My wife Deirdre and I started the “wonderful” world of relocation last summer. The process seemed to be rather easy seeing that we were relocating only a few hours away from our Williamsburg property to Northern Virginia...so we thought.
Upon driving back and forth (95 ugh) we decided that it was time to hire a professional to help pave the way. This is when we met Laura or “Mayor Laura” as we like to call her. She understood some of our frustrations with time management and ABSOLUTELY maximized every minute we shared with her. Laura didn’t show us homes out of our budget, she didn’t bring us to neighborhoods that wouldn’t fit our lifestyle. No, Laura took the time on the phone and through emails to REALLY get to know us.
Folks, Laura not only showed us houses that we wanted to buy on the spot but talked us out of buying others based on traffic patterns, compliance and future zoning research. She KNOWS Leesburg and Leesburg knows Laura! She introduced us (in person) to restaurant owners, landscaping designers, pediatricians, electricians, plumbers, hair dressers and other contractors that she already vetted for us! I’m sure I could go on and on about “Mayor Laura,” but this testimonial would certainly rival the volume of ‘War and Peace’ so please know this...Laura will listen and give you advice on what you need to hear not what you want to hear. Don’t waste your time shopping for a realtor call Laura!

I have known Laura Maschler since 2006. She has been a trusted real estate advisor and agent, as well as a friend. Over the past 20+ years, I have purchased and sold a variety of properties, both residential and investment, in multiple states and have been represented by or interacted with many agents, but Laura is by and far the best and most effective real estate professional I have used. Laura is not only an excellent realtor, but also is an extremely intelligent and sophisticated business person. She understands and is conversant with contracts, real estate and associated legal terminology, and real estate finance issues. She is hardworking, diligent, and dedicated, going far beyond what normally, or even reasonably, would be expected. Laura excels under difficult and challenging circumstances. She is a skillful negotiator, achieving superb results for her clients. Laura thoroughly knows the market and competing properties. Furthermore, she knows, and is known by, other real estate professionals and enjoys a hard-earned and well-deserved reputation for excellence. Laura always places the interests of her clients first and diligently follows the highest of ethical standards.

Hi Laura, I've been meaning to write to you for ages. I just want to thank you again for helping us to sell our house so quickly.I have been recommending you to everyone I know. From the moment we met you, my husband and I were impressed by your energy, warmth and positive attitude. When we began working with you, it no longer felt like we were beginning a difficult and scary process; it began to be an exciting and wonderful adventure. Laura, you are not only a pleasure to work with, but you are also completely professional, do your homework thoroughly, and aren't afraid to do some of the hard work yourself. You gave us the facts we needed to make important decisions and a very clear idea about what was required to get our house sold in this market. It felt like a true team effort from start to finish.
Of course, when I tell my friends that you sold our house in one day, they are completely bowled over (and so were we!) We are still in touch with the people we sold our home to because, thanks to you, this was a win-win situation for everyone involved. Please feel free to use this letter as a reference or in your advertising and to give my name and telephone number to potential clients. Again, thank you for everything and all the best to you and your family.
