Lara Goodwin is an exceptional professional. I was nervous about selling my condo in Pompano Beach. I had recently remodeled my condo and wanted to sell it "turn key" but was worried the listing price would be too high for the area. Lara presented me with research right away and steered me towards a listing price that she thought would satisfy my expectations and allow it to sell quickly. She was dedicated in her support and responsive to all my concerns every step of the way. Her caring and highly competent manner put me at ease - there was nothing she couldn't handle. She was able to secure a cash offer quickly and the closing was seamless. I cannot say enough good things about her and I recommend wholly, without reservation.
Working with Lara Goodwin was an outstanding experience from beginning to end. She is incredibly thorough and truly knows the ins and outs of real estate. What impressed me most was not just her knowledge, but how actively involved she was throughout the process. Lara didn’t just answer questions—she rolled up her sleeves and helped resolve any issues that came up, always staying one step ahead. Her support was constant, her advice was spot-on, and I always felt like I had someone in my corner who genuinely cared. If you want a real estate agent who is hands-on, knowledgeable, and fully dedicated to her clients, I highly recommend Lara Goodwin. She made a potentially stressful process feel manageable—and even enjoyable.
After the passing of our mom, selling her home in Delray Beach was an emotional and overwhelming task—but having Lara Goodwin by our side made all the difference. From the very beginning, Lara approached the process with genuine compassion, professionalism, and an incredible sense of calm. She guided us through every step with patience, understanding, and an expert’s touch. Lara not only handled the emotional side with grace, but also brought a high level of organization and market knowledge that helped everything move smoothly. Her support was steady and reassuring, and we always felt like we were in good hands. We’re so grateful for her dedication and care during such a sensitive time. We wholeheartedly recommend Lara to anyone looking for a truly exceptional broker—both personally and professionally.
We were really impressed with how efficiently Lara managed the sale of our home. Her expertise and marketing creativity showcased our home beautifully. Lara kept us informed on every detail in a prompt and courteous manner. If you are looking for an extraordinarily knowledgeable realtor, Lara Goodwin is the realtor for you!
When we decided to sell our Florida Condominium last year we were recommended a realtor who truly did nothing for 9 months . Then we were introduced to Lara. We decided to ask her to do the sale for us. We could not have met someone more conscientious, determined, attentive and caring. Coming from England, we were not familiar with the market or the requirements and she helped us step by step to make sure everything that needed to be done was done, be it with the legals, with the condo association, with the accountants. She is an absolute professional. She earned every penny of her fees. On top of that, we achieved an amazing price for the sale. I would recommend her any day!
Faster than a speeding bullet…If you plan to sell your home, Lara Goodwin is your person. Lara is incredibly detail oriented, noting everything positive in your home. Her negotiating skills are far beyond anyone I have ever dealt with. Lara sold my place in two days of it being on the market.
Dear Lara: We want to thank you for your professionalism, knowledge, friendship and effective approach that was instrumental in selling our home.After having had the house on the market for a long time, we switched to Lara and her team from One Sotheby's International and the difference was notorious.We were thrilled with the friendly and knowledgeable approach that allowed for multiple showings, always quick feedback and updates and 24/7 availability to answer texts and emails that made us feel confident and comfortable.All the steps, including the recommended real estate attorney were flawless and helped the whole process from listing to closing go in the best way.We can recommend Lara and One Sotheby’s team without hesitation. Sincerely,Diego and Claudia Sadler
I was lucky to have had Lara Goodwin as my real estate adviser, agent, and friend. She proved to be a very talented and creative person, and an excellent professional and experienced real estate agent. Lara was very flexible in her approaches and selling techniques when faced with many objective challenges: economy, local road construction problems, downturn trends in local reals estate market, etc. She was never discouraged by those objective factors in her efforts by these negative trends, and retained her positive demeanor and proactive posture. As for her creativity, she was able to convince me and my wife to properly stage our unit; though we were resistant to the idea, she proved to be correct and she made our unit visually look larger and better and less cluttered with furniture and other things. This significantly increased public interest in our condo, and resulted in many complimentary comments from potential buyers. Lara is a very enthusiastic, energetic and inspirational person. And I would highly recommend her to anyone who would want to hire a trustworthy real estate agent who would also be truly dedicated to her professional responsibilities and would be doing her very best to fulfill her obligations under contract.
