Personal Profile
I feel like I've been preparing my entire life to help people buying and selling real estate.
My childhood home was filled with blueprints, and vacations always involved stops at local model homes with my parents who worked in residential construction. These opportunities gave me an early appreciation and interest in housing.
As a professional photographer I have developed an eye for detail that comes in handy when I advise sellers preparing their homes for listing. I learned to patiently and effectively listen and communicate with people of all ages while teaching high school chemistry. Flipping houses taught me about what to watch for while walking through a home for sale. And as an owner of several out-of-state AirBNB properties, I have experience in evaluating investment properties as well as how to furnish and stock them to meet renter expectations.
I am (finally) home in the right career, and I'm really excited to work with you!

Buyer reviewWorking with Laura was like working with a friend. She really cared about what we wanted and needed. She was extremely flexible on our journey of home buying. She was supportive during the ups and downs and was truly a joy to work with. I would highly recommend her to others looking to purchase a home.

Buyer reviewIf you're looking for an approachable and knowledgeable professional in the realty field, Laura Burns should be your first and only choice! We were pleasantly (and consistently) surprised by her vast knowledge base ranging from locations to structural considerations. Sher made us feel welcome, involved and important as we tortured her through our exhaustive search for the home that we are happy to have landed. You can't go wrong with Laura Burns, for anything.

Seller reviewHouse sold in 4 hours of opening viewing. We received above asking, and above appraisal. Laura did a great job in negotiating and making sure our contract was solid and pricing had guarantees.

Buyer reviewWe were matched with Laura via realtor.com and got very, very lucky! Laura has many contacts and shared them willingly without any expectations to use them. If we did not know any better, we would have thought we were her only clients based on how quickly she responded and the time she took with us when we had questions or concerns. I am not a "numbers person" and had many questions. Laura was patient and kind and has a way of articulating things to make them simple and easy to understand.

Seller reviewWe have had a negative experience with a realtor in the past. We felt that person treated us as a business. With Laura, we felt that we were her only clients and she "held our hands" every step of the way. Laura knows this business. We did question a few things based on our own inexperience and ignorance and she reassured us but did not push too hard. She knows how to balance what she knows with our comfort zone. We always felt Laura truly wanted us to find the right house and even steered us away from a house because she thought it was in our best interest. She NEVER pushed us just to make a sale! Laura has integrity! Once again, we appreciate honestly and integrity. We feel like we have a new friend that will always be in our corner.

Buyer reviewAgent was very Patient . She understood how hectic my work schedule was and planned around it. She was honest and upfront about homes which we were viewing. Whenever I had questions, no matter what time it was, she responded quickly. I love the home which I found but it would not have been possible without Laura.
