Laura Josel began her career as a REALTOR® in 2004 after 13 years in corporate America, where she worked in marketing for Holiday Inn Corporate HQ and a large Atlanta civil engineering firm.
She has found her joy working as a REALTOR®.
Helping her clients through the fun, yet challenging, time of searching for the right home to invest their lives in or selling a place that holds so many memories make her happy to 'go to work' each day! She has worked with a range of clients through the years, including first time buyers, parents moving to a new area so their kids will be in great schools and empty nesters selling the home they raised their families in. She has also dedicated a large part of her efforts to helping residents relocating into the city. Each experience is new and exciting to her.
Laura is the Cat's Meow in real estate service!
It may seem like a cliché to some, but she takes her tagline very seriously! Not only is she committed to top tier service for all of her clients, but she is a passionate lover of cats. She currently has three fur babies at home: Voodoo, Zulu, and Rex. They're all rescues and a constant source of fun and laughter in her house. Volunteering is important to her, and she likes to offer her time to a fantastic organization called Good Mews Animal Foundation. She recently has become a Good Mews foster mom for kitties needing a place to grow and heal before they become ready for adoption. In addition to cats, other things she enjoys are wine, traveling domestically and abroad, funky art, finding hidden gems in Atlanta's restaurant scene and enjoying the exciting things we are so lucky to have going on in our city every day!
New Orleans is her heart's home!
Although Laura grew up in Memphis, TN, she considers New Orleans her heart's home. She is the only person in her family not born in NOLA! She's always said she has Louisiana running through her veins. She tries to visit family there at least once a year to get her fix. After high school in Memphis, she came to Georgia to attend the University of Georgia (Go Dawgs!). At the end of college, the 1996 Atlanta Olympics were announced (yes, she's dating herself), and she knew she couldn't leave. In her more than 30 years here, she's lived all over Metro Atlanta, including Norcross in Gwinnett County, the Lenox/Cheshire Bridge/LaVista Road Area in DeKalb County, Virginia-Highland in Fulton County and now Smyrna in Cobb County. Each community holds a special place in her heart.
