laura MAULTSBY LKNW RECOGNIZES A WOMAN DOING EXCEPTIONAL WORK IN THE LAKE NORMAN COMMUNITY, A LEADER WHO IS PAVING THE WAY TO CHANGING OUR ATTITUDES AND INSPIRING CONFIDENCE IN THE FUTURE.
on FOLLOWING YOUR HEART:
My passion truly lies in helping people sell their homes! Staging is key and I love to stage homes. My best day is fabric shopping and hunting deals at the High Point Furniture Market. It is very gratifying to be able to be successful in a sale after the homeowner has had several agents who weren’t able to sell their home. The excitement of the homeowner and the buyers during a sale is what keeps the spark in my passion.

INSPIRATION: As a child, my mom and grandmother inspired me to learn to sew. When I was 20 years old, my mom bought me my first sewing machine. After getting married two years later, I made a duvet cover, pillows, curtains, and recovered a headboard for our first home. I recently had the motor rebuilt because I’ve worn the thing out! I love sewing and making beautiful things, just like my mom and grandmother did.

FINDING YOUR STRIDE: My husband left his job in June 2016; we started a team and began working together. With four children, it was a very scary risk, but we knew we needed to regain control of raising our large family. It was very important for us to have a balanced home/work life. It took a few months to figure out our roles, but we found our groove and enjoy working as a team. I’m so thankful to work beside my best friend every day and provide for our family.
on MAINTAINING PERSPECTIVE:
When I’m having a bad day, I ask myself what are you grateful for? Who loves you? Why do you do what you do? Asking myself these questions always helps to redirect my negative thoughts and motivates me to change my perspective. If I’m up against a hard task, or making a hard call, I ask myself – would you rather make that hard call, or eat a frog? The answer is always – make the call!
