Congratulations on your appointment to President of Laffey Real Estate. Since we have had the pleasure of working together for the better part of 15 years, I know the depth of your dedication and expertise. As a realtor, you are on the top of your game.

LISTED & SOLD OUR HOME - EAST NORWICH: I have to start by saying “thank you”, “thank you”. You have done what I thought would be impossible. You SOLD my house to the very first person who came to see it during the first open house. In fact, the first 2 buyers who came both wanted to buy—AMAZING! Why amazing? Because the previous realtor spent 8 months trying to sell my house with no success. She had 8 open houses and 4 people in total came to see. You and your staff had one open house, the first week and 4 people came, 2 wanted to buy. That is the result of incredible marketing, experience and hard work. We made a great decision choosing you at Laffey to market our home for us. Please be sure that we will recommend you to anyone looking for the BEST realtor. We will always be thankful to you and your staff. Paul & Amelia
