“Turning Your Dreams into an Address”
What They’re Saying...
We could not have been more fortunate than having Laureen Koch help us with the sale of our mom's home. My sisters and I don't live in Rhode Island, and Laureen patiently walked us through the process and answered our many, many questions. In addition to thoroughly knowing the local real estate business, she was very kind and also light-hearted and practical. She gave us clear guidance about what work we needed to get done on the house to get it ready to sell and what was not necessary – and why. She provided us with numerous helpful referrals to get all the services we needed. She always answered our texts and emails promptly and thoroughly. Her strategy resulted in an outstanding offer that exceeded all our expectations. We recommend her highly and are very grateful to have worked with her!

Selling a house can be a stressful time, but working with Laureen is like being with your best friend. You know you can trust her to want the best for you, to be in your corner, to represent you in the most positive and profitable way possible. She is that rare and perfect combination of knowledgeable professional and really good person. She has impeccable communication skills and is right on top of everything at all times. She anticipated our concerns and always had the answers in hand. She knew just what we needed to do to ready the house for sale -what was worth doing and what was not. We could not be happier with her services and recommend her without reservation!
Nancy; South Kingstown
Thank you very much, Laureen, for all of your hard work and personal attention as we sold our house. Your professionalism, expert negotiating, attention to detail, and sincere effort on our behalf was truly appreciated, and will never be forgotten. It has been our pleasure.

Laureen was helpful and patient during our long search for a second home. Once we chose a property, Laureen was very knowledgeable and walked us through each and every step we needed to take to purchase our home. Laureen has also put us in contact with other professionals who we needed to make our dream of owning a beach house come true.

Joe; South Kingstown, RI
Laureen was an absolute pleasure to work with while selling our home and purchasing another. She literally sold our home in a matter of hours. While purchasing our new home, she was also extremely helpful before and after the purchase. Her follow-through on anything I requested was amazing. Having bought and sold 8 homes over the years, I have worked with several realtors. By far, this was the most pleasant experience.
Anthony; Cranston, RI
What made up my mind after interviewing three other realtors in choosing Laureen Koch, was first her overall professional, sincere, nice attitude toward me and willingness to sell my property. Laureen had the best follow up, during entire process. Not once did she not do what she said she would, and her efforts in alot of matters that really were not her responsibility were handled so well. She went above and beyond what I would have expected in a Realtor I highlty recommend Laureen she was an absolute pleasure to work with. Not once were there any issures she couldn't handle.Local knowledge: 5 starsProcess expertise: 5 starsResponsiveness: 5 starsNegotiation skills: 5 stars

Laureen Koch was the ideal choice when it was time for us to choose a realtor. In addition to her obvious knowledge of the South County area and recent market trends, Laureen convinced us that she was the right person with the right personality for the job during our initial meeting, taking the time to listen to our concerns as the parents of a special needs child who were still recovering from an exhaustive move a month earlier. Throughout the process, Laureen provided us with expert guidance and advice regarding the pricing and readying of our property for sale, all the while exuding a calm, reassuring confidence. She is a consummate professional at her trade, and there is no nicer person we could have hoped to work with as Laureen.
Deb & Arthur; South County, RI
Laureen Koch is a true professional. Right from our initial contact, she was in communication with us. She listened, learned and understood our needs. Working over long distance, Laureen would send us listings to review and would assist with any questions. She was dependable and patient when meeting for showings, she listened to our comments and often pointed out details to our attention. Our offer/negotiations process occurred in an efficient manner, as Laureen provided the advice and documents needed, demonstrating her dedication to a client although she was on vacation with family hundreds of miles away. She guided us through the closing process, referring us to professionals in the area to assist with our closing. I would highly recommend Laureen to anyone buying or selling a property as she puts 150% into her job!
Gayle & Ralph; Narragansett, RI
We had found a property online that Laureen was the agent for. She was helpful and honest while showing us the property. Although we didn't end up making a deal on that property, when we found the right one, we went back to her for her expertise on the Narragansett area and market. We now own our very own beach house and we can't thank her enough for making things go as smoothly as possible. She had contacts in the area to help with the mortgage, insurance and a lawyer. We trusted her and were not disappointed!
Jeff & Laura; Narragansett, RI

I can tell you with complete confidence:If you are searching for a primary home, a vacation home, or if you are listing your current property, Laureen Koch is the Realtor you want. Period.Over the last twenty-three years of buying and selling property in Connecticut, Rhode Island, New York, Pennsylvania – I've dealt with a broad spectrum of agents and brokers. Some were good … some were bad … but until now, none were truly excellent.I had the pleasure of meeting Laureen for the first time when she was hosting an open house (in a lovely beach home in South Kingstown). I was so impressed with her obvious skill and depth of knowledge, that I kept her card in my files for over a year. When I finally had an occasion to call her (to make an offer in on a very small property) Laureen had no way of knowing that I had bought and sold over $15,000,000 in properties over the last two decades – and that my experience in dealing with Realtors was extensive.When we met to look over the property, the only thing Laureen knew of me was that I was a guy with his wife (and four kids in tow) looking at a very modest little home.I always find that is the ultimate test – see the kind of service you receive when someone thinks you are just starting out – or you have very limited resources. It’s simple to have someone jump through hoops to help you if large dollars are on the table. The same usually isn't true if the deal is small … but Laureen proved to be the extreme exception to that rule.From a family prospective, she was wonderful. She was incredibly gracious to my wife and my children (something that is VERY important to me). From a buyer’s prospective, she was unrivaled… very up to date, very responsive, and very knowledgeable. Her negotiating prowess allowed me to make the purchase – at a huge discount – paying well under the home’s appraised value. The deal went through without a hitch – in large part to Laureen’s attention to detail and well-honed skills.I would recommend Laureen to you without the slightest hesitation. If you are a first time homebuyer, someone looking for a trophy property, an investor, or a seller… Laureen will do the job you need her to do – and she will do it well.Call her today. You will not be disappointed.

