David and Lois Baru
We wanted to take a moment to write about our extraordinarily positive experience working with Anne Laughlin. Since we reside in Ann Arbor, MI, Chicago is not our 'home turf.' We looked at properties for about a year before making our choice. During this time, Anne patiently educated us and made the experience of looking for our second home a delightful one. Her incisive yet down to earth style is exactly what we needed and the result is that we found just the right property. Besides being a very nice and easy person to work with, Anne is thoughtful and responsive to the issues important to us, and her follow through is impeccable.
In short, Anne was the ideal person to lead us through this process, and we will not hesitate to recommend her to anyone needing a realtor. |

Anne has a nice, calming demeanor. She provides excellent information about the neighborhood and what to expect, even in this difficult real estate market. She follows up with people and was courteous to my tenants. I enjoyed working with Anne. She was a good sounding board for me, which kept up my confidence in selling the house. |

Anne was the perfect mix of personal and professional. There was no pretense, no affect, just genuine warmth and good humor combined with intelligence and expertise. Anne made a point of both listening to me and guiding me as appropriate. Her commitment to helping me not only find the right property, but doing so in a way that was both fiscally and ethically responsible meant a great deal to me. I trusted her completely, and she never failed me.
Anne was always available to me and handled any blips (and there are always blips!) with equanimity and grace, as well as the perfect mix of patience and urgency, as the situation required. She followed up every question or concern that I had quickly and expertly, shepherding me through all the occasionally Byzantine areas of property purchase in a new state. She executed everything beautifully.
I recommend her highly to anyone selling or buying a home. Anyone would be lucky to work with Anne. |

We really enjoyed working with Anne. She was knowledgeable, professional and prompt. Since we were first time home buyers. We appreciated the time that Anne took to explain the steps of buying a home. With Anne's help, we were able to find a home in a very short amount of time. Anne was a calming influence in our search to find a home before our apartment lease was up. We are very happy with our new home and would recommend Anne without hesitation. Thank you, Anne! |

We were first time home buyers, and while we had done some research about homebuying, we were still pretty overwhelmed by the process. Anne was wonderful to work with. She explained everything all along the way, and was great about taking our feedback and adjusting our search to help us find a place we love. We immediately felt comfortable with her, and trust her completely. Her sense of humor and good nature made working with her a pleasure. |

Anne showed me over 90 condo units before I decided to buy. She was very attentive and I agree with another comment on her web page that she made me feel like her only client. When it's time for me to sell, I will definitely list with her. |

Ella Stauber
Anne was a great agent! She thoroughly explained each step I was going through and each step I would go through. Very much a "no-pressure" agent. She made me feel very comfortable and confident about the decisions I was making. ANd wasn't afraid to steer me in a different direction if need be. The referrals for an attorney and finance person were great. Anne is a great person for first time buyers, like myself, and vets of the buying business alike. |

I am writing to tell you of my deep satisfaction with Anne Laughlin's work for me as an agent. Guided by her sensitivity, skill and professionalism I am now a very happy first time home owner.
From the first, Anne has been helpful and sensitive to my needs, even my unspoken ones. Her attitude is always enthusiastic, full of warmth and good humor. She showed a gift for gently eliciting what I liked and disliked about the different properties she showed me without nudging me into making up my mind prematurely. In Anne I always felt like I had a trusted partner helping me find the property that, well, felt like Home.
Besides sensitivity, Anne also demonstrates great skill and professionalism. Her work with me was always well organized; dates and deadlines were made clear and specific; documents she provided me were always arranged ina useful and understandable way; and she always took care ot send me a copy of anything that she sent to anyone else involved in the deal. Her recommendations helped me put together a wonderful team to get me through the financing process and the closing. Her advice on a mortgage broker, an attorney, and an inspector proved to be right on target in serving my needs, and in all cases were people who made me feel comfortable and safe as I moved through what was for me a completely new, and often unsettling, experience.

Thank you so much for selling our condo! We always felt supported, free to ask questions - you seemed more like a sister than a realtor. |

Easy to establish a pleasant and productive relationship with! Anne was very flexible with exploring other areas beyond Chicago and always sent me listings that correlated with my idea of my “dream home.†She also was very on top of the business aspect of the transaction and kept me well informed. She was very persistent with calling all involved and with getting answers. Anne also seems genuinely happy with her career, excited about showing homes, and definitely was as enthusiastic about me finding the perfect home as I was. I love my home and am very happy with it. I truly believe I would have not found this great house without Anne! She is definitely an asset to your company and I have recommended her services to several people. Thanks!