Dear Lara, Thank you, for your professionalism, diligence, and excellence in execution through every stage of the process in the sale of our condo. Your ability to establish a personal relationship with (us) your clients, without ever compromising your ethical approach to sales, and promotion have not only been a refreshing change to some experiences I've had in the past, but has also proven to be effective in generating interest, and ultimately a speedy and profitable sale. Sincerely,
I recently worked with Lara Goodwin in search of a home in East Boca Raton. Lara did extensive research, which resulted in us seeing numerous homes that resulted in offers to purchase. I can't say enough about her dedication and availability to work around our schedules to ensure that we saw everything that was available within the specific guideline we gave her. Lara is a delight to work with and I would not hesitate to work with her in the future.
I have worked with Lara Goodwin on numerous transactions and each has gone smoothly due to her hard work, her attention to detail and her knowledge of the real estate market. Lara works tirelessly for her clients and makes sure their interests are the top priority. As an attorney who has done real estate closings for many years, I highly recommend Lara Goodwin to anyone buying or selling real estate.
Lara Goodwin is a talented, knowledgeable, hardworking and energetic real estate agent in the South Florida area. What we appreciate most, is her transparency, honesty, integrity and attention to details. Lara always made herself available and was helpful throughout the process. We highly recommend Lara.

Lara, After years of searching for the perfect realtor and many disappointments, we met you. You made no promises, just a great marketing presentation, and sales strategy, you held firm and listened to our needs and in less than four months the house was sold, close to the full asking price. We can't thank you enough for your help. You were instrumental in making the sale both easy and painless. Cari Saluti --- Regards
Working with Lara was a pleasure. She is effective, forthright and quick to respond. Our sale was a delicate and emotional one, and she understood that from the outset and treated us as if we were long time friends. From start to finish, she was trustworthy, compassionate and listened to our needs and wants every step of the way.
It is our pleasure to recommend Lara Goodwin as a real estate agent for individual or developer sales and strategies. Lara is very adept in the South Florida real estate community, especially in the area of high-end condominium/waterfront properties and was a great asset to us in this area. During the development phase of our project, Lara was engaged in giving her valuable time and attention to assist us with marketability and sales. Lara kindly went out of her way to ensure our project was represented professionally and to broadest targeted prospects. When an opportunity presented itself, she was always impressive with her unswerving reliability to seeing each lead through and brainstorming with potential clients and investors strategies toward a common goal. Lara was consistently available to us and to the clients, highly attentive and followed up very quickly and professionally. She has a natural ability to be encouragingly persistent and helpful to both sides without overstepping with her engaging personality. Lara showed great attention to detail and ethics to ensure that any potential client or investment opportunity will be followed through accurately. She works very hard at her profession and it gave proven results. She is highly talented technologically and made excellent use of the relevant search engines and real estate databases both generally and of Sotheby’s many systems to ensure success that was in line with our specific needs. Lara was a great addition to our team and I am sure she will be to yours! Randy and Lori Degler Sawgrass Builders, Inc.
Home Sold!!! Lara, I just wanted to thank you for the professionalism you showed throughout the process of selling my home. You advised me on how to get my home ready to be listed. Even though I resisted on certain items, in the end you were right. The photographer you brought was also very good. I received a solid offer in 3 days and the closing also went very well. If I know anyone who is selling or buying property in the area, I will definitely suggest they hire you. Thanks again. Best regards.