Top Rate Professional best describes our dealings with Laureen. Her assistance through the entire pricing, listing and closing process was fantastic. We were in the process of moving out of state during the closing and Laureen was instrumental in keeping everything on track. Simply put, we could not have gotten through this sale without her. WE BOTH recommend her highly.
Lynne & Jim; Narragansett, RI
Laureen was referred to us by good friends as an honest and reliable realtor... and that describes her perfectly. She consistently gave us sound advice based upon his past experience and history which allowed us to make the best decisions for us. We wholeheartedly recommend her as a trustworthy and knowledgeable realtor.

Beth Niles
We consider ourselves very fortunate to have had Laureen Koch of Lila Delman Real Estate as our agent for the recent sale of our home in Richmond, RI. From the start she gave us valuable advice on how to prepare our house for sale. Her comparative market analysis was very helpful in order to determine the right asking price to attract buyers and get our house sold. Not only did we have many showings as soon as the listing became active, we had a qualified buyer within three weeks. She helped us through the offer negotiations, the home inspection glitch that required more work on our part all with an upbeat, positive, can do attitude. Laureen was always available, responsive to all our queries and provided important suggestions and feedback. Selling one's home is an overwhelming and often an arduous task but Laureen made it all a very positive experience. We couldn't have been more pleased. We are very happy to highly recommend her!

Laureen is amazing! It was hard for us to see houses we wanted on a moments notice since we were moving to RI from NY, but Laureen was always on top of what was new on the market and was constantly in touch with us. She represented us fairly when we couldn't be in RI and helped us to find the perfect home. She never pushed and always respected our decisions as far as what homes we preferred to see, and was always available to talk to. She seriously cares for her clients and I would recommend her a hundred times over! I am also very happy to have kept in touch with her, as she still checks on us to make sure we are learning all we need to know about our new town!
Lanie Rose; South Kingstown, RI
We would assuredly recommend Laureen to anyone serious about selling their home. Her expert guidance and personal touch made our experience an excellent one. Laureen was readily available, always worked around our schedules for showings and gave keen insight on how to best present our house. We deeply appreciated her efforts.
Seller from Warwick
Thank you so much, Laureen, for your time, your dedication, and excellent advice which made the sale of our home so successful! Your professionalism, hard work, energy, and efficiency made the selling process go smoothly and stress free for us. We are very happy to have chosen you as our Realtor and will definitely recommend you to friends!
S.Z. South Kingstown
Laureen was incredibly patient with us as we searched for the condo in Narragansett that made the most sense for us and our budget. Her knowledge of the area and the condo properties was invaluable to us. Although we had vacationed here for several years, her perspective, advice and counsel really made the difference in our decision making process. And, perhaps more importantly, we connected with her on a personal level. We highly recommend working with her.
Jay; Narragansett
"Working with Laureen to purchase our first home was an absolute delight. My wife and I had a very specific (though not unrealistic) vision of what our first home would be, but in a seller's market with low inventory and nearing the holidays, nothing fit the bill. We met Laureen at an open house she was representing that wasn't quite right for us, but Laureen stood out. She struck us as being friendly, but professional, informative, but not remotely pushy, and someone who we would be comfortable working with. We were right! We were very open with Laureen about what we wanted and that we weren't in a hurry to settle on something that didn't meet our criteria, and she was super understanding and totally open to a long-term search. We told her we had a list of houses that we wanted to see, she set up viewings the next weekend and we were off on a whirlwind of open houses and viewings for the next few weeks. Unexpectedly, we ended up finding our dream house within a month! And with Laureen's help negotiating, we ended up getting it for an amazing price. Laureen was vital in holding our hand through the buying process, at our request recommending a home inspector (amazing experience), and a real estate lawyer (again, totally painless -- pleasant even). From start to finish, Laureen was available, informative, open, and honest. We always felt like she was on our side and never felt pressured. It was like shopping with a friend. We would 100% recommend Laureen to help you buy a home!"
rjcolgan; North Kingstown
Laureen called me on the day I really decided to sell my property and I arranged to meet her. I instantly liked her and listed my home. She brought me 2 offers the first week and we sold it in 3 weeks for the asking price to a couple who loved the property. She kept me informed about every showing and went above and beyond until the closing. I highly recommend her, she is fantastic.
Sharon; Saunderstown
Thank you for everything, Laureen. I couldn't have done it without you! Now I know why my father insisted that I go to you to sell his condo! Your guidance, knowledge, negotiating skills, and professionalism were top notch. You handled everything seamlessly to make this transaction go smoothly.
Lois, Narragansett
Laureen worked with us for 1 year to find the perfect beach house within our price range. Laureen's knowledge, ethics, and professional courtesy made our dream come true.
Gary; CT
Laureen was very detailed and thorough from our very first meeting to the very day of the closing. I would and will tell anyone who’s thinking of either buying or selling to speak to Laureen first!
