Lara's Team
Your Home Team Advantage

Lara Hutchins
Team Leader
(614) 526-0545
Bio
"Lara never does anything as expected - it is always over and above." (Broker Agent June 2006
This describes Lara Hutchins to a tee.  She formerly owned multiple businesses which included a construction company, hair salon, and an interior design company.  She also owns various rental properties.  It is obvious that real estate is her passion.  With her vast business experience, dedication and total commitment to the buyer/seller, it is apparant how she is able to stage our homes to sell faster and for more than our competition.

Her vision is to help people make good decisions and she considers it an honor when her team is chosen to represent a buyer/seller in the largest decision and investment they will have to make in their life.  She's a true believer that it's not about the money, but if you do the right thing in the best interest of your client, then the money will come.

With her 12 years of construction knowledge, she is able to notice quality construction as well as scaring the home inspectors!!  They better know what they're doing when Lara is around!!  It has been said that when a home inspector is present and knows the buyer is represented by Lara's Team, they know it's going to be a long day..."If Lara gets in the crawl space & attic, we have to do it too!!"

Lara believes in continuing to grow and learn.  She attends multiple self-improvement classes as well as listening to multiple motivational speakers.  She keeps visual reminders of success in a vision board that she sees on a daily basis.  Her constant growth keeps her ahead of the pack and gives her an edge in working with her clients.  Her team leadership is reflected in the exceptional traning she provides to her team - Lara's Team.  She is also a trainer and consultant for other realtors across the country, especially regarding the concerns with the economic shift in our market.

Her favorite quote by Frank Lloyd Wright graces a plaque on her desk:  "I know the price of success:  dedication, hard work and an unremitting devotion to the things you want to see happen."
