Lara Hamilton-Potts

We had the absolute pleasure of working with Lara during our property purchase, and we couldn’t be more satisfied with the experience. From start to finish, she demonstrated exceptional efficiency in every aspect of her work. Lara’s communication was always clear, timely, and reassuring, keeping us informed and confident throughout the entire process. We had just arrived from the UK and the whole process was arranged via emails and WhatsApp. Lara was consistently polite, approachable, and professional, making what could have been for us a stressful experience feel smooth and manageable. What impressed us most was her willingness to go above and beyond an example of which was assisting in finding a solution to our movers not being able to enter the premises.

"Buying a house is an exciting and sometimes daunting experience but Lara’s handling of the whole purchase made this enjoyable and seamless. From Lara's very first response to my initial enquiry about my now new home, Lara made me comfortable and I was very happy to have her as my agent. Lara was professional every step of the way. She was positive, encouraging and nothing was too much trouble, often going out of her way to facilitate the process. I am sure she has lost count of the times she has driven up and down that mountain. Lara is such a nice person and we hope to remain in contact with her."

"We wanted to take this opportunity to express our appreciation for the exceptional service we’ve received from Lara Hamilton Potts who assisted us in finding a beautiful home to rent at Highgate Wine Estate. From our first interaction, Lara has been responsive, professional, and incredibly helpful. Lara was always willing to go the extra mile to answer our questions and ensure everything is in place with a personal touch. Her friendly approach, attention to detail, and clear communication stood out, and we feel very fortunate to have had her support. Lara is a true asset to your company, and we’re grateful for everything she’s done to make our move such a positive experience.

From the moment I first contacted Lara back in March, she has been nothing short of amazing. I initially reached out about another property, but Lara took the time to really listen to what our family was looking for and understand the kind of lifestyle we were hoping to create. She was honest, attentive, and incredibly helpful right from the beginning. Lara immediately thought of the home we’ve now purchased and wasted no time in setting up a viewing. Throughout the entire process, she was professional, proactive, and always went the extra mile to accommodate us. No question was too small, and she made what can be a stressful journey feel smooth and exciting.
It was truly a pleasure working with Lara, and I would do it all over again in a heartbeat.

Lara connected us with the sellers of our home after taking the time to understand exactly what we were looking for. It was a perfect match, and we fell in love with the home immediately.

"I would like to extend my sincere gratitude to my colleague for her exceptional professionalism and unwavering dedication throughout the sale of my Sakabula property. During a challenging personal period, compounded by personal complexities of the sale, Lara consistently exceeded expectations. She navigated obstacles with skill and took on numerous tasks that significantly alleviated my burden during the process.

"Having just sold our family home in Howick , I just had to share my exceptional experience with Lara from Local Real Estate, who guided us through the sale of our family home in Howick. Lara's professionalism, patience, and in-depth knowledge of the local market made the entire process seamless and stress-free. Her assistance was invaluable, and we're truly grateful for her dedication.
I highly recommend Lara to anyone seeking to buy or sell a property. Her expertise and warm approach ensured a smooth and successful transaction."

We recently had the pleasure of working with Lara during the purchase of our first home, and we couldn’t be more grateful for her dedication and support. Throughout the entire process, Lara diligently pointed out important details ensuring we were well-informed every step of the way. She maintained excellent communication, keeping us updated even as the process faced delays on the seller’s side. Despite the extended timeline, Lara remained supportive and ensured everything went as smoothly as possible including all the conveyancing communications which were much better than the conveyancing attorney, whose performance left much to be desired. In contrast, Lara truly stood out, and we can confidently recommend Lara to anyone looking for a trustworthy and hardworking estate agent.

“During the sales process of our home in Garlington we found Lara Hamiliton-Potts not only an absolute pleasure to work with but also very professional. Lara kept us informed and updated on all aspects of the sale making it a hassle-free experience. We will not hesitate to contact Lara should we have any property needs in the future and will recommend her with confidence to any friends or family who might need property help.

Thank you so much Lara for a job well done!”

Hi All

Just a quick note to formally thank your Lara Hamilton-Potts for the most professional way she handled the above sale .

She was an absolute pleasure to deal with and being developers who have sold over fifty homes at St Johns Village we come across agents of all shapes and sizes with varying levels of professionalism but I can honestly say she was out the top drawer.

She was almost painful with her attention to detail but followed her sale all the way through from start to finish and must surely be a massive asset to your Local Team.

Once again , many thanks and we look forward to your selling our next phase to be started in the new year.

" Lara managed both the sale of our previous home and the recent purchase of our new one with great speed and efficiency, exceeding our expectations at every turn and we would therefore like to acknowledge her excellent service. Lara showed an exceptional level of professionalism throughout both processes. Lara's tenacity, diligence and focus were evident and encouraging at every step. What truly set her apart, however, was her ability to offer carefully considered, excellent advice whenever we needed it. She was always available and quick to respond. Her experience and expertise was invaluable in ensuring a smooth transition .We’ve worked with many agents over the years, and Lara stands out. It’s not often you come across someone who not only excels in their job but also takes the time.

"I would like to acknowledge the professional assistance I got from Lara whilst I was looking for a house to rent in Hilton. As my children were already attending school in Hilton, my relocation was extremely urgent. Lara actively looked for all the options that would suit my requirements. I also did not have to call Lara all the time as she actively communicated with me until we got what I wanted, including being there to give me her professional advice and attaining favourable terms for me.

Lara truly represented your company exceptionally well and I am looking forward to working with Lara in the future should I consider buying a house here "

" I would like to thank Lara for all the outstanding services she gave me. Lara went out of her way to look for a place for me to rent and kept me updated at all times. Lara found me exactly the place I was looking for, and within my budget.
Lara negotiated with the landlord regarding all my requests and kept me updated everyday. I’ve been in my new flat for a month and Lara still contacts me weekly to make sure I’m okay and doing well.Such incredible after service!
I will absolutely recommend Lara to anyone looking for a place to rent or buy."
