Laurel DaPrano
Laurie is the absolute best. She is incredibly patient, detail orientated, and such an amazing advocate for our needs in the home buying process. Were so grateful for her!
- Asha Blair, Chesapeake, VAI worked with Laurie over several months while I was relocating to the Hampton Roads area. She was always responsive and fully understood my requirements. I could call or text her with any questions and she provided timely information. We explored many neighborhoods together, allowing me to narrow in on a neighborhood that I liked and then eventually purchase a home in Virginia Beach. Her connections to many reputable home service providers was extremely valuable. I would highly recommend Laurie.
- LeAnn Young, Virginia Beach, VAFantastic and reliable. Great communicator.
- Michael Nelson, Chesapeake, VAI loved working with Laurie!! I filled something out online and she contacted me (I feel like she was an angel sent lol). She worked so diligently in finding my needs in wants in my first home. Just when I was ready to stop looking and fill out another rental application (which I actually did lol), she continued pushing for me. She found another property and pushed for me until the keys were in my hand!!! Im so in love with my new home. Highly recommended!!!
- Elise Mercer, Norfolk, VALaurie did an excellent job coordinating all the myriad of details in selling our home. We live 4 hours away and it was a great relief that she kept the process moving along without our direct involvement. She managed the offer review process with great insight and obtained for us the best deal possible. I highly recommend her services.
- Gordon Davis, Portsmouth, VALaurie is a fantastic real estate agent. She's a great communicator and kept us well-informed of all the happenings at the home we were trying to sell from out-of-state. She gave us good advice on what needed to be done prior to listing, held the open house, and accepted and organized the offers for us to review. She also arranged for some repairs in the crawl space and followed through with the contractors to make sure the job was completed on time. Her careful attention to all the details of the sale made this a very smooth process from start to finish. I highly recommend Laurie to help you buy and/or sell your home. She also gave us a very good recommendation for an agent in the city where we plan to live next. Thank you, Laurie - we could not have done this without you!
- Vicki Davis, Portsmouth, VALaurie was absolutely amazing & a true professional!! She was on top of all the back & forth discussions between buyer, guided us through every step of the sale process and kept us apprised throughout. We were impressed with her communication skills and real estate knowledge. Best of all - we did not have to do a thing. She did it all.
- Anne Grey, Portsmouth, VAI had the great pleasure of working with Laurie DaPrano who assisted my parents with the purchase of their new home and the sale of their existing home. Laurie was more than patient and extremely helpful with my elderly parents. While most would have been bothered to send over documents for my review prior to securing my parent's signature, Laurie welcomed my involvement. She provided great recommendations for home inspectors, home warranty companies, and moving companies. Laurie was a true professional, always willing to drop off documents to the mortgage lender on behalf of my parents or rearrange her schedule to accommodate my parents who have health challenges. This meant a lot to me since I do not live in the area. I appreciated her diligence in figuring out the best sales price for my parents' existing home when limited comps were available. Laurie was exceptional in marketing my parents' existing home; she included outstanding photos and a detailed property description. I was not surprised by how quickly my parent's home sold (multiple offers the first day it hit the market). I strongly recommend Laurie DaPrano, she is a highly competent, very professional realtor and a lovely person.
- Vonette Harris, Norfolk, VAIf I could give 10 stars, I would. Laurie was very timely in her responses to our questions and did an excellent job in helping us secure this property. Thanks Laurie
- Gary Bell, Virginia Beach, VALaurie streamlined the closing process for us by arranging a Notary to come to our home in Richmond when we couldnt be in Virginia Beach.

- Beth Bell, Virginia Beach, VALaurie is a wonderful agent. Every aspect of the transaction was handled with the utmost care and detail. She listens and communicates brilliantly through the entire process. She is a joy to work with!!
- Lauren Harrington, Virginia Beach, VALaurie is an absolute gem here in VB. From the moment we connected by chance, Laurie made us feel right at ease. Laurie knew how hard it ease to relocate from an entirely different region and used every way possible for us to find the home we were looking to retire in. The entire experience was made so much easier by Laurie and her dedication to making us happy and that we made the right choice. Thank you Laurie!
