Client Testimonials
My top-notch customer service and commitment to our clients is second-to-none.
Raymond Roberts, Trustee
It's a shame that we are limited to just five stars. Laura Slocumb deserves many, many more than that.
I was named as successor trustee and executor for my uncle. In February, I received a call that he had passed and had to travel from Pittsburgh to Florida to handle his affairs (which would include the sale of his house). Among his papers was a document entitled "WHAT TO DO WHEN I DIE". One of the items discussed the sale of his house, and had Laura's business card with the instruction to call her. So I did. I am very grateful for my uncle doing this.
As an out of state executor/trustee, it was very difficult to handle everything that was needed with the sale of the house. Laura stepped in and took most of the heavy lifting on her shoulders. She has been a God-send. From arranging the clean-out, the estate sale, to assisting with finding contractors to make required repairs, she has done far, far more than I would have ever expected a realtor to do. She helped me in so many ways to do things that were impossible for me to do from Pennsylvania.
Laura went above and beyond, and then a lot further, in making the whole house sale experience easy. She saw a need and filled it. From day one to the day of closing (and even further), Laura has been there to help in any possible way that she could. Laura has set the customer service bar so high, that it makes me rethink how I take care of my own clients.
Laura provided so much more than exceptional service. I don't have the words to adequately recommend her. If you need a realtor, you will not find a better one than Laura Slocumb. Period.
Warren Clary, Seller
I have owned four houses. I just sold my house on Nevada Rd. Lakeland FL, and moved into independent living at WestMinster Lakeland. This was the best move and house sale I have ever had, thanks to Laura Slocumb of Tribute Realty!
I asked the people at WestMinster Lakeland what realtors they had used? From the people I talked to, Laura Slocumb of Tribute Realty was who I contacted.
She has extensive knowledge in house selling. She started with an outline:
o How to get the house ready for sale
+ What cost-effective repairs need to be done
+ Cleaning areas for appearance, roof, driveway, etc.
+ Giving things away, clothing, furniture, books, etc.
+ Moving out of the house, and overall cleanup
+ Photographing house indoor, outdoor, aerial photos
+ Posting house for sale
o Management of selling house:
+ Establish selling price and conditions
+ Negotiating with buyer to establish price
+ Document management and closing
Laura was outstanding in these areas. The house was on the market in 3 weeks at minimal cost. I got a good fair price, and management of closing was excellent.
Jefferson Valencia, Buyer
Laura is by far the best Realtor I have ever come across. she goes the extra mile to make sure everything stays on track to get you across the finish line. Laura helped us close on our 5 acre property. Laura is the perfect example of a Realtor with real work ethics. Words cannot explain the awesome experience we had with her. We cannot thank Laura enough for everything she did for us.
Julianne Hansen, Seller
I do not believe any other person would have given so much of themselves to help me. Thankful, grateful, appreciative, to name just a few of my thoughts. I highly recommend you, Laura!
