It was a real pleasure working with Laura! She was very responsive and communicated clearly. She pointed out both the positives and negatives of the properties we looked at, and I really felt she had my interests in mind. I would definitely recommend her services to others! Alfred Rumondor

Laura was amazing to work with. If you are searching for a realtor that is professional, has great knowledge and can answer each and every question promptly, you found her. She helped my husband and I find our first home and made the entire process so easy for us. Thank you, Laura! Steph Russell

First time buying a home. I hope every time is as smooth and painless! Jacob Glowacki

Laura is the ultimate professional! From the moment she first visited our home, throughout the showing process and certainly during the negotiation with the buyer, Laura was proactive, responsive and made the transaction a seamless process. Working with Laura Reilly and Baird & Warner was the best decision!! Mark Ratfelders

Laura is fantastic to work with! My husband and I relocated from another state, and she made the home-buying process smooth from start to finish. She not only helped us find the perfect home but also took the time to teach us about the area and all the little differences with the new state. We’ll definitely be working with Laura again in the future and recommending her to our family too! Amanda Gross

Professional partner and a great advocate. Highly recommend Laura! Jeffrey V Queen

Thank you Laura for all your hard work and dedication to help me through this whole experience!!! I was so afraid, but you held my hand through it all!!! I believed in you from the day you showed up to my front door!!! I cannot tell you in words, but if anyone needs a realtor, Laura Reilly will be the first name that will come out of my mouth!!! Thank you again Laura, Rae Raylene Bernard

Thanks Laura for all your help. The focus and professionalism you brought to my sale was soooo appreciated. You tackled every speed bump with efficiency and unwavering commitment to me. Timothy Bristol

We knew Laura as a friend, and as people know, sometimes hiring a friend is not in the best interest of either party. Well, we couldn't have been more wrong in this case & couldn’t be more grateful! Laura truly knows the competition (as she has lived & worked in and around Gurnee/Grayslake for over 15 years. Laura is responsive, friendly & candid when need be. She guided us through the most important updates that buyers are looking for. She also has an amazing network of local contacts who are professional and fair in their pricing. If I had 10 more houses to sell, I would call Laura every time! Thank you, Laura!! Al Cymbal

Laura is easily the best realtor I have worked with in the Gurnee area on both the buyer or seller side. She is incredibly responsive, generous with her contacts & advice & delivers on deadlines and a million things in between. I can’t recommend her enough! Dawn Field

This was the second house that Laura sold for us this year & we couldn’t have been more grateful! Laura truly knows the competition (as she has lived & worked in and around Gurnee/Grayslake for over 15 years. Laura is responsive, friendly & candid when need be. She guided us through the most important updates that buyers are looking for. She also has an amazing network of local contacts who were professional and fair in their pricing. If I had 10 more houses to sell, I would call Laura every time! Jonathan Field

My family and I moved out of state and had to find a home fairly quickly. We’re so fortunate to have had Laura as our realtor. She accommodated our busy schedules and was so patient with our sometimes rowdy kids. She helped us find our dream home and we couldn’t be happier. I highly recommend her for any relocations or realtor needs. V Koesema

I was confident in Laura and trusted her from the moment I met her. She was thorough and knowledgeable about the area, market stats, etc. She provided suggestions prior to staging and answered many questions and calmed every doubt I had throughout the process. The photographer also was excellent, and I was so pleased with the way the listing turned out. Laura kept me informed at every step of the process. After listing my home, I was out of town for a few weeks. I had complete confidence my home was safe in Laura's hands. And I can't speak enough to her responsiveness. No matter when I sent a text, her response was almost immediate! Even on Christmas morning! Laura, it was a pleasure working with you. Thank you for everything. Dawn Hahn

I truly enjoyed working with Laura. I had a unique request for housing and Laura searched tirelessly with me to find a home that would work for me and my family. We have developed a friendship that will be long lasting. Gerome Burrell

Laura was amazing to work with, she acted quickly, gave great advice and was sweet with our dogs (especially since they had to be home during the home Photo session). We worked with Laura on a relocation from MD to IL, and then requested her again when we moved from IL back to MD. We highly recommend her! Angela Fair

Laura was absolutely pleasure to work with. She's always on top of things with quick responses. She's very experienced with what she does but not pushy at all. Really appreciate all her did to make this easy and smooth transaction. Highly recommended! Jing Cheng

Laura did a great job in selling our home and helping us negotiate the items that came after with inspections, etc. Our home sold in a week and we couldn't be happier! Ken Carrano

Laura is simply the best! She was so patient with us as we were looking for our new home. We were not in a position to "need" to move, so I admit I was fairly picky. She quickly got a sense for what we were looking for and what my style was. She worked diligently with us without ever being pushy, and found us exactly what we were looking for! She also handled the sale of our home. Gave us feedback on how to get the house ready and staged it to perfection. We got multiple offers and sold for over asking price! I could go on and on. Highly recommend going with Laura for any real estate needs! Tina Sonders

Laura calmly guided us through the listing, showings, and sale of our home. She exemplifies professionalism and grace. Would highly recommend Laura to all! Julie Carpenter