- Marybeth Barno, Virginia Beach, VASuper helpful. Always attentive. This is the realtor you want!!
- Phillip Kaufmann, Virginia Beach, VAI partnered with Laurie DaPrano to sell my parent's home in 2024. She quickly identified the priorities needed to get our property on the market & connected me with local professionals to prepare our home for listing. Laurie listened to me and asked for my input on every decision. She was thoughtful in selecting the day to list the property & networked with countless agents to maximize viewings. She was laser focused on getting the best offer. The closing process was flawless from start to finish. Laurie managed every detail leading up to the final closing by working closely with the buyer's agent and the closing attorney. From start to finish, our home was sold in just over 10 weeks. She is simply the best!

- Robin Hammond, Portsmouth, VAThe best agent around. She is honest, upfront, reliable, and easy to work with. She puts her clients first above all else. Easy to get along with and tells you like it is. She is there every step of the way.
- Tamara Cabral, Virginia Beach, VAHad a great experience with Laurie! I'm a first time homebuyer so I didn't know all too much other than what I had researched beforehand but Laurie was always willing to help and clarify things I didn't understand. She explained things in a way simple and straightforward way and really helped me to get the best deal for my home! She was also very flexible and did her best to work around my work schedule to view homes. Thanks to her I was able to find my first home in just a couple of months!
- Sam Santiaguel, Virginia Beach, VALaurie worked really hard from the start to find the perfect house for me. Shes down to earth and easy to talk to, but really has an understanding of how the real estate market works. If it werent for her diligence and commitment, Id still be looking for a house! I highly recommend Laurie DaPrano if youre looking for an agent who will come through for you and your family she knows her stuff!
- Chris Heidt, Virginia Beach, VAWow! Talk about knowing your business! Laurie took me on a journey from a showing to a closing in 6 weeks!! All at a better price than I thought would be possible! I can't sing her praises enough. Once we found the house there was another offer which she not only ensured we could still be in the conversation but that we would be the seller's focused option. She walked me through a very successful negotiation with the buyer, even gaining unplanned concessions for new appliances. Her network brough me choices and recommendations for lenders, plumbers, handymen, etc. to help with what I needed. Love my new place! Thank you Laurie DaPrano!!
- Jan Lowry, Virginia Beach, VAGreat knowledge and expertise. Everything went as promised and on time.
- Benjamin Sawyer, Hampton, VALaurel DaPrano is the ideal person to have on your side as your realtor. I bought site unseen in Virginia Beach while living in California and every neighbor and friend that has seen my home in person has been telling me how lucky I was. The house was a gem in a highly sought after area in Virginia Beach. Laurie was my eyes from afar. She gave me an in depth description of the home and provided great insight as we video chatted. Thanks to her expertise, I was able to find the right home expeditiously after reviewing many homes. Laurie is a TOP TIER AGENT, I'd highly encourage everyone to have her as your realtor, you won't regret it !
- Juan Franco, Virginia Beach, VAI am very thankful and impressed with Laurie Daprano, Laurie helped me buy a home. from day one, Laurie understood what I was looking for and went out there and found it for me in this tough difficult market. Its been a pleasure having Laurie as my Realtor.

- Haley Parker Chalkley, Norfolk, VAOutstanding and Amazing are the words that come to mind immediately when working with Laurie! As a first time home buyer, I didnt experience any of the negative things about buying a home. Laurie was so professional and accommodating with my work schedule that I was able to close on my first home with no negative experiences and I wasnt even in the country at the time. Thank you so much, be blessed, and have a great rest of your 2022!
- Obadiah Salas, Smithfield, VAHardworking willing to go the extra to ensure you get what you want! I was shown multiple homes and was able to give me an idea of what they appeared like via Skype as I bought sight unseen.
- Cody Hislop, Virginia Beach, VALaurie was absolutely great, she helped guide us through every part of the home buying process. As first time home buyers we were truly grateful for the amount of time and energy she spent making sure we had all the information we needed to find and purchase a home. Any time we had a question she either had an answer or found one as soon as possible. Beyond all that though was her ability to make us feel respected and help us to have a little fun along the way. I would recommend her to anyone I know as a top-class realtor.
