Laurie Dodd IS the hardest working person I know. Her ability to get things done is awe-inspiring. I have known Laurie for nearly 10 years and whatever the task or challenge, Laurie is able to find a solution. She is incredibility loyal to her family and friends and has been a strong advocate to many that have asked or needed her assistance. I believe what really sets Laurie apart from others is her genuine passion to help people and the respect she shows others and for the job at hand. It has been a privilege to work with Laurie and I hope to have the opportunity to continue to do so in the future. I am truly grateful for her support and friendship. I can’t thank her enough for the investment she has made in our community to ensure that it is great!

I would highly recommend working with Laurie.  She is passionate about everything she does and enjoys connecting with people so she can help find them the right house.  She helped me sell a townhouse and purchase the right house for me.  She guided me through the staging process which helped sell the townhouse amazingly fast.  She didn’t allow me to dwell on homes that weren’t in my budget, had a bad layout or required more work than my budget.  I really appreciated her knowledge of the local market and keen eye for finding value.  I feel she took the time to listen to what I was looking for and made an effort to show me houses that met my requirements.  I particularly appreciated her attention to detail and forethought.  Her knowledge of the process and documentation was also valuable.

With attention to intricate details and impeccable customer service, Laurie is the person you want on your "team".  She thinks of everything a project and or property would ever need and always plans ahead to avoid potential issues. By truly evaluating and listening to each client's unique needs, her suggestions are as thoughtful as they are practical.  It was a pleasure to work with Laurie on multiple projects over the years and I have great respect for her work ethic and professionalism.

I have known Laurie for over a decade now.  Even after all this time, I am still struck by the dedication and tenacity she brings to each and every project, no matter how big or small.  Her irrepressible energy, when coupled with her integrity, ingenuity, and loyalty, makes Laurie a pro’s pro. Simply put, whenever Laurie is involved, you know that you are in the very best of hands.  Part of her success is due to the fact that she is personable, compassionate and magnetic.  People want to be around her. An even bigger part, though, is that once Laurie accepts a challenge she will do whatever it takes to see it through.  Case in point:  for many years, she has been one of the top-ranked competitive masters swimmers in the world. It’s not something she ever talks about. I only know because, as one of her teammates, I have witnessed many a magical and inspiring performance.  Becoming the best at something does not come easily. It requires back-breaking discipline, laser focus and never-ending sacrifice.  But getting the job done, methodically and with both grace and humility, is just something that defines Laurie Dodd.

I recently returned to Los Angeles after having moved out of state for five years.  I had a set budget and exactly three months to find a place to live.  To say that I was overwhelmed would be an understatement.  Laurie found me a new home with plenty of time to spare and she helped make my transition from Chicago painless.  She is patient, thorough and flawlessly efficient.  If dedication, commitment and a bar none work ethic are what you are looking for, I can assure you that Laurie will not disappoint.

HISTORIC DOWNTOWN LOFT/NORTH HOLLYWOOD

I have known Laurie for over 20 years, and you are not going to find a better realtor than Laurie. Laurie represented me on both the sale of my loft in downtown Los Angeles and the purchase of my beautiful new home in North Hollywood and was phenomenal throughout the entire process. This is truly a dream home for me, and it would not have been possible without her. This was my first time selling and second time buying, and Laurie guided me step by step through the whole process. As my work schedule is quite busy, Laurie worked with me to schedule appointments around my work schedule. Even taking time away from her own family to do so. Not a lot of realtors would do that. Her knowledge of the North Hollywood area was amazing. She was constantly letting me know about the area and all the development that is taking place, and how much I have to look forward to as I grow in my home. If you want an agent who is going to look out for your best interests and put you in a home that is right for YOU, and not just to make a sale, Laurie is that agent."

Laurie helped me find a house, within the area and budget I had requested in less than 2 days… I called Laurie on a Saturday morning and explained I needed to move fairly quickly. She met with me barely an hour later and searched for properties based on the criteria provided, we spent the afternoon together touring houses as well as the next morning. She was relentless about finding the right house for me and provided excellent time-saving advice about properties she knew would not fit my needs. Laurie further helped me negotiate the lease and ensure the property was ready for my move in.
 
I have known Laurie for several years now as an accomplished athlete, I can truthfully say that her professional dedication matches her athletic accomplishments.

I met Laurie while we were selling our house in the Hollywood Hills. She was working with my agent who needed to leave town for a few days during a very short closing. We didn't know each other, but upon meeting her I immediately felt comfortable.

She carried the closing seamlessly and effortlessly during inspections and repairs. She met multiple inspectors, and trades during the discovery period, assuring that we were able to close without any extension or problems. She was calm when I wasn't and checked in with me daily. Although it was brief I got to see how competent and confident she is. I would easily recommend her to friends and family.

Coronado Sale

We recently sold our mother’s condo after her passing for more than the listing price during the peak of COVID in California. We were especially fortunate to have had the expert services of Laurie Zeiger Dodd from Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices California Properties at the helm to lead to the successful and quick sale of the property. Ms. Dodd is an exemplary realtor who combines expert knowledge of real estate who professionally, fastidiously, and pleasantly negotiated through a complex sale due to international parties involved and only a 10-day escrow period. We certainly will be contracting with Laurie Zeiger Dodd for any future sales giving her excellent performance and ratings.

