About Laura Carver
My Client-First Philosophy
There are many qualities and skills that go into being an excellent real estate professional - integrity, in-depth community and market knowledge, marketing savvy, effective negotiation skills and a high-quality professional network, all of which are hallmarks of how I work.
That said, in my experience as a real estate professional, I've also found that providing the very best service is essentially about putting my clients first. This means keeping myself accessible, being a good listener as well as a good communicator, and responding quickly to your needs.
This "client first" philosophy has always been my approach and it requires me to continually improve my skills and ways of doing business. In addition, I've found that the latest technologies are enabling me to do everything I've always done, only much more quickly and efficiently. They've also helped me to extend the range of services I provide to my clients.
PROFESSIONAL EDUCATION and CERTIFICATIONS
Memberships and Awards: I'm an award-winning Top Producer at RE/MAX PowerPro and a member of the RE/MAX Executive Club. These awards are a direct result of my commitment to customer service from start to finish - and beyond. Memberships include the National Association of Realtors, the Florida Association of Realtors, South Broward Board of Realtors, and the Council of Residential Specialists.
I'm proud to be a Certified Residential Specialist (CRS), a coveted designation earned by only 4% of Realtors nationwide. In addition to advanced training, education and marketplace expertise, CRS agents must also certify a significant mix of experience and number of real estate transactions. Certified Residential Specialists are considered by many to be among the best in our industry.
Realtors with the Graduate, Realtor Institute (GRI) designation are nationally recognized as top performers in the real estate marketplace. The GRI program provides in-depth training on several issues related to the purchase or sale of real estate.
Do you know someone facing foreclosure? As a Certified Distressed Property Expert (CDPE), I have the tools, information and tactics to assist homeowners in distress. If you have fallen behind on your payments - or are about to do so - please call me for a confidential discussion of your options. I'm here to help.
With regard to short sales, the law requires that we post this IMPORTANT NOTICE: RE/MAX PowerPro Realty is not associated with the government, and our service is not approved by the government or your lender. Even if you accept this offer and use our service, your lender may not agree to change your loan. If you stop paying your mortgage, you could lose your home and damage your credit.
Does your home need some "tweaking" before we begin the marketing process? As an Accredited Staging Professional (ASP™), I have the skills you'll need to get started. Before placing a home on the market, I'll walk through the property with you and indicate the adjustments that should be made, whether it's a fresh coat of paint, flowers at the front door, or rearranging the furniture. I provide my sellers with a "to do" list that I believe will help you get the most money for your property - especially important in today's real estate market.
AREA KNOWLEDGE
As a resident of South Florida for 25 years, and a Chapel Trail resident for more than a decade, I've certainly seen some changes in our neighborhoods and I know the area well. That knowledge definitely is an asset to my customers, whether you're buying or selling.
If you'd like to sell or buy a home in Broward County, please contact me. I'm at your service.
