My Journey

Amidst one of the hardest times of my life, I found peace in trusting God’s plan for me and my family. Through this journey, I have gained a new outlook on life, prioritizing the things that matter most: my faith, family and passion for helping others. For our family, traveling and exploring new places was always a special way for us to bond and experience new things.

When we set out to San Diego in 2017, I thought it was the start of another exciting adventure. However, everything changed when I found out I had breast cancer. Upon hearing the words and the following onslaught of information to prepare for what lie ahead, I realized God brought us to the West Coast for a reason. My life and business were in Jupiter, Florida, but here, we were away from it all. While I knew it was not an easy journey ahead, I was grateful for the timing.

Being on the West Coast allowed me to focus on what matters most without facing the normal day-to-day stresses. I was truly in the best of hands at UCSD with some of the top oncologists in the nation.

Teachers and staff at our children’s school lent a helping hand, bringing my children home if I was unable to get there. The willingness of those around us to help was truly remarkable and inspiring. There were many rounds of chemotherapy and many surgeries, but through it all, I had faith everything would be okay.

God provided us with security, healing and the right care needed to get us through. When I was officially cancer-free in 2019, I returned to Jupiter with a new lease on life. Ensuring I made the most of this life became more important than ever before.

For me, that meant making as many lasting memories with my family as possible and following my passion in life. That passion has always been helping people.

From that point on, I kicked it into high gear, working to grow my business and reach more people in the community. I wanted my children to see that no matter what obstacles you face in life, you can make the most of it and achieve anything you set your mind to.

My faith, family and passion for helping others are the driving forces in my life. As a REALTOR®, I already recognized the significance of my role, helping families find a home. I want the best for my clients, and I know I can deliver it.

It is a true honor when someone accepts my help and entrusts me to bring their dreams to life. One of the most important things I can do for my clients is offer a pressure-free, comfortable and supportive environment.

Through my rigorous treatments, the kindness and empathy from those around me were just as important as the lifesaving care I received. I carry that with me, always striving to make my clients feel as cared for as I did.

By prioritizing the things that matter most, my business took off, and I was able to help so many people. And with this success, I can provide my children with even more adventures through travel and unique experiences.

God truly has blessed every aspect of my life, and I am always reminded of that! In my free time, I enjoy the South Florida lifestyle with my children, Peyton, Fletcher and Porter.

Much of our time is spent attending their sporting events or enjoying the outdoors and being on the water. 

Before I was a REALTOR®, I worked as a pediatric physical therapist. Helping children was such a special and fulfilling career.

However, when I had my own children, I wanted to be as involved in their lives as possible. This led me to explore a new path: real estate! Through real estate, I saw a similar opportunity to help people and make a tangible difference in their lives.

With an eye for interior design, I found it exciting to help my clients find and create a beautiful space, serving as the setting for many future memories.

Real estate, to me, has always been about building relationships and finding solutions for people’s problems.

When you come to me with a goal, I do everything in my power to make it happen! Whether you are a first-time buyer, seasoned investor, upgrading or downsizing, I provide the same high-level customer service where you and your best interests are my priority.

It is my goal to make this process fun and exciting, serving as your professional advocate now and in the future as your REALTOR® for life. 

Sincerely,

Laurie Hodges
