Ratings & Reviews

Judy F
Chicago, IL - Jul 31, 2025

Laura Topp was recommended by a trusted friend, a friend whom I will trust even more after this experience. Laura is extremely knowledgeable, personable and very well connected in the real estate market. Laura and her team (including Becki, also very involved in my sale and purchase) went over and above to insure my then-current home was sold in a timely manner (it was a matter of days, in fact) and for the best possible price! As for my purchase, Laura connected me with not only public but also private listings, and I also found/ contracted for my new dream home within days. In addition to her knowledge, expertise and connections, Laura is also one of the kindest people have ever met; she made me feel valued and supported throughout this entire process. I would recommend Laura and her team in a heartbeat (I already have) and although I was not previously aware of BHHS, this company also has high ratings in my book because of Laura and Becki.

Laura is a ROCK STAR when it comes to overall customer service. She took the time to listen to our needs and understand my limited availability to be involved with the purchase of a condo. She took our information and ran with it and within 3 weeks we found a suitable condo and closed on it. She got he job done and I couldn't have been happier with the way she treated my family members that were working with her to make decisions!
Thanks - Laura (and her team too)!!

Love Laura. Her knowledge of the city is amazing but it's her work ethic and trustworthiness that really shines. She has always done an amazing job for me whether it is selling or buying a home. Always available to answer questions, Laura is fun to work with and she goes all out for her clients. She helped me sell one condo, and to purchase two amazing condominiums in downtown Chicago over the last twenty years and I will be forever grateful to her for that. Laura Topp has my highest recommendation!

Laura is amazing and I can't recommend her highly enough! "Excellent" is true, but she is much more than that. She has been working with us for quite some time to sell our house and buy a condo (we are downsizing) in the City. Not only did she help us through the process but she referred us to workers and designers who helped us update our bathrooms, re-do our floors, and stage. Once the house was ready to list Laura got us multiple offers within 30 days and we closed yesterday! Laura has also patiently guided us through the buying process in this challenging market, and we look forward to closing on our new property in a few weeks. Laura and her team are THE BEST real estate professionals in Chicago. She is intelligent, professional, thoughtful, experienced, full of advice and an absolute pleasure to work with.

Laura went above and beyond to help us secure our dream condo when relocating to Chicago from out of state. Her immense knowledge of the city and years of experience made our transition as seamless as possible!

I worked with Rebecca Conant and she is absolutely what made this a success for me. Without her knowledge, patience, and diligence we would have never found and secured this property. I will be 100% looking to work with Rebecca again in the future.

We were very happy with Laura when we purchased our condo so it was an easy decision to ask her to rep us for the sale of the condo 9 years later. She and her team did not disappoint. Always accessible and always with experienced adivice. We highly recommend Laura and her team.

Laura Topp is a professional. She is congenial and helpful as is her team. Please remember that this is a monetary arrangement, not a get together or a party. She is lovely but she will definitely deliver the goods with truth and with a deserved sale for you.

We are so grateful for Laura! She quickly understood that we were focused on finding the right place for us, and not necessarily focused on the neighborhood it was in. Laura reached out when there were properties she found interesting and set up appointments within windows that worked for us. She also paid attention to our needs, bringing up key considerations everywhere we went. If it were not for her ability to act quickly, have relationships with other realtors, and build a strong offer, we likely would not be in our home today.

Thank you, Laura!

I appreciate and commend the manner in which Becki Conant and Laura Topp handled the whole process professionally, confidently and with seamless ease. During the process I worked more hands on with Becki. She was exceptionally knowledgable, confident, assertive, but not aggressive, and displayed good humor when appropriate. I also appreciated the communication; keeping me up to date at every stage. At the end of it all, you managed to strike a good deal and get a good price for the property within a matter of days.
Thank you very much. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend both Becki and Laura to other sellers.

I worked with Becki and she was absolutlety amazing. I had a really tight budget for a 3 bedroom so that me and my kids would each have our own space. I also had crazy location requirements as I need to commute far and my daughter takes a bus to school and I also need to be able to get my son from a school in a totally different part of the city. When the perfect place finally came up, I wasn't in town so Becki set up a zoom call to tour the place with me. She walked me through everything and was patient as I thought walked all the steps. She made sure I got the condo docs and other materials in a timely manner so that I could make a sound decision. Becki is an absolutley amazing realator. She loves looking at places and is passionate about her job. That makes it fun to go look at places and see her vision for spaces.

What I needed was a highly experienced team to sell my townhouse. A friend highly recommended Laura to me. After meeting her and Becky I was happy to sign on with her. The recommendations of staging the property, while time consuming, was instrumental in the final stages to publish the property online with an excellent result. Namely a sale above the asking price in 3 days.
Laura and Becky were instrumental in purchasing my new property as well. They sent me many sites listed that met my general requirements to consider. The final choice was a property that I fell for the minute I saw it, but unfortunately went under contract before I sold my home. It kept showing online, so I asked Laura to see if it was available. She checked and informed me that it was not available and closing shortly. But that deal fell through at the last minute and the other broker called Laura to see if I was still interested. The rest is history.
As a friend did for me, I will recommend Laura also.

Rebecca Conant on Laura's team is who I worked with on this purchase. She was amazing, very helpful, great with updates, and a pleasure to work with!

Laura Topp and her team were our partners and guides throughout the process of the sale of our condo. I felt Laura had our best interests at heart all through. I was abroad throughout the sale process and Laura and her team handled every detail and things went smoothly. Would recommend her highly.

Laura is on TOPP of her game.

Professional, responsive, polite and etc. The inspector missed some major construction issues of the building and we found out on the final walkthrough day. She was able to skillfully navigate through many rough obstacles in a very limited time and successfully accomplished to the closing.

She also holds high ethics, not solely pursuing to monetary benefit. It was evidenced by how she managed my second earnest money for her client's best benefit.

I wholeheartedly trust this lady and will definitely recommend her.

Laura went the extra mile with me and my family. Complete patience with us, as we were new to Chicago, exceptional knowledge of the local areas.

Laura is a wonderful person to spent time with too. We couldn't have found our ideal house without her. There was not a showing she would not arrange for us at the drop of a hat.

Her flexibility allowed us to feel no pressure in the select of the purchase of our house.
