Hartford County Real Estate & Home Values

Look no further than Laurie Kane Laurie entered my home with a sharp eye and clear vision of where she thought my property should be priced at. In our society there are few people that can balance professionalism and a vibrant personality as well as she does. Laurie represents knowledge of both the market as well as the community and knew how to display my home so predominantly. Not only was Laurie present to show my home, but she was also so kind to accommodate showings for people who’s agents weren’t available to be on hand for for their own clients to view my home. Most importantly, Laurie was very precise, clear and direct. Her communication ski...

Best Realtor® in Avon! I am a first-time homeowner and recently closed on a property with Laurie as my agent. At the beginning of my real estate search, I had no ties to Hartford or Connecticut and initially felt quite anxious at the prospect of purchasing. Additionally, I’m a military veteran and had several specific questions on how to best utilize my benefits during this process. Fortunately, an acquaintance of mine recommended Laurie to me, as she had been his real estate agent when he made a similar move a year ago. Aside from the glowing recommendation I had received from my classmate, what attracted me to Laurie was her positive reviews, as w...

I have hired Laurie Kane to sell my last 4 homes in Avon and Farmington. During each sale, she truly went above and beyond to ensure that I got the most money for my houses. At Cider brook, I had my house listed with another agent for over a year and no sale. I learned about Laurie through a personal note she sent me. My initial meeting with her I thought she was a little overly confident when she said that she would sell my house in less than a month! I had to think about it for a few days. When I called her back, she wanted me to make changes and stage the house with different furniture. I reluctantly agreed because she was so confident and knowle...

It’s said that buying a house is more stressful than bankruptcy, divorce, and even the death of a loved-one. Trying to juggle a home sale, purchase, and move all concurrently is the perfect storm of financial activities. It’s not something you should venture into alone. It requires a professional. Someone who has been there and seen it all. Someone who has the experience to guide you, to advise you, and to smooth the rough patches, so you can focus on the rest of your life during the process, without being consumed by it. Someone like Laurie Kane. Laurie is a true pro. She helped us through our purchase and sale in a hot market, and made the process...

There’s something to be said about someone who has the genuine ability to alter your life in a positive way. That is what Laurie Kane did for our family. In a time where people have the ability to “call it in,” it’s rare to work with people who highlight the core of their character as a grounding and guiding feature for a successful career. Character, follow-through, technical ability and deeply-genuine people skills are some of the characteristics of what makes someone great, regardless of their profession. Those are the characteristics we sought out in a real estate agent. And those are the characteristics that not only landed us in front of Lauri...

In short: Laurie has been extremely sharp, knowledgeable, and strategic - a great person to be fighting on your side. She was always respectful of our wishes, had our best interests in mind, and negotiated amazingly well on our behalf. Our experience: My boyfriend and I were casually shopping for houses, and have gotten a number of recommendations of Realtors® from our family and friends. We didn’t want to sign with a Realtor® because we were so early in our home buying process. We actually met Laurie at an open house and appreciated that unlike other Realtors®, she gave us our space when we checked out the house; this is when we started working wit...

Laurie is absolutely fantastic! We were first-time homebuyers and she alleviated any stress, questions, and confusion before we could even have any. She was timely, proactive, and made sure every box was checked in order to make sure we were getting the best experience possible. We completely trusted everything she said and every piece of guidance that she suggested to us. She is extremely professional and is "by the book", which completely works in favor of her clients. She will advocate for her clients and make sure they are getting what they want/deserve out of the transaction. She certainly does her job very well and we could not have been happi...

To most people, acting like a professional means working and behaving in such a way that others think of them as competent, reliable, and respectful. Professionals are a credit not only to themselves but also to others. The one constant, supportive, professional, and most positive person we had the good fortune of taking along on our house journey search was Laurie Kane. She would always say to us, “that’s my job”. It’s more than a job with Laurie, she puts her heart and soul into all she does and you can clearly see that she has a deep passion for what she does and she does it so well. Buyers are the lucky ones to reap the benefits of her passion. ...

Our family was relocating from out of state. We knew what we wanted, but being out of state made it difficult to fly up every time a new listing came on the market that might meet our needs. We needed a trusted representative to do all of our initial walk-throughs. When we met with Laurie she invested her time in understanding our situation and our needs. She was patient with us. She did not push each house that came on the market trying to get a sale. She carefully presented listings that met our needs and were candid about letting us know when it was time to fly up and see a house in person. When we made an offer she provided her insight and helpe...

We interviewed three Realtors® to sell our home of 30 years. We selected Laurie because we felt she would do the best job of maximizing the price of the sale of our house. She came prepared on the 1st meeting with market analysis of comparable houses to ours which impressed us and we felt that she was the most qualified of the 3 sales people we interviewed. Laurie did an excellent job of guiding us through the process of preparing the house for showings, getting all the minutia of what needed to be done organized and completed very quickly and presenting our house on line and in person. Laurie's handling of the contract negotiations helped us get ab...

