Description
I am a real estate broker serving Greenville, Winterville, Ayden, Farmville, Washington, New Bern and surrounding areas. I enjoy working hard to make my clients happy!

The Professional Laura...

If you are looking for a real estate agent who is dedicated & energetic, you have come to the right place!

I believe that the purchase or sale of real estate should be a positive, profitable and enjoyable experience for each and every client. My mission is to genuinely listen to my client's needs and fulfill them.  I strive to have a profound and lasting impact on the people's lives that I touch by assisting them with their real estate needs and through all that I may do for them.  My desire is to make your real estate experiences as stress free and time efficient as possible, with positive attitude, while maintaining loyalty, honesty and integrity in all that I do.

I am a qualified professional who has been successfully assisting people and families buy and sell their homes and investment properties since 2000.  A 1991 graduate of East Carolina University, I earned a BA degree in Psychology with a Business Administration minor.  I have a strong background in sales, marketing and public relations and am well respected for my ability to communicate on many levels. 

Growing up in the real estate business in Charlotte, NC created a great foundation and thorough real estate training along with continued education including graduation from the distinguished Howard Brinton Star Power Buyer's and Seller's Universities, supply me with the knowledge and ability to meet the special needs of each of my clients.

In addition to real estate,  I am a Commmunity Representative for Face The World.  Face The World is a non-profit educational and cultural exchange organization that has brought thousands of students from across the globe to live and share cultures with American host families.  I have also spent time as a Community Based Service Provider working with young children with special needs.

I believe that life is won by helping others.  Allow me to assist you with your real estate needs and you will be giving me Great referrals before you know it!      That's a promise.

I look forward to earning your trust and your business and having you become my... client for life! 

On a personal note...

Believe it or not... there is more to life than real estate!!  I enjoy seeing my clients and neighbors in the community and everyday life!

I have lived in Greenville since 1987 and am a native North Carolinian. I am the mother of a nearly teenaged daughter Clay.  I believe we should approach life and everything we do with passion and a positive attitude but sometimes I wonder if I'll make it through the next 7 or 8 years with all of my hair in tact! :o)

Clay and I are diehard PIRATES!!  Tailgating at the ECU football games is a favorite of ours!  We also enjoy boating, the water in general and among other things, our critters.  We currently have a Great Dane - Cleo and cats - Chaos & Aramis. Birds, lizards, guinea pigs, salt & fresh water fish and the occasional saved turtle or squirrel have also occupied some space in our home from time to time. 

Being involved in the community is another passion.  I have held a seat on the Board of Directors for the Humane Society of Eastern Carolina and continue to volunteer with them as well as The Marley Fund. I also volunteer with the Muscular Distrophy Association, the Children's Miracle Network Telethon and the Community Development Committe with the Greenville/Pitt Associaton of Realtors.

I love playing handbells in church and have since I was a child.  My family and I of course enjoy spending time together and with friends. I am most grateful to my grandmother for giving me strength and instilling compassion and to my daughter for inspiring love beyond imagination.

I have had the pleasure of wide variety of real estate transactions over the years: first time home buyers, investors, relocation, commercial buyers, first time sellers,  experieced buyers & sellers, custom built homes, land, property management (rentals) and I looking forward to many many more!

- Robyn Knox - Snow Hill, NC

 

Selling and Buying

"Hi Laura,
We are loving our new home. Bob and I want to thank your so much for making the move from our old house to our new home so smooth and easy. There was so much going on with buying, selling and working out the move. All we had to do was answer phones and sign lots of papers.
I wish you the Very Best in the future and if anyone I know needs to move, I'll make sure to refer you!"

- Bob & Lunette Hines - Greenville, NC

 

Selling Investment Property

"Laura,
Thanks for the help on 518 E 2nd Street. Settlement went smoothly. Could not have done it without you."

- Fred Hawkins - Washington, NC

 

Sorority

"Laura,
Thank you for all you have donefor our house corp and chapter. I feel we have grown closer than the usual client-agent relationship. You have gone above and beyond your duties as an agent. I hope we will remain friends after all this is over, maybe even sisters!"

- Lexi Hasapis - Greenville, NC

 

Relocating

"Dear Laura,
We wanted to take this opportunity to thank you for all your assistance in finding a new home in Greenville. From our first meeting and now, through settlement, you have been extremely helpful. It is difficult to find and buy a home via long distance, and you were (and still are!!) continually going above and beyond the call of duty to see us through each and every step.

Having delt with many realtors over the years, we realize just how much work you all put into the buying and selling of homes. I also know that it is not standard procedure for an agent to do all the "extras" that you have done for us. Laura, for all your hard work, we are truly grateful."

- Ellie & Bruce Stroll - Laurel, MD
