I am delighted to recommend the services of Laurelee Blanchard. I was very pleased with the way Ms. Blanchard handled the negotiations. Irrespective of how unreasonable Koll initially thought our requirements were she acted as an effective advocate for us, pressing our points mercilessly. She was equally responsive after the negotiations. She helped us select an excellent space planner and construction firm to guide us through the planning and construction process. Ms. Blanchard was a true professional throughout the whole process. She negotiated a lease rate that I would not have guessed was possible going into the negotiations. She also expended significant effort to make the process as painless for us as possible. She succeeded and I unreservedly recommend her.

On behalf of Pacific Investment Management Company, I am pleased to recommend the professional services of Laurelee Blanchard. Ms. Blanchard's knowledge of the market analysis of our needs, and quick response to our problems were very valuable during the evaluation and renewal of our 46,000 square foot office lease. She provided us with comparables of recent transactions and created a competitive environment. I would not hesitate to retain Ms. Blanchard again in the future.

We met Laurelee by coincidence at the very beginning of planning to buy our vacation home in Maui. At the time we had no idea how lucky we were to meet Laurelee. Maui visitors commonly walk into the real estate office to ask questions and never return, however, Laurelee treated us with warmth, respect and appreciation not knowing if we were serious buyers or not.

Throughout the year, Laurelee kept us informed without any pressure to buy. She carefully listened to ensure that she understood our needs and saved us valuable time by looking only at properties that were suitable. When we found our dream Maui home we were astonished how easy it was to find best property in our price range. From then on things just got better and better.

Laurelee was present and available throughout the process of negotiating, inspection, obtaining financing and document preparation. In fact, the number of e-mails and phone calls easily went over a hundred. Even then she was there for us, pleasant, kind and supportive, always exceeding our expectations.

There is no doubt that Laurelee's energy positively affected the whole purchase process in which at the end we became friends.

My partner and I own several real estate properties and deal with real estate agents on regular basis. Some of them have been rated #1 real estate agents in world class markets. I must say that none of them came even close to the professionalism and level of care and service that Laurelee provided. In other words, don't let her humility and modesty fool you. She truly is the best real estate agent we ever me and I would recommend her services to anyone.

Sincerely,

Peter Dobias, DVM, HMC