- Sean Diggers, Norfolk, VAI cant express enough how happy I am with my new home in the East Beach area of Norfolk. Our agent, Laurel(Laurie) was absolutely amazing. She really listened to what we were looking for in a second home. She was patient and accommodating of our schedules and time as we were out of state and couldnt always be present to see every property. Our home purchase was a year long journey. Laurie was with us every step of the way. Covid and a tight real estate market only added to an already overwhelming process. Having a professional, understanding, knowledgeable agent made the process less intimidating. I would strongly recommend Laurel DaPrano as your agent if you are looking for a property in the Virginia Beach Hampton Roads area.
- Michele Gray, Norfolk, VALaurie worked hard to find us a wonderful beach condo in Virginia Beach. She has a perfect amount of aggressiveness without being pushy which is exactly what we like on the buy side of real estate. As great as she was getting us to the offer and acceptance stage, she was even better in the acceptance to close stage. Laurie is so well connected in Virginia Beach that she helped us ensure that our punch list items were being addressed, she introduced us to the best window treatment people and even helped us get application forms for the nearby country club. We definitely recommend Laurel (Laurie) DaPrano!
- Mark Cross, Virginia Beach, VALaurie DaPrano is a stand out among Realtors! We really enjoyed working with Laurie as she was tireless in her efforts in finding the right home for us! She has the experience and the tenacity needed in such a saturated market for realtors. We highly recommend working with Laurie and her Group of professionals!!
- Mark Kolesha, Suffolk, VALaurie is just amazing!! She is a friend of mine, and helped me through the home-selling process, and was not even my agent. She goes above and beyond for her clients and is just a great person in general. Who wouldnt want to use her to buy/sell your home?
- Lindsey Shortridge, Virginia Beach, VAHighly recommended & great to work with! Laurie was a great communicator & easy to keep in touch with. Much appreciated!
- Janice Johnson, Norfolk, VABeing that we purchased a HUD home Laurie worked incredibly hard to follow the regulations required and was very helpful through the whole process. There was a lot of negotiation based on misrepresentation of listing and a closing date change that all was expertly managed by Laurie.
- Derek Johnson, Norfolk, VALaurie was great to work with! Very helpful and quick to respond. Highly recommend working with Laurie. Well definitely keep in contact for our next home.
- Raymond Stagen, Virginia Beach, VAWe started looking for a place remotely and Laurie went to the homes for us, and we did virtual walk-throughs. Once we moved to the area, she was always available to show us the homes, even last minute. When we had issues with the lender, she stepped in and kept them moving forward.
- Mitch Heller, Virginia Beach, VABest in the reality business, would recommend anyone to her. She made sure she truly understand the wants and needs in a house. She is very quick to respond and doesnt stop working til the job is done. 10/10.
- Karey Schafer, Virginia Beach, VAMy husband and I happened upon Laurie by accident when we viewed a few homes in our area and are so glad we did. Laurie is knowledgeable, helpful, and professional, but the thing we loved most about Laurie is how comfortable we felt around her. She is a genuine and authentic person, who will tell you if she doesnt know the answer to something and is quick to find the answer for you. That seems to be a rare thing these days. She has an incredible work ethic and seems to work around the clock, answering questions for us way past business hours. This above and beyond if you ask us, but also important in the current housing market we are in. We felt like she really stuck up for us and made sure we were in the know of the entire buying process, got the fairest deal, and felt comfortable with every detail. Its too bad that we wont be seeing her more often now that weve bought our forever home.
- Megan Bell, Norfolk, VALaurie is a very pleasant person to work with, and we are so happy that we chose her to be our realtor. She listens to and understands your needs, and shows properties that you'll like. During walk-throughs she will point out imperfections or issues. She runs comparable pricing analyses to determine if the price is correct. She is flexible and therefore scheduling showings is easy and fast. Laurie is very responsive to messages or calls. She communicates and negotiates with sellers to get the best price and deal for her clients. We loved working with her and the new house she helped us to purchase.
