Want to get to know me better?Hey - Laura here!So today I thought I’d drop in and tell you more about myself and why I do what I do.You see, I grew up in the suburbs of Chicago. Back in the day it was unheard of for a 25 year old to have their own house being single, but I did and was very proud of myself.I always dreamed of moving to Vegas in 1995, and I did just that and went to work for the casino’s as a black jack and Craps dealer.I started investing my money in a beautiful home for myself, rented out my small townhouse and then gradually bought 3 more rental properties and I rented all of these out.Eventually I sold 2 of my rental properties to buy a larger home in Henderson.As I was going through these transactions, I fell in love with real estate and investing and decided to get my real estate license in 2008.Perfect timing, right?The market was going through some tough times.I adjusted my business to meet the needs of my clients & help them get out of debt with short selling their homes and into something they can afford and they were able to buy again within 2 years or less.From there my husband and I thought it would be nice to move our family to Texas which has a wonderful school system.We moved to McKinney, TX which also allowed us to be less than 45 minutes from my grandmother & sister, and only 4 hours from my husband's family.I was very grateful to be able to spend time with my grandmother in her later years before she passed. She was an incredible person and loved by everyone she met.I started my business all over again and got my license for Texas.After living in the area for 8 years, I love the area we are in and surrounding areas. I love helping people find the right home for their lifestyle.Today, I’m grateful to be helping homeowners in Collin County seamlessly transition from one home to the next.
