About Laura Byrne, Realtor

Helping home buyers and sellers achieve their real estate goals throughout central Maryland

Buying or selling a home is more than just a transaction: it’s a life-changing experience. That's why I put 110% into providing outstanding personalized service and work relentlessly on my clients' behalf. A full-time Realtor® in the greater Baltimore area since 2003, I have helped hundreds of buyers and sellers achieve their real estate goals, My team and I at Long and Foster and The Vesta Group represent some of the best and brightest in the industry. We provide expertise in a wide range of specialties, exceptional service and unparalleled dedication, guiding our clients through their transactions with communication, care, and integrity from our first meeting, through settlement, and beyond.

​

My philosophy is simple: clients come first. I pledge to be in constant communication with my clients, keeping them fully informed throughout the entire buying or selling process. I believe that if you’re not left with an amazing experience, I haven’t done my job. I don’t measure success through achievements or awards, but through the satisfaction of my clients.

​

More about me: 

I’m an NAR GREEN certified Realtor, a member of the Greater Baltimore Board of Realtors, Maryland Association of Realtors and the National Association of Realtors. I have been a full-time licensed Realtor with Long and Foster since 2003 and started the Vesta Group with my real estate partner Brad Cox in 2016. I received my NAR GREEN designation in 2022 to educate my clients and keep current with sustainability and energy efficiency in real estate.

​

Graduating from the Peabody Conservatory of the Johns Hopkins University in 1995, I moved to Baltimore from my home state of Vermont in 1989 and have been enjoying the area ever since. 

​

After a brief career in music management (Baltimore Choral Arts Society and the National Chamber Orchestra) I decided to become a Realtor® in 2002 as a way to combine my enthusiasm for Baltimore, appreciation of real estate and well developed marketing skills. A natural at organizing and making things happen, my favorite part of being a Realtor is making connections for others, whether it's finding the perfect home or buyer, or recommending the best contractor for the job.

Some of my specialties include first-time home buyers, relocation, move-up buyers, empty-nesters, condominiums, divorce and estate sales, historic, water front and luxury homes. I have in-depth market knowledge and experience in all of central Maryland including Baltimore County and City, Howard, Harford, Carroll, Anne Arundel and Frederick counties. I also cover some coastal areas including Ocean City.

​

In my spare time, I’m also a musician (a former classical flutist who now plays mostly Irish traditional music.) I also enjoy photography, reading, hiking, web design, travel, gardening and swimming. I live in Towson, with my husband Jim, one cat, and two Labrador retrievers
