Laura did a great job evaluating our parents home, the market and what a fair price might be. She was wonderful coordinating and guiding us through the process ultimately finding the right buyer and helping us to sell our parents home. She was extremely reachable whenever we needed to talk or had questions and she was timely with her answers and advice. Laura made the process much easier than if we had tried to do it ourselves. Thank you Laura. 2024

Laura was AMAZING!! Her knowledge of the local market and buyers was extremely helpful in things like setting and modifying sell price, timing, etc. She guided us through the negotiations with the seller, repair list, etc. and we couldn't have gotten through the process without her and her team. Laura and her team were exceptionally responsive to any of our inquiries or needs going over and above in my mind. Kelly and I will be returning to Eastern Tennessee and Laura will definitely be our contact for real estate. Consider this as a full-throated, unequivocable endorsement of Laura and her team!! 2023
Definitely would use and/or recommend Laura! She helped us sell our home quickly and ensured we got great multiple offers when we worried that the market was slowing down. She listens carefully to her client's needs, manages the details and helps them thru the process smoothly and efficiently. Really appreciated her (and her team's) responsiveness and helpful approach. Also, really appreciated her insights and knowledge about the real estate market as we had questions during the process. Final points - professional, experienced, pleasant to work with and easy to reach. She understands customer service and real estate! 2022
Laura and her team marketed and sold our Mother's home (of 48 years) after she passed away in early September. It couldn't have been a more seamless process working with them. Laura and Debbie were extremely professional! They did a great job of accommodating us "out-of-towners" by offering their estate sale services and opportunity to attend a remote closing. We so appreciate their diligence, followup and their respect for our family. Many Thanks Slyman Team, The Tarn Family 2022
Laura was great to work with. She explained the process and answered all of our questions. Our house was under contract within 2 days and sold in 1 month. I defintely recommend anyone to hire Laura as their agent. 2022
Extremely pleased with Laura and team. Entire process was efficient, quick and professional. From listing the house to actual sale happened quickly. Highly recommend Laura and team. 2022
Laura has super marketing skills and resources. She was responsive to all our questions, no matter how small. She kept us well informed both through text messages as well as her weekly email update. She uses all the latest technology and it was easy for us to access. I enjoyed working with her and although I hope I don't move again anytime soon, I highly recommend her to anyone who is in the market for a great agent. 2022
I cannot recommend Laura and her team enough! We were having to sell my Dad's house after having to move him to memory care, so it was an emotional sale. There were many things to take care of, and we ran into hiccups along the way. Laura was fantastic to help us navigate everything we needed from a house cleaning team to movers. She is the perfect combination of professional and personable. 2021
Laura is amazing! My previous realtor drastically under valued my property so I went to her and she sold it for me within 72 hours of listing for $20,000 OVER the list price. I live overseas so she did everything for me to ensure that everything went smoothly and we closed one month later. Highly recommended! 2021

We're so thankful that we chose Laura as our realtor. Thanks to her recommendations on how to prepare our home for sale, her marketing expertise, and her knowledge of the Knox County housing market, we sold our home in one day! The first showing resulted in an offer above asking price and we closed on time, above asking. Laura made the house selling process far less stressful than we'd imagined (we hadn't moved in 26 years) and was so easy to work with. We highly recommend Laura Slyman to anyone who wants to sell or buy a home in East Tennessee. 2021
We are pleased to recommend Laura Slyman as an exceptional realtor for purchasing or selling real estate. We contracted with Laura to (1) sell our home in Oak Ridge, TN; and (2) to purchase a property in Knoxville, Tn. On both contracts, she performed with unmatched efficiency. Her drive, her helpful attitude in this period of COVID-related challenges, her availability at all hours, her robust technical assessments on pricing levels of various properties we explored, as well as her supporting team were truly outstanding. We will recommend her without hesitation to family and friends.