Lara Goodwin did a fantastic job helping us sell our villa in Delray Beach. She determined the best listing price and worked tirelessly to help us prepare the property for sale. Lara prepared beautiful pictures and listing documents, which immediately generated interest from many prospective buyers. Due to her efforts we were able to sell our villa in record time, for more than we expected. Whether it was the need to find painters or locksmiths, or getting the homeowners association to fix a roof and provide the necessary documents for closing, Lara always expended an incredible amount of energy on our behalf. You couldn’t choose a better agent than Lara!
Lara had the perfect amount of patience and persistence when we worked together to find our vacation home. We firmly believe without Lara’s guidance, quick action and attention to detail, we would not have gotten our dream condo! She went above and beyond to find the craftsman who worked in the condominium, should we want to call upon them for continuity if we felt the need to make changes or put our personal stamp on the space. Knowing she cared about us and had our best interests in mind, made the whole experience so much fun and stressless. We completely trusted Lara! We highly recommend her if you are in the market for a realtor.
We had never met an agent like Lara before. She changed for me what it meant to be a realtor. She was terrific. It was amazing to watch her in action and to see the energy and care she put into all she did. She worked so hard to make sure we got the best price for our unit. We were selling the condominium that our parents used for 40 years. It had many emotional ties and as we lived in England we also did not understand the American process. Lara held our hand through the whole journey and through every part of the transaction. She was always caring and patient in her dealings with us knowing how much the place meant to us. She did not just market our flat, but she helped with every process along the way. She had an eye and attention to detail to help us present the flat in best way possible. She advised on what we needed to clear, and helped us find names of contractors to clear as we were foreign to the area. She spent time on getting the photos right, at the right time of day. She helped us deal with getting all the information required from the management company of the condominium who were not always forthcoming so that we would have everything ready to present to a buyer. When we did get a buyer, she then helped us through the legal and accounting process to help close the deal..she anticipated all the challenges and tried to be ahead of them. On top of it all she achieved a very good price and kept everyone happy along the way. I would recommend Lara any day . August 18th 2020
Lara, we are so thankful to you! You were extremely professional and dedicated to selling our house for us. You helped us define the price and all the processes before putting the house on the market. During this time we listed with you, we quickly saw the number of interested buyers going up, and in a few months the house was sucessfully sold. We would recommend you to anyone, as you overcame our expectations.
Anyone looking to buy or sell real estate in South Florida would be well served by Lara Goodwin. Lara acted as both the buyer’s and seller’s agent when my wife and I purchased our home in Boca Raton. Lara was able to work through all complications that arose in a professional, efficient and expedient manner. She is extremely dedicated to her clients and was available whenever we needed her. Whenever I have real estate needs in South Florida in the future, Lara will be my go-to person.
2020: we did not see that coming! We listed our house in December of 2019 with Lara Goodwin, not knowing how 2020 was going to unfold. Lara Goodwin was one of the best realtors we have ever had: energetic, diligent, exacting, persistent, and punctual. Somehow, during the pandemic, Lara generated a lot of showings, and our house sold and closed, and she even brought us a full priced offer! She followed up on every lead, she had creative marketing ideas, she was honest with us, and she was always on time and prepared. As a bonus, she was also delightful and we truly enjoyed working with her.
Lara - Thanks again for getting our sale process taken care of in record time.I commend you on your determination, professionalism and deep knowledge of the Boca Raton beach area real estate market.It was an absolute pleasure working with you. Every aspect of our listing and final closing were handled seamlessly.Best Regards, Mervyn B.
Lara is a true professional who was dedicated in completing the sale. Her negotiating skills and determination to protect my interests as the homeowner were sincerely portrayed. She facilitated the entire process with elegant strength. Thank you
We really enjoyed working with Lara. She was on top of every step of our transaction and was super easy to work with. She even went as far as getting on her hands and knees with the inspector to try and get the fireplace to work. Anyway, Lara treated us like her family and we would absolutely recommend her to help someone find their next home.
