, and was always right on top of things immediately. Right after closing on my new home, Laura jumped on getting my old house sold. She priced it just right, and we watched the offers roll in after just two days of showings. She handled everything strategically and professionally and I was able to do what I never thought I'd be able to do, let alone in this market.

                        - Kimberly Chan, Raymond
                      • Laura, you did a wonderful job selling our house. Thank you very much.

                        - Dianne & Victor Porter, Parsonsfield
                      • Laura was quick to understand exactly what we were looking for. She didn't waste our time looking at houses that weren't a fit, and when we found THE house we were envisioning she jumped to action making it happen asap even in an intense market. Thank you Laura, we're so happy to have the home we always wanted

                        - Rachael Longo & Nick Cain, Denmark
                      • Laura guided us through the purchase of the perfect home for us! Laura is a strong professional agent that confidently solved any issues we ran into. Laura was always calm and reassuring. In the end, we not only had a new place to call home, but a new friend! I highly recommend putting your dreams of buying a home in her hands!

                        - Christine and Mario Nunez, Standish
                      • Laura was professional and her advice was spot on. She sold the house quickly and for more than the asking price.

                        - Wade Cressey, Steep Falls
                      • Laura was incredibly knowledgeable from the start, she knew the market, and had a plan. She made me feel comfortable, and took a lot of the stress away that I had selling my late father's home. She had several showings a day within the first week of listing, and got an offer within the same week. She was on top of everything, knew exactly what I needed or who I needed to talk to. I never had to wait on her, and she was always open for communication. From beginning to end, Laura made the entire process smooth and easy for me. I would recommend Laura to anyone that wants results and wants someone who cares a lot about her clients.

                        - Patrick Negri, Standish
                      • Laura has been extraordinarily attentive and resourceful in guiding our sale and working to resolve work needed before closing. We are very pleased.

                        - Dick Curran, Standish
                      • Laura did a great job for us. She helped us buy a beautiful homeone mile from the ocean in Old Orchard Beach. She was professional and helpful at all times.Her assistant kept on top of the details and kept everything running smoothly.The whole process was a blessing. We searched and thought we were up against a mountain of difficulty but things went smoothly and fast. And we got a good deal! Thank you Laura and your team!

                        - Karen Dunham & Peter Simmons, Old Orchard Beach
                      • I have been in the business world for over 25 years and what I noticed was her true professionalism, knowledge of the market, response and reaction to showings, and her strong communications. She was there every step of the way. I will not only use her again as we move on with some other properties, I have full confidence in recommending her. Thank you, Laura.

                        - David Cribby, South Portland
                      • Laura was amazing to work with from start to finish. Her knowledge of the local market as well her unparalleled work ethic make her our go to agent. She was always there to answer our questions and ensured the sale went as smoothly as possible. I would recommend her to anyone.

                        - John & Mary Ann Doxsey, Gorham
                      • We had a very nice, professional experience with Laura. We had a home to sell with some subtle issues that scared off potential buyers. Laura helped us reevaluate the selling price as well as the manner of marketing the home. Once it became apparent who this house would mostly attract, it sold quickly and showed Laura could shift gears as needed for success.

                        - Jay Reichheld, Shapleigh
                      • It was a complete pleasure working with Laura. She was a lot of fun to work with and completely knows her business! We had purchased property through her business several years ago, and because Laura kept in touch, we reached out to her again when we decided to look for property. Hands down, we would recommend her anytime.Lou-Ann & Steve Milton

                        - Lou-Ann and Steve Milton, Poland
                      • Laura is an amazing Realtor, but even a better person. She took the time to understand who I was and what I was looking for in a home. Real estate transactions can be complicated, with many twists and turns, but Laura kept my best interest in mind and with great patience and knowledge, was able to accommodate all of my needs, which were many! In the end, both buyer and seller were extremely pleased with the process and I didnt just find a new Realtor, but a friend as well.

                        - Sean O'Connor, Casco
                      • Thanks again for representing us in the sale of our home and purchase of a new one. This has been our third time going through this process with you, and we always appreciate your professionalism and pleasantness.

