Laura Rivera - The Laura and Joiel Team - Testimonials

Tell Us Your Story

Laura Rivera helped us immensely.

We had been working with her for only a couple of weeks when we found a home we liked. From the time we made an offer to the time we closed Laura guided us through all facets of the purchase. She made the process less stressful than I had anticipated. And before we closed on the home, Laura advised us on preparing our home for sale. She lined up the photographer and quickly listed our home. One the first day the house was listed we received two offers. The next day we accepted one offer. Again, Laura was guided us through the selling process to closing. It is not an easy process to buy a home and then list and sell you own home. But Laura was there every step of the way to make it work. We recommend Laura to anyone who wants to buy or sell a home. Armando Garcia

Armando & Viola Garcia

Great support, a very long search with a great new home in a beautiful setting resulting.

Tremendous support all the way through in what we saw as a seller's market with purchases happening in hours after a home hit the MLS listing. We got a great home exactly what we were looking for.

Charles & Jacqueline Woeppel

I’ve known Laura for years.

She was extremely professional and grateful to have her on my team.

Stacey Simons

After taking beautiful pictures of our home, the realtors managed to sell it in a very short time, getting the price we wanted.

The communications with the realtors was excellent, keeping us in touch with every aspect of the sale. I don't think the sale of our home couldn't have gone any better or quicker. The realtors were very professional, friendly and helpful in every way.

We were nervous about purchasing our first home but they made it exciting and way less stressful. I will recommend Laura Rivera to anyone who wants to buy a home. She is so patient and kind. She communicated every step of the process in ways that made sense. The absolute BEST!

Kirsten and David Valenzuela

We had the absolute best experience working with Laura when recently buying our new home.

She goes above and beyond to help you through the entire process. She is also super kind, and a just a very nice person. She has a lot of experience and is great about explaining the many complicated steps of homebuying. She is always available to answer questions, open up the property. She had a fabulous home inspector come out, roofers, plumbers, termite inspector... this all saved us a lot of time not having to track these people down. She puts her clients first and is really on your side. We had a situation where we needed to cancel an offer and then start a new offer on another house and she rolled right with it and helped us be the first to make the offer and close on the house we really wanted. Highly recommend working with Laura!!! She's there for YOU.

Marc Pinate

Laura went above and beyond to help me sell my Father in Law's house after his passing.

The communication was excellent and she did things when she said they would be done. I would recommend her to everyone I know.

Kenneth Copeland

Selling a home is never just about paperwork and listings, it's a trying and emotional journey.

From the very first meeting, Laura stood out not just as a friend but as a professional in her field. She is a genuinely kind and trustworthy person. She approached every step of the process with integrity, patience, and kindness, always putting my needs first and making sure I felt comfortable with the listing. What impresses me most is her character. I have known Laura quite a few years, consider her a friend and I can honestly say she is honest, respectful, and always made sure to put what I wanted first, not because it was expected, but because that’s just who she is. I always knew I was in good hands. I had absolutely no problem putting my trust in her and her recommendations - and it made all the difference. We received an offer within 1 week of listing. I never had to worry about the process of the sale, she took care of everything. Thanks to Laura, not only did I sell my house smoothly, quickly, and at a great price, but I also walked away feeling incredibly grateful to have someone so authentic, trustworthy, and dedicated. I can’t recommend her enough. She is truly a great person and a great realtor. Thank you so much for making everything go so effortlessly and timely.

Armando & Viola Garcia

I appreciated the dedication that Laura put into helping me out.

She was very attentive to my needs and stayed on top of the transaction details. She would follow up with the loan officers to ensure the sale was moving forward as it should. She brought a personalized friendly touch and it was a pleasure working with her.

Andrew Torres

Laura and Joiel were beyond the most supportive real-estate team we have ever worked with.

The entire process from start to finish was extremely smooth as any challenge that arose Laura and Joiel were right on it. We cant recommend them enough for you next home purchase or sale especially because they were willing to teach, explain and guide us though the process. We felt they were invested in us and not soley the purchase of our new home and sale of our previous.

Joseph Serritella

I can’t say enough great things about Laura Rivera!

