OUR STORY
In 2009, a deep love of people and the opportunity to make a difference in their story led Lara to pursue a career in real estate. From 2009 - 2014 Lara served as a supporting agent for a team where she grew her passion for this business and talents in negotiations, market expertise, and the importance of each and every detail. In 2015 Lara stepped out and launched her own real estate business. The team grew in 2017 when Becca joined the team and then again in 2019 with the addition of Sarah! The years since have allowed for a symbiotic team to develop where each person’s talents are celebrated and used in service to our clients in thoughtful and effective ways. In 2025, Sarah joined Lara as a partner. Her talents and expertise made this a natural next step as her dedication to this business and our clients had been demonstrated time and time again. Our team works together to create a seamless experience from start to finish rooted in relationship, expertise, and a deep care for those we serve. We are honored to share in this significant life transition with you and it is our hope that you will feel confident in our ability to expertly guide and represent you with professionalism, confidence, and integrity.

Our Commitment
Driven by a love for helping people and confidence in our ability to implement and execute systems effectively, we are committed to a smooth and consistent client experience rooted in integrity, trust, dedication, collaboration, and kindness.
