Bilingual REALTOR® in Yellow Springs and Dayton, Ohio.
Buying, selling, and the transitions in between.

If you're looking for a realtor who goes far beyond simply opening doors, Laura Pardo Rao is your powerhouse. Laura helped me through the purchase of my recent home, and what set her apart - aside from her incredible energy and enthusiasm - was her in-depth knowledge of home construction and renovations. We looked at several properties, many of which would have required extensive work. Rather than simply encouraging me to make an offer, she carefully helped me evaluate each home's renovation needs, costs, and long term value. Her guidance helped me find a home that fit both my budget and my comfort level with renovations, and I couldn't be happier with the outcome. What truly makes Laura unique is that she genuinely cares about finding the right fit for her clients. She provides detailed comparisons between properties so you can make an informed investment decision, and she has an outstanding network of trusted contractors and specialists who can evaluate everything from structural concerns to remodeling possibilities. That level of expertise is something I've never experienced with another realtor. Her commitment didn't stop there. After both of my parents passed away, Laura even helped me find an excellent realtor in two other states to assist with selling their homes. She had no obligation to do that, but that's simply the kind of person she is. She builds relationships, not just transactions. If you want someone who is knowledgeable, honest, responsive, and truly invested (a real unicorn!) in helping you make the best possible decision, Laura is exceptional. I would recommend her without hesitation.

If you're looking for a hardworking, savvy realtor that knows her way around the real-estate business, is creative with her approach, and will fight tirelessly to get you the best outcome, look no further. I was introduced to Laura, I believe, through sheer providence. I found selling my home, which I'd lived in for nearly two decades, to be somewhat more stressful than I'd anticipated. Laura's unwavering determination, resourcefulness, and encouraging, solution-based attitude was a source of brightness, her energy; contagious. From our very first conversation, she brought not only expertise, but a steady confidence that made even the most daunting obstacles feel manageable. I had several renovation projects and her team swept in with efficiency, craftsmanship, and pride in their work. I was genuinely both impressed and delighted with the end results. Laura has a remarkable ability to see possibilities where others may see problems, and her optimism is palpable. Beyond facilitating the sale of my house, Laura helped me navigate the closing of an important chapter in my life with grace, confidence, and peace. For that, I will always be grateful. I cannot recommend her enough.

My husband and I worked with Laura on selling our house. She had some suggestions that we were hesitant on doing, but after much debate we followed what she said..... The house sold in one day for more than we expected. Her research on the property and in the area made a big difference. We are so thankful for her knowledge and her help. The best part of this is that it didn't after we sold the house. We have become friends. You can't beat that. Laura is awesome. Modesta B. and Charles J.

We knew we wanted to use Laura Pardo Rau when buying our first home. Because of our previous interactions, when she showed genuine enthusiasm and encouragement, it was clear to us that she was who we wanted to represent us (and apparently others did too! ) Laura represented both ourselves and the seller, which can be a tricky situation, but she supported both parties with such diligence and integrity, that it seemed like a breeze. Laura's energy and charisma are only rivaled by her sincere desire for the best for her clients, and her zest for a challenge! We are forever grateful for Laura's help and support in making our home ownership dreams a reality!

Laura is the best! She was in constant contact with my wife and I and always made sure we were on the same page. She priced our house just right so that we were happy and it sold super fast! I recommend her to anyone looking to buy or sell.
