Her friendly personality notwithstanding, Compass Realtor Laura Forman prefers to work independently so her clients always get her undivided attention. With her, clients will always know who is handling every facet of the sometimes intimidating process of buying a home. “I like being the one to help my clients,” she explains of her giving personal attention from beginning to end.

Forman specializes in helping those looking to both downsize and upsize, as well as in second-home and lake property purchases. She is also skilled at assisting military personnel in finding new residences upon relocation. “I have moved many times over my lifetime,” she relays, “so I know both the challenges and fun adventure of moving.”

Forman has clients covered throughout northern Illinois and southern Wisconsin. Whether they’re in the market for a single-family residence, a town home or even a nice plot of land to build that dream house, she will see that all needs get met.

Clients describe Forman as caring and responsive — and someone who will always stand up for them. She makes things easier on her clients by removing stress from the equation, keeping them educated every step of the way. Her no-nonsense approach to problem-solving always yields great results for those who work with her.

“I like to take on the heavy lifting and keep the process as easy as possible for my clients,” Forman says. That client-first mentality has served her well: In 2015, Forman’s brokerage named her Rookie of the Year for her region. Now with over six years in the industry, she has only continued to grow professionally and personally, helping more and more people through positive referrals.

“Happy clients create more happy clients” is her personal motto. And those she serves are always happy with Forman. “I truly care about my clients’ experience and how I can make it better,” she shares.
