Laura believes buying a house is more than a purchase. It’s about finding the right community to call home. A New Jersey native who once lived in Manhattan, her entrepreneurial journey began when she became a mom in NYC and founded Mommybites, a thriving community for new parents. After her daughter turned one, Laura and her family moved to Summit, NJ, beginning an exciting new chapter in the suburbs.
Now that her children are grown, Laura blends her business expertise, deep knowledge of the New Jersey suburbs she proudly calls home, and her passion for community as a real estate professional. She guides families through their relocation journeys with clarity and care, recognizing that buying or selling a home is not just a transaction, it is the start of an exciting new chapter.

A Real Estate Opportunity On Your Own Terms
Join me on Thursday, October 16th for an informative webinar where I’ll introduce a unique side hustle within the real estate world. It’s something you can start slowly now, fit around your current schedule, and later scale into something bigger if and when the timing is right.
(And FYI- you don’t have to work full time to do this and it’s not about flipping homes!)
This opportunity is designed to be flexible, simple to begin, and full of earning potential. You’ll be working directly with me, and I’ll guide you every step of the way so you never feel like you’re figuring it out alone.
This could be a great fit if one or more of the following resonate with you:
✅ Like the idea of passive income in real estate without becoming a full-time agent
✅ Are well connected in your community and/or or know a lot of people
✅ Are active on social media (or open to starting)
✅ Want a side hustle that can stay small or grow bigger depending on your goals
✅ Have an interest in real estate
There’s minimal upfront cost, no pressure to go all in (unless you choose to), and plenty of potential to turn your strengths into income.
If you’ve been looking for a flexible side hustle that can grow with you, this is your chance to see how real estate can open the door.
Event Details:
Date: Thursday, October 16th 8:00 – 9:00 PM
Place: Online (Link will be provided upon registration)
