SARA LAURO Sales Representative Royal LePage Maximum Realty 416-324-2626 ext 251 saralauro@royallepage.ca www.saralauro.ca

Are you looking for a REALTOR® who will listen, advise, and guide rather than push? If so, you've come to the right place.

I'm Sara Lauro, and my mission in real estate is to help my clients achieve their real estate goals by making the best decisions for their particular situation. Toward that end, I listen – so I know what is most important to them. I advise and guide them in their decisions while I do my part to achieve the results they want.

The result is a happy one for me – my clients turn into friends for life, and they eagerly send their friends and family to me when they need a REALTOR®.

My clients expect the best from me, and they get it – beginning with communication. Not only do I keep them informed of everything related to their purchase or sale; they know that if they call or email with a question or concern I'll respond as quickly as possible. If they just need to "talk something out," I'll take the time to listen.

Clients also know that I won't mislead them, and that I'll give them my honest opinion. If I see a potential problem, I'll share that thought rather than let them go ahead with a decision that might not be beneficial.

When you want a REALTOR® who will stay in touch, give you all the facts, offer honest opinions, assist you to weigh the pros and cons of your real estate decisions, call me. It will be my pleasure to help make your real estate dreams come true.

I look forward to hearing from you and working with you.

What My Clients Had To Say….. Emails to my Broker: Hi Marcello, I wish to record my sincere thanks to Sara for her excellent services related to the sale of my house at 104, terra road, woodbridge. I was under the impression that the role of the agent starts during listing and ends after close of sale. Well, Sara has different opinion. She helped me with preparation of the house for sale, getting contractors for house upgrade, resolving tough issues during the sale and also settling issues after the sale. My family and I are indebted to Sara for the whole process. If I ever open my brokerage (don't worry, I'm not going to), I will do everything to get Sara in my team. Please convey our heartfelt thanks to Sara. Best regards, V Venkatesh **************** Dear Broker, I am writing to express my sincerest appreciation with Realtor Sara Lauro, who represented my mom in her recent sale of her home. My Mom (a newly widow) was torn with the idea of selling her home but Sara remained patient and professional throughout the entire process. Sara’s patience and empathetic attitude is exactly what my Mom needed to enlist her home. Sara really demonstrated her expertise proficiently. She is savvy, personable and knows the market inside out. She is easy to talk to, good listener, easily available and makes it a point to help you meet your purpose rather just fulfilling her goals. To reiterate, were are nothing but pleased with Sara and recommend her to everyone. Sincerely, The Falcone Family **************** Hi Sara, Mike and I wanted to thank you very much for all the extra time and dedication you put into the buying and selling of our homes, all in less than 2 weeks! I surely doubt there is another Agent out there with the same, or even close to, dedication and respect that you shared and showed us from day 1. Not only are you a "bad-ass" at negotiating, but it is very obvious that you love what you do as it shows in your passion and caring nature. What other Agent would watch our dog during a 3 hour home inspection!? You delivered everything and more that you promised. From our first encounter with you, Mike and I knew you were the one! I hope Royal Le Page knows they have a great Agent in their midst. Looking forward to referring you to all my friends, family and acquaintances. Kindest regards, Angela G & Michael F **************** It was a long and trying journey but Sara was with us and there for us every step of the way. We've had such a great experience working with Sara. She has made the process of purchasing and selling an easy experience despite the many obstacles we faced. Sara was patient and caring and extremely knowledgable in her profession. Sara made sure we understood the various options we had in selling our home and took care of everything. She literally took all of the anxiety out of the process and made it a truly pleasant experience. And most importantly Sara was there post sale to answer questions, offer support and deal the unique circumstances we have to face. Thank you Sara. We'll miss you. Til next time!
