“Adriane is the BEST! She works hard. Unlike other REALTORS® whom I’ve dealt with in the past, Adriane understands that her role actually involves work. She doesn’t sit around waiting for a commission, she actually works for it.
I felt that our communications were open and honest. Adriane has a lot of knowledge and experience and is able to answer questions easily. She doesn’t bullish*t. She is very helpful in terms of negotiation and letting you know if your expectations are realistic.
I cannot recommend her highly enough. I had complications with needing to get into a home by a set date and Adriane seemed to enjoy the challenge of making sure it happened. I would very happily work with her again and I plan to tell my friends.”

“My husband and I were under a tight time deadline as we were trying to purchase our home in order to qualify for the First Time Home Buyer Tax Credit. Adriane helped us find a wonderful home in our desired school district, and she did it within 2 days! I was new to the whole home-buying process, but Adriane helped us every step of the way. The process was easy and stress-free thanks to her, and we closed just in time to qualify for the tax credit!”

“Truly fantastic experience. Maggie was a godsend. We conducted the entire process, from house hunting to closing, from an entirely different state. Maggie communicated often and effectively utilizing the latest technologies as well as her own expertise to help us navigate the very competitive market. We found a house we absolutely love. We moved in about a month ago and everything has been just as we had hoped. The group also has a very smooth logistical process for the paperwork and a network of trusted professionals that make things like inspections, appraisals, radon mitigation, etc. straightforward. Would highly recommend.”

“I worked with Albert as our buyers agent and Adrianne as the sellers agent in buying and selling our home. They were fast, kind, and insightful. This was a wonderful experience that would not have been so , had we had some one other than Rooted Real Estate.”

“Ms. Lau was very professional and knowledgeable. She took careful note of what we were (and were not) looking—including price range, amenities, location, size—this meant we didn’t do a lot of meaningless walkthroughs, but rather were looking at homes that had true potential for us each time. She also would let us know about homes that fit most of our criteria, and let us decide if they were ones we wanted to look at—which I am very glad for! It was one of these homes we decided to buy and still live in. We also retained her to sell my mother in law’s home when she passed away in 2009. She did an outstanding job with that as well! I highly recommend!!”

“Adriane Lau was amazing! We wanted to be in a house by a certain date, and didn’t have very much time to come out and look for houses. After a few of our favorite houses had sold, Adriane went the extra mile and found us 20 more houses to review on our drive out to Michigan. Knowing that we were on the road traveling, she then map-quested each house from my husband’s new job location so we could see what the travel times would be. We were unfamiliar with the area, and this was extremely helpful, especially when we were crunched for time. We brought our toddler with us to look at the houses, and she was extremely patient and friendly and even brought her iPad to entertain. When it was time to make an offer on the house (after a long day of looking at houses), she was kind enough to take us to the children’s museum so our child could play while we signed the papers. She went above and beyond our expectations. Even after we had closed on the house, she remained in contact with us to make sure our move went well and provided us with a list of her favorite things to do in the area with a toddler because we were new to the area. We loved working with her, and will definitely be using her for all our real estate needs.”

“Steve Osmar and The Adriane Lau Team were wonderful to work with. I had originally worked with another realtor with a different company and I felt like my needs were not listened to or addressed. After cancelling the previous agreement, Steve and his team were up front, honest and direct. Their marketing of my property was light years ahead of what the other realtor did. They kept me appraised of everything as we went through the process. From helping find and schedule contractors to make improvements on an outdated house to the inspection process and negotiating through the offer process, Steve was very professional and responsive throughout all the details. I felt at times as though I was his only client, which couldn’t be further from the truth. I highly recommend Steve Osmar and the entire Adriane Lau Team!”
