Fetching Homes for Every Family

What do Clients Say?

We had the pleasure of working with Laura Shinkle during the purchase of our new build property and the sale of our previous home. From start to finish, Laura was exceptional in her approach—keeping us informed at every step and providing practical solutions whenever challenges arose. One of the most impressive aspects of working with Laura was her clear and consistent communication. Whether it was navigating the complexities of a new construction or managing the sale process, she made sure we always knew what was happening and what to expect next. Her proactive updates helped eliminate surprises and kept everything moving smoothly. Laura’s deep understanding of the local market proved invaluable in pricing our home. She strategically positioned it to sell quickly while maximizing our return, even in a challenging market. Her expertise and market insights made us feel confident in the decisions we were making. Beyond her professional skills, Laura’s genuine care for her clients sets her apart. She truly listened to our needs and advocated for our best interests, making the entire experience as seamless as possible. We highly recommend Laura Shinkle to anyone looking to buy or sell a home. Her knowledge, communication skills, and client-focused approach make her an outstanding realtor.

If you're searching for a realtor around Charlotte, congratulations on finding Laura Shinkle, the best there is! Choosing to work with Laura for my own homebuying journey is one of the best decisions I've ever made. In what could have been an incredibly stressful time — trying to find and close on a home in under 2 months — Laura immediately understood exactly what I was looking for and took all the stress away. Her knowledge of Charlotte and expertise with real estate helped me focus my searching, and we were able to find an amazing place and have our offer (at an even more amazing price) accepted all within just a couple weeks . I enjoyed learning about different aspects of the process throughout and feeling free to explore around a bit on my own, always knowing that Laura had my back and wouldn't let me fail. She also had great connections for the home inspection process, closing attorneys, mortgage lenders, etc. The entire journey was such a delight that it honestly makes me think about buying another property (if I could afford it) just for the chance to work with Laura again!

Laura helped us to buy a house last year, then my life got crazy busy, but it never felt right not to leave her a review to show her our thanks. My husband and I needed to buy a house on a tight 3 month timeline, were buying from out of town, and honestly were pretty picky. Laura showed us a few places and asked good questions so she was able to steer the search toward houses more to our tastes. I don’t think we would have found the right house had she not been so critically thoughtful. As out of town buyers, she visited houses on our behalf and recorded videos where she gave helpful and thorough narrations. She even recorded driving around the nearby streets. The sellers of the house we ultimately bought were not using an agent, so she even guided them on some things so that everything went smoothly. Laura also advised on finding the right lender for such a short timeline, which was a life saver! We’re super grateful to Laura for helping us find our home.

Laura helped me the search and purchase of my house. I chose to work with her because she is smart , attentive and intuitive. She took time to listen and understand my needs and what would be a good fit for my situation. I am very picky about people I work with and Laura did an excellent job. Any future real estate dealing I have will involve her. I would definitely recommend Laura to anyone looking for an agent.

We engaged Laura to sell the condo we bought in 1996 for our mother/mother-in-law. Her recommendations regarding repairs and cosmetic fixes were spot on and enabled us to command a higher price without overspending. Although the local market had cooled by the time our listing went live on MLS, Laura tirelessly marketed our unit. When the agent of our eventual buyers expressed interest after an initial viewing, Laura quickly steered the conversation to a firm offer. During final negotiations, she was superb. Throughout the process, my wife and I were also absorbed with the health crises of other family members. Laura was quick to recognize our situation and stepped in to handle the smallest of tasks related to our property, things we would otherwise have considered to be our responsibility. Easy to communicate with, always prompt, Laura is a true professional. If we have another property to sell, we'll definitely engage her again.
