What do Clients Say?

"Laury has helped my wife and me buy and sell two houses already. We would never use anyone else. Her attention to detail is unbelievable. She somehow saves every email and if I cannot locate it, she forwards immediately. That service helps you remain calm in the buying and selling process. She thinks of things to ask we could never have come up with and when selling, she advises you along the way of all the things you need to do to make the house sell quickly. She even put up with me seeing 20 plus properties. Our last home sold in 5 days based on her suggestions. We love her a person, professional and a friend. Thanks Laury!” Jeff & Rebecca Stepp

“Laury was a great partner in our search for a lake house. She knew the market well and found us a fantastic property at great value in what was then a seller’s market. I have recommended Laury to many friends already to date.” Sean Fallmann

"Laury and Vic (Guy) were absolutely the best realtors we have worked with....ever. We have previously sold homes in Florida, Connecticut, Michigan and California using other realtors....can honestly say their company, Living Down South Realty, did a superior job in all aspects of the normally unpleasant task of selling a home. Starting with promptly getting the listing correctly posted and marketed immediately, holding creative open houses, qualifying buyers, fielding offers and negotiating the sale with an easy closing! However, my #1 accolade has to be their communication skills, 100% of all emails, texts and phone calls returned immediately! Simply the best!" - Eric & Jerilyn K

“She helped us rent out our old home & buy a new one, and though we had lost a couple homes in the buying process, Laury persisted and listened beyond what we had asked for, finding the PERFECT home for our growing family. She researches and doesn't cut corners. She will only work with the most ethical contractors, mortgage brokers and consultants in the business. She makes herself available while still taking care of her family, which we honestly respect and admire. Her work speaks for herself, so we were elated to refer her & see 4 more deals come out of our extended family members! You will NEVER regret working with Laury." Aimee & Michael Peters