Working with Laurie has been a pleasure. As a first-time home buyer, I have little experience and knowledge in residential real estate transactions, especially in California. Laurie is very proactive and led me through the entire process. She has tremendous time management skills and set timeline and milestones right after signing the purchase agreement. It was an extremely smooth process, and we were able to hit all the target dates even with all the difficulties that arose due to COVID-19. We were able to complete all the due diligence items within a week and close the transaction within a month. Even after the close of the transaction she has been taking the time and making the effort to guide me through the essential items to get me started at my new place. I will definitely recommend her to any of my friends who will be selling or buying new homes.

Thank you for all your help in the sale of our home.  You got the toughest part of the deal. Thank you for getting it through so professionally.

Laurie is one of the smartest, hardest working, and most knowledgeable people I know. As a first home buyer, I was terrified. She led me through the labyrinth of home buying and made the experience understandable and not so threatening. She knew exactly what to do – from the home inspections, the paperwork and everything else. I now own a dream home in Desert Hot Springs. Laurie was instrumental in making that happen and I’m so grateful for her help and expertise. Did I mention she also was my sister’s realtor and helped her find her dream home in Indian Wells? I have and will continue to recommend her.

Laurie made the home buying process an absolute pleasure. She took all the pain out of the process and had my back every step of the way. She is the first-class standard in everything she does and doesn’t gloss over any details. I would recommend her services to anyone!

I had the pleasure of having Laurie as my agent. I knew if I chose Laurie to represent me, she would go above and beyond for me; and I was right. Looking for a home can be overwhelming and stressful, especially during these unprecedented times. Luckily, I had Laurie by my side to be my advocate and sounding board. She listened to me discuss my needs and concerns and patiently walked me through every step of the process. Because of her knowledge of the market, negotiation skills, attention to detail, and responsiveness, I was able to close escrow and move into my beautiful new home within a short period of time. While most agents would stop there, Laurie continued to help by making sure I settled into my new home. I truly do not think I would have been able to buy my lovely new home without her. I was lucky to have Laurie represent me and you will be too.

Laurie Z Dodd was very professional. Throughout the entire market search, sales analysis and especially follow through, she maintained a very professional and quick reply to questions and issues that came up. Ive been in the CRE business for 35 years and Laurie handled every aspect of the transaction extremely well. I recommend her to anyone searching for a new residential property.

I rarely, if ever comment on services rendered to me. I am making an exception to recognize the incredible effort my incomparable real estate agent Laurie Dodd made in assuring a flawless move from my prior home to my new home in Los Angeles. Mrs. Dodd served as my real estate agent for both transactions. Being older I had many worries about the major changes in my life, however, Laurie navigated all the steps with grace and care, reassuring me that we were making the right choice for the move and the home that she personally found. The meticulousness of the process allowed me to execute the final sale of my previous home 1 day prior to the purchase of my new home. The timing was essential to optimize the financial transactions, Laurie extended her service beyond the usual real estate agent activities as she helped us in moving our furniture and belongings from the old home to the new. It was like having concierge service. Laurie Dodd should be your first choice as she is professional, knowledgeable, compassionate, and meticulous. She has our highest possible rating.

It was a pleasure having Laurie as our realtor on the purchase of our new home. She is very professional, knowledgeable, dependable, friendly, and even after the sale is done she still keeps tabs on us. My wife and I are very happy and would recommend Laurie to anyone that wants to buy a home, as she made it a pleasurable experience.

Westside Condo

Laurie helped me buy a home in peak market. My bank insisted they couldn’t close a mortgage in less than 45 days making my bid less attractive. Laurie worked tirelessly with the broker and seller to convince them to accept my offer. On the day we signed, Laurie presented my bank with a complete download of everything they needed, names, numbers, HOA docs. My bank had never seen anything like it. They closed my loan in 14 by days and I was in my house a month earlier than I planned. Laurie was magical to work with, never pressured me, and drove out to unlimited listings so I could find my perfect home. Let her take care of you. You’ll be in great hands.

Laurie Dodd is the quintessential, caring, organized real estate broker everyone wants in their corner. She is thorough, insightful, shares her considered and helpful opinions when appropriate, and will be there for her clients day and night. She shows up and brings 100% every time. The deal we made got a little tricky and Laurie stepped up and helped us navigate the bumpy road with sensible advice and a guiding hand. I would recommend her 1000%!!

West LA Townhouse

When my brother passed away recently in West LA, I needed to find someone who could help me sell his condominium but I lived 100 miles away in Santa Barbara. I contacted a Berkshire Hathaway realtor, Karen Musser, who has been a great friend for decades to see what she suggested. Karen suggested Laurie Zeiger Dodd would be a great choice for our realtor because she lived not far from my brother's place and actually grew up in that area. After contacting Laurie, we knew we had the right person to help us with the complex task of preparing, repairing, and finding great buyers for the condo. Laurie was especially essential because we lived so far away from all the work of preparing the unit for sale. Laurie is quick to jump in and deal with details which seem small but must get done and done correctly. No task was too large OR too small for her to tackle. She did not fail us once. Escrow closed without a hitch even though there had been an error in the deed which needed to get straightened out. I could not be more enthusiastic about recommending Laurie if you need an *EXPERT* in buying or selling property in LA. She is absolutely amazing and we are so grateful that we found her as our realtor. THANK YOU LAURIE ZEIGER DODD!!!!!
