Seeking a career that would tap Laura’s writing and marketing skills and also offer unlimited potential for success, Laura embarked on her real estate career in early 2002. She was hired by a boutique real estate office in Solana Beach to be the Broker/Owner’s assistant. There, she earned her California real estate sales license and has been selling and buying homes for clients ever since.

Laura is a member in excellent standing with the Greater San Diego Association of Realtors, the California Association of Realtors, the National Association of Realtors, and The Institute for Luxury Home Marketing. Laura has helped San Diegans sell and buy over $600M in local real estate from Oceanside to the border and La Jolla to Campo.

Though Laura has earned the distinction of selling more homes in La Mesa than any other agent, she services all of San Diego County. In 2024, Laura achieved ICON status with eXp Realty—a feat accomplished only by the top 5% of eXp agents, of whom there are more than 80,000.

One hundred percent of Laura's business is referral, repeat, or reputation. It is not unusual for Laura to become the agent for entire families and their multiple real estate transactions.

Laura always makes sure her clients are pleased with the sale of their home, thrilled with their purchase of a home, and delighted with their relationship with her. The buck always stops with her; no matter what problems arise in a transaction, Laura fixes them.

As someone who cares deeply about her hometown community, Laura won a seat on the La Mesa City Council in a special election in November 2021 and was reelected in November 2022 to a four-year term.

She is a former newspaper editor-in-chief/journalist and a California State University, Long Beach graduate, where she earned her BA in Journalism. She has served on the Pacific Southwest Board of Realtors and as Vice-Chair of the Pacific Southwest Association of Realtors Government Affairs. She has also served on La Mesa Village business boards since 2008.

She is the proud mom of three wonderful young adults, two adorable grandchildren, and one granddaughter, expected in August 2025. Her life partner, Simon, is also her business partner.

Laura welcomes calls, texts, and emails 365 days per year. She can be reached at (619) 540-7744 or email her here: laura@lauralothianrealestate.com
