“This review is very late, we purchased our home August 11, 2016 and couldn’t be more satisfied with our purchase. To start, my husband and I began looking for our home because our family was expanding. We were introduced to Carmen Ruffino, real estate agent to the Laurie Dau Team. She listened to what we wanted and found exactly what we talked about.
The team works so effortlessly with you that it really was a stress free experience. They keep in constant contact with you from start to finish and even after closing they will reach out to you to see how you are settling in to your new home.

Laurie knows this market well and negotiated a deal for me on my new home which was quick and painless.

I highly recommend Laurie Dau and the Dau Team!”

Laurie took the time to get to know me and was attentive to the types of homes I wanted to see. When we successfully made an offer on our home, Laurie’s team was professional, communicative, trustworthy and reliable. Throughout the process Laurie represented our interests as buyers to the best of her capacity and I was highly impressed with her negotiating power.
I can’t recommend Laurie Dau enough as a Real Estate agent. I’ve used every single one of her recommended service providers and the services have been exceptional. I would highly recommend you get your Real Estate needs handled by Laurie and her professional team at Long and Foster.

“Laurie and her team have been extremely professional and with a personal touch that was quite comfortable for us. Recommendations on repairs and staging the house for viewing were good and not overwhelming in any fashion. She has a solid knowledge of the market and provided good feedback. The whole experience was quite nice. Deirdre and I would recommend Laurie and her team without hesitation.”

Mark & Deirdre - Doylestown, PA


We worked directly with Doug Raitt on our property purchase, and he was extremely knowledgeable in all aspects of the process.
“My wife and I are from the UK and have been renting homes since 2013. This was our first home purchase in the US, and we are so glad that we chose Laurie Dau’s team to be our realtor. Buying real estate in the US is very different to what we are familiar with from the UK. We worked directly with Doug Raitt on our property purchase, and he was extremely knowledgeable in all aspects of the process. He was extremely accommodating and flexible to meet our needs, and was a pleasure to work with throughout.
We highly recommend the Laurie Dau team to others that are in the market for a realtor.”

John & Lucy - Doylestown, PA


She is very knowledgeable and responsive to questions.

Her and her team go out of their way to make sure you are armed with all the knowledge you need to make such a huge decision.
“I cannot say enough wonderful things about Laurie and her team. From the moment I started the home buying process with Laurie she was extremely professional. She made me feel comfortable that she was looking out for my best interests. This was especially important to me as this was the first time home purchase. I could not have been more lucky to have Laurie as my agent through the process. Her and her team go out of their way to make sure you are armed with all the knowledge you need to make such a huge decision. She gives great advice and opinions. I would highly recommend her.”

Gretchen - Chalfont, PA


The sale of my home came with some unique circumstances that Laurie Dau and her Assistant, Beka Johnson, handled with great aplomb.
“The sale of my home came with unique circumstances that Laurie Dau and her Assistant, Beka Johnson, handled with great aplomb. They knew who to turn to, when necessary, and found solutions to some uncommon issues.
I cannot say enough about Laurie’s professionalism, patience and, mostly, her (and Beka’s) personal interaction. Each interaction with Laurie and Beka, was, at worst, pleasant and empathetic. Laurie and her team made what could have become, for me, an overwhelming situation, into a smooth, and ultimately, successful process.
I have already recommended Laurie twice, and would not hesitate to do so, again. My great Thanks! to Laurie and her team.”

D.B. - Furlong, PA


If you want a knowledgeable, hardworking agent with impeccable integrity - interview Laurie!
“I have used the services of Laurie Dau and her Team on two occasions - once as a Buyer in 2011 and just recently as a Seller in the spring of 2015. I without hesitation give Laurie the highest marks in all areas. Most importantly Laurie is a true professional who takes the time to give detailed attention to her clients. During my most recent home sale did a very solid Market Analysis, helped me with many staging ideas, and provided potential Buyers and their Agents with quick and accurate support. With Laurie's guidance along the way my home was listed on MLS and after one well-orchestrated Open House event we had a full price offer after 5 days on the Market. Laurie followed every detail and made sure we had a flawless closing as well. From a Buyers perspective Laurie and her Team gave me the same kind of full service, helping me learn the area, the market, and patiently helping me visit potential listing. Once the right home was found she kept close attention to all details with financing and inspections. If you want a knowledgeable, hardworking agent with impeccable integrity - interview Laurie and I am sure you will come away as impressed as I have been!”

Don - Doylestown, PA


Laurie and her team were extremely helpful and patient
“Laurie and her team were extremely helpful and patient during our search for a new home. They were very knowledgeable about the area, listened to (and understood!) our needs, and worked well together as a team to help find a perfect home for us. Moreover, they still check in on us today to see how everything is going! Their personal touch and attention to detail has ensured that we will remain in contact with them for our future real estate needs.”

