Laurie's recommendations were very helpful as we prepared our property to sell. Her knowledge on marketing techniques helped us to sell our house quickly and above asking price. I would definitely use her again.

Laurie works hard for her clients and it shows! I worked with Laurie during a recent transaction; she was well versed on the home she was listing and facilitated the transaction as needed. Looking forward to the next one!

Laurie is A Diamond in the Rough! A Cut Above!
My initial conversation with Laurie was unrelated to buying or selling a home, but by the end of our phone call I did express a future interest in listing my home when “the time was right”.
Although this interest was shared, at no time thereafter did Laurie make repeated calls to me or pressure me to list my home on a timeline other than my own. Not only a pleasant surprise, given the high pressure world we live in, but a direct result of Laurie’s confidence in her abilities and the high level of professionalism she possesses.
When I did decide to sell our home, it was without reservation that Laurie was trusted to be the person to navigate the process. Her advanced expertise, network of contacts and knowledge of the market allowed for a seamless transaction.
She exceeded our expectations and is in a class above the rest!

Laurie Kane is wonderful to work with. She has all the qualities you need and want in your realtor. Laurie is responsive, always has your best interests in mind, professional and works around the clock so you don’t have to! We have bought and sold with her on two separate occasions. Both transactions we received the best value for our money and the closings were smooth and timely. We will continue to use her for all our real estate transactions! If you want the best you must go with Laurie!

Laurie is absolutely fantastic! We were first-time homebuyers and she alleviated any stress, questions, and confusion before we could even have any. She was timely, proactive, and made sure every box was checked in order to make sure we were getting the best experience possible. We completely trusted everything she said and every piece of guidance that she suggested to us. She is extremely professional and is "by the book", which completely works in favor of her clients. She will advocate for her clients and make sure they are getting what they want/deserve out of the transaction. She certainly does her job very well and we could not have been happier to have her on our team. In addition, Laurie is personable, kind, and genuine with her clients and truly cares about their satisfaction with their home. We never felt pressured, we had open lines of communication, and she listened to what we had to say. We could go on and on, but she made our first-time experience a fantastic one. The home buying process is extremely consuming, detailed, and can be overwhelming. I honestly don't know what we would have done if Laurie was not there to walk us through every step and handle the "business" side of things. We felt confident in her representing us and never questioned or had to worry about the process. My only wish is that we didn't find our "forever" home so quickly so that we could use Laurie over and over again!

There’s something to be said about someone who has the genuine ability to alter your life in a positive way. THAT is what Laurie Kane did for our family.

In a time where people have the ability to “call it in,” it’s rare to work with people who highlight the core of their character as a grounding and guiding feature for a successful career. Character, follow-through, technical ability and deeply genuine people skills are some of the characteristics of what makes someone great, irregardless of their profession. Those are the characteristics we sought out in a real estate agent. And those are the characteristics that not only landed us in front of Laurie, but that won us the PERFECT home in a market where it’s typical to go against 15+ offers, have to go over asking and deal with a litany of cash-buyers waiting to stomp you out of the running at any moment. That’s what defines a great agent; someone who uses those characteristics to help someone—someone without Goliath leverage, buckets of cash or years of real estate experience and give them a leg up to win the home that they will build memories in.

My wife and I have been renters for far longer than we’d like to admit. We’ve raised a 7-year old in 2 apartments on 2 different coasts. And while home-ownership DOES NOT define who we are or our self-worth, it does provide a home-base for all the moments we share together. It becomes a vehicle for building wealth. It takes on the role of shelter, yet also becomes a metaphorical safe haven during times of need. Our homes become a time-capsule for all that we become while living there. It’s not just an investment. It’s personal. Laurie understood that and fought for us to own it. We were discerning buyers with a needle-in-the-haystack vision and she found the needle.

We can't thank her enough and we highly recommend Laurie when you’re looking for your home!

We interviewed 3 realtors to sell our home of 30 years. We selected Laurie because we felt she would do the best job of maximizing the price of the sale of our house.
She came prepared on the 1st meeting with market analysis of comparable houses to ours which impressed us and we felt that she was the most qualified of the 3 sales people we interviewed.