Lara is a talented, hard-working agent and we were very happy working with her. Her communication was excellent and she was always available and on top of things no matter the day or time. She successfully negotiated and helped us close on our new house. Lara has a kind demeanor and is a pleasure to work with. We highly recommend her!
Lara has exceptional professional skills. Her appropriateness and facilitation of ALL her dealings having to do with the sale of our home and matters with all the other parties involved (Our building, inspectors, attorneys, real estate salesperson, wiring instructions exact dates and times) were done expeditiously to completion for every detail, or “snag”, and the negotiation process. Lara has the ability to handle all of what’s needed and the energy to get the job done - no matter what it takes. We cannot thank her enough for the, truly, remarkable job she did for us. Note: She was working on three properties at the same time for us and we felt as if we were her only client. Say no more. Definitely utilize Lara in ANY real estate dealings you may have. You will be amazed!
It was the utmost pleasure to work with Lara and her Sotheby's team. Her expertise and superior negotiation skills secured a full price offer and closing in just a few weeks, all handled with the utmost professionalism and care. I would recommend Lara to anyone looking to purchase or sell a home in South Florida and will definitely work with her again should I buy another property in Florida.
Lara is friendly and personable. She has terrific sales ability! Very honest and trustworthy. She is steadfast, always maintaining professionalism. Lara is very detailed in everything that she does and maintains good perspective on the big-picture. She is exacting with all follow up and quickly responds to questions and concerns. She can be relied upon.I recommend Lara for any/all real estate sales. In conclusion, Lara worked really hard for me and my sister going out of her way always.
I have been looking for a home in Boca Raton for a few years without any luck. I met Lara in May of 2021 and within a month she found me a home, in a very tough market for buyers, that I absolutely love at a very fair price. She held my hand through the entire process making sure everything went smoothly. She is a consummate professional, paying attention to every detail. Buying a home is a stressful process. Lara finds a way to minimize the stress with class, commitment, and honesty. If I’m ever in the market for another home in South Florida, I wouldn’t think twice about using her again. I would highly recommend her to anyone, either buyer or seller, who asks. I cannot thank her enough for finding me my dream home.
Lara Goodwin.You get what you pay for in life, including selling real estate in the USA. When we first met Lara Goodwin from Sotheby’s we were surprised at the cost of selling our home. In the UK an estate agent will cost you no more than 1.5% of the purchase price and you can list with multiple agents. The difference is vast and truly worth it and it makes a difference to deal with a trained professional.Lara was amazing on first meeting, truly knowledgeable, warm, friendly and most of all confident in what she was doing. Leave it to me, this is what I do best, is what she said. Her marketing was to the point and her attention to detail including the photography of the house surpassed expectationsLara was always available to show the house, early morning or late at night and the gaps in between. She also took time to show off the area, the beach and the surroundings and truly enthused about the house.Needless to say she sold it well and I am beyond pleased with the price we achieved.I cannot recommend Lara highly enough to you. She is the best !

And not by just a few dollars.In many, many house sales over the years, Lara Goodwin is the best realtor we have ever worked with. By far.She is one of a kind. The only kind you need to sell your home. SIR DOMINICK LYNCH R.
Lois and I have bought and sold real estate for over 60 years. We have dealt with many real estate brokers during that period, but Lara Goodwin was probably the most efficient, hardworking agent that we have ever encountered, with great ethics and amazing energy. I could not have asked for more in any broker. We thank you. Lloyd and Lois G.
