Laurel is excited to be back in the Pacific Northwest to serve clients in Portland and Astoria, Oregon. Originally from West Texas, she spent the majority of her life in El Paso but has since adapted to constant change, after her husband Michael joined the military in 2009. From Alaska to Washington, to Michigan, and now to Oregon, she has braved frigid weather, had four children, including twins, made countless friends, and developed a passion for real estate! She has the heart and education background of a teacher, which she has applied to her unique experience with constant change and relocation, to support buyers and sellers in meeting their financial goals. She understands that home is more than a place, it’s a plan that starts with a realtor who offers higher level professional service built on a commitment to acceptance and inclusion that meets the needs of a diverse customer base, without discrimination, and regardless of cultural, personal, social, or professional differences. That means putting the individual client in control of setting the parameters for their home search with her guidance every step of the way. Ultimately, her mission is to create prosperous communities through home ownership, for generations to come.
