About Laura
Real estate is not so much about guiding you through a transaction; it’s about collaborating with you to champion your cause – usually a very important, personal cause at that. You’ll want to know how Ole’s diverse background can better help you achieve your goals:
  • Team Player: A 4-year starter and 2-year captain for the Stanford Volleyball team, Laura knows teams outperform individuals. You’re “in it to win it” when you work together.
  • Business Minded: Laura’s love of Austin began when she left California to complete her MBA at UT (now McCombs). She uses her knowledge of finance, negotiations, leverage and marketing to further your real estate goals.
  • Proven Strategist: Exemplified by four years in PricewaterhouseCoopers’ Strategy group, Ole excels at helping you see the big picture and then master the details.
  • Straight Shooter: Ole aims for honesty and transparency. She seeks to understand your highest-level motivations so she can help revisit these when it comes to decision time.
  • Broad Perspective: Laura has lived overseas in Barcelona, Copenhagen, Frankfurt, Brussels and London. Domestically, she's resided in San Diego, San Francisco, Chicago and New York. She uses this broad, international perspective when evaluating Austin trends.

Ole would love to know how she could assist you… even if it’s finding the perfect Realtor for you elsewhere. Drop her a line anytime!

Ole currently resides in the Brentwood/Crestview area with dogs Ziggy and Perdy and has two rental properties, one in Zilker, and one in East Austin. PS - In case you were wondering, Ole rhymes with holy, y’all.
