Laura’s life has been shaped by movement. Growing up in a family tied to the computer industry, she relocated every few years across the Midwest and the South before later living abroad in Vicenza, Italy, as a military spouse. After a 12-year chapter in Fayetteville, North Carolina, Laura moved to the Leander and Cedar Park area in the mid-2000s, where she has since lived in multiple neighborhoods and put down long-term roots. With decades of firsthand relocation experience, she understands both the emotional and logistical weight of moving—and the importance of getting it right.

Before real estate, Laura built a highly successful private massage practice that spanned more than 20 years, operating two locations with a consistent waiting list and later working at world-class destinations like Lake Austin Spa and Resort. Serving an international, high-profile clientele taught her discretion, precision, and luxury-level care—skills that translate seamlessly into real estate. Her background allows her to listen deeply, stay calm under pressure, and guide clients with confidence through what can otherwise feel like a stressful process. Having worked across multiple facets of the industry—from mortgage offices to lean, high-volume operations teams—Laura brings rare behind-the-scenes knowledge and administrative strength to every transaction.

What Laura loves most about her work is delivering a clean, well-executed plan. She is a straight-shooter who values efficiency, strong data, and proactive problem-solving. Her goal is to anticipate challenges before they arise, protect her clients’ time, and provide a clear, organized path forward—so clients can focus on the excitement of their next chapter rather than the stress of the move.

Outside of work, Laura is married to her husband, Paul, and is deeply family-oriented. She is the proud mother of three sons—one in heaven, one in Seattle, and one in Dallas—and a devoted grandmother to eight grandchildren who lovingly call her “Grandma.” Laura enjoys traveling, learning new things, supporting the arts, and cherishing time with her grandchildren, who remain the foundation and greatest priority in her life.

Why is it important to you to partner with a local brokerage?

As the market continues to evolve—especially with AI-driven changes—I want to be aligned with a brokerage that has the technological foresight to leverage the best systems and data available. Partnering with Bramlett Partners means having access to smart, integrated tools through a single-dashboard approach, allowing me to focus on high-value client relationships while delivering more informed, strategic outcomes.

What’s your favorite local spot and why?

I’m inspired by Austin’s creative energy and love staying connected through local theater and live showcases. One of my favorite summer traditions is hiking or canoeing around Barton Springs, followed by a sunset picnic at the Zilker Hillside Theater with friends. Whether exploring authentic food spots with my husband or drawing on the years I lived in Italy, I value unique experiences, meaningful connections, and supporting the local arts community.

Is there a local cause that is important to you and why?

I’m deeply committed to supporting The Compassionate Friends, a national nonprofit that provides hope and connection to families navigating the loss of a child. This mission is profoundly personal to me after the loss of my adult son in 2018, and the organization was a vital source of strength during that time. I’m also a dedicated supporter of the Texas Baptist Children’s Home, whose work providing safe housing, counseling, and stability for children, single mothers, and youth aging out of foster care strongly aligns with my belief that every child deserves the opportunity to thrive.