I just wanted to take the opportunity to thank Coldwell Banker for its assistance in my recent purchase of a condominium. I was extremely impressed by the service provided by Anne Laughlin. She went above and beyond the call in helping me with my first home purchase. Anne was the consummate professional throughout the process. Anne had an uncanny knack for locating properties that exactly suited my needs, and when we found just the right home she was extremely helpful from the first offer through closing. I was on the road through most of the process and Anne made sure that every last detail was taken care of. Even after closing she followed up to make sure that I was happy with my purchase. |

My wife and I had the pleasure of working with Anne for several months this year while she helped us find our first home. After an initial consultation, Anne got a sense of the kinds of places that interested us and searched tirelessly to provide properties for us to tour each weekend. Over the course of several months Anne spent a considerable amount of time working with us. She was kind, patient, courteous, and immediately responsive to our endless inquiries. She provided just the right measure of information and reassurance to guide us through the process, from searching out properties, to securing home financing, to the eventual home closing. I cannot think of anything that Anne doesn't do well. She was exactly what we needed. We have recommended her to many we know, and will seek her services when the time comes to buy or sell a home. |

Just wanted to take a moment to pass alone my experience with your organization during the recent sale of my townhome. I had the pleasure of working with Anne Laughlin. I've owned four homes in three cities and worked with countless realtors. Anne is without question the best I've ever come in contact with. She's professional, knowledgeable, and ethical. Her follow up, all the way down to the smallest details, was impeccable. I never once had to call her before she called me. She provided me with well researched advice during critical decision times and above all, remained calm and confident throughout the process. Anne didn't just sell my house, she managed the process. I will refer Anne to anyone I ever come in contact with that is in need of a realtor. In a time when weak or inexperienced realtors are the norm, Anne's experience, skills, and commitment are a welcome and refreshing change. She's in a league of her own. |

It is not often that one finds an individual who is as hard-working, thoughtful, professional, conscientious, and detail-oriented as Anne is. I don't think a week has gone by when I haven't mentioned what a great real estate agent Anne is to friends and colleagues. |

Anne's approach was straightforward, throughout the whole process she was extremely helpful, always accessible, very attentive to what I did and did not want, very intuitive in picking up my signals even when I had not yet voiced what I did and did not want. She did a great job of coordinating the attorney, the mortgage broker and keeping everyone informed and in line with what they were supposed to be doing. I have now moved into my place, and she still cares enough to call and see how the move was. As far at I am concerned, she had gone above and beyond the call of duty. |

I am writing to tell you what a wonderful experience it was working with Anne Laughlin as our buyers' agent. Anne was never pushy but always available, somehow managing to remain attentive and at the same time easy-going. Within one visit she was able to help us understand the home buying process and what types of properties were available in our price range. As an added bonus, she is an expert on Chicago's Northside neighborhoods, a definite plus in our search. She made what could have been a stressful experience manageable and enjoyable. |

Anne is highly professional. Her knowledge of the Oak Park market was extraordinary. In addition, her follow through knowledge and intuition allowed us to get full price for the sale of our condo in Chicago. We were very happy to work with Anne and would definitely use her to handle a future purchase of real estate. |

Anne Laughlin exceeded my every expectation with the sale of my West Loop condo to the purchase of my Riverwest townhouse. Anne was not only a pleasure to work with, but she also is remarkably dedicated to her clients, extremely professional and incredibly hard working. Thanks to her marketing efforts, my condo went for list price after five days on the market. I have already referred Anne to several others, who now share my enthusiasm and appreciation for Anne's commitment to her clients. |

Dan and Shelly O'Brien
Anne was a tremendous help to us this year. Within six months, Anne sold our two condos and helped us find and purchase our first home. Her knowledge, insight and instincts regarding the Chicago real estate market were highly valuable. With her help, we sold each of our condos within 30 days and, more importantly, for our desired sales prices. Above all, Anne is a consumate professional. She is hardworking, thorough and extremely detail-oriented, which put us at ease during what could have been a stressful time. We give her the highest recommendation possible and, if the situation arises, we will use her again without hesitation. |