From start to finish, she was an absolute dream to work with - professional, responsive, and truly dedicated to making the entire process as smooth and stress-free as possible. Selling a home is never easy, especially during a major life transition, but she showed up with knowledge, compassion, and the kind of hustle that sets the best apart from the rest. She took the time to understand my needs, offered thoughtful advice at every step, and went above and beyond to advocate for me. Her attention to detail and calm confidence helped me feel supported through every showing, offer, and signature. I’m beyond grateful for her guidance and couldn’t have asked for a better partner in this journey. If you’re looking for a realtor who genuinely cares and delivers results, she is your go to person!

Jennifer Maynard

We found Laura and her team through a friend and she came highly rated.

I reached out and she responded immediately. Laura helped walk us through the whole process even when we were putting a hold on the home buying process. She made purchasing our first house as easy as possible and I would 100% recommend her to anyone that is looking at buying now or in the future.

Christina Aldapa

The process of selling my home began with Laura Rivera’s recommendations for a roofer and a skilled stucco artist and painter whose specialties are too many to list.

Laura and Joiel surround themselves with successful and kind contractors who kept the ball moving forward, but also, to make sure my wife and I were fulfilled and beyond satisfied with the work. And boy does Laura work. She is always Willing to put everything aside if it means making you feel heard, understood, and valued. As an aside, my wife and I actually attended the Wu-Tang concert with her contractor from Gemini because, as often as is the case, great people like Laura surround themselves with equally great individuals. Friends for life, but an eye and ear for the market, Laura surpassed our expectations every step of the way. Thank you so much!

Andrew Nickles

Laura helped us buy our condo five years ago and I remembered that she was knowledgeable and a go-getter.

She even had our condo cleaned! Apparently the seller's left if without cleaning it and I was grateful to walk in to a spotless new home. When we were ready to look again I knew I wanted to call Laura again. I trust in her abilities and experience and her advice, which she offers when asked. She is always responsive and cares about her clients. With Laura, you get experience attention to detail, and commitment. She listened to our needs and steered us in the right direction. We just moved in to our new house and rented the condo! She was sweet enough to give us some very thoughtful welcome home gifts.

MIlta Ortiz

Laura was absolutely amazing.

I had a terrible experience buying my first house, which scared me to want to do it all over again. Laura made everything roll so smoothly and answered any questions we had. Laura really went above and beyond anything we could have ever asked for. We are truly grateful and thankful to had had Laura as our realtor.

Audrey

Laura Rivera was an exceptional agent.

Her team kept us informed and up to date. We were out of town buyers and Laura personally called and made sure we were in the loop. She worked with my daughter who lives in the area and everything went so smooth. We will use and refer Laura again and again. Vicki Padula.

Victoria & Phillip Padula

This is the 4th house Laura has helped us buy/sell.

We choose her each time because she is knowledgeable, personable, and makes the process seamless. She is available and answers all of our questions. We recommended her to all of our friends and family.

Eric & Cassidi Dupree

Laura was absolutely incredible.

I have been friends with her son for almost 20 years and she gave my family and I the most incredible home buying experience we could have asked for. It didn’t matter the time of day or how many questions we asked, Laura was able to answer and give us our peace of mind during the process. When we gave her the list of what we were looking for, she pointed us to the perfect house and got us moved in under 30 days. Our family is incredibly thankful for everything Laura did for us and our family!

Shea Taylor

This was the second home we have ever purchased and our first was only 3 years ago.

We worked with Laura on that first purchase and knew without a doubt that we would ask her again this time. Honestly, she was a big part of the reason we decided to buy our next home so soon. We knew from our first experience that we would be in excellent hands and didn't feel as stressed out taking this on again so soon. She was knowledgeable, readily available and made the whole process so much less daunting. We cannot say enough good things and recommend her to anyone we know who is in need of a realtor!

Lorena a

We highly recommend this wonderful team!

We are now using them again for selling one of our properties. If you are looking for a fantastic team to support you through buying or selling a house, this is the right team!

Laura Rivera is 10 stars plus 5 more.

Our experience with her wasn’t just a realtor expediting our process, it was inclusive, warm, transparent, reassuring, thorough and a feeling of family. Also, she gave sound input on food (of course that’s vital!) and other things important to our family. We’re very fortunate we were connected with Laura and have found genuinely good humans we want part of our lives beyond the realty experience. Clif notes, WORK WITH HER (you’re welcome).