Laurie did an excellent job of guiding us through the process of preparing the house for showings, getting all the minutia of what needed to be done organized and completed very quickly and presenting our house on line and in person.

Laurie's handling of the contract negotiations helped us get above asking price by 30K. She was very sensitive to the attachment we had to our home of 30 years and guiding us through the selling process for which we are very grateful.

I would highly recommend Laurie to anyone that wants a no nonsense salesperson to handle the sale of their home! Thanks Laurie!

Laurie Kane is an exceptional realtor and I strongly recommend using Laurie for your real estate needs. Laurie helped us every step of the way in navigating a very difficult real estate market and we are truly grateful that we chose to work with her! Laurie is incredibly dedicated, a tireless worker, responsive and a very strong advocate for her clients. We relocated from the Boston area looking to purchase our first home and her local expertise, knowledge of the real estate market and relentlessness is what helped us in securing the home of our dreams! Laurie is the best real estate agent in Avon!

Best Realtor in Avon!

I am a first-time homeowner and recently closed on a property with Laurie as my agent.
At the beginning of my real estate search, I had no ties to Hartford or Connecticut and initially felt quite anxious at the prospect of purchasing. Additionally, I’m a military veteran and had several specific questions on how to best utilize my benefits during this process. Fortunately, an acquaintance of mine recommended Laurie to me, as she had been his real estate agent when he made a similar move a year ago.

Aside from the glowing recommendation I had received from my classmate, what attracted me to Laurie was her positive reviews, as well as diverse portfolio of previous listings. Laurie represents clients buying/selling properties that are as modest as $260k to upwards of $1.7m. As someone looking for a single-family home in a quiet residential neighborhood, I still genuinely felt that Laurie treated me as if I was buying a multimillion-dollar property.

What I know now, but had little understanding of initially, is that Laurie is a Certified Residential Specialist (CRS), as well as a Seller Representative Specialist (SRS). As such, she is extremely familiar with the minute roles of both agents. This made her especially well-equipped to navigate any challenges we faced as a team when pursuing the home I wanted. Her assertive and direct approaches with the seller’s agent were all the more impressive when compared to her extreme patience with me and any questions I had.

I believe it is also important to emphasize that Laurie is a local resident of Avon. The professional relationships she has spent years cultivating are priceless; had I opted for a non-local agent or someone from a generic real estate website, I would have had to shoulder a much larger burden in terms of screening my own subcontractors and receiving impersonal treatment from appraisers and lenders. While Laurie does provide recommendations, she is anything but pushy about them. At every major decision point, I felt that Laurie truly had my best interests at heart.

I will end this review by stating that I am extremely pleased by my relationship with Laurie. I plan to live in my new home for at least seven years, but if I ever decide to sell, Laurie will be the only agent I consider listing the property.

Laurie was my buyers agent. I found Laurie based on her reviews and she did not disappoint. She was the best realtor I have ever worked with. She was always willing to talk or show any house no matter how late or early. What sets Laurie apart is that she will work for what is best for you and not what is convenient or best for herself.

On one occasion, I was about to purchase a home. But after the inspection revealed many issues with the house, she recommended I find a different house even though that meant it would take more of her time to find me a house. She proved that she truly works for the client and will always have your best interest in mind.

Laurie is a fantastic realtor and highly recommended! She went above and beyond to help us with two complicated real estate transactions. She spent countless hours to make sure we received the maximum return on investment with the home we were selling. She is very professional, attentive, and extremely knowledgeable. In addition, she provided us with advice and guidance throughout the home buying process to make sure we had an effortless experience. We found the perfect home in a very competitive market with her on our side! Her strong networking within the Farmington Valley area also assisted us with finding the best mortgage broker, lawyer, etc. Words cannot express how fortunate and grateful we were to have her as our agent. Thank you Laurie!

Laurie is an extremely proactive agent. As a marketing consultant, I've rarely seen a real estate professional that is so dedicated to learn about her clients and different ways to provide them with valuable information. She is always looking for new ways to innovate on her marketing and is a joy to work with. She deeply cares about her clients and the community she is serving!

