Laurel began her real estate career by flipping houses, learning firsthand the ins and outs of property investment, renovation, and value creation. That early experience gave her a deep understanding of what makes a home not only marketable but truly livable. Alongside building her career, she raised four children, all of whom are now thriving adults in finance, education, and elder care. Each of them is a proud graduate of the Santa Monica–Malibu Unified School District, a community that has shaped both her family and her professional life. Today, Laurel lives in Santa Monica with her husband and beloved dog, Hobbes. Beyond real estate, she is an active member of the Santa Monica Bay Women’s Club and the Culver City Gardening Club, where she stays connected to the community and nurtures her love for collaboration and growth. Her journey has been about building, nurturing, and investing—whether in homes, family, or community. That same dedication drives how she serves her clients: with insight, care, and a commitment to helping them achieve their goals.
