Laura Gaunt is a star! She took over a very difficult settlement that was initially with another agent and handled a nightmare situation like a pro. I could not recommend highly enough and would only use Flat Rate Settlements in the future.

Laura was incredible. She made the process so streamlined and was always just a phone call away. Her replies were always prompt and she assisted us in dealing with the bank’s disorganisation. I rarely find any service in any industry performed as well as the service we got from Laura. I would highly recommend and thanks to Laura!!