As first time home buyers, my girlfriend and I had no idea where to start. We reached out to Laurie - thank goodness we did! Laurie is a consummate professional and walked us through the entire process without bogging us down with all the headaches and minutiae that comes along with the house search and closing. She is also super nice and extremely responsive... weekends, evenings, holidays and all! If I could give her 6 stars, I would. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a new house in the Farmington Valley.

To most people, acting like a professional means working and behaving in such a way that others think of them as competent, reliable and respectful. Professionals are a credit not only to themselves, but also to others.

We first met Laurie last year at an Open House we went to. We were living in New Jersey and looking to possibly relocate to Connecticut. We walked away from that Open House with a very good feeling about the realtor and person we had just met. My husband, Keith and I both said to each other that if and when we did move to CT., we would definitely like to use Laurie as our realtor. She made a very good impression with us. She is very friendly and warm and most of all very welcoming. Fast forward, to a year later and we had made up our minds to move to CT. We got in touch with Laurie and we instantly knew that we were in safe hands and the “good feeling” that we felt when we first met her a year ago was firmly in place. Little did we know that we would hit a Worldwide Pandemic that would stop us and everyone else in their tracks and bring things to a complete standstill! Needless to say, we were very anxious and unsure but even through a pandemic like this, Laurie was the constant positive that everything would be okay and that we would find a house no matter how long it took for the world to come back to somewhat of a normal functioning mode. We paused but were happy when we were able to get back to the hunt again. We hit a lot of snags and obstacles along our way but we knew we always had one constant and encouraging asset with us. That was Laurie Kane. My husband and I have been so impressed by her knowledge, her expertise, her professionalism. She would always say to us, “that’s my job”. It’s more than a job with Laurie, she puts her heart and soul into all she does and you can clearly see that she has a deep passion for what she does and she does it so well. Buyers are the lucky ones to reap the benefits from her passion. Buying a house is very stressful, we have done it so many times in our lifetime. We have NEVER had a realtor who genuinely lifts that stress from your shoulders and does it in such a way that is so comforting and calming.

If you are looking for a realtor that is true, sincere, genuine and really good at what she does, you should look no further than Laurie. There are not enough words to describe her talents. We will say that we did not regret, for one second, that we chose Laurie and would have no hesitation in recommending her to anyone.

There are realtors who know the community they live and those who are fully a part of it. Laurie is definitely the latter – her heart is with the people who make up the Farmington Valley. I've had the pleasure of seeing her dedication in action about a year ago when a family in town needed her public support. She understood the gravity of the situation, showed up to each of the rallies and threw her full support to the cause. You want a realtor who cares and cares for your well-being. That's who Laurie is.

Laurie was an absolute pleasure to work with and helped us preparing our house for sale and selling the house. There were a number of issues that made our transactions more complicated than normal and Laurie helped us through them. If I were selling a home in and around the Avon area I would definitely use her again. I continue to recommend her to my friends in the area.

It’s said that buying a house is more stressful than bankruptcy, divorce, and even the death of a loved-one. Trying to juggle a home sale, purchase, and move all concurrently is the perfect storm of financial activities. It’s not something you should venture into alone. It requires a professional. Someone who has been there and seen it all. Someone who has the experience to guide you, to advise you, and to smooth the rough patches, so you can focus on the rest of your life during the process, without being consumed by it. Someone like Laurie Kane. Laurie is a true pro. She helped us through our purchase and sale in a hot market, and made the process go as smoothly as we could have hoped. She was prepared every step of the way and had contingencies for every scenario. She worked tirelessly to help us sell our home as quickly as possible, and she was our constant advocate for both the purchase and sale. When bumps in the road happen, and they do, you need someone who can smooth the way for you. I can’t recommend anyone more strongly, and will certainly seek Laurie’s services for any future real estate transactions.

UPDATE: So the time came again for a home sale. Once again Laurie was remarkable. She brought so much skill and knowledge to the table. We could not have navigated this process without her. Her advice was always spot on, and I know she was the reason our home sold as quickly as it did. We had some challenges and she was able to provide advice and talk us off the ledge more than once.

