Testimonials

Location, location, location are the 3 most important things when considering real estate. And Trust, trust, trust are the 3 most important thing when choosing a Realtor. As an out of state seller of our family home, Laura was the perfect person for the job. I dont have a long drawn out story to tell, but that's the point of the 5 star rating. You want results and someone you can trust. Laura handled every issue with her network of resources and kept the process moving. She will always have your best interest while representing you. - Silas N. 

Laura is our go-to when it comes to real estate. Professional, personable and honest. Doesn't get much better than that! - Sergio S. 

My fondest memory of buying a home has Laura at the center. I had been looking for a while and I went to see a house she had listed. Afterward, we talked and she asked the question no one else had asked. What do you want? And I told her what I was looking for which was both rare and unusual. And a few months later, Laura called to tell me she found it. Now, I live in my dream and I am thankful that I met Laura. Thanks Laura! - Marc S.

We would not consider working with any other realtor in Jersey City. Laura Skolar is nothing short of a fantastic partner, whether you are buying or selling in this area. She is honest, straightforward and a superb advisor and communicator. And in our most recent experience with her, she was far more than a realtor. As we prepared to sell she assisted us by connecting us with excellent tradespeople who helped us put our house into the condition that ultimately brought us a very successful sale. And beyond realty we also think Laura is a good, decent human being who respects people, and makes every effort to accommodate while remaining frank and helpful. And nobody, and we mean NOBODY knows Jersey City Heights as well and as deeply as Laura does. Again, whether you are looking to buy or sell in this area, Laura Skolar is the go-to person, bar none. - Charley T. 

Recently sold our home in the heights and Laura was there every step of the way with us. She developed a sales strategy before we listed and executed that strategy flawlessly. We sold well above the asking price, proof the strategy worked!! Highly recommend Laura! - John L. 

My wife and I chose Laura after seeing how professionally she conducted herself as the sellers agent on the original purchase of our home. We were extremely happy we chose Laura to sell our home for us as she delivered a high quality of experience, advice, and ultimately a very favorable sale for us. My wife and I have very high expectations and are generally super critical of service providers who under perform but there are only positive things to say about her. From start to finish everything went smoothly and as planned. She was very helpful in helping us make decisions on how to prepare the house for sale and she executed her responsibilities in setting up the process to a T. Thank you Laura for a phenomenal selling experience. - Orestis T. 

Laura Skolar-Gamarello is my "Go-To" Real Estate Broker in the Jersey City area. She is a real professional - knowledgeable, efficient, kind and compassionate. She puts extra effort to meet her clients' needs and requirements and goes the extra mile for them. - Roz L.

I was introduced to Laura via a family friend. Up to the point of meeting her, I had met with three other realtors. They were all very nice and professional and told me the same things Laura did. However, what Laura did for me that no one else was able to do was to explain to me the "how" and "why" of everything. She explained the reasons for every step in the process of selling a house, which I greatly appreciated. I also appreciated that she did not pressure me to make moves before I was ready. She was very understanding and patient with my circumstances, and provided plenty of guidance and knowledge. I couldn't have asked for a better experience with a realtor and highly recommend Laura's services. - Nicole C.

We have used Laura in 3 residental home transactions and her service has been white glove each time! Highly recommend her and her team! - Stephanie K.

I have known and enjoyed local friendship with Laura for years, so when it came time to buy our first house and list our family condo I called her first. She is exceptionally warm and understanding, and knows this local market better than anyone else we've met. She balances a personable manner with a sharp eye for business, I highly recommend Laura for buying, selling, renting--whatever you need. We will be using her for all future real estate transactions in Jersey City and Hoboken. - Maureen G. 

You consider hiring Laura to be your realtor due to her decades of experience in the Jersey City Heights, but you hire her because she is a thorough and thoughtful professional. - Peter K.

I’ve worked with Laura and The Skolar Group on two different occasions in the last 7 years and both were great experiences. Moving from Manhattan to Jersey City I needed to learn more about the many different areas of JC and Laura was able to show me a wide sample of options that fit my requirements until I found an apartment and building by the waterfront that checked all the boxes. I highly recommend Laura and The Skolar Group as your realtor for her expertise having grown up in JC as well as her for her patience and overall professionalism throughout the whole process. - John P. 

She is the best! She was thorough and professional and great to work with. The best real estate company and agent I have ever dealt with. Very professional, experienced and helpful agent. Highly recommend. Explained from start to end process add very smooth closing with none errors. Excellent! - Dilip P. 

We had a wonderful experience working with Laura! She was extremely helpful in showing us homes that just came on the market and areas outside of our search. But most importantly, she really listened to our needs in what we wanted in a home and delivered. She also had a great network of trusted people she worked over the years that made our closing process move quickly and smoothly! -  Courtney N.
