Laura Doughty grew up in Kentucky with an interest in real estate early on; since age 13, she worked for her father’s real estate publishing company and throughout her high school and college years. She received a BS degree from Murray State University in Interior Design and Marketing. From college, she worked for large corporations as a District Sales Manager then moved to Atlanta, GA and began working as a Realtor® with Harry Norman Realtors. She traveled extensively matching up buyers and sellers, from development projects, large estates to starter homes. Laura Doughty has spent the last 20 years dealing in all aspects of the real estate industry. In 2001, she moved to California working in residential and commercial real estate in Orange, Co. In 2004, she founded Tola Malibu, www.tolamalibu.com, an organic spa skincare line and consulting firm that allowed her to work with a variety of different companies lending them her creative marketing and sales expertise.

Laura began consulting with Malibu Management Estate Services and quickly learned there was a need to partner the real estate transactions with an estate management service. She founded Monarch Estates and Homes and as the COO, it enables Laura to provide a superior level of informed, professional real estate services to clients. She feels fortunate to be able to say, "I love what I do! I am passionate about taking care of this beautiful place we call home. It’s not only important to provide the knowledge and integral expertise in a real estate transaction, but equally important to understand the construction and maintenance needs of a home.” For Laura, the sale is not completed at escrow, there’s still much more she can provide to continue to ensure her clients enjoy their home for many years.

While running marathons are a hobby for Laura, they have taught her real life lessons on how determination, focus and discipline result in a winning solution for any undertaking. “I’ve learned that anything is possible as long as you put your mind to it. Even when your body says ‘no more’, your spirit is what determines how you finish.” She brings that passion and drive to her life and her business every day. Buying and selling real estate can seem overwhelming, but with Laura representing your best interest, you can rest assure, she will get you to the finish line smiling.

Laura resides in Malibu and loves the unique beach community. Her dedication to her clients is evident in the level of service they receive. If you are looking for a skilled real estate agent, whether buying or selling, look no further than Laura and experience the difference.
