Hank And Jessica Dewitt, a buyer from San Marcos, TX
Laura and her team are outstanding. Not only does she have incredible knowledge of the market, she is a fabulous facilitator! She responded to any and all questions quickly, even the ones that might seem silly! I never felt as though I was a burden to her, even when I would text her in the early morning or the late evening hours. She was always optimistic and encouraging and made the process of buying a second home feel like a breeze. Work with Laura...you won't regret it!

Phuong Thornton, a seller from Austin, TX
Laura is top notch. She knows the Austin real estate market and offers good sound advice when it comes to listing/selling your property. She has contractors to help with any kind of improvements or repairs that might be needed before listing and offers sound advice on what is or is not important to help you obtain top dollar for your property. Laura held multiple open houses and posted our listing on social media to generate lots of traffic. All of this effort helped us sell our property for a higher price than similar properties in the neighborhood. She's accessible and communicates often with the client. If you are looking to buy or sell, give Laura a call, you won't be disappointed.

Maribelle Hidalgo, a seller from Kyle, TX
Laura previewed homes for us while were still in Colorado - she took video after video! She has a wealth of knowledge about the area and the builders. We viewed countless homes from Elgin to Canyon Lake and everywhere in between. She was always prompt in returning our calls and messages. She guided us in every step of the process and answered all of our questions. She was a Godsend and went above and beyond our expectations. I would highly recommend Laura for any of your real estate needs! We are so grateful for you Laura!!

Marisa Dominguez, a seller from Buda, TX
Laura was a great realtor. She is patient and was good to me and family. She gave us good Positive Energy when we felt down at times she knew how to fit us up again. Thank you Laura for selling our home and getting us into a beautiful place

P Dunham, a seller from Buda, TX
Laura's knowledge and professionalism was evident from start to finish. She did everything in her power to keep this transaction moving forward and always kept us informed on the progress. If integrity and fantastic service is what you're looking for, look no further than Laura OBrien!

Stacy Diaz-Jenkins, a seller from Buda, TX
Laura was supportive and so helpful with the sale of our home.

Samuel Lamas, a buyer from Buda, TX
Laura was a breeze to work with, she is down to earth and enjoyable to be around. But she goes to work for her clients, she was ready to see homes when we were and was patient all while being direct with her communication when things needed to get done. She is knowledgeable about the Buda area which made the selection process easier. We would definitely recommend her!

Philip Jones, a seller from Buda, TX
Laura O'Brien is good at selling houses, but she is not an aggressive, fast-talking wheeler-dealer AT ALL. She is an excellent listener, knowledgeable about the market and the process, never put any pressure on us, was completely honest, and generous as well. The stager and photographer she paid for out of her own pocket are both good at their jobs, and the result was an attractive listing that generated lots of visits to the house. Laura followed up on every lead and every expression of interest, and did a thoroughly professional job, from start to finish. Selling a house we have lived in for decades is naturally stressful, but working with Laura took a lot of the stress out of it. We got her name from friends who had worked with Laura to sell their house, and they steered us rights!

Anonymous, a seller from Buda, TX
We recently sold our home of almost 34 years and couldn't have asked for a better, more professional agent than Laura O'Brien. Not only is Laura excellent at her job but she is so easy to work with and we never felt any kind of pressure, even before we hired her, to do anything that made us feel uncomfortable. She worked hard to get lots of showings and open houses and always kept us informed about the results. She's also tech savvy which is imperative these days. If you need a good, capable, and caring agent hire Laura!

Steve Rentschler, a buyer from Buda, TX
Laura was great throughout the whole experience of buying my new home! It got extremely stressful when the interest rates shot up and I had to sell my place in a short amount of time and Laura gave me much needed advice on selling my place with care and understanding of my frustration with the situation. She was also able to get the builder to drop an extra 10K. I highly recommend Laura as she was caring, trust worthy, knowledgeable, and a great negotiator! And even after closing, shes still helping me out with anything that I need help or advice on.

Adriana Leal, a buyer from Seguin, TX
Laura helped us buy our new home. Her advice and support through the closing was invaluable. She was polite, available, friendly and knowledgeable. She has also offered assistance after the closing for anything questions we may have after we moved to the new house.

Donald Alanis, a seller from Elgin, TX
Laura is knowledgeable and was with us every step.

James Torrey, a seller from Austin, TX
Laura is absolutely amazing to work with!! When you are stressed, she is calm. When you are uncertain, she is confident. When you are ignorant, she is a wealth of knowledge. When you have questions, she gets answers.

