"Andy Tomlin Excel Maven, Traveler, Photographer & Vegetarian Cook We met Laura Swanberg at a house showing in January 2012. We hit it off immediately, and we could see that she knew her stuff with respect to the South Florida Residential market. We ended up working with her exclusively on the location and purchase of a home in Margate. She negotiated the deal points effectively, and we closed the transaction in April 2012. Based on our positive experience purchasing the Margate home, we listed our Hollywood home for sale with Laura in April 2012. Her competitive market analysis was very thorough, and we agreed with her suggested listing price. We went to contract in August 2012, and ended up selling our home for 96% of our asking price. The contract closed in September 2012. Laura is head and shoulders above all the other Realtors we have come in contact with over the years!”
TOM JAINES
"W. Thomas (Tom) Jahnes Senior Marketing Director, Financial Solutions at Brightstar If you’re looking to make a move to, or within South Florida, contact Laura. I first met her a year ago as my family and I began our search for a new home here. In that time she has impressed me with her in-depth knowledge of market dynamics in several counties. The facts and data she has on hand, plus her creativity and friendliness have combined to make her a trusted source of advice. Frankly, without Laura I don’t think we would have been able to get a good a deal as we did; I credit her with the creative thinking and patience that enabled us to make a recent purchase; and we are truly grateful. We have now turned to her again to help us market our old home – and again she has proven to be a source of sound advice. She is a true pleasure to work with and I recommend her without hesitation to anyone looking for residential real estate in South Florida.”

SHARON GOWIN
"Sharon Gowen Financial Services, Community Development and Homebuyer Education Specialist I hired Laura when looking to purchase a home in the Greater Ft Lauderdale area. The relationship was exceptionally productive. Laura is highly knowledgeable, was able to identify homes meeting my criteria, devoted time and energy to preparation before taking me to view properties so that we knew what to expect. She followed through on all aspects of the transaction, worked well with the mortgage broker and inspectors, and made the process absolutely painless; despite the home we ultimately purchased being a foreclosure with a massive number of untidy loose ends. I would highly recommend Laura for any residential transaction; she's professional, smart, effective and personable.”

Laura and her team helped prep my house, ran advertisements, conducted open houses and helped manage the upkeep of my home as I was in the middle of relocation. Laura was available all hours of the day to review the status of showings, brainstorm ideas and even discuss the increasingly difficult S. Florida real estate market at the time. She understood my concerns and provided constructive ideas for maximizing the marketability of the property and displayed a true concern for minimizing costs.

NANCY BENIGNI
"Nancy Benigni IT Consultant at CASE Partners Laura was on top of our condo purchase every step of the way. Since we only had two days to see units for sale, she worked hard to arrange as many appointments as possible. She was very helpful in pointing our areas we should pay special attention to. When we decided to make an offer, she guided us through every step of the process. Since we were in CT and were buying a condo in FL, we had to rely on Laura a great deal. She was always prompt and very patient when answering our questions. I would definitely work with Laura again!”

ROB NICKEL
“Rob Nickel, SPHR Vice President at Macys INC I first began to work with Laura when I was fortunate enough to have an opportunity to relocate to the greater Miami area. Laura picked me up one morning, and spent the entire day showing me properties and educating me on various areas and developments. Throughout the viewing and selection process, she was always quick to respond to any questions or messages that I left. Laura has strong relationships with many of her peers and is well connected to the community - both of which were invaluable in helping me with the entire process."
MARK CHARNEY
Mark Charney Real Estate Investor, New York, New York. I was thrilled with the job that Laura Swanberg did for me. I had a limited amount of time to look at properties and she showed 8 homes to me over a weekend. I settled on a home in Pompano Beach. The home needed quite a few repairs and Laura negotiated a new roof for the house, new fencing around the home, repairs to the sea wall, and a new washer and dryer all at the seller’s cost. Laura did a great job getting so much for me. I appreciated her time, effort, and attention to details. I would use Laura again anytime and will recommend her to my friends and family!”
ROB AND JOANN ROEHL
Laura has been wonderful to work with since day 1. I started looking for a property in South Florida with a focus on Weston. It took a while for me but with Laura's patience we were able to find a place that works for us. The offer / purchase process went very smooth. Laura has also gone above & well beyond our expectations to help my wife & I by looking after our property when we're gone. Our home in Weston is a secondary property. It provides us the peace of mind we need in order to make ownership possible. We would use her again and again!

I met Laura Swanberg in the latter part of 2007 when I decided to purchase my first home. I met her by chance, but I do not believe in coincidences, she was meant to be my realtor.
Our searches for homes were a lengthy process which took us well into 2008. During this time, Laura work tirelessly to ensure that I found the right house to call home, she was never pushy or tried to talk me into a home that did not suit me. Instead, we would meet for coffee, go over her list of houses to look at and we would schedule visits during the week and on weekends, she was relentless and would not stop until she found my first home. I’ll never forget it, it was a Saturday mid-morning, I was with my brother in law, and when I drove up to the location and saw Laura waiting for me, the moment I parked my vehicle, I knew this would be my home, and so it was, I closed on September 18, 2008 with Laura’s smiling facing by my side. She was not just my realtor; she had become a friend and family. I lived happily in my first home for (13) years with my mother. ~~ Milly Caraballo

So when in 2021 I decided to put my home up for sale to move closer to family in Indian River County with my mom, I called my beautiful friend and realtor, Laura Swanberg, and she made it happen all over again for me, holding scheduled appointments during the Memorial Day weekend, and having more than (8) offers on my home by end of Memorial Day. I found the right family to purchase my first home and make it their first home. The process was seamless, and Laura always took off any worries I may have had because she does not treat you like most salespersons would, she treats you like family and always goes above and beyond to make her client happy. I would never use anyone else for any real estate need, but Laura Swanberg, she is a gem and a true professional.

My wife and I purchased a home in Margate on April 9, 2012. We used Laura as our agent to handle the purchase and everything went very smoothly. Of course when we were ready to sell and move a bit further up north the first person we thought of was Laura. She did spectacular work for us over the years and we knew she was the right agent for the job. She handled the marketing for our home with her usual aplomb. Her knowledge is without question and her abilities are top-notch. Our house sold within a week and came to a successful conclusion. We would always use Laura for our real estate needs. She has become a friend and like a member of our family over the years.