Laurie is remarkable. She brings so much skill and knowledge to the table. We could not navigate this process without her. Her advice was always spot on, and I know she was the reason our home sold as quickly as it did. We had some challenges and she was able to provide advice and talk us off the ledge more than once. I know she has a lot of clients she is supporting and a lot of homes she’s selling, but she always makes us feel like we are her only client. That is a gift that not all agents have. You feel like you are her exclusive client. She has real insight into the local market, so she clearly does her homework, and she seems to know offhand wh...

Laurie is a fantastic realtor® and highly recommended! She went above and beyond to help us with two complicated real estate transactions. She spent countless hours making sure we received the maximum return on investment with the home we were selling. She is very professional, attentive, and extremely knowledgeable. In addition, she provided us with advice and guidance throughout the home buying process to make sure we had an effortless experience. We found the perfect home in a very competitive market with her on our side! Her strong networking within the Farmington Valley area also assisted us with finding the best mortgage broker, lawyer, etc. W...

We had an excellent experience selling our existing home and buying our new home with Laurie's assistance. Through each step of the process, Laurie provided the highest level of support and covered every necessary detail to ensure we were pursuing the best path. Even though we ran into typical challenges with our home inspection and sometimes unreasonable sellers, Laurie was well-qualified and professional in guiding us through these issues. We especially loved her commitment to helping sell our property for the best value by providing us with designer/staging services. We are truly thankful to have been referred to Laurie by another happy customer ...

Laurie was able to help us sell our non-traditional home quickly in a challenging market for sellers. Her home improvement and decorating tips were critical for preparing the house to go on the market. She was honest and forthcoming on possible price points with us. This clear, direct communication was helpful for us in securing a buyer and allowing us to close all within a couple months. All other houses in our price range in the area that were on the market when we entered were still on the market when we sold and missed out on the peak season or had voluntarily removed their listing hoping for better luck at a later date. We were privileged to ha...

Laurie was my buyers agent. I found Laurie based on her reviews and she did not disappoint. She was the best Realtor® I have ever worked with. She was always willing to talk or show any house no matter how late or early. What sets Laurie apart is that she will work for what is best for you and not what is convenient or best for herself. On one occasion, I was about to purchase a home. But after the inspection revealed many issues with the house, she recommended I find a different house even though that meant it would take more of her time to find me a house. She proved that she truly works for the client and will always have your best interest in mind.

I’ve known Laurie for 6+ years now. Over this time, we’ve developed a great business relationship and have had the opportunity to help many homebuyers purchase their first, second and sometimes third homes. Laurie has always been extremely ethical, professional and willing to go above and beyond to ensure her clients are taken care of beyond expectations. In addition, she’s always been accessible any time of day - during the week and on weekends. She’s extremely driven and motivated to exceed all of her clients expectations and routinely accomplishes this. In a service driven industry, you truly won’t find anyone better than Laurie!

Laurie was amazing and a true joy to work with. She is knowledgeable, professional and extremely efficient at managing the various steps involved in the entire home sale process. Our experience could not have been more positive and we give her our highest recommendation. She always had the right thing to say and right people to work with. Her staging ideas and photographer captured the true move-in ready feel of our beautiful house. It's not easy to sell your first house where your kids grew up and built tons of memories and Laurie just worked wonderfully through it all till the end. She is now more a friend than a Realtor®.

Laurie Kane has been a true saver. She is extremely professional in every level. We have trusted her with multiple real estate transactions. As our agent she gave us advice not only to sell our house quickly but she helped us by staging our house so that we could maximize the value. Once we listed we sold our home same weekend in a multiple offer generating a price better than what the analysis recommended. She is very business oriented, she definitely follows the contractual laws to the T! If you are looking for a partner you can trust to advocate for you, Laurie Kane is your Pro! We recommend her to everyone we know!

We had a terrific experience with Laurie as our agent. She is highly skilled in all areas pertaining to the real estate market and transactions. She advocates for her clients throughout the entire process and is a consummate professional while doing so. We are grateful for her attention to detail and willingness to always roll up her sleeves and work alongside us as we prepared our home for sale. She helped us work through the details of multiple offers always with our best interests in mind. Laurie has our highest recommendation. We would not hesitate to contact her again for any real estate needs.

Laurie Kane was truly amazing! She helped us list our home in Farmington and from the first meeting, she was professional and very knowledgeable about the market! All recommendations she made were critical and essential to getting our house sold in in less than 30 days while she maximized the return of our investment. She was by our side every step of the way always making sure that our questions were answered and that our concerns were addressed. She is a fantastic negotiator and she always has her clients’ best interest at heart. We highly recommend her to everyone we know!