Laura is always and only about her clients (whom she makes feel like family). So appreciate working with her!

David And Natalie Farber, a seller from Kyle, TX
Laura went above and beyond in helping us sell our house in a difficult market. Her creative marketing skills and attention to detail are incredible. Laura will be there when you need her! I recommend her without reservation to anyone buying or selling your home.

Terrence Rodgers, a buyer from Buda, TX
Laura worked with me when we discussed what I was looking for. She was patient and shared her knowledge of the area. I am so fortunate to have a realtor like this.

Vickie Alanis, a seller from Elgin, TX
Laura OBrien is a wonderful realtor and knowledgeable and kept us in the loop through the whole process. I would highly recommend her to hep anyone sell or buy a house!

Nick, a buyer from Austin, TX
Laura knew our wants and needs and delivered. Always quick to respond and guided us through the home buying process smoothly.

Anonymous, a buyer from Buda, TX
Laura OBrien was an expert in every question we had about selling and buying our homes. She is professional and kind. She listens to you with every detail you could provide, and is incredibly empathic.

Matthew Smith, a buyer from Leander, TX
Were so grateful we found Laura. We were looking for a home from out-of-state and Laura helped us identify the right areas, make informed offers, and even filmed homes for us to give us a virtual open house experience when we couldnt be in town to look in person. Were so happy with the home she found for our family. I highly recommend Laura!

Robert And Krisylla Ruiz, a seller from New Braunfels, TX
We cannot say enough good things about Laura. She helped us find our dream home and was there ever single step of the building process. She was there to help with every question and concern we had. She truly went above and beyond for us. Even after closing she was still there for us to make sure we were truly happy with our new home! Laura is not just our realtor, she became our friend. She puts her heart and soul into her job to make sure her clients are taken care of. If you or anyone you know needs a realtor, you need to choose Laura. I promise you wont regret it!

Heather Nicholson, a seller from Seguin, TX
Laura was the person we found by accident six years ago and whom helped me find and buy my first house. A house that wasn't even part of her area at the time. Six years later, I find out she's expanded and she's able to once again help me out, but this time with selling the house. She was well informed, helpful, communicative, and just a great person. She was even able to connect me with a realtor in MN whom was just as helpful for buying my new home. 100% recommend this woman.

Vu Do, a buyer from Kyle, TX
Her recommendation was true.

Monic S Shern, a buyer from Buda, TX
Laura was a awesome realtor. She walked us every step of the way and advised on questionable moments. Thank You for everything and all your help.

N Baird, a buyer from Buda, TX
Even though we purchased our home through a builder and that process is pretty streamlined, Laura made sure she was involved every step of the way and was always able to answer our questions or dig into any concerns we had (even during a pandemic)! A whole year later and we still have great contact with her! Her follow through is awesome, given the fact that shes sent us a reminder about needing to file for our Homestead Exemption this month, which I wouldve totally forgotten on my own.

If youre looking for a kind, knowledgeable, and dedicated realtor Laura and her team are it!

Anonymous, a seller from Buda, TX
I already knew Laura O'Brien and have the greatest respect for her knowledge of and experience in the real estate market. She has developed impressive skills and can assist both buyers and sellers. Laura has become skilled in assessing real estate situations, sharing the information with her customers, and guiding them to make necessary decisions while not dictating what a particular decision should be. Laura is highly professional and my number one choice when I need assistance.

Colin Burgos, a buyer from Buda, TX
We live out of town and Laura worked her schedule to accommodate our timeline and schedule. She found us our dream lot to build on and, most importantly, made sure we closed! She was pleasant to be around and made the entire process a lot of fun.

Jelani Smith, a seller from Buda, TX
Laura is really the best they come!! We live out of town, so Laura was more to us than just a real estate agent. She was our agent, our contractor, our designer and best of all she was like a friend all the way through this experience. The counseled us on the market status and was thee all the way to closing. If you are looking for someone that will go beyond the norm, then Laura is definitely the one. We're so grateful to have met and worked with her.

Anonymous, a buyer from Bastrop, TX
Laura was knowledgeable and was there every step of the way during my first home buying experience. Even after I closed on my new home she was still there to offer guidance and assist with any questions I had. I recommend her to anyone buying a new home!

