Intuitive coaching…Laurie personalizes the coaching experience based on what the client is searching for. This is not a one size fits all approach.

Life is better when you have a 3 legged stool.  One income path is what most rely on, but 2 is a bit more stable and 3…3 legs in a stool is much more likely to set up a solid monthly cash flow.

Laurie changed my entire real estate career path through her coaching.  I went from giving up 60% of my commission being on a team to a very successful individual agent, helping over 70 families a year with her coaching.  I wanted to learn from an agent that was working in the trenches like myself, I needed weekly inspiration and most importantly to be held accountable so I could reach my goals.  I have been a part of her coaching program since 2019 and with her guidance I’ve smashed my goals and continue to help more families each year make the biggest purchase of their life.  She had me step out of the traditional real estate role as a “salesman” into the role as an educator to be the go to real estate consultant that everyone enjoys to interact with.  I recommend Knudson Consulting to any agent, in any stage of their career.  Her approach to real estate will change your life, push you out of your comfort zone and hold you accountable so you can create your dream career.
