Laura Duckworth - Testimonials

Tell Us Your Story

I cannot express how much I respect and appreciate Laura as a realtor and a person.

To say she went out of her way and above and beyond doesn't begin to convey how dedicated she is to her clients. We met at an open house that I did not plan to attend. I was viewing a house in the neighborhood and the agent there asked if I had seen a nearby open house. As I was driving by I stopped for reasons I don't understand. I wasn't interested in the house, but that's where I met the only realtor I will ever use. Her availability has been continuous. Her personality infectious. Her dedication unquestionable. She looked at houses on my behalf with my must have list as a guide. Never pressured me ever. With her help I've found the house of my dreams that I will enjoy every day I'm there. If and when I do decide to move on Laura is the only choice to help me do that. Love you girl! Recommending her to everyone I know! As an addendum to this review that I wrote directly after closing I am compelled to add how impressed I am with Laura's assistance after the sale. I had a few issues that were personally stressful regarding our purchase. Laura helped tremendously without us having to ask. She is a great realtor and an amazing person. Do yourself a true favor and use her as your realtor as we did. You won't be disappointed.

Laura is an exceptional realtor.

For the sale of my home, she paid close attention to detail to make the experience a pleasurable one. From the MLS listing, to the professional pictures, to the personal FB video her service is top notch. She’s always on call ready to answer questions and help in any way. Laura is a knowledgeable, caring real estate professional. I also saved over $3500 working with her.

If you want to sell a house and not pay the standard high commissions, call Laura Duckworth at Flat Fee Redefined SWMO.

She was our realtor when we sold our house and saved us almost $9,000 in commissions for a house priced in the mid $300's. I cannot say enough good about Laura -- she truly works for you, whether you are the seller or the buyer. She is honest, will provide you with advice but not push, and she will go the extra mile (or ten) to get your house sold. You have have nothing to lose, your house is on MLS and ours was shown by numerous full commission realtors, but we saved a small fortune by listing with Laura Duckworth @ Flat Fee Redefined SWMO!

Laura was an excellent person to work with when we bought our home In the fall of 2018.

She was on top of things by clearly communicating with us and by keeping us up to date every step of the way. She also truly cares for her clients. Just recently with COVID-19 and the stay at home order in effect, she messaged to check on us and to see if we needed any groceries delivered. She’s just very good at helping people! I have enjoyed staying in touch with her and wish her all the success!

Laura is an amazing realtor!

She helped us sell our house and buy a new home in the beginning of 2020. While we were looking for homes, the pandemic hit. She was so helpful during this extremely uncertain time. She assisted us in finding our new home quickly and we were able to close in a timely manner. Laura kept us informed through the entire process. She was particularly sensitive to the fact that I am immunocompromised, and she helped us do as much of the process virtually as possible. We highly recommend Laura to anyone looking for a realtor!

Michelle Freeman

After two other traditional realtors failed to sell our house, we contacted Laura Duckworth and listed it with her.

She immediately held an open house and vigorously marketed the house. She ultimately got it sold quickly and saved us over seven thousand dollars in commissions. Laura was a pleasure to work with and was always very professional. I’d highly recommend her!!

Laura has “SOLD” our family on Springfield!

We first met Laura a few years ago when she was helping one of our daughters and her husband find and purchase their first home. I was impressed then with her patience, dedication and knowledge. A year later she helped another of our daughters and her husband find and purchase their first home. Another great experience. When it was time for us to make the move to Springfield to be nearer to our daughters & husbands and now GRAND BABIES 🙂 we knew exactly who we wanted to work with! Laura is a PRO and you can count on her. From the first contact through the closing she was on top of things. She was available for our many questions about homes, neighborhoods, home values, etc. We were moving from out of state, which made our availability for viewing homes not ideal but, she was able to arrange for us to see EVERY.SINGLE.ONE of homes we were interested in…. Even if we were only in town for a day or two. With Laura’s help and knowledge we were able to buy the home of our dreams and we will enjoying our new home surrounded by our kids and grand kids for years to come! If you want a realtor whose knowledge, performance, availability and communication are all things you can count on, then here she is! BTW, we still have one more daughter who will someday be looking for her first home 😉

We worked with Laura Duckworth from HouseKey Flat Fee Realty and she was awesome!

She was very knowledgable and patient with us as as first-time home buyers. She always went the extra mile to help us feel comfortable and make sure everything went smoothly. We're so thankful for her hard work and our amazing new home!

Laura did an outstanding job helping me to purchase my first home (during what is supposedly the worst time ever for a buyer.

..). She was honest and thorough and VERY responsive. If she couldn't show a house during the time I needed, she had her husband Anthony help out too. I appreciate her willingness to go above and beyond. She knew my budget and what I was willing to spend and didn't try to get me to go over that. I felt like she was also sensitive to my picky desires, such as houses that felt move-in ready. I probably can't buy a home for 30 more years or so, but if we're both still alive then, I will work with her!

I had a bad experience with a previous realtor many years ago.

I was a little worried going into this deal because of that. I can honestly say Laura went above and beyond my expectations. She deserved higher than a five star rating in my opinion. She handled everything from start to finish on the sell of my home and buying of new home and did an exceptional job.

John and Leslie Whitman

Laura Duckworth was our realtor and she is AMAZING!

She was patient with us as first-time home buyers and showed us SO many houses over many months. We weren't exactly sure what we wanted, we even kept taking breaks from searching, and then coming back- she was always ready and willing to help us out! In the end, she helped us purchase a wonderful home and even helped us negotiate the price below asking (which is tough to do in this market!). We're so thankful for her hard work and our beautiful new home!

"My family has used Laura several times. She's absolutely fantastic! She is very responsive and knowledgeable. She is extremely detailed oriented which made selling my house a smooth process. Laura also charges a flat fee so I saved $5900 using her to sell my house. She adjusted how to sign the many forms to be through email, so what could've been a tricky process was so easy and convenient, especially for my busy work schedule. Laura genuinely cared about my experience and I felt like I was working with a partner through the whole process. I will absolutely be using her to buy my next house."

"Laura was VERY easy to work with, ready to take a call or respond to a text within minutes. Her advice was sound and she was able to back it up with research. We felt secure with her leadership and at no time did we question our decision to go with Laura to help sell our parents’ home. I would use Laura again in a heartbeat!"