Jeffrey & Valerie - New Hope, PA


I could not have asked for a better experience than with Laurie and her assistant Beka.
“I could not have asked for a better experience than with Laurie and her assistant Beka. They were always prompt with communication, organized and had a timeframe for every step of the way, and handled everything with the highest degree of professionalism. I debated getting an agent at first and thought I could handle the process on my own. I was completely wrong and have no regrets. Thank you Laurie and Beka for being amazing!”

Alex & Carmen - Furlong, PA


Laurie and her team were fantastic.
“Laurie and her team were fantastic. They were very professional and the whole process was smooth from start to finish; they really have the entire process down to a science and had our home sold and settled well within the average "Days on Market" of comparable homes. Never once did we have to inquire about the status of our home - we were always being updated on showing results and other market activity.
Starting with the initial meeting, Laurie had done her homework ahead of time and provided us with a list of comps, a list of active properties, a recommended sales price, and a projected net proceeds worksheet. She also reviewed sales strategies as well as common mistakes and pitfalls. Finally, she completed a thorough walk through of our property and provided us with valuable feedback on steps we could take to add more curb appeal.
Upon listing with Laurie, Laurie and her team came in and staged our property with wreaths, hand towels, shower curtains, etc. to really make our property pop since it was vacant. One of her team members is a professional photographer and took some great pictures, accentuating the shine of the hardwood floors, the granite, and other property highlights.
Throughout the listing phase, we were provided with weekly updates on feedback from showings of our property and relevant market activity to make sure our home was maintaining a competitive edge against other homes on the market. This turned out to be very important in our case as there were ten or more properties for sale in our development.
During the contract phase, Laurie and her team did an excellent job negotiating buyer requests and recommending reputable local contractors to address any items that were agreed to.
All paperwork and settlement was a breeze. Laurie and her team prepped us on all the processes and paperwork and sent reminders when necessary. We would highly recommend Laurie and her team to anyone and will surely give her a ring for our next real estate transaction!”

Bryan & Jennifer - Blue Bell, PA


Laurie was always was ready with answers to our questions
“My wife and I were immediately very impressed with Laurie. She was the second realtor we had used during our home buying process and the difference between her and the first was night and day. She was never pushy with making a sale, always was ready with answers to our questions, and was great about getting us to new listings ASAP. After our purchase she has stayed in contact by giving us her recommended contractors and holding events for her clients to attend. We would not hesitate to recommend her to someone looking to buy a home in the area.”

Adam & Becca - Warrington, PA


We will never be able to thank her enough for helping us find the perfect home for our family.
“We recommend Laurie Dau as a trusted and knowledgeable real estate agent. We first heard about Laurie from two different friends who do not know one another. When they both recently worked with Laurie and both highly recommended her to us, we knew in choosing Laurie as our realtor, that we would be in good hands. From our first meeting with Laurie, we could tell that she is passionate about real estate. She assists her clients through advising them about current real estate market trends, supplies resources to them so that they can make educated decisions, answers questions in a professional and factual manner, all while focusing on her clients’ wants and needs. All of these qualities in Laurie are what makes her successful in finding the perfect house for her clients to call home. We will never be able to thank her enough for helping us find the perfect home for our family.”

Jill & Paul - Chalfont, PA

Laurie and her team made it so easy for us to find the home we've been searching for.
“As first time home buyers, we really didn't know where to start with our home search. Laurie and her team made it so easy for us to find the home we've been searching for. She was always just a phone call or email away and no question was too small. Thanks again to Laurie and her team!”

Tammy & Patrick - Pipersville, PA


I could not believe how smoothly everything went!

Chris & Christina - Perkasie, PA


We have worked with several real estate agents in the past, and Laurie was the most professional and a true pleasure to deal with.

John - Jamison, PA


Her honesty, loyalty and patience is evident in all she does.
“Laurie became no only a true representative and advocate for us in our search for a home, but also a friend. She has now helped us with a number of different properties including helping us find our home. My husband and I felt she really cared about us finding out home instead of just selling us a house. Her honesty, loyalty and patience is evident in all she does. I can’t say enough wonderful things about her!
Thanks Laurie!”

Anonymous - Doylestown, PA


We would recommend Laurie to sell any house - she can do it!
“Laurie Dau helped us sell our house in April 2013. She has a very professional demeanor, came to the house as arranged, and brought comparables and information, even before we signed with her. She marketed the house as agreed upon, hosted open houses, and gave excellent advice on staging, painting, and furniture arrangement. Laurie held our hand as we went to closing and kept us informed every step of the way. We would recommend Laurie to sell any house - she can do it!”

Steve & Claudia - Jamison, PA


Laurie made the process extremely easy, seamless and as close to "stress free" as selling your home can be.
“My wife and I hired Laurie to represent us in the process of selling our home and purchasing our new home. With Laurie's assistance, we were able to sell our home in 5 1/2 weeks and purchase our new home a few days later. Laurie made the process extremely easy, seamless and as close to "stress free" as selling your home can be. I cannot thank Laurie enough for her assistance during this process and would absolutely give her our highest recommendation!”