Johnathan Rosa, a seller from Buda, TX
I can't begin to truly review how amazing our sale with Laura was. Her attention to detail if above any I have seen. She made a stressful move and selling our home
such a pain free relaxing experience. She was so knowledgeable and throughout the sale ensured everything went as smooth as possible. Laura truly loves what she does and it shows. My only issue is after seeing what a great job she did for us no one can meet our expectations now. We have used several realtors for buying and selling but no one comes close to the care we had with Laura. I have referred her to my friends and everyone says the same thing, she is simply the best in the business.

Brad Heckler, a buyer from Buda, TX
I had never worked with Laura before when buying my new home, but she helped me through the Home For Heroes process since I am a teacher. She came to every walk through of my property & came to the closing. In the year after my closing, she was always easily accessible to answer questions about property taxes & other items that came up I wasn't sure about. She doesn't just collect the check & never check back with you. She really does earn your trust & business.

Mary Kathleen Smith, a seller from Austin, TX
Laura O'Brien is a top notch realtor. She is extremely knowledgeable, a great communicator, and more to the point, efficient and meticulous. She knows the real estate market, what is possible and how to work with the seller and buyer so we all have a satisfactory experience. In today's crazy market, Laura is level headed and guides the seller in all the details of a home sale.

It was wonderful that Laura has a long list of trades people to fix the last minute details in getting the home ready for the market, especially when worker and supplies are both in short supply.

My home sold in less than a week on the market, and Laura knew how to ensure that the buyers were qualified to purchase, and all the legal details were quickly and neatly taken care of.

You can not go wrong working with Laura and her team.

Abel Ortiz, a buyer from Kyle, TX
Laura is the best person you could have on your side when buying or selling. We are happy with our new home.

Rudy Franco, a buyer from Kyle, TX
Laura is professional and answered all our questions during the process. She is a kind, caring, person. I would recommend her to anyone selling or buying a home. She will guide you through it all. I even asked for decoration tips and she helped.

Meaghan Aguirre, a buyer from Hays, TX
Laura is a hardworking, skillful, honest agent. She went over and beyond what she had to do for us. She also has a great eye for design! She is quick to answer questions and if she does not have an answer she will get them in a timely manner. She is patient and so knowledgeable. We will definitely use her again and I highly highly recommend her.

John M., a buyer from Buda, TX
Coming from another state, we were in a pinch to find a place quickly so we could move our two young children out to be with us. Laura understood this and was always one step ahead of us and while managing other clients, we never felt neglected or that we were missing out on touring a new home. Looking at new construction and different neighborhoods, Laura knew the answers to almost every question we threw at her and found answers quickly for anything she needed to confirm. When it came time to placing and negotiating our offer, she remained on top of it and continued to follow up after we closed and moved in. There are a lot of little things we noticed in how she went above and beyond too. One example was having our lawn mowed right before we moved in. Thank you Laura!!!

Robert And Krisylla Ruiz, a seller from Kyle, TX
Laura is the most helpful and caring realtor ever. My husband and I can be pretty picky and difficult to work with but she is always there to help and to make sure our needs are met!

Melissa Buchholtz, a seller from Buda, TX
I am so glad we found Laura. She is super knowledgeable, and was there whenever I had any questions or concerns. Laura has a natural gift of insight and she respects her clients. When only working with her in the first couple few days she actually knew what I would like in a home and wouldnt. I was impressed with that. Although that sounds easy, Ive worked with realtors who didnt seem to grasp from what I shared with them the type of home I was looking for. Mrs. OBrien goes above and beyond. She considers every single thing you inform her of and takes it from there, resulting in such a wonderful, professional and smooth experience. Shes really great at what she does and we definitely will be using her again! After she helped to sell our home she found our next one and we loved it! We couldnt be happier, thank you so much Laura!

Dina Nall, a seller from Kyle, TX
Laura and the Modern Roots team was absolutely incredible. We used them for both the sale of our former home and the purchase of our new home. Despite several speedbumps and some hurdles along the way, the gals remained steady and positive throughout. They were always quick to answer questions and were knowledgeable about staging, selling, buying, and other miscellaneous things that usually aren't in a realtors' wheelhouse. We wouldn't have made it through the selling and buying process without them and won't ever use another realtor.

Jahaira Galvan, a buyer from Converse, TX
Excellent customer service she goes above and beyond for u and will help u find your perfect home even in this crazy market.

Mark Chavis, a seller from Kyle, TX
She is the greatest and always has my best interest at heart. My needs and concerns are priority over everything else. Just amazing. This is why I am buying my fourth house with her next month.