Lara is an exceptional individual and her determination, creativity and enthusiasm for real estate separates her from average agents! Like many people shopping in today’s market, I was overwhelmed, underprepared and nervous about securing a home. My current rental lease was running out and I did not have much time to waste. A friend recommended Lara and she did not disappoint. She wasted no time in setting up an “intake” call to get to know me, my needs and establish an efficient system for working together. She was determined to scour the neighborhood and found a beautifully renovated townhouse that was perfect for me! I did not want to get too excited because I know how competitive this market is. The house had dozens of patrons pass through the property and received close to 20 offers. The odds were stacked against us, but that did not deter her. She took the time to creatively package my offer by addressing what was most important to the sellers. She created a “win-win” situation that worked out beautifully for everyone and I won my new home! Lara handled tough negotiations and tense working conditions with a smile on her face and an enthusiasm that is contagious! I look forward to doing more deals with her and I feel so lucky my friend introduced us! You will want to make her a part of your family! -Sincerely, Derek
For better or worse, we have moved many times over the years and in turn worked with many real estate professionals. Simply put, Lara Goodwin is the very best.Lara excels in every aspect of the process. Coming from out of state, she was extremely responsive to our schedule. Once in town, the selection of houses were all good prospects and no time was wasted.Most importantly, once we selected a home to bid on - she fought for us tirelessly in negotiations, through the inspection process and all the way to closing.We give Lara our highest recommendation. She is the consummate professional. She took great care of us and placed us into a wonderful home in Boca Raton. Wendy A. and Walt D.
We interviewed several realtors prior to listing our home. Lara stood out for multiple reasons: she came prepared, she was punctual, she looked at our home in great detail and provided a clear plan for how she would position/market our home. I contacted neighbors Lara represented and they both raved about working with her. Lara is incredibly knowledgeable about the area, culture and lifestyle which is the extra connection many buyers need. From start to finish, Lara communicates often with detail and explanation. She provided excellent guidance on how to prepare our home and she arrived early for every showing to personally walk through and make sure it looked great. Our property was unique with no clear comparisons in the area. Lara put together a strong package to support the value and pricing of our home. She is a fierce and focused negotiator which resulted in the highest sale to date on our street!
We were new to South Florida and needed a real estate agent who understood the Boca Raton market well. Lara blends her extensive market knowledge with an outstanding work ethic and a genuine desire to serve her clients’ best interest. We had a great experience working with her on the sale of our condominium and purchase of a new home.
We were lucky to have come across Lara in our search for a new home for my mother. She is extremely knowledgable about the area and is on top of every step of the process. Whenever I would ask about the status of something, it had already been completed. She truly cares about her clients by understanding their needs and conforming to what works best for them. And when it comes to negotiating, she knows exactly how to position your offer to get you the best pricing without jeopardizing the deal. I know we would not have been able to purchase my mother’s home for the price we did or as quickly as we did without her. And if that was not enough, we enjoyed her company throughout! We couldn’t imagine using any other realtor.Thank you so much Lara for all you have done. There is nothing more comforting to know my mother’s in a home she loves.

This letter is written in support of our real estate advisor, Lara Goodwin. She was kind enough to meet us on very little notice and provide us with a book on the history of Boca. We drove around the entire afternoon getting to know one another, the different local communities, real estate market, shopping and dining hot spots. We quickly learned that Lara is very passionate about Boca, knows almost everyone builder and realtor in the area, knows all houses listed and sold in the last several years or finds out very quickly and lets you know, and works hard to make sure she understands her clients preferences and manage expectations.Lara's biggest asset in our estimation is her perseverance to help and protect her clients. She will speak up and point out problems with houses, gently argue points with other advisors and builders, remind other brokers, builders and lawyers of their obligations, and just in general always be there, even nights and weekends, to watch over and guide the process for her clients. We found our perfect home in Boca with Lara's guidance.We give her a 5 star review without reservations. Rick and Kristine R.
Lara,Thank you so much from both my wife and I for the sale of our home. You are truly one of a kind Lara. Patient, Charismatic, Energetic and beyond passionate. The decision to choose you with something as important and impactful as selling our home, was by far the best decision we could have made. Sending lots of love and well wishes, and look forward to many more homes to come. ❤️ Yours sincerely Dylan S.