Laura was fantastic every step of the way. When we first decided to look for a new house, she was there immediately to take a look at our current house and help us start looking. She was helpful in answering all of our questions while helping us sell our old house while also buying our new one. If youre looking for a realtor in the Knoxville area, I would highly recommend Laura! 2020
Laura helped me to find the perfect house in the area I was really hoping to be in! She guided me through the process, answering all my questions along the way and always making me feel at ease. From searching to negotiating to closing the sale, she was always right on top of everything. I couldn't more highly recommend a realtor! 2020
We highly recommend Laura Slyman as a knowledgeable, honest, hard-working real estate agent in the Knoxville area. Laura listed and sold our house in Whittington Creek in September 2020. We hired her as our listing agent after a terrible Realtor experience just prior to that. It was such a pleasant experience to work with Laura from start to finish. She was honest and told us what our house needed in order to catch the eye of potential buyers. She told us in a way that was kind but direct and ended up resonating with potential buyers. Laura staged our house after we completely moved out and provided some amazing marketing material of our home. The marketing material was accessible outside of the house, inside the house, as well as online. She has a lot of contacts and a great reputation in the area, which we saw were put to use by the large amount of foot traffic we had in the first hours of being listed. We loved her honesty, her directness, and her willingness to work hard for her clients. Laura invested in us and our listing, not only through marketing, but through hiring a stager and getting opinions on what would help the sale of our property. This was truly a team effort between Laura and us in the sale of our home, and for that we were grateful and appreciative. 2020
Laura and her staff were most professional and always maintained the highest professionalism and integrity in representing us. Great local knowledge and consistent service. Great job Laura !! 2020
Laura demonstrated she is an expert in her field. She guided me through the process seamlessly. She was patient and answered all my questions completely . I felt Laura listened to me and understood my goals. Her professionalism and knowledge are on point. I 100% recommend Laura and her team. 2020
Over the years Ive participated in at least 60 real estate transactions and can say that Laura Slyman is right at the top in her profession. Knowledgeable, perceptive, thorough, gracious and one who goes above and beyond are all attributes she demonstrated in the marketing and sale of my most recent home. If youre looking for a real estate professional I can definitely recommend Laura Slyman. 2020
We were happy to have someone with vast expertise in the industry such as Laura Slyman. She and her office were able to help us through a few issues during the closing process which was a stress reliever since we'd never sold a home before. She was able to keep us abreast of any buyer concerns and any issues needing our attention. She fought for our needs. She was able to give us an honest market review on our home and get our asking price based on those reviews. She is efficient, honest, knowledgeable, and hard-working. We would gladly recommend her and her office to anyone selling or buying in the Knoxville area. 2020
Laura far exceeded my expectations from the initial interview to the closing. She made the entire process easy for me and had the house sold the day of listing. Laura is awesome and I highly recommend her if you are selling or buying a home! 2020
Laura was recommended to us through friends. I am so glad we used her to sell our home. The pictures and marketing for our home surpassed our expectations. Laura was honest and always available when we had questions. She was knowledgeable about the market and we got more than we thought for our home. She kept us in the loop during negotiations and the closing process. Laura is a great realtor to work with. She isnt selfish or looking out for herself. She really does want the best for her client. She was a true asset to have on our team. We even used her two years later to sell two vacant lots. 2018
There are so many things to consider when choosing a real estate agent when selling your home and Laura has it all.
Market Expertise: Laura knew the current real estate climate and knew the area that my home was located in was hot. She felt confident that we could list my home for even more than I anticipated. And we ended up with multiple offers OVER asking price!
Process expertise: Trusting your realtor is key! I knew from the beginning that Laura and I were on the same page and that she had my back. She guided me through every step and bump along the way. Her expertise gave me confidence that I was making the right moves and getting the best deal possible.
Responsiveness: I have bought and sold a few homes and worked with several realtors in the area. I have never been 100% satisfied with communication until I worked with Laura (and her assistant, Debbie). They go above and beyond my expectations!
Negotiation Skills: From negotiating the buyer's offer to responding to the the inspector's report, (and all the small stuff in between), I am glad I had Laura in my corner! She is knowledgeable and well respected in the community and her negotiation skills are on point.
