Christa And Ralph Morones, a seller from Cambria, CA
We have known of the McKinney family for over 25 years. From our first bed and breakfast stays in Cambria to a garage and deck construction addition to one of our properties to the remodel of our second home and finally to the sale of that same second home. Laura McKinneys husband, Mike, was our connection to her.
When my wife and I started to consider looking for a more suitable property in Cambria, we went to Laura for assistance. Her knowledge of the Village of Cambria is excellent. Though she had suggestions for us to consider, nothing compared to one of our properties with a great ocean view and considerable privacy. So we decided to make that home our second home and sell the first property we purchased here over 25 years ago. We decided to let go of our foot in the door house and concentrate our time in the other house.
Selling the first house was sad but necessary and Laura understood our internal dilemma. We agreed to put the house market and 5 months later it sold.
The entire process was seamless and Laura assured us that someone would fall in love with our little piece of the central coast in Cambria. Eventually her words rang true and 5 months to the day, we closed escrow.
Selling a house that meant so much to us wasnt easy but with Lauras professionalism, knowledgeable and reassurances alleviated our trepidation and concerns. We are grateful to Laura and the Sothebys team for their outstanding efforts and real estate skills.
The sale of my mom's house was quick, but it took longer than we expected. Within a week we had a buyer. The buyer was getting money from outside the US and that took longer than expected. Laura stuck with it every minute to prod the sale along and keep me informed. I am out of state and that was extremely helpful. Thanks Laura for a great job!!!
Im writing to on behalf of the entire Heaton family to express extreme gratitude to you and the entire Mckinney team at Southebys Real Estate who helped to showcase and market our homes and property during a rapidly changing real estate market and helping us patiently navigate through a complicated and extended escrow. We absolutely COULD NOT have closed this high dollar deal without your expert experience, attention to detail and the Grace of God. Thank you from the depth of our hearts and we wish all the best and love to you (all).
I decided to move 175 miles away and buy a new home during the most challenging real estate markets, with sellers receiving multiple offers and buyers paying substantially above asking price. Laura's institutional knowledge of the community I wanted to live in and the market was invaluable. I loved the fact that Laura didn't want to sell me just ANY house, she wanted to sell me the RIGHT house. After working tirelessly with me for over 1 year, Laura finally found it. I am now living in the house I was meant to be in and gained a trusted friend along the way.
Working with Laura was great experience. She listened to what I was looking for, kept me updated on everything and provided me a great education on the different areas of Cambria.
Laura was great to work with. My brother and I have limited Real Estate knowledge and she kept us informed, answered all questions, no matter how dumb they were, keeping us feeling informed and confident throughout the entire process. Her knowledge of the area and the selling/buying trends for the area got us the maximum return we could hope for.
Laura McKinney walked us through the entire transaction from pre listing to the closing with good advice, helpful suggestions and total professionalism. We were thrilled that she made it so easy for us.
We hired Laura to sell our house unde difficult circumstances . My husband was in an acute care facility and therefore my primary concern. Laura went far beyond the norm in getting our house ready for market. We really appreciate her experience, her expertise, and especially her loving care in selling our home. She held our hands and got the job done . We wouldn't hesitate to recommend Laura to anyone looking for a competent, professional, and caring agent .
Of the many reasons why we chose Laura McKinney to sell our property in Cambria, California, one stands out: trust. She was our agent when we bought this same property in 2014, and every step of that transaction was clear, transparent, well informed. After we moved in, she kept in touch to make sure that we had a smooth transition to our new home and neighborhood, which we did. But it goes beyond trust. Laura is energetic, resilient, persistent and determined. That passion is contagious. To summarize, and this is from personal experience. When you list with Laura, start packing right away, because if your property has any chance of selling, she will get it sold. That you can TRUST.
Laura did a fine job presenting an older property that had lots of potential but needed some TLC. Nice photos and virtual tour, which generated several offers from buyers.
We had an outstanding experience in selling our home with Laura McKinney as our agent. She was knowledgeable, professional and experienced in all areas of the home sale. She helped lead us to the correct asking price for our home which sold quickly, with multiple offers, and above asking price! We would highly recommend her as an outstanding agent. Her advise and guidance was invaluable!