Mike & Jennifer - Doylestown, PA


She always had our best interest at heart.
“Being 6 months pregnant is probably not the best time to be shopping for a new home, but that is just what my husband and I did last fall. The process of finding a house proved to be pretty stressful and we had the added stress of making sure we were in the house in time for our little one's arrival. One Sunday, we went to about 5 different open houses. Along the way, we met Laurie. My husband and I were instantly impressed with her professionalism.
We decided on the spot to work with Laurie. She was so patient, knowledgeable and genuinely caring through our entire process. She always had our best interest at heart. In the end, because of Laurie we found our perfect home and a great friend. I would not hesitate to recommend Laurie.”

Antonetta & Michael - Doylestown, PA


Laurie is a professional above all others, she cares deeply about her clients.
“We can recommend Laurie without hesitation! We first came into contact with Laurie, when we were looking at land that she was the listing agent. Although that purchase didn't meet our criteria, Laurie offered to send us info on properties in our search area. After about one year of communication with Laurie, we found what seemed to be our dream home! The property wasn't her own listing, so we were working with Laurie and the listing agent. After many visits and questions, all answered by Laurie, we decided to pass on the property.
The property was an estate sale which complicated the process and Laurie was challenged to get all the info we required mainly on her own initiative. We cannot emphasize the amount of work this required on Laurie's part. She forged ahead with the professionalism and caring that we have come to expect from her. With the time that she devoted to us, we weren't sure she was getting any sleep! Rest assured that we will continue to use Laurie for any real estate needs in the future. Laurie is a professional above all others, she cares deeply about her clients, and it shows on a daily basis while working with her.”

Dennis & Peggy - New Hope, PA


Laurie’s straight forward approach and great listening skills really help her stand out!
“Laurie is a true professional in every way. She made my home buying process very easy. Her quick service level for all requests was fantastic. Laurie’s straight forward approach and great listening skills really help her stand out!”

Don - Doylestown, PA


She was very professional, trustworthy and calming in the times of frustration.
“My husband and I met Laurie we say by fate, she was meant to be our agent. It was 4:00 pm on a Thursday and we needed to see a house so we could make some decisions rather quickly. She came right over and showed us the house without hesitation. She was very professional, trustworthy and calming in the times of frustration. She had all the information and was very helpful, and what she did not know the answers to, she found out and got back to us. Laurie went above & beyond what most real estate agents do and was more than happy to help. Laurie was very respectful of us and thoughtful. She always had a positive outlook on the situation that everything would work out, very reassuring. I will not hesitate to recommend Laurie to anyone buying or selling and will definitely use her in our next real estate purchase.”

Bob & Cheryl - Perkasie, PA


She was a true professional, displaying great knowledge of the area and market as well as creative ideas to market my home.
“In these trying economic times, Laurie really came through for me. She was a true professional, displaying great knowledge of the area and market as well as creative ideas to market my home. It was obvious she took a lot of care in preparing a market summary and a breakdown of what price I could expect to receive for my home. I was overwhelmed with the amount of help she provided me in preparing and staging my home for sale. Laurie was always available to take my calls and was always the voice of reason. Laurie and her staff are top notch and anyone would be in a better position with Laurie as their Realtor. I would recommend her to anyone I know selling or buying a home.”

Herman - Jamison, PA


Laurie worked harder than anyone could imagine to prep, market and sell our home in record time - 12 days!
“Laurie worked with us to sell our home in the height of the economic and real estate downturn during the summer of 2011. Having spent our entire adult lives in PA, we were moving to the Midwest for a new job; daunting both personally and in terms of our selling our home.
Laurie worked harder than anyone could imagine to prep, market and sell our home in record time - 12 days! Although this is clearly remarkable, the most amazing part of our experience with Laurie was the enormous dedication and energy she put into selling our home. She went above and beyond using not only her business and marketing expertise, but her compassion for our family and the stress of moving three young children in a very short time.
Laurie gave so much to our family and to the work of selling our home helping with staging, managing vendors and doing odds and ends to prep our home and help set up for showings while we traveled, to coordinating and managing the sale after we had already relocated.
Laurie not only dedicated herself professionally, but also personally, resulting in an unprecedented quick turn around and smooth closing along with the comfort in knowing that Laurie truly cared for our family and the work she was doing to sell our home.”

Jennifer - Buckingham, PA


Laurie's effort, resourcefulness, and communication style made my experience in finding a rental property easy and efficient.
“I am writing in recognition of the phenomenal, conscientious, and professional work regarding Laurie Dau. Laurie's effort, resourcefulness, and communication style made my experience in finding a rental property easy and efficient. Laurie helped me achieve my goals with care and thoughtfulness, giving me the same respect and treatment as if I were a high profile, high-end client. Laurie never demonstrated any frustration during my times of indecision and went, in my opinion, above and beyond her job description in developing a trusting and interpersonal relationship with me. Based on my positive experience, I will not hesitate to recommend Laurie to anyone facing any transaction of a property.”

Sam - Perkasie, PA


She is committed, dedicated, trustworthy, caring and very hard working.
