Coldwell Banker Elite Welcomes Laura Holt

Meet Laura

First, let me thank you for taking the time to read a little bit about me and what I have to offer as a licensed real estate agent. I want to connect with you. I know that you’re about to choose an agent that will assist you with one of the most important financial transactions of your lifetime. Through the story of my career and personal life, you will see how my experiences have prepared me to be the best real estate agent for you.
Let’s start with who I am personally. My motivation for working hard stems from my family. It is important to me to be a good example for my children. I am a proud mother of 4 boys, 2 of which are twins. 22 years ago I married my wonderful husband. His support has been amazing. Together we lean on each other to keep our family centered. We all need someone to stand in our corner. This is what I will do for you as your agent.
You see, my husband and I started out as high school sweethearts in a small town in Indiana. In this rural community, I grew up on a family farm. This is where my parents taught me the value of hard work. As I matured, I graduated from Indiana University with a degree in Dental Hygiene and later obtained a Bachelors Degree in Health Science Education. My career in Dentistry taught me how to care for people while keeping their best interests in the forefront. My personal code of ethics is very similar in real estate. Educate, be honest, and abide by the regulations of the law.
Let me answer the question of why I chose real estate as a profession. My interest in the real estate field began with moving experiences. I have relocated multiple times. We have lived in Indiana, the Chicago area, North Dakota, and now Virginia. Yes, North Dakota is cold. Maybe this is why I love the warm summer in Virginia. However, through each move there were ups and downs. There was always excitement at the beginning of each new adventure and a flood of emotions telling our friends and family goodbye. Thankfully, a real estate agent stood by our side helping us sell and then buy our next home. Just like these agents, I care about my clients on a personal level. You can trust me to look out for your best interests.
I partner with Coldwell Banker Elite of Stafford Virginia, because they provide me with the best tools to get the job done in the current real estate market. In return, I will partner with you and your family to sell or purchase your next home.