                        - Joe and Mary Beaulieu, Old Orchard Beach
                      • I just moved into a gorgeous condo that Laura helped us find, negotiate and close on. Laura took the time to understand our needs, our budget and our time frame. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her for your realtor needs!

                        - Luis Rengifo, Old Orchard Beach
                      • Laura works really hard! She got us to the finish line despite some unique challenges. She was diligent and persistent right to the end!

                        - Patrick Holland, North Yarmouth
                      • If the only part of this review you read today is the first sentence then I will say this: Laura is AWESOME. My husband and I were first time home buyers and were VERY new to the whole process. Fortunately, we found Laura! She is very passionate about her work and was very quick setting up showings for us. She gave us her honest and valuable opinion of each home. She was on top of it each step of the process that it seemed unbelievably easy! I felt that most of the time, our only jobs were to pick up the phone, say "yes" or "no" and sign the paperwork (which is so easy with her online process!) She was available to us whenever and wherever we needed her. She made the whole process stress free. We always felt that she had our best interest and goals in mind. Laura is truly a one-of-a-kind real estate agent! We really can't recommend her enough. Thanks a bunch Laura B!

                      • I want to express my complete confidence in Laura Byther as my real estate broker. I have had 3 real estate transactions with Laura and I can say without hesitation that she will fight for you when needed, use her experience to suggest a path forward, and always keep you informed. Buying and selling real estate is a stressful event, but she will help you through it with your sanity intact! With her experience, she can bring a deal home even if things get tough!

                        - Tim Lynch, Old Orchard Beach
                      • Thank you for everything youve done, and all the help that you have given us. You have been a pleasure to work with and I hope our paths cross in the future!

                      • Laura Byther helped us with two real estate transactions and handled them with the highest professional ethics. She is easy to contact, extremely experienced and knowledgeable and very responsive as she keeps important due dates and time frames in the forefront. Additionally, Laura is concerned about building and maintaining relationships that are the foundation for smoothly completing transactions. We enjoyed working with her very much.

                        - Lee & Steve Lauritsen, Limerick
                      • Thank you very much for your assistance with purchasing the property. I appreciate your honesty and patience. It made the process much easier and enjoyable for us.

                        - Brad Lodge, Alfred
                      • Its been good working with you, Laura. You went above and beyond to get things done for me which is so much appreciated as Im so far away and it wasnt easy for me to look after all of the details. Many thanks!

                        - Matt Pratt, South Portland
                      • Laura was very on top of everything throughout our whole process! She was quick to respond to our questions, explain paperwork, gave helpful information/insight, and was very proactive in getting us into a house! Thanks Laura!

                        - Jesse & Chelsea Zmoos, Gorham
                      • Laura Byther provided my family phenomenal support and representation when we purchased a lake house in Denmark Maine. Her familiarity with the market, personal relationships within the community and significant experience as a professional real estate agent enabled our purchase to be completed efficiently and quickly despite my wife and I being remote. Her commitment to quickly respond to all of our questions and requirements and to perform activities that we could not do ourselves because of our location was far greater than what I have experienced with other agents. Laura was so helpful and so knowledgeable that my father on multiple occasions was compelled to provide a rare compliment on the level of service she provided us. I wholeheartedly recommend Laura.

                        - Matt Scribner, Denmark
                      • We had to move out of state and Laura helped us sell our house in just over a month and for much more than we anticipated! She did all the paperwork electronically so even though my husband had met with her, I still have yet to meet her due to my schedule. It was extremely helpful and let me continue my life without interruption!

                        - Annie and Jeremiah Smith, Saco
                      • Hi Laura,It was a pleasure and privilege to work with you in selling my home on Yale St. in Portland. Your diligence, understanding and professionalism are so well appreciated in these difficult economic times. You went over and above what anyone could expect, and I want you to know how much it was appreciated!!! Feel free to have any of your clients contact me if they would like a personal reference.Thank you for all you have done.