Gordon & Crystal

Laura helped us through the juggling of purchasing and selling within a month, flawlessly!

A calm presence throughout the experience with unrivaled expertise to sprinkle in as well

Zachary Armstrong

This was my second home buying experience and it couldn't have been easier.

Everyone that touched my case was kind, communicative, and helpful. Laura is a fantastic agent who knows the boundary between providing expertise and pushing suggestions. She gave me the time and space to make my own decisions, then advocated for me when it came time to negotiate. I couldn't have asked for a better experience and would recommend Laura and her team to anyone!

Julie B

I was recommended to Laura by a friend who had a good experience with her, and she did not disappoint.

As a first time home buyer, her knowledge and experience really helped me figure out what I was looking for, and ultimatly pick the right house. Not to mention she was patient and was weathered through my year of indecision. She also set me up with a bunch if great local contractors, which saved me a lot of time, stress, and money. I highly recommend Laura the Long Realty team.

James B

Laura handled everything professionally and with great care and patience.

She is so knowledgeable and when any issue came up out of left field she figured it or found it out and had it resolved quickly. She is a strong advocate for her client. She made me feel completely at ease and confident through the whole process.

Katherine Turner

Our recent home buying experience was awesome and we wanted to thank Laura Rivera and Etta Copeland for their tremendous support throughout the entire experience.

We began the process unsure if we wanted to build a new home, so we asked Laura to show us some existing homes to gather information. With only a few hours notice she met us with a whole package of homes and lots to visit, and her professional knowledge to advise us. When we found the home we’d been searching for and decided to put in an offer, she was there to guide us, answering questions, searching for information and advocating for us. Multiple times while we excitedly waited to close, Laura or Etta graciously met us at the home, so we could measure, plan and take “one more look” around. We had a very positive experience and will definitely ask Laura to be our realtor if we ever decide to purchase or sell a home again.

Matthew &

Laura did an outstanding job of marketing our house and negotiating a favorable deal for us.

She went above and beyond to answer any questions and make our long distance sale go through. We highly recommend her professional team!

Ryan &

Laura Rivera made our home-buying journey feel effortless, and this time was truly special.

She's guided our family through the process multiple times before, but this purchase meant even more because we bought this home together with our son. Laura made what could have been a complex, emotional process feel completely seamless. She was responsive, knowledgeable, and present at every single step. Her genuine care for her clients really sets her apart. She anticipated questions before we even had to ask and explained every part of the process clearly, making sure both a first-time buyer and returning buyers like us felt confident and supported along the way. We can't recommend Laura enough. If you want a realtor who treats your family like her own, she's the one to call.

Kelly Pinkerton

I highly recommend the service with Laura and Long Realty team.

Gustavo Andres Portillo

We moved to Tucson earlier this year and were referred to The Laura Rivera Team by a family member.

We couldn't have been happier with how well we were treated! We started looking for homes while we were still living out of state and they would send us listings that matched our wish list. They were very prompt at responding to e-mails and phone calls and walked us through every step of the home buying process. We appreciated that they were at every appointment (contract signing to closing paperwork) and asked questions that we didn't know to ask. They were very patient with us and never made us feel pushed to make a decision we weren't comfortable with. We will certainly be referring family and friends to The Laura Rivera Team!

James a

We had a great experience with our agent Joiel Goerke.

She was very professional and easy to work with and we always and an open line of communication! Thank you Joiel!

Scott & Julie Monson

Laura was awesome, I couldn’t get a better agent to represent me.

She always was very professional and she was all the way supporting me with all the decisions appertaining the new house, whispering good council to me. I really enjoy having Laura by my side. I look forward to again work with her in the near future. Gustavo Portillo.

Gustavo Portillo

Laura did a great job in helping us relocate to Tucson.

Her questions helped us to focus on what we really wanted in our future Tucson home. Her extensive knowledge of the area was invaluable in helping us narrow our search, and her patience in walking us through the buying process made a complicated process much easier to navigate. She was great, and made our move fun and less stressful than it might have been. We would encourage anyone to use her services for any real estate transaction. Richard and Sandi Dreyfuss
