You Deserve Extraordinary Coldwell Banker Northern California
El Dorado Hills Office

  Extraordinary!”  That’s exactly how Laura Menendez describes El Dorado Hills, just east of Sacramento.  Beautiful hillsides, proximity to Lake Tahoe and San Francisco, nearby scenic vineyards, and meandering walking trails make El Dorado County a special place to call home.  Stunning views, cool delta breezes and undeniable natural beauty only add to the pleasure of living in the foothills. 

  Extraordinary Moves

Living in the Greater Sacramento area since the mid-80’s, Laura left the beaches and palm trees of Southern California in search of an affordable home and a slower pace of life.  Quickly adapting to the change in scenery and climate, Laura excelled with her work as a CPA and Controller of Sacramento-area companies but eventually left her calculator and successful accounting career behind to follow her dream:  To apply her knowledge and experience to help you make your home purchase or sale a complete success.

  Extraordinary Results

Laura is not your ordinary real estate professional!  Her genuine pleasure and passion for the work she does translates to extraordinary results for those working with Laura.  She truly agrees with Aristotle that “Pleasure in the work puts perfection in the job”. 

 

 

Extraordinary Service and Genuine Concern

Laura’s family (husband Desi, and children, Gabrielle & Nicholas) see her working tirelessly to provide every client with the personal service and genuine concern that she believes everyone deserves.  Having created a healthy balance between family, fun and work, Laura enjoys hiking or biking in the Sierra’s, volunteering in the community, or attending her children’s soccer tournaments.  “Life is too short”, she has been heard to say, as she runs circles around her peers.

  Always a leader, Laura brings fresh ideas to buying and selling homes and everything else she is involved with, from helping raise money for medical research to school and sports fundraisers to assisting the local soccer club.

 Extraordinary Skills

Negotiation skills, attention to detail and a visionary’s big picture are all qualities Laura brings to her work.  She understands the importance of timely and effective contract negotiation.  Whether working with a buyer or a seller, Laura knows the angles to create the most effective and efficient transaction.  Attending to the details of escrow closings is second nature to this busy mom and former accountant as her organizational skills and executive experience are perfectly suited to making sure all is done right-- the first time. 

 
 
In a business where most agents are mired in the “it’s always been done this way” mode, she pushes the boundaries of conformity, searching for new ways of doing business, new ways of understanding the needs of her clients, and new ways of providing extraordinary service.  Laura will listen carefully and do what it takes to get the results you are looking for—whether you are in search of your dream home or you are selling your home and want the greatest return on your investment.
