Laura Powers

About Me

With experience spanning multiple facets of real estate — including working as a general contractor, builder, remodeler, and designer — I bring a comprehensive, behind-the-scenes understanding of how homes are built, renovated, and valued. That insight allows me to guide my clients with confidence, clarity, and a true competitive advantage.

I understand that buying or selling a home can feel overwhelming at times. My first priority is making sure you feel informed, prepared, and supported every step of the way. Clear communication, thoughtful strategy, and strong advocacy are the foundation of how I serve my clients. My goal is not just to help you find or sell a house — but to help you move forward into your own personal sanctuary with confidence.

As a proud Nebraska native, I deeply believe in the opportunities our community offers. Omaha is an exceptional place to live, work, and raise a family. Over the years, I’ve watched our city grow and thrive — from the College World Series at TD Ameritrade Park to the development of CHI Health Center, Midtown Crossing, and Aksarben Village. It’s an exciting time to be part of this community, and I’m passionate about helping others find their place here.

I earned both my Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees from the University of Nebraska–Omaha, and I bring over twenty years of real estate experience to every transaction. Whether navigating negotiations, inspections, construction concerns, or complex market conditions, I am committed to helping you overcome any obstacle with professionalism and care.

If you’re considering buying, selling, or simply exploring your options, I would love to connect. Call, text, or email anytime — I look forward to helping you achieve your real estate goals.
 

Professional Profile

My #1 concern is doing what is best for my clients.  I won't negotiate a deal that I don't feel good about. 

Testimonials:

"My house sold very quickly. Because of Laura's contacts, the house had an offer in just a couple of days. I was moving out of town and Laura was great about getting things scheduled (such as electrician & plumber) so I did not need to worry about those. I would highly recommend using Laura for selling a house."  -Linda O.

"Working with Laura felt like working with a friend.  We really enjoyed looking at houses with her at our side.  As first time buyers, we required additional attention and patience from our realtor.  Laura far exceeded these needs and got us into our first house!  We are so happy with the decision we made and we wouldn't have wanted to go through the process with anyone else.  We have found our life-long realtor."  -Tom & Kim Z.

"Laura has the two most important attributes of a realtor:  knowledge and accessibility.  She worked diligently to sell our home and provided valuable expertise in finding the home that was right for us.  When it's time for us to sell our house, Laura will be the first person we call." -James and Anne C.

"When I first started to look for a house I was unsure of what to do or even what to look for.  Laura made me feel very comfortable in the buying process.  She made sure that what I wanted was in the houses I toured.  She listened to my requeststo make sure I was getting the house I wanted.  I never felt pressured by Laura and when I needed information on a house I got it as soon as possible. I was very pleased with the home I got and Laura was a huge part of that process. - Michael B. 

"I would and have recommended Laura Powers to my family and friends.  As a first time homebuyer I felt confident and comfortable when we found my home.  Laura was very supportive and knowledgable about the home buying process.  She coached and walked me through every aspect of the process, any questions or concerns she explained to me as many times as I needed until I understood.  She has gone the extra mile to make this a fun, enjoyable, and easy experience.  I felt confident that Laura was always looking out for my best interest.  Even when I was discouraged and thinking I would never find the right home, Laura assured me that the right home for me would come along.  I will go back to Laura when I start my adventure of buying another home." - Kaitlin R. 

"We really enjoyed having Laura as our Realtor. Any questions or concerns we had were answered promptly and to her best knowledge. She made it easy to feel confident about our decisions! Buying and selling a home can be very stressful and frustrating, and she did everything in her power to make sure it went as smoothly as possible. We would recommend her services to anyone and very much appreciate her help throughout this experience!" - Lindsey & Chad W.
