Meet gifted RealtorĀ® and nature lover, Lauri Clay.
Lauriās done everything there is to do in real estate, from helping first-time home buyers to selling million-dollar properties. She got her start in real estate over 18 years ago, around the time The Bob and Ronna Group got started itself. Today, Lauri has been with The Bob and Ronna Group the longest, over 9 years. A veteran of the business, Lauri knows whatās important in a home. āI want clients to find joy in their home and create those lasting memories,ā she says. āI care about finding people the right house. I really want them to be happy,ā says Lauri.
If thereās anything sheās learned over the years, itās that if a client is unsure at the viewing, theyāll be miserable by settlement. Lauri implores her buyers to keep their long-term goals in mind. You might not need an extra bedroom or a big yard now, but think about 5-10 years down the line. Are you planning on having kids? Are you a soon-to-be empty nester who needs to downsize? How long do you expect to live there? These are important factors when choosing a home. āYou should always be concerned about resale,ā Lauri says. The āforever homeā is a romantic idea, but itās rarely a reality.
When Lauri contemplates real estate, she says āit should be more about service than sales.ā Itās important to Lauri that clients understand what theyāre purchasing and get a good value. Lauri always asks herself: āWill this property fit their needs? Are they making informed decisions?ā She says, āItās my job to guide them in that effort.ā
Before Lauri joined The Bob and Ronna Group, she and Ronna had only ever spoken briefly. āShe called somewhat out of the blue,ā Lauri says. From there, things moved quickly and Lauri found herself on the team! āTheyāre wonderful people,ā Lauri says, āIād never do anything that wasnāt good for a client, and Bob and Ronna are the same way.ā Itās these common principles of care and hard work that attracted Lauri to the company and itās why sheās still on board to this day. Of course, it doesnāt hurt that her income with Bob and Ronna rose greatly. āAt the time I had two college-aged kids. I wanted to make more money⦠It turned out to be a blessing,ā says Lauri.
When sheās not at work, Lauri enjoys watching classic black and white films of the 30ās and 40ās and tending her organic vegetable garden. āThereās something soothing about digging in the dirt,ā she says, āI donāt get a lot of time to do it, but I love having my hands in the soil.ā Lauri also loves feeding the local wildlife and puppysitting for her son.