I know she has a lot of clients she is supporting and a lot of homes she’s selling, but she always makes us feel like we are her only client. That is a gift that not all agents have. You feel like you are her exclusive client. She has real insight into the local market, so she clearly does her homework, and she seems to know off hand what homes will sell for and where the price points should be. She was a true asset during this process and we can’t thank her enough. The process was successful because of Laurie. Period.

Laurie was amazing and a true joy to work with. She is knowledgeable, professional and extremely efficient at managing the various steps involved in the entire home sale process. Our experience could not have been more positive and we give her our highest recommendation. She always had the right thing to say and right people to work with. Her staging ideas and photographer captured the true move-in ready feel of our beautiful house. It's not easy to sell your first house where your kids grew up and built tons of memories and Laurie just worked wonderfully through it all till the end. She is now more a friend than a realtor.

Laurie Kane has been a true saver. She is extremely professional in every level. We have trusted her with multiple real estate transactions. As our agent she gave us advice not only to sell our house quickly but she helped us by staging our house so that we could maximize the value. Once we listed we sold our home same weekend in a multiple offer generating a price better than what the analysis recommended. She is very business oriented, she definitely follows the contractual laws to the T! If you are looking for a partner you can trust to advocate for you, Laurie Kane is your Pro!

In short: Laurie has been extremely sharp, knowledgeable, and strategic - a great person to be fighting on your side. She was always respectful of our wishes, had our best interests in mind, and negotiated amazingly well on our behalf.

Our experience: My boyfriend and I were casually shopping for houses, and have gotten a number of recommendations of realtors from our family and friends. We didn’t want to sign with a realtor because we were so early in our home buying process. We actually met Laurie at an open house and appreciated that unlike other realtors, she gave us our space when we checked out the house; this is when we started working with her.

Laurie was always available at any time of the day to get us into the house we wanted to see almost immediately. Along the way, she provided us with her expertise and opinion. She listened to our wants and needs and took that forward to the next house she showed us.

When we found the house we wanted to put an offer on, this is when she really shined. Laurie was extremely strategic in how we should proceed each step of the way of the complicated home buying process. We put our trust in her and she got us better terms than we were expecting! She was also with us every step of the way, outlining exactly what needed to be done and by when, and has clearly built a solid network of colleagues that work so quickly and well with her that kept our closing on track. I can not recommend her enough!

I’ve known Laurie for 6+ years now. Over this time, we’ve developed a great business relationship and have had the opportunity to help many homebuyers purchase their first, second and sometimes third homes. Laurie has always been extremely ethical, professional and willing to go above and beyond to ensure her clients are taken care of beyond expectations. In addition, she’s always been accessible any time of day - during the week and on weekends. She’s extremely driven and motivated to exceed all of her clients expectations and routinely accomplishes this. In a service driven industry, you truly won’t find anyone better than Laurie!

I have hired Laurie Kane to sell my last 4 homes in Avon and Farmington. During each sale, she truly went above and beyond to ensure that I got the most money for my houses. At Cider brook, I had my house listed with another agent for over a year and no sale. I learned about Laurie through a personal note she sent me. My initial meeting with her I thought she was a little overly confident when she said that she would sell my house in less than a month! I had to think about it for a few days. When I called her back, she wanted me to make changes and stage the house with different furniture. I reluctantly agreed because she was so confident and knowledgeable about the market. From the moment she re-listed the house, she generated an incredible amount of showings and we got a great offer in 29 days to be exact! Ever since, Laurie is the only agent I would use and highly recommend because of her professionalism, experience, personal approach and her ability to deliver results.
She sold my 3 homes in Farmington all high end above 1.3M and AVON over a 1M. If you want to have the job done, you hire Laurie Kane. I highly recommend her. She is the best!

I have had 4 real estate transactions with Laurie Kane over the past 10 years including both the sale and purchase of my home. As the retired CEO for one of Connecticut's largest medical companies I know a business professional when I work with them. Honesty, integrity, knowledge, and follow through are important to me. Laurie Kane is all of these. Also, I want someone that tells me like it is, not how I want it to be. This is why she is successful and why she will sell your home or get you into the home you want. like I said, she has represented me 4 times over the years.
