TESTIMONIALS We think we're pretty great, but see what our clients have to say! We worked with Laurie and Andrew Benson to buy a house in San Mateo and are extremely happy with our purchase and the process. The Benson Group was helpful from the onset explaining the different neighborhoods and trade offs between them. When touring houses they were able to give honest assessments about the pros/cons and potential price in a competitive market. We really appreciate how responsive Laurie and Andrew were. Most of our outreach was responded to within a couple of hours if not minutes. Lastly, when we bought our house, the communication didn’t stop, Laurie and Andrew were quick to put us in touch with the service providers we needed to get work done to make our house move in ready. Alissa & Gary S. San Mateo, CA My family and I relocated here from LA for work. We had a very specific home in mind and it took us a long time to find and win our bid in a very challenging real estate market. Laurie worked with us closely the whole time, providing terrific expertise and local insights the whole way through. She provided strong emotional support through the journey, so much so that she became part of the extended family (our kids were always excited to see her!). She and Andrew are extremely professional and you could always be sure that every step of any transaction would be conducted thoroughly, expertly and in a very timely manner. All in all, we are grateful for everything they did to get us situated in our new home and would highly recommend them to others. Jess & Romy L. Burlingame, CA I initially met Laurie 10 years ago when I first bought my house and had an outstanding experience with her team. Therefore when I was looking to sell, her team was the first team that came to mind. Trust is essential (when choosing a real estate agent) to handle the complex and often stressful process of buying or selling a home. With a real estate market that is constantly changing it is important to find the right team who knows the current trends to capitalize on every opportunity. I couldn’t ask for a better team than Laurie and Andrew. From the moment I reached out to them you could tell they had a level of expertise, knowledge, and professionalism that far exceeded other agents in the area. I was impressed with the utilization of all technology available by their team in facilitating a smooth, efficient close. I wasn’t seen as just a “transaction” to them, they were attentive and made me feel like a part of “their family” each and every step of the way. Kevin W. South SF, CA We worked with Laurie when we purchased our home in Montara, California in 2014. She did such a great job then that we asked Laurie and her business partner Andrew to work with us when it came time to sell that house in April 2018. We started the process months in advance of listing, and during that time Laurie and Andrew came to our house to meet with us several times to discuss the market, next steps, visit comparable properties, etc. When the time to sell arrived, Laurie and Andrew coordinated every aspect including photos, promotional materials, inspections, staging and pricing and at each step kept up a steady line of communication. The house was listed on the exact day we had agreed upon and within a few hours we had an offer that was significantly above asking price - the home sold before a single open house was held! Laurie and Andrew were even present during the final clean-up of the house to make sure that everything was ready to go prior to closing. The Benson Group are consummate professionals and folks that we are happy to consider our friends. Work with them and don't worry, be happy! Jay & Maria Montara, CA Truly a remarkable experience. Laurie and Andrew are true pro's and partner's in the home buying process. She and her team worked relentlessly to find us a great home. Always proactive, diligent, and thoughtful- they are the kind of people you want as a partner when going through the process. They exceeded our expectations and we would highly recommend them to friends and family. David & Cameron G. Tiburon, CA ◄ 1 / 1 ► Please reload