                        - Bernie Capaldi, Portland
                      • We were relocating from Oklahoma City and were referred to Laura B to help us find our retirement home in Maine.We arrived in Portland on a Friday and were under contract on our dream home within a few days. Throughout our short time together Laura showed use very professional courtesy and made what might have been a traumatic experience an adventure. We highly recommend Laura to anyone looking to buy or sell!

                        - Dick and Shirley McIntosh, Standish
                      • Laura is a very knowledgeable and experienced agent. She guided us through the home buying process and always made sure we knew of our options. Laura was always available to us, via phone or email, and she was able to answer our questions at any time of day. She was very easy to work with and I recommend her to work with anyone buying or selling.

                        - Sue and Pat Hodgdon, Gorham
                      • Laura Byther is a true professional with an exceptional amount of knowledge in the industry. My wife and I had recently moved to Maine and spent over two years looking for a home working with two agents before her. It was only after we lost a house to one of Lauras clients that we searched her out. It was obvious she had the ability to get her clients what they wanted and that is what we were looking for in an agent. Not only does Laura have the business savvy to get her clients the property they want once they find it, but she also has the skills to understand exactly what her clients wants and needs are. She was able to listen to our desires and unlike other agents she did not waste our time with a mass amount of inventory in hopes something would stick. Everything she showed us was perfect. Which is why Laura was able to put us in our dream home after only two months of working together. I will definitely be using Laura for all of my real estate needs from now on and suggest you do the same.

                        - Cliff and Kelly Fantigrossi, North Yarmouth
                      • Recently Laura navigated my wife and I through our dream home purchase her knowledge of the market and her attention to detail was outstanding. Laura provided a very solid and professional experience through a home purchase with many twists and turns,her ability to account for the market and conditions made the difference.Our home purchase would not have happened if we did not have Laura in our corner. We recommend her to anyone who is looking to buy or sell their property.

                        - Jeremy Somes, Windham
                      • Dear Laura,Today you have concluded the sale of the fourth property that we have rehabbed in the past 18 months. The first 3 you sold to the first individuals to whom the house was showed. In each case your aggressive pricing sold the homes for approximately 10-15% above what we had anticipated. The last property on which we are closing today took a little longer. We became too aggressive and exceeded your pricing recommendations. Once we correctly priced the property and obtained a test of the dug well, again at your recommendation, the property again sold quickly very near the final asking price.We owe a large part of our success in our buying, rehabbing and selling of residential homes to your knowledge, experience and to the members of your support team who make selling our properties an enjoyable and profitable experience. Thank you for being good and having pride in your work and company.

                        - Chuck Renneker, Bridgton
                      • Laura has a great personality and listened to all my needs. She got back to me on the numerous calls and texts I sent daily. She always worked on my goals and made the selling of my home with the recent loss of my husband a tremendous relief off my shoulders. She handled everything and made the transition burden free for me. Im extremely pleased and grateful to have had Laura as my Realtor and would be more than happy to recommend her to anyone.

                        - Denise DeVito, Sanford
                      • It would be my pleasure to recommend Laura Byther as your Realtor. My house was on the market for two years before I had hired Laura. She was able to sell my home within three months. She was always available to speak with. She always had immediate follow up upon any showings or inquiries. It was a pleasure working with her.

                        - Sally Wood, Saco
                      • My family and I are very thankful to have Laura B as our Realtor. She was extremely professional, patient, and trustworthy. She was always on our side working to make our house-selling as simple and successful as possible. The best part about working with Laura was that she was always more focused on answering our questions, giving us good advice, and making the entire selling process as smooth as possible. We would recommend her to anyone.

                        - Annie Mao, Portland
                      • Laura did a great job keeping the deal together. I learned a lot from her. She is always available. She is a true professional with years of experience.

                        - Fritz Antoine, Portland
                      • Through all steps of the process we were consistently impressed by Lauras wonderful mix of friendliness and Realtor expertise. She quickly becomes more than a Realtor, she is a friend who knows you and understands what you are looking for. We will be forever grateful to Laura for helping us find and buy our dream home.

