TESTIMONIALS

Thank you so much for the beautiful gift basket and for helping us find such a great house! We absolutely love it! It is the perfect house for us. We enjoyed working with you and look forward to working with you again in the future.
Sincerely, Christa & Michael

How can we ever thank you for your tireless effort in finding us a home? You went above and beyond and found us the perfect place!
Thank you, Kerry & Joe

Please accept this token of appreciation. Your genuine concern was very much appreciated at a very stressful time. I thank you for all you did. I feel as though you are my lucky charm. Thank you, Dale

Thanks so much for the time and effort you put into helping us find a new home. It was a pleasure working with you all. Don't be a stranger, stop by if you are in the area. Thank you, Jennifer & Jonathan

As first-time homebuyers, we were unfamiliar to the process that goes along with buying a house. Laura was there along the way to guide us through every step. Laura was extremely professional yet warm and understanding. She knew exactly what we were looking for and she found it! It wasn't just a 'starter house', it was a home where our family would grow! Kristen & Bill Corbett

Laura came to us on a recommendation from a previous client that purchased a home through her. We would certainly pass on that recommendation! We found her not only to be well informed on the real estate market in general, but also quite proficient in ascertaining exactly what we were looking for in a home. We never felt like we were being pushed into a purchase. If you've been with other real estate agents, then you know when you're with a professional. Thanks again! Brian & Brenda Mapes

Dear Laura, Thank you so much for all the time and effort you put into our deals. You're a real professional! We can't say enough good things about you. Thanks again, Kathy & Bruce

Dear Laura, We can't thank you enough for all you have done for us. You helped us find the perfect home and handled so many things for us since we were in New Jersey. We appreciate everything so much! Thank you, Shaun & Maryellen

I've been wanting to thank you and your staff for your fantastic help selling Fred's houses. You did an outstanding job for us and we're very grateful for your expertise. You and your staff made a difficult time so much easier. The only problem we have now is selling our home in Monroe and comparing our Oregon realtor with you! She just isn't you... she doesn't communicate with us regularly and it takes too long to return our calls. How about sending clones of you and Lauren to help us!?!?! You were so good at letting us know what was happening and working through problems. Thanks again for all your help! Janet B.

Dear Laura, Lauren, & Staff, Thank you so much for your professionalism and your hardwork which resulted in the sale of my co-op. In this market, I didn't think my place would ever sell, but due to your great eforts, it has and I can now breathe a sigh of relief. Thanks again and I'll be sure to recommend you in the future! Appreciatively, F. W.

Dear Laura, Just wanted to say Thank You for the GREAT job you did in selling my home and for being such a true professional in a difficult situation. Thanks to you, my life is much smoother now! Anthony

I just wanted to say Thank You to you and your wonderful staff! I can't say enough about the girls and the way they always treated me. If I ever called and left a message, I would surely get a return call right away. I also appreciate all the advertising and hard work you put into the sale of our home. It was difficult for us being so far away, but you made it all happen! I would recommend you and your staff to anyone wanting to sell or buy a home. Again, a sincere thank you for all that you did. Patty J.

Dear Laura and Lauren, I don't think I will ever be able to express how much I appreciate all you have done for my family. I truly feel without your diligence, positive attitude, and knowledge in your field, we would not be living in our Dream Home today! Not only were you able to sell out house in a market that has seen some difficult times, but you managed to find us a home that fit every descriptor we gave you. As a self-confessed neurotic, you took every call, showed us every house we requested to see, and responded to every e-mail and text without ever making me feel as if I was inconveniencing either of you; for that I am very grateful.

With great appreciation,

Joe and Lori Papgni

Dear Laura and Lauren, We want to take this opportunity to express our gratitude in helping us sell our original house and buy our Dream Home! We appreciate all of the hard work and effort you put in. You made what could have been a stressful experience very easy. We thank you deeply.
Love, Matt & Carolyn C.

About Us

Laura M. Cochran

Licensed Broker Associate

In today's real estate market, buyers and sellers need the best advice they can obtain. My staff and I can be your key to success!

A lifelong Suffolk County resident, I am very well aware of the challenges of finding the right, affordable home on Long Island. To assist families, I became a Licensed Real Estate Agent 15 years ago and am now a Licensed Broker Associate. I am committed to providing the highest quality service to all of my clients and customers and to offering them the most comprehensive Real Estate services available.

Hire a Top Agent!

For the last decade, I have been awarded Top Agent Honors at H&G Realty NY Inc., one of the largest Real Estate companies in Suffolk County, with more than 200 agents. This consistent performance has earned me the distinction of being in the Top 1% of ALL Realtors on Long Island! Even with the declining market, I have remained Top Sales Agent.

My success can be attributed to hard work, training, dedication, and a consistent commitment to providing superior customer service. These efforts have earned me the confidence of thousands of customers who come back to me time and time again, and who often refer me to their friends and family. In addition, many Suffolk professionals such as bankers, attorneys, accountants, physicians, and many others have entrusted me with the sale or purchase of their personal residences and have referred their clients to me as well. I am very proud of the reputation I have in the community:

aggressive marketer;
skillful negotiator;
knowledgeable deal maker;
and fair player.

To meet the needs of my growing clientele and to serve you, I now have 2 full-time Sales Specialists and a full-time Licensed Office Assistant working with me at all times. My team will help to ensure your satisfaction, whether you are buying or selling, 7 days a week, 24 hours a day.

What We Provide to You

Sellers receive a free, no obligation Comparative Market Analysis of their homes. If you join the growing number of other homeowners who have chosen to list with me, we will market your home extensively. Each week, we run full page ads in Newsday, you will be featured on Optimum Homes, Cablevision channel 606, and you will be on many Web sites. I also am able to offer both buyers and sellers a comprehensive Home Warranty at little or no cost.

At Your Service!

If you are in the market to purchase, my team and I are available every day, 7 days a week, to assist you. We research homes using a sophisticated computer-based multiple listing service, set appointments, and take you out to view properties at your convenience: day, night, and on weekends. We also offer a Prospect Match service that automatically emails you homes that meet your search criteria as soon as they are listed. Our team can show you ANY home on the market, even if it is listed with another agency. Let us do the work for you!

When you hire me as your Realtor Professional, you will be assured a smooth deal. We will answer any questions and can solve any problems that may arise from listing to contract to closing.

Short Sales - You Have Other Options

Short Sales are the current trend and a growing part of this market. The number of Short Sales is exploding! Whether buying or selling, you need an agent who is knowledgeable in this area. Do not be fooled by third-party companies offering to help or asking for an up-front fee. There is usually no charge to the Seller and there is never a charge up-front. Banks do not authorize third-party negotiator fees, so you end up paying them out of pocket. Don't fall victim to a Realtor who claims to know how to handle a short sale, gets your listing, and throws the file onto an attorney's lap. Ask them to show you listings that they have handled in the past. Attorney's are too busy with other transactions and files to be consumed by a short sale. You need an agent who is hands-on, which is what I am. From listing to closing, I handle every part of the transaction. One mistake or one follow-up call not made and a deal could crumble. The process is a lengthy and time-consuming one, and we must have patience to get the deal closed. As a top Realtor, I am Short Sale Certified through Long Island Board of Realtors and am continuing to list, sell, and negotiate these properties, not only for my own listings, but for other Realtors as well. I have a 100% approval rate for the dozens of Short Sales I have handled in recent years.

If you are considering selling your home, or purchasing a new one, please feel free to explore my Web site to view listings, read school reports, and learn about financing options. Or, call me at (631) 474-2000, ext. 129.

I look forward to meeting all of your Real Estate needs!

Thank you,
Laura M. Cochran
