Moving Forward

Born and raised in the Kanawha Valley along the historic Elk River, I’m a small-town West Virginia girl who dreamed big for our little state. Before real estate, I gained diverse experience across food service, sales, hospitality, management, healthcare, economics, accounting, and human and social services — each role shaping my understanding of people, purpose, and community.

With the encouragement of my best friend and fellow REALTOR®, Yun Liang, I stepped boldly into real estate in September 2021 — and I never looked back. By mid-2022, I left my salaried job to pursue the industry full-time (and often double-time), dedicating my energy, heart, and grit to the clients and communities I proudly serve.

I’ve explored nearly every corner of West Virginia, but no region holds my heart like southern WV. Its hollers, its heritage, and its people inspire everything I do. Helping others discover the comfort, character, and affordability of this region is not just my job — it’s my calling.

I earned my BSBA from West Virginia State University, where I competed on the women’s tennis team, and later earned my MBA with a focus on Real Estate Management from Columbia College — strengthening the foundation I bring to every transaction.

In 2025, I founded The Porch Sisters Appalachian Property Group — Southern WV’s Premier Home & Land Referral Network. As its Leader, I’ve created a collaborative, client-first force dedicated to ensuring no holler, no home, no farm, and no trail goes unrepresented. What began as a vision has grown into a movement — transforming how real estate is done through service, sisterhood, and unmatched commitment.

Backed by the distinguished 80+ year legacy of Old Colony REALTORS®, I proudly serve each client with elevated ethics, polished professionalism, and a standard of diligence that shines far beyond industry expectations. My promise is simple: exceptional service, unwavering integrity, and results that honor both the client and the land we love.

If you’re searching for a REALTOR® who knows the mountains, champions your goals, and works with both heart and excellence — I’d be honored to walk beside you.
Your time is always worth my time. 💜🏡 From our porch to yours.

Sharing My Client Experiences

"Always a pleasure to work with Laura Collins, I can say I have seen first hand how she goes above and beyond to take care of her sellers and buyers to make sure their properties are advertised and showcased to their fullest potential!"

- SkyShield Photography

"Laura is one of the hardest working, friendliest, funniest, most down-to-earth people we have ever met and hands down the best realtor this side of the Mississippi. We always said "well we can just buy or sell on our own, why pay someone so much money when we can do it?" After working with Laura once, we swore up and down we would never do another real estate transaction without her involvement. She has always worked her butt off to make the deals happen and has always been on top of all of our needs and questions. Never once has she ever had that condescending tone a lot of sales/real estate people get. She's always super friendly and ready to help even through all of the million questions, paperwork tweaks, and late night texts I've bugged her with"

- Chase McLaughlin

"Laura helped us in so many ways to purchase our dream lake house. She was always ready with info and action in a true "Get 'er done" way. Best agent we have seen in a very long time."

- Michael Garippa