Laura is a top notch realtor and did a great job for my home sale. It went better than I expected and that was thanks to Laura's hard work! I would wholeheartedly recommend her! Jan Stidham

We are first time home owners and we would not be in the beautiful home we are in if it was not for Laura! She made this process less intimidating, and was there for us every step of the way. Her expertise in the area was heavily leveraged. She provided us with a large ecosystem of individuals to make the process from showings to close seamless. She truly has our best interest in mind! Would recommend Laura to anyone interested in purchasing in the area! chris akers

Laura is a professional who knocked out of the park with our sale. She effectively indicated what work to do to the house pre-market, has great referrals for painters & laborers. She sold my house via private network for 5% over and we never had to list on MLS Jonathan Field

I recently moved back to Illinois and had the pleasure of having Laura help me find my new home. She was knowledgeable of the Lake county area and the current fluctuations within the housing market. She was open to spending time with me, quick to respond to questions, appropriately assertive with sellers/brokers, and communicated with needed parties without delays. We found my future home, she stayed with me through all the ups and downs, and was always a pleasure to work with. I would highly recommend Laura to any potential buyer or seller. You won't be disappointed. Anna Powers

Note: My initials are N.S. and our closing was April 04, 2022. The sign of a positive experience is a repeat client. We've relocated a number of times through my career and our experiences with real estate agents ranged from good to regret. Over time we honed a list of qualities that we expect from the person representing our best interests when buying / selling a house. The list is simple; a professional real estate agent possessing empathy, patience, talent to instill reality, quick response, deep market knowledge with experience-based respect, and long standing ties to the community and industry services. Laura met each quality and delivered results - she allowed us to forego stress and focus on at the impending move. Upon deciding to sell our home ($600K range), Laura evaluated the property, provided clear direction for what was required to maximize value, then sat with us to review the market, and together arrived at the right listing price. It was listed that same day, Wednesday late afternoon. The next three days saw interested, qualified potential buyers taking tours and Sunday we reviewed multiple offers. That day we accepted a bid over asking price - the closing took place seven weeks later. Laura was our agent when we bought our home. 15 years later... see above. Mr. Mxyzptlk

Laura is fantastic. If you are looking for a realtor that is professional, has the best knowledge of the market and answers each and every question promptly, you found her. Laura came to our house for the evaluation, gave us a good idea of market value and easy to fix ideas how to improve the appearance of the house. She brought an interior designer and with her help our house looked so fantastic, we did t want to move ;-) Our house was under contract within 24 hours and sold for over asking price. All credit goes to Laura and her team, who negotiated in our interest. Laura also knows the best folks around to do repairs and painting etc for reasonable pricing. We cannot thank Laura enough for doing such a fantastic job selling our house! Trip Design

Having done a lot of research up front in terms of selling options, and not wanting to pay high commissions, we put our home up for sale by owner. We received multiple offers, and even had a contract; but it fell through. Frustrated, we decided to go with an agent. As they say, you can do it the hard way or the easy way. It doesn’t get any easier way than going with Laura Reilly. We knew the moment we met her we made the right choice. Our home went under contract within 48 hours of listing (probably due to her staging and pictures that presented our home in the best light). She maintained a hands on approach throughout the process including being present during the home inspection and the assessor‘s review to help ensure nothing went awry that might jeopardize the sale. Bottom line: you get what you pay for. We strongly recommend Laura for any real estate needs you are considering. Marlon and Sherry Hagen Sherry Hagen

If you want an agent that really hustles for you Laura is all that and more! We went out in 20 below weather to see the house we purchased and never once did Laura complain. Its a pleasure to work with someone with great ambition and never making you feel like your causing an imposition when your running around looking at properties. Laura is very knowledgeable about the markets she works in and very honest about where pricing should be in those markets. Whether your buying or selling its great to have an agent that will give you honest information about the market and guide you on getting your goals accomplished. Michael Walline

We searched for a couple months for the perfect home, and we found ours thanks to Laura! We had a mishap with a seller and Laura fought hard for us and was an advocate; she did everything she could so we could see a particular home. She’s definitely a good person to have in your corner when looking for a home! Definitely deserves 5 stars! E

Laura was such a pleasure to work with in selling my house. She made the whole process easier to manage and she offered suggestions and support whenever I needed it. She is well versed in the market and her years of experience were a comfort. She made a very stressful experience so much better. I would highly recommend her if you’re selling your home. Jacquelyn Cotey

Laura is a seasoned pro whose ideas are on the mark and who will sell your house fast. She is great to work with and is a straight shooter. Go with her advice and she will get things done in a very professional way. She is always accessible to pick up your phone call or text. I would use Laura again. Mike Urban Michael Urban

Laura at B&W made our sale a very simple and efficient experience. We would use her services again for future transactions. George Strumberger

I hired Laura Reilly to sell my mother's condo in Gurnee. She sold it in one week, got two offers and sold it for the listing price. She was awesome to work with - knowledgeable and experienced - If you are looking for a realtor in Lake County, IL look no further. This is from a retired Realtor! Ken Thulin

