Laurie was born and raised on a beef cattle farm in Madison County, Virginia, learning the importance of a strong work ethic growing up. She earned a Bachelor’s degree in Business Management from Virginia Tech, and went on to embark on an entire career in customer service, which parlayed into real estate.
After purchasing her second home in 2016 (she bought her first house in Glen Allen at age 25), Laurie decided to pursue her passion for the business, transitioning real estate from being her side passion to her full-time profession. Laurie has not regretted a minute – she loves helping people reach their real estate goals! Joining the Hogan Group, she specializes in residential sales in Virginia in all price ranges, and is committed to being her absolute best at providing top-notch client service.
Laurie goes above and beyond, putting the time and effort in to satisfy the needs of her buyers and sellers. She sees herself in their shoes, relates well to all types of people, and doesn’t quit until the job is done. Laurie proved this in the world of big box retail management and in the utility industry, where she did everything from interacting with executives, to wearing a hard hat and steel toe boots in muddy fields to help fix problems.
Laurie, her husband, and their two daughters reside in Madison County with the family dog. In her free time, she likes baking (especially complicated layer cakes), and pretending she’s a DIY master on home improvement projects.

I was born and raised in Central Virginia but I've been fortune to call Madison County home for over thirty years. I purchased my first home in my early twenties and have since then bought and sold several times since. I've always had an interest in the real estate sphere, so it only made sense to obtain my license in 2021 and help other families experience the feeling of home ownership of their own! Since then, I've helped many first time home buyers, families moving from another state, and have even helped multiple families that are stationed in other countries find a home right here for when they return- it never gets old seeing the emotions of excitement on my clients faces. When I'm not running the roads showing properties and selling homes throughout Virginia, you can find me competing in western horse disciplines, cheering for my children on the sideline of their sporting events, and even coaching! I would love to help you make your home buying dreams become a reality- my personal experience combined with my professional expertise is what drives me to exceed my clients expectations
