The real estate industry has always fascinated Laury. She began her journey as a trainee appraiser in 2005, right after college. Her sponsor, who had over 20 years of experience, shared invaluable knowledge that helped her develop a strong foundation in the profession. By 2006, Laury became a Licensed Appraiser, and in 2009, she achieved certification as a Certified Residential Appraiser.
Laury loves helping others and finds great satisfaction in producing fair and unbiased appraisals that help maintain trust in the market.
“It ensures all parties involved feel comfortable with the transaction, whether it’s the buyer who doesn’t want to overpay or the seller seeking fair market value. That sense of fairness is incredibly rewarding.”
She is dedicated to going above and beyond for her clients and homeowners.
“Whether it’s scheduling after-hours appointments for homeowners who cannot meet during regular business hours or discussing the appraisal process to answer their questions and put their minds at ease, I’m committed to going the extra mile.”
Professionalism is an integral part of Laury’s daily work.
“As a professional, I take pride in maintaining a high standard of integrity, being respectful, punctual, and having strong communication skills, while representing the client or lender to the highest standard.”
