Terrific experience 24/7. From start to close the Laue team was forthcoming with all of the strategies and information a new home buyer needs to make the best decision for their family. My experience with the Laue Team was down to earth comfortable. At the same time the process was elevated by working with the Laue team due to their greater amount of skill navigating this difficult home buying market. Their talented team leader Rick helped me through the wrong listings to quickly close the right one for my family before the season ended. Thank you Rick and Keisha
Thank you Mary

All I can say is Mary Watt's is the best! We are new to the area and Mary held our hand through getting to know the area and what houses would fit our family the best. She really listened to our concerns when visiting homes. And in the end we found the home perfect for us. Thanks Mary and the Laue Team for your support. --max

We cant say enough good things about working with Rick and the Laue team. We have 3 children ages 3 and under and were nervous about undertaking the daunting challenge of trying to buy a home in this market. We immediately felt comfortable working with Rick due to his professionalism and extensive knowledge of the Wilsonville market and real estate in general. He was always prompt and clear in his communication and was even willing to talk after hours to accommodate our needs. He found us our dream home the day after we started working with him and he and his team supported us every step of

The Laue Team was excellent, from start to finish. They explained the selling process, answered all of our questions and gave us critical recommendations and guidance. Our home was listed on Thursday afternoon and we accepted one of four offers (8.5% over asking) on Sunday. There were 20 showings during those four days. What a great experience!!

We worked with Nic Wilson on the Laue Team and can't recommend him enough. He was very responsive, super knowledgeable about everything in the process and helped us sell for more than we thought we could. Personally just a great human being to work with as well.
