As a first time homebuyer trying to navigate a crazy market, I could not have asked for a better realtor than Sam. I had a very limited budget and had been told by other realtors that I didn’t stand a chance, but Sam was confident she could find me my dream home—and did! She was such a positive presence during an often-frustrating search, patiently answering all my questions and teaching me the ins and outs of Triangle real estate, but she also never sugarcoated anything if she saw red flags in a listing. She was able to quickly hone in on exactly what I was looking for in a home and became a trusted partner in my search. She was also very respectful of my budget and location preferences and never pushed listings that were outside of my comfort zone. In the end, we were able to find the perfect house in the perfect location, and her connections to lenders, inspectors, tradespeople, and more meant that every part of the process—from making an offer to moving in—went off without a hitch. I would highly recommend Sam for your home search! 

I highly recommend Laura! Her knowledge of the area, and her ability to cast a wide but methodical net, helped me very quickly narrow down what I was looking for. Her experience guided me towards the right time to list, and the right price to set, and her patience and steadfastness helped me to  "stay the course" through several hurdles in both selling, and then buying the house of my dreams. She knew what we could control and what we could not. We had some tough negotiations along the way, and Laura was professional, always reasonable, and held our line in a way that was firm and respectful to all. Throughout the entire process, Laura listened to me and my heart, and supported me every step of the way, giving me the confidence I needed to at last seal the home of my dreams. Laura has found her calling in real estate!

Working with Laura @ Silvestri Properties was just fantastic. She is knowledgeable, patient, insightful, and deeply experienced. We worked together in searching for our new home and not once did she lose sight of the goal (nor her sense of humor), despite the lengthy process. And we could not be happier with our new home! We also worked together to sell my house, which I had lived in for 22 years. Her guidance, professionalism, and strategic thinking were invaluable during that somewhat emotional process. Laura is always looking for the win-win and seems to derive genuine joy from her work, which makes the task of buying or selling your home with her a lot of fun and feel like a true partnership.

Working with Laura at Silvestri Properties has been nothing but pleasurable. She helped us identify and purchase a home after many months of looking. She listened carefully to gain a sense of our needs and shared options as they came upon the market.  However, the most unique and appreciated element in the series of transactions was she always did what she said she would do. She was always on time, she always followed up. She has a deep bench of resources to call on such as HVAC contractors, plumbers, inspectors, septic tank experts, carpenters, painters, and a host of other connections that lubricated the otherwise stressful time. She made the calls, got things scheduled, and followed up with the tradespeople when I had questions. Her calls and emails are focused, factual, frequent, and shine with confidence.  She’s honest, hardworking (she even helped spread mulch to promote the sale of my home), pleasant, and I never doubted she had my best interests in mind.  Without hesitation, I would recommend Laura to those getting ready to list a home and those planning to purchase a home.

Laura was there for us every time we needed her. The experience was truly personal and I developed a great relationship with her along the way. I could tell she had our best interest in mind the entire process and she was as professional as you will find. She is well connected and knew who to ask when we had questions beyond the real estate transaction, such as possible renovations, changes to homes, or other creative changes we considered in each home. You cannot go wrong if you select Laura to help you buy sell or rent.

Laura is a wonderful partner in finding a home! She is incredibly patient, compassionate, and invested. She knew what we really wanted before we did, and patiently waited for us to explore all the options and discover it for ourselves. She understands how house-hunting can be a stressful and emotional time, and helps keep you sane. She is very responsive and highly skilled at scheduling and tracking all the many details, appointments, and resources that must be pulled together to make it happen. Her contacts in the industry and her long history with the area are invaluable. Plus, she's a cool, fun, and beautiful person!"

Laura's knowledge, patience, and care were invaluable during the entire process. She has a great understanding and grasps of the local market and we highly recommend her to help you buy or sell a home. I only have positive things about our experience with Laura.

Laura knows the local market extremely well. We were able to secure the property we wanted - at the price we wanted - thanks to Laura. Her professionalism, responsiveness, market knowledge and keen insights were invaluable - and we plan to work with Laura again in our future real estate deals.

We were so blessed to meet Laura. She has extensive experience and extraordinary knowledge of the market. She was with us every step of the way including some difficult negotiations at the end of the process. We relocated here from out of state and really knew nothing about the area. After getting to know us a little, we did some shopping around and Laura ultimately showed us the perfect location. Laura has extensive contacts in the engineering, surveying, and construction businesses and had lots of great ideas for design and layout.