We decided to work with Laurie after unsuccessfully listing with a different agent for 9 months. Laurie immediately suggested repainting to update the room colors and getting different furniture to better fit the contemporary style of the house. I was reluctant to make these changes as I felt it was an unnecessary expense, but she was persuasive. From the moment our house was relisted, she generated significant interest. Her follow up with potentially interested buyers was exceptional. As a result of her advice and hard work, our house sold on terms that we are pleased with.

We could never have asked for a better agent than Laurie! My husband and I were first-time homebuyers and not only did Laurie manage to find our dream home on the first day, but she was so incredibly helpful and supportive through the entire process. She was so responsive, and so organized, and she made us feel so prepared through the closing process. Laurie always took the time to walk through every step of the process with us and we felt like we were in great hands working with her. She is the best and we cannot recommend her enough! Thank you, Laurie!

As first-time home buyers, my boyfriend and I had no idea where to start, so we reached out to Laurie, and thank goodness we did! Laurie is a consummate professional and walked us through the entire process without bogging us down with all the headaches and minutiae that come along with the house search and closing. She is also super nice and extremely responsive weekends, evenings, holidays, and all! If I could give her six stars, I would. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a new house in the Farmington Valley.

There are Realtors® who know the community they live and those who are fully a part of it. Laurie is definitely the latter – her heart is with the people who make up the Farmington Valley. I've had the pleasure of seeing her dedication in action about a year ago when a family in town needed her public support. She understood the gravity of the situation, showed up to each of the rallies and threw her full support to the cause. You want a Realtor® who cares and cares for your well-being. That's who Laurie is.

Laurie Kane is wonderful to work with. She has all the qualities you need and want in your Realtor®. Laurie is responsive, always has your best interests in mind, professional and works around the clock so you don’t have to! We have bought and sold with her on two separate occasions. Both transactions we received the best value for our money and the closings were smooth and timely. We will continue to use her for all our real estate transactions! If you want the best you must go with Laurie!

Laurie was able to learn & understand our preferences to help narrow our search enabling us to move in a limited time period. Few other agents would be able to match the high sense of urgency she placed on our move, which allowed us to buy & sell all in one summer in between school years with still a vacation in between. Also, her contacts in the mortgage industry were greatly helpful in getting us across the finish line and we were able to close right in time for the start of school!

Laurie has handled 5 real estate transactions for us over the past 14 years. In each one, we were impressed with her knowledge of the market and her profession. In our most recent transaction, a sale, she sold our house in one week with multiple offers that got us $50,000 above asking price. Laurie has always been professional and as her client she always had our backs. I can't imagine anyone else that I would want to buy or sell my home through.

Laurie did a very good job working with us and the seller. She was able to get the seller to get things fixed and worked to get us a good price for our home. This is our first home and we had no idea of the house buying experience, Laurie walked us threw it all. Most of all Laurie stayed in close contact with us, there were countless texts, emails, and phone calls and she was always there for us. We would recommend her to anyone

My wife & I met Laurie in an open house and we liked her as a buyer agent. She very responsive and excellent negotiator. We got our offer accepted within several days after we met. Everything went smoothly and I am now enjoying our newly purchased house. Since I had a few month left on an apartment lease, she even tried to help me finding a renter to sublease it. I was very happy to have her representing us. Two thumbs up!

Laurie sold-out house fast, in two days to be exact! Her knowledge of the market is spot on and her recommendations for getting the house in show condition and staging the house helped it to sell quickly. This is the second time I have hired Laurie because she sold my last house quickly as well. She works hard to negotiate the price you want and I highly recommend her!

She has all the professional knowledge that a property agent should have, and she really thinks of her clients as if it’s her own home. Buying a property is not just about the present need but also about an investment in the future, that is Laurie’s point of view. With her help, we found the one that we know we will happily live in for many many years.

What stands out the most in our minds is her knowledge of the process and her 100% dedication to her clients. Laurie's knowledge of all ins and outs really put us at ease.

On two occasions I contracted with Laurie Kane to sell my home. In both instances, she was able to sell my property when others could not. Not only she is professional, but she is also very focused on getting results. She knows how to get it done. If I need a realtor® in the future, she is the only one I would consider.

Laurie was efficient and detailed and very helpful through the entire process. She kept us in the loop throughout. She helped us stage the house, suggesting items that made it look better. She was more like a friend helping us than a sales person. We would highly recommend her to others.

Laurie was a pleasure to work with from start to finish and is an exceptional Realtor®. She really understands the business and is there for her clients. Everything she promised became a reality. I would not recommend any other relator to work with and I have worked with many.

Laurie is professional and knowledgeable. She guided us as to staging and what we needed to do to get our home ready to put on the market. It worked and our home sold very quickly. And she found the right home for us. We would highly recommend her to friends and family.

I like her very much. She is friendly, helpful, gives us information ahead of time so we know what to prepare. She is a very professional agent. I really recommended her to anyone. She is awesome. Once you know her, she will really help you till the process ends.