I found Laura through a Google search and read some positive reviews and went for it. I'm so glad that I did! You will not regret partnering with her for your real estate needs. 2020
Laura sold our home for full listing price. Her steady, confident and positive demeanor put us at ease and helped us remain confident as well. She truly knows real estate, knows the processes, and most importantly, knows how to get the job done! We couldn't have been more pleased. Anytime we need the services of a realtor, she is the one we will call. Highly recommended! 2020
I cannot say enough good things about Laura and her team! She helped my dad and I with the challenge of selling my parents house after my mother passed away. The house was in disrepair and Laura was able to walk us through the entire process of getting all issues resolved. She was a great advocate for us in dealing with the buyers. She & her assistant Debbie were in constant contact and I never felt out of the loop on anything. I'm grateful that what was a difficult situation was made better by such a caring team. 2020
Only wish there were more stars to give this amazing young woman! She knows her clients and knows the market. With her expertise , negotiations happen smoothly 2020
Laura Slyman was such a pleasure to work with! Ive purchased two houses with her and sold one. She was so patient with me when purchasing. Being a first time home buyer Laura walked me through the process and let me know what next steps were and helped me stay in budget. The second time around, I was only semiserious about looking and would find random houses I wanted to see. She always made time for me and helped me stay focused on what I really wanted in a house. When I finally found the house, she helped me navigate my offer with a not-so-motivated seller. Then came time to sell. When I sold, the housing market was crazy chaotic. So many showings, lots of offers/ contracts, lots of coordinating for inspections, repairs, etc. to get to closing. Laura was there every step of the way to help! I cant thank her enough. I would recommend Laura to all of my family and friends! 2020
Laura was so easy to work with and sold our home quick in a tough market. I would highly recommend Laura. She did not let any obstacle get in the way of the sell of our home and we had a few. We have bought/sold over 10 homes and she is by far the best real estate agent we have worked with. Lance
Laura is the best around! She sold our house in one day with multiple offers and for over asking price. She was available anytime during the process to answer questions and keep us updated on our next steps. She always had a positive attitude and made this process so easy for us. The photos she had taken for our house were stunning which made our listing stand apart from others. We highly recommend Laura and her team for anyone that is looking for a stress-free experience. 2020
Laura is as good as a realtor as I can imagine and probably a better one than I deserve. Super knowledgeable, quick to help and at all times made it clear that my own interests were being served.
I can see how it could be easy to take advantage of someone in this industry and it was refreshing to know that Laura was on my side. Got me all kinds of deals and made sure that not only did I get the house that I wanted, but that it was clean and in perfect working order the day I moved in. Can't thank her and her team enough for all their hard work ! 2019

Laura sold my house the first day with multiple offers. She is super knowledgeable about the market and priced my house right and sold it above list. A lot of realtors will price high and youll lose all the momentum and could cause you to miss your buyer. I highly recommend Laura Slyman for all your real estate needs... this is the 12th home she has sold for me. 2019
Laura did a fantastic job of selling our home, and it sold in one week for our full asking price! I would recommend Laura to anyone needing to sell their home! 2019
Laura is a top notch, high quality agent who has helped us sell multiple properties. Shes the only person I would use or recommend to market and sell a home!! She is responsive and makes her self available to answer even the smallest questions. 2019
Laura is a total professional and made selling my house less complicated than I could've ever imagined. She insured that I got a quick response to any questions that I had on getting my house ready to sell to the actual close. Can't thank her enough for handling my sale so efficiently. 2019
We have were extremely pleased with the service that Laura and her office gave us. The house was under contract within 4 days. This was a unusual property we sold also. The bank had a hard time to even find someone who was willing to appraise it. But Laura and her team did everything right and we had multiple showings within hours of the property being listed. We highly recommend Laura Slyman . 2019
Laura has helped me with the purchase and sell of over 10 properties. She knows the market frontwards and backwards. I would never use another agent... and if you do, sorry! 2019
After a couple of hiccups with the first buyers financial issues, Laura assured me another buyer would come along quickly... and sure enough only a couple days later I was back under contract and closed only a week later than the first contract date. She is a rockstar and can turn your for sale to sold in a matter of days! 2019
We purchased a flipped house managed by Dominique Oro. Jarrod Cruze was the listing agent and Laura Slyman the broker. All part of Slyman Real Estate. The house was advertised move in ready and they asked us to sign as is. Life while living the home was a nightmare for us. Something we seen as disastrous happened every week. We personally feel we may never recover the losses from buying the house. Our lives have been so impacted that we think of each of these individuals and it has been over a year. We easily believe the psychological impact the house had on us is even greater than our financial burden. And that says a lot because we spent our whole life savings on that house. 2018
I highly recommend Laura Slyman and her team. She is knowledgeable, accommodating and has great local expertise. After interviewing many agents to sell our first home in Knoxville, we moved out of state and eventually moved back to Knoxville. When moving back to Knoxville we used her 3 additional times to purchase and sell a home and for another purchase. She is great!! 2017
