About
Laura Spaulding, Broker.
An investor who spent years buying and fixing difficult properties, now listing and selling them for the people who own them. Licensed in Florida under BK3285997.
I served in the Army, then spent seven years in law enforcement, working narcotics and vice in Kansas City. In 2005 I was standing on a homicide scene when the victim's mother asked me who was going to clean it up. Nobody had an answer. I started Spaulding Decon to be the answer, and over the next two decades built it into a national franchise before selling the company.
Somewhere in there I started buying houses myself. A family would be standing in a property they could not face, asking what on earth to do with it, and I would take it on — clear it out, renovate it, get it sold. I have been the investor writing the offer, the person running the clean-out, and the one handling the sale at the end.
That is why I price a house the way I do. I am not guessing at what the repairs cost or what an investor will really pay, because I have been on that side of the table for years.
Boss Lady Realty is where all of it ends up. I am a licensed Florida broker working Hillsborough and Pinellas, and my focus is sellers. Depending on the property that means one of three things: I buy it from you for cash, I list it and sell it for you, or I hand you to an agent I trust and stay out of the way.
If your house is spotless, I will sell it. If it is not, I have seen far worse, and I know exactly what it takes to get it to market.
