About Laurie

Laurie is known for being on the go, a people person, a dog mom to two crazy chihuahuas, Gidget and Shadow, a global traveler, and an aficionado of mid-century modern architecture. Yes, Palm Springs is one of her favorite places!

Over the last 15 years, Laurie has been involved in real estate in some way from starting off as an assistant to working for a luxury auction firm hosting auctions around the globe to being a dual licensed agent and part of a top luxury team. 2021 was a great first year being licensed in the state of Texas with over five million dollars in sales and being a top producer for the second quarter at a former boutique brokerage.

After gaining notable sales she was able to join her long-time friend, top luxury sales agent, and Laurie’s own agent, Desmond MIlvenan to create the Desmond Luxury Group. The two of them are dynamic duo and they share the vision of providing an excellent real estate experience.

Laurie loves Austin and you can always ask her about the latest restaurants, she knows all the best confectionary places and the secret taco trucks. She loves to “taco about Austin” so ask her!

She is also one of the few people who can say they are a native of Las Vegas. Born and raised! In addition, she has some really fun jobs in hospitality as Rio Rita at the Rio Hotel & Casino and Miss Liberty at the New York - New York Hotel & Casino. Her time in hospitality provided a wonderful foundation for working with people.

If she isn’t with clients either in Austin or Las Vegas, she’s planning events, traveling with her husband, or raising money for local dog rescues with her proceeds from her book series.

Working with Laurie is a game-changer. She loves what she does and wants to help you match your lifestyle with a perfect place to call home (or second home).