We chose to work with Laura because the houses in our neighborhood with Laura Slyman signs in the yard seemed to sell significantly faster than other houses. With Laura's marketing and pricing, our house sold in just over 30 days! The agent for our buyers was new in the business and Laura had to step in and manage the process from start to finish. Without her help, things would not have gone as smoothly as they did. Laura was always professional, open and honest with us. She managed our expectations and communicated quickly and clearly. We will absolutely use Laura again. 2012
Laura recently was my agent in the buying of my condo and the selling of my house. She and her associates were an energetic, personable and totally professional team quick to respond to any questions that I had as a buyer and a seller. I've been pleased to recommend Laura's high degree of professionalism to family and friends at any opportunity. 2019
I highly recommend Laura as she was extremely helpful on selling our existing home and helping us find the perfect new home for our family. She worked with us to determine the best price to ask for our home, what we needed to do to prepare to sell, and made the whole process quick and easy. The photos she had taken for our online listing were extremely well done, making our home look bright and roomy which gained immediate interest with two showings within an hour of it being posted. She sold our house for asking price in 3 days! She worked with us to find our perfect home and negotiated a great price with the additional items we were requesting. And she has continued to work with us past the sell/purchase to help resolve any needs for both the home we sold and the one we purchased. She has been fully involved in the whole process to ensure we had the best buying experience. I really dreaded the idea of selling and buying a home but Laura made it seamless and easy. HIGHLY RECOMMEND! 2019
We used Laura to sell our house when moving out of town. She had it sold in less than 3 days and it was smooth and as stress free as selling a house can be! We would highly recommend her. 2019
Laura was knowledgeable and helpful in everything we needed. She helped us through the ups and downs of selling and buying our home and I can honestly say that I would never work with another realtor now. She was absolutely the BEST! 2019
Laura was excellent. I recommend her to anyone buying or selling in the Knoxville area. She listened to all of our concerns. She was also honest with us about price and things we should do to get a better price. 3 full price offers on the first day!! Thanks Laura! Can't wait to come back to Knoxville and use you again. 2019
Laura is excellent. She helped us sell our house for more than we expected and extremely quickly! Her posting and amazing photos of our home brought in tons of interested buyers. You wont go wrong with Laura and Slyman real estate. Simply the best. Thank you Laura! 2018
Laura and her team are the best. Laura is the hardest working real estate agent in Knoxville. From buying to selling you cannot go wrong with Laura she knows it all and gets amazing results fast! 2018
Laura was extremely professional. She was quick to respond to questions and offer advice. She offered a level of marketing not offered by many other realtors, which resulted in my house being sold quickly. She is also a kind and caring person. She goes above and beyond! I would highly recommend her to anyone needing a realtor. 2018
My house sold the FIRST day it was on the market! For OVER the asking price. In fact, she had two people fighting over the property. I only owned the house for 15 months and still made a profit. Laura is the perfect blend of personal and professional and I cannot recommend her highly enough. Selling a home while building another can be so stressful and Laura did a fabulous job of making a stressful project as stress free as possible. 2018
I cannot write enough good things about Laura. I am a local investor and I use Laura for all my transactions. Would never even consider another agent. Her and her team are simply the BEST. 2018
Laura was amazing. We werent even sure if our property would sell because of our location and price point. Laura got our home sold in 3 months- start to finish! Pictures were amazing. She was always available when we needed her. She was aggressive to sell in professional way. Amazing realtor!!! We would recommend her to anyone! 2018
Over the years my family and I have move about 30 times so we have become professionals at this and dealing with realtor agencies and we have enjoyed dealing with Laura so much that we have done homes with Laura over and over again , about 10 times. She and her staff are professional and courteous to your needs either selling or buying!!!! 2018
Laura was an amazing agent to work with in buying my first home. She helped me through the process of finding the perfect house and made me feel at ease throughout. I would work with her again in a heartbeat. 2014
I was looking for a second home because I have relatives that live in Knoxville. Laura was the listing agent for the home on Shipwatch so we contacted her by phone. I explained to her that my wife and I were interested in the home and were in the now, that we were from out of town and had to leave the following day. Unfortunately, she didn't take us as serious buyers and talked down to us. My wife and I were so offended we hung up and told each other that she may have just lost a sale. We were cash buyers and the transaction could have been an easy process. I almost wanted to talk to the owners about what had happened but decided against it. I see the house is still on the market, huh. We moved on with a local realtor that we had used in the past that treats people with respect. 2018
Laura Slyman was our realtor for the first time we sold our house. She guided us through the process and gave us advice every step of the way from preparing to sell our house to showing and then to handling the closing. I don't think we could have sold it without her. We are the types to ask lots of questions and slow to make decisions, but she handled everything gracefully and efficiently. If you use Laura, start packing! 2018
Laura made the home-selling process incredibly easy. Her marketing skills are up-to-date and she produced BEAUTIFUL photos of our home and an impressive walk-through tour. We had more than 15 showings in the six days our home was on the market and two offers to choose from before we even had to have an open house. Laura knew exactly what price point we should aim for and was incredibly helpful and responsive throughout the whole process. I cannot recommend her enough. 2017