- Glenn Magill, Virginia Beach, VAMy experience with Laurie DaPrano was seamless. She staged and had my home professionally photographed and it sold within 2 days, with several offers. Her attention to detail and professionalism is second to none. I plan to purchase another home in Virginia Beach by the end of the year and will most definitely use her services again.
- Laura Prettyman, Virginia Beach, VAOur experience with Laurie was nothing short of amazing. She walked us through the online purchase of our home and was there every step of the way. We honestly could not have done this without her. She made sure all our concerns were addressed at lightning speed. Not once did she make us feel like just another customer!
- George Gamaldi, Portsmouth, VALaurie did a great job of lining up properties to tour that met our needs. She made the process quick and easy and provided good advice in the negotiation. She was constantly in communication so we were informed along the way. Everything went smoothly, and we were highly satisfied with her services and would recommend Laurie.
- Jeff Fender, Norfolk, VALaurie was great! She was extremely helpful when we were looking to a buy a house! She always showed us houses before they popped up on any apps and took what we liked and didn't like to heart when showing us more! She was always sweet and was willing to show us as many houses as we wanted as many times a week as we were available. If your looking to buy a house look no further just contact Laurie!
- Marcella Lezotte, Suffolk, VALaurel is very knowledgeable and has a true passion for real estate. She navigated us throughout the entire home-buying process and worked with our lender to ensure that we closed on time. Laurel gave us sound advice that was genuine and she listened to our needs and wants. She deserves 10 stars for everything that she has done for us and we will definitely use her again if we ever decide to buy another home.
- Shelea Robinson, Norfolk, VALaurel was Heaven sent! From my initial request via Zillow's website, Laurel contacted me immediately and was ready to help me find my first home but at a reasonable price. Laurel provided me with all the necessary information needed as a first-time home buyer and made me feel comfortable with the process as a whole. She was knowledgeable about the area however if there was anything she was unsure about she had a response for me within 24hrs. In addition, when it came to my home inspection she went to bat for me to ensure I was being quoted fairly. :-) I am so appreciative of Laurel's dedication and passion for what she does that led to me getting the home of my dreams. If you're in need of an attentive, rock start agent please reach out to Laurel DaPrano!
- Shannon Smith, Portsmouth, VAFound me the perfect house of my dreams. We were patient and she did her research. I looked at only the homes that fit my requirements. I found a sound beautiful home in a good area. I looking forward to settling there. She kept me informed of everything coming on the market.
- Stephanie Tice, Norfolk, VALaurie is conscientious, dependable, and professional. We were sellers from out of town and Laurie stepped up to meet and arrange contractors for repairs needed to prepare the house for sale. Laurie was a pleasure to work with, honest, forthright, and has a can-do attitude. Very refreshing!
- Georgia Boyd, Chesapeake, VAI have been friends with Laurie for over 30 years but never used her as a realtor before. We just worked with her to purchase a vacation home and she was amazing to work with. From start to finish she was extremely professional and helped us secure everything we wanted in the transaction. I would highly recommend her!
- Sara Fender, Norfolk, VALaurel Laurie DaPrano was absolutely outstanding during our home-buying process from start to finish! Not only were we buying in an extremely competitive market, but we were not located in the same state during the duration of the search. Laurie went above and beyond, consistently being the 1st on site for virtual home showings and always offering professional and sound advise for preparing offers. After being super persistent, a dozen showings and several offers later - we landed a dream home! Lauries knowledge of the area, market, and financial process was incredible. We ended up using her network of financial experts to not only save us money on closing costs but streamlined the process and improved communications with our initial lender. Her communication skills and attention to detail are to be admired. If you get the opportunity to work with Laurie, you have found the best there is!
- Robert & Jessica Brown, WilliamsburgOnce we met Laurie the process of selling our house went fast and smoothly. Laurie was very helpful and determined. She had our house on the market within no time and had scheduled showings all the way up until we accepted an offer. We are very thankful to have worked with Laurie.