I was the concierge for Alina Residences for a year and a half. During my time there I was exposed to thousands of people, including residents, staff, vendors, and realtors. I have been a licensed realtor for 24 years and spent 44 years as a butler in the hospitality sector.I met Lara Goodwin within my first month of being at the Alina and knew almost instantly how exceptional she was as a human being. As I became more familiar with her I was entranced by the essence of who and what she was. I soon realized, with time, that she was the best realtor I had ever met. I am humbled to know Lara and have witnessed her ascent and would not hesitate to recommend her as a realtor and paragon for all that is good and decent.
We recently closed on the sale of our condominium in South Florida. Having been an absentee owner for a period of time, we were naturally concerned with connecting with an experienced and professional real estate agent. After our due diligence to locate an experienced and professional real estate agent, we were blessed enough to have been represented by Lara Goodwin of One Sotheby's in South Florida. From our initial coversation and throughout the process, Lara defined professionalism. Incredibly knowledgable about the local market and never once did we feel we weren't a priority. Lara's negotiating skills were first rate; she knew the market and what our condominium was valued at and worked tirelessly from day 1 to secure the best deal possible. There was going to be no settling just to complete the sale. Every potential buyer was informed of the many amenities the condominium complex offers as well as any potential issues. No stone was left unturned. Lara's patience and understanding far exceeded our expectations as her many awards and accolades prove. We could not be any happier with our experience with Lara. If you are looking to buy or sell in South Florida, you can save the time and effort locating a professional and experienced agent and reach out to Lara Goodwin. She can be reached at 216-577-5575. It was such a pleasure to work with Lara. You will not be dissapointed.
We recently moved from New Jersey to Boca Raton and had the immense pleasure of working with Lara as our real estate agent. From the very beginning, she provided exceptional service and attention, making the entire process smooth and stress-free. Lara is incredibly professional and knowledgeable. Her extensive connections with local developers and deep understanding of the area proved invaluable. She consistently demonstrated that she was on our side, always prioritizing our needs and preferences.Her dedication and expertise exceeded our expectations. Thanks to her efforts, we found the perfect home for our family. Beyond her professional excellence, Lara has become someone we trust and look forward to having as a friend in our lives. We are very pleased with her services and highly recommend Lara to anyone looking for a reliable and dedicated real estate agent.
We met Lara when we were visiting a house Lara was showing. We were so impressed by her professionalism, easy manner, attention to detail and marketplace knowledge that we decided to work with her when we returned to continue our search, this time for condominiums. That’s how good she is. We made the right choice. She is exceptional in every way. She is a great listener; she only showed us properties that matched our criteria. Lara guided us through the entire process and even participated in the walkthrough and helped prepare the punch list. We trust her implicitly and look forward to continuing to rely on her for more general advice as we get acclimated to Boca Raton. She has our highest recommendation. Don’t use anyone else.
It was the best of times it was the worst of times. It was a difficult journey because we had to wait 4 years for our project to be completed. Before we signed Lara explained all the pros and cons of a new condo build. She made it clear it could be a longer completion date than had been originally promised. We chose to move ahead. For fours years she stood by our side. She checked in with us weekly…sometimes daily. She wrote and called the developer on our behalf. She offered us other options in case we wanted to back out. She kept us positive and goal focused. She truly was there for us every step of the way for 4 years. Her work ethic, knowledge of real estate and professionalism are impeccable. The realtor for the developer told me "You are lucky to have her working so hard for you…most only show up for their check” That says it all. Thank you Lara!
My dear Lara,Thank you for making the listing, sale and closing of my home of 32 years such a pleasure. No other realtor has gone above and beyond as you have; never missing an appointment, tenacious, ethical and trustworthy. Your professionalism and market knowledge is exceptional.I must say you are one brilliant realtor. I see only success and happiness in your future and I am so grateful to know you. I will recommend you to anyone I know who is selling and/or buying a home. I hope we always stay in touch. Fondly,Margo C.
