Laura brings more than a decade of corporate client success experience to real estate, with a strong foundation in communication, negotiation, problem-solving, and putting clients first.

Today, Laura leads the day-to-day operations of Haylo Homes Group.

A Northern Illinois University graduate, Laura has a genuine connection to the communities she serves. She is passionate about making the buying and selling process feel personal, approachable, and less overwhelming while keeping her clients informed and confident every step of the way.