Laura maneuvered so that we had a dual offer situation which then got us a full list offer. Kenneth Thulin, Poa

Laura was great in leading my mom and I in the sale of her condo. When my wife and I sell our home, we will be calling Laura again. Kenneth Carrano

When making my decision in hiring a realtor to sell my home, it was a choice between Laura Reilly and a different realtor with a large staff. I chose Laura and it was the best decision I could have made. Laura provided me with personalized and consistent attention and advice throughout the entire selling process. She was even there when the stager, that she hired, came to my home so that the three of us were all onboard about the decisions in presenting my home. She was personally available 24/7 attending to any issues that came up. I never dealt with a staff member. I believe that was one of the most important things that made a difference. Within three days, my home was under contract!! Thanks, Laura!!! Lauren Fesik

Laura is #1 when it comes to supporting her clients!! Her guidance and expertise is top notch! She made selling our home a seamless experience! We fully recommend choosing Laura for your home buying or selling needs!! Mary Hilbert

Laura was an amazing realtor to work with. She was always available and communicated daily! She was on top of everything! I would highly recommend her! She was an absolute pleasure to work with! Brieanna Ruggia

Laura is caring, concerned, knowledgeable of the housing market, and interested that her client makes an informed choice in purchasing a home. From our first meeting thru my closings she was right with me. I recommend Laura Reilly 110% and more! Nancy Weber

Laura was a tremendous asset during our corporate relocation home buying process. As a family that wanted to purchase before we were in the area. We discussed with Laura what we were looking for and she quickly matched us to homes that were a great fit. She took the time to investigate the houses we were really interested in and gave us real advice for each home based on what we wanted. She always steered us away from homes that just didn't check all the boxes and we are so thankful. When it came time to put in an offer together, we did everything in our control to make sure we were competitive, and it was received! Douglas Malkin

As a first time seller in Illinois Laura walked us through the process and was able to answer any question we had. Laura has a great understanding of the market and a great eye for how a home needs to look to sell at the best price. Her years of experience in negotiation are a great asset for a seller or buyer in this market. I recommend Laura Reilly for all your real estate transactions in the Lake County area. Lauren Roth

Laura was very knowledgeable to the Real-estate market. Timothy Hinkle

Laura was excellent to work with! She staged our home perfectly and was always available with any questions we had. Thank you Laura for your incredible professionalism and the quick sale of our home! Birgit Tyrrell

I was offered a relocation by my employee. Laura was one of few relators I had interviewed and I was deeply impressed by her professional and sharpness and I did not hesitate to ask her as my listing agent. Given the unexpected pandemic, my relocation stretched to almost 2 years, but the attitudes and responses from Laura were exact the same as we talked the first day. Every time when I had a question, no matter big or small, Laura always provided her honest comments within 24 hours. When I moved out of my property, I was fully confident that Laura can handle everything. She listed my property in 10 days including all the pre-listing activities and updated me in real time and let me feel completely involved. Offer was accepted in a week. Additionally, she had strong connections in local area. When I needed any upgrades, she immediately provided me the point of contacts and all the contactors did the fantastic jobs with the reasonable price. I am so glad to have Laura as my seller realtor and highly recommend Laura to everyone who needs a realtor in the local. Yan Xie

Laura did a great job, above and beyond our expectation. Xue Holdman

We couldn’t have been happier with Laura as our realtor. She was quick to respond and answer any questions or resolve any issues we had. She made us feel like we were her only client. We considered moving to Wisconsin, Laura connected us with Stacy Johnson who was just as great as Laura. In the end we decided to stay in Illinois. The whole selling and buying process was smooth thanks to Laura. Kenneth Jazdzewski

Within two weeks, in today’s market, Laura was able to find a house in Gurnee with some pretty specific necessities! She was excellent! Randi Nass

Laura was great. She was able to get my home sold in just a few hours of being on the market. No real negotiating needed. First offer was what we were looking for. She was recommended by our neighbor who's home she sold in just a day. Glad we went with her. Corey Glowacz

Laura was professional and knowledgeable and sold our house in 5 days! When we first met with Laura she came to the house and suggested a few things to upgrade or fix - and listening to her direction was the best thing! She made the process less stressful with her explanation of each step and guidance along the way. Annette M

It had been 22 years since we last moved and Laura made the process virtually painless. She listed our house, sold it, and helped us buy another in about 45 days. What a whirlwind but Laura was by our side throughout it all. Great experience. We'll definitely be calling on her again! Jennifer S

I can not say enough about Laura Reilly and her amazing abilities and customer service skills when it comes to real estate. She knows absolutely every minute detail when it comes to selling your house. She went above and beyond for us- even purchasing last minute things for us to help us pass inspections as we had already moved out of state. She is very knowledgeable about the finite details in real estate and helped us over MANY hurdles! She also recommended a lawyer that handled our transaction and the the two of them went above and beyond to close the deal as it was NOT a simple case. Please take my advice - You will not go wrong when you choose Laura to sell your house!!! Laurie P