                        - Melissa and David Heyman, Scarborough
                      • Hi Laura, Ill never forget how nice you were to my mom when she had to sell her house because my dad had died. She felt very comfortable talking with you during that difficult time. Your kindness meant a lot to her. I just want to tell you that you did a spectacular job of getting her house sold in a very timely manner! Thank you again for all your help. We would most certainly recommend you to any of our friends who might be searching for a Realtor!

                        - Linda and Bobby Covert, Gorham
                      • Laura did a wonderful job selling the condo for us. She was fast, helpful and very knowledgeable. Worked with us with a challenging sale and met with the water company for us! She even helped us close on a Saturday! Thank you Laura!

                        - Kim and Pete Marion, Windham
                      • Dear Laura,Thank you so much for your commitment to the successful sale of our home.Although we were eager to start building our new home, the process of selling our current home was one which I dreaded. Greg and I interviewed 3 other agencies and were very disappointed with what they thought fair market value for our house would be. As we were discussing this issue with our neighbor, he suggested that we give you a call. He kept saying over and over what a hard worker you are. Well, not only were we impressed with the many letters of confidence that your past clients wrote on your behalf and, of which, I am thrilled to contribute to; Greg immediately sensed your sincere excitement and desire to sell our home at the price that we had in mind. Your reassurance, confidence and integrity sold us on you. You not only got our price, but you made sure that the sale went smoothly and swiftly. It really was much more than I had even hoped for.So, it is with sincere gratitude to you and to my neighbor for referring you to us, that I gladly write this letter to sing your praises. May you have continued success in your business and family life.THANK YOU, LAURA.

                      • To Whom It May Concern:Over the past 15 years, my wife and I have sold and purchased over five homes. During that time we have had many Realtors, good and not so good. One Realtor, however, stands out like a beacon and this is Laura Byther. Laura goes the extra mile in both selling and purchasing a home. To her, the client is paramount. Her work ethic and presentation of a home shows a diligence that is absent in so many areas. She is one special lady.

                      • Laura Byther was simply wonderful to work with. We had to work mostly by phone and email because I was 1500 miles away, but she did everything well and in a timely manner. I trusted her completely. She would be the first person I would call if I were in the market again in Maine. I strongly recommend her.

                      • Laura Byther knows how to get a home SOLD! Laura assisted us in staging our home and worked hard to make sure we received the highest price possible! Her experience and knowledge is unsurpassed. We would highly recommend her services!!!!!

                      • I have worked with Laura B on two separate occasions. The second of these was when I was selling my mothers house, which had been in our family for over 60 years, following her passing. Lauras experience and knowledge of the market and lenders, combined with her unique sensitivity and professionalism made a very difficult task much easier. In both instances, the sales closed much sooner than we expected at a very favorable price. Her unrivaled market knowledge and professionalism coupled with her commitment to her clients makes her the obvious choice for any real estate needs.

                      • Laura B,Thank you for your professionalism during a difficult time with the sale of our home. Your guidance of staging and updating with a minimal amount of funds used was greatly appreciated. Your market analysis was right on the money. Even though its always a sticker shock, your truthfulness I appreciated. In the end you pulled it all together and got it under contract as you did my first house, too.

                      • We have been very pleased with Laura Byther; she has been very professional from the beginning. My wife, Tamela, and I prayed for the right Realtor. We knew immediately that Laura was the one. She has proven herself time after time. We love her and know she will fight for us if need be. We would choose her again in a heartbeat! Weve thanked God for her more than once, and even though the sale is over she is still helping us.

                      • I enjoyed working with Laura on the sale of my old house and the purchase of my new condo. Shell get it sold for you.

                      • Laura is an experienced, congenial yet extremely focused and knowledgeable agent. Over the years I have bought and sold over a dozen houses and Laura stands out as my outstanding agent. You want an honest agent who will work with you to resolve your housing challenge she is your one.
