Hi, my name is Laura and I am a REALTOR® with 460 Realty.
My love affair with Real Estate began when I was a child watching my family build custom homes in the North Nanaimo area of Hammond Bay.My housing industry career started at a Notary Public’s Office. That opportunity evolved into real estate conveyancing, legal administration, and assisting in the opening of new Real Estate brokerages. Growing up looking at lots and building plans, and chattering about building permits over the weekend with my step-dad and brother who are builders, and a sister in home insurance, immerses me and strengthens my knowledge of the in’s and out’s of the market.
I was born and raised in Nanaimo, spent summers bouncing between our family’s cabin at Beachcomber in Nanoose and diving into the pristine waters of the Nanaimo River. I couldn’t have asked for a better environment to grow up in. At the ripe old age of 28, I fell in love with a hunk from Calgary and moved for a limited time of 5 years, but only making it 4 before we realized that it was time to head home to raise our children surrounded by family, friends and the beautiful west coast. We landed in the rural area of Nanoose Bay on a 5 acre parcel in a log home with loads of space to enjoy with our two amazing children, Charlie and Blake.
I am thrilled to have received my real estate licence and am very excited to be working with my home brokerage of 460 Realty. I feel that my extensive experience in the Real Estate Industry will be a huge asset to my clients. I look forward to sharing my knowledge and enthusiasm about housing especially considering the rapid growth in this amazing community. I look forward to your next exciting step, whatever that may be.
