A designer's eye on a very human decision
Before real estate became her full-time work, Laura trained in horticultural and interior design. It shapes how she looks at every home: what buyers will notice first, which small changes earn their cost, and how to present a property so it shows as its best self.
She is the designer behind the downloadable landscape plans that Sheridan Nurseries has offered for more than a decade, including their Quick Curb Appeal guides. That same practical thinking runs through her staging work and her free guides.
Her advisory approach treats each client as a lifelong relationship, not a single transaction. That idea has been cited in industry discussion of where real estate is heading.
How Laura works with clients
- Plain language. Each step is explained clearly, so decisions never feel rushed or confusing.
- Local knowledge. Laura knows Ajax street by street, from Pickering Village to South Ajax, and sells across Durham Region.
- Preparation that pays. Staging, curb appeal and presentation are part of the plan from the start. See how selling works.
- Support for life transitions. Downsizing, estate sales, separations and relocation are handled with care. Start with the free guides.
- A network across Canada. When clients move away, Laura works with trusted referral partners so the guidance continues on both sides of the move.
Giving back through Junior Green Thumbs
In 2015, Laura founded Junior Green Thumbs, a classroom garden initiative. A fully equipped garden goes to a school with every home she buys or sells, and the program has reached thousands of students across five GTA school boards. It started as the “Edible Classroom” and has been profiled by Sutton Spirit and Real Estate Magazine.

Home is where life happens
Family is what grounds Laura. She is a mom to two young men, happily married, and the keeper of two goofy Labs who keep life lively. Having moved up, downsized and everything in between, she knows a home is more than an address.
That perspective shapes how she supports clients: with kindness, vision and strategy, and with the goal of making a stressful time feel manageable, even enjoyable.
