About Laura Schlicht
Maryland Realtor® | Farm & Equestrian Property Specialist | Design-Forward Seller Prep
Hi, I’m Laura. I’m a lifelong Maryland resident and a Realtor® with CENTURY 21 Advance Realty in Bel Air. Since 2020, I’ve helped buyers and sellers across Harford, Baltimore, and Cecil counties move with clarity and confidence—from first conversation to smooth, on-time settlement.
I live on a 40-acre farm where I raise and train young show ponies, so I understand barns, fencing, pasture management, arenas, and the everyday operating needs that make country properties work. Whether you’re selling a small farmette or searching for acreage, I bring real, hands-on knowledge to your decisions.
My Path to Real Estate
Before real estate, I spent 30+ years as a professional interior designer. That background helps me see a home’s potential—layout, light, materials, and cost-smart updates that photograph beautifully and resonate with today’s buyers. I also bring experience from property insurance and familiarity with appraisal considerations, so clients get practical, risk-aware guidance during pricing, inspections, and negotiations.
My approach is friendly, organized, and highly communicative. I believe great outcomes come from clear plans, honest advice, and treating every detail like it matters—because it does.
What Sets Me Apart
- Farm & Equestrian Expertise: Real-world knowledge of barns, pastures, outbuildings, and acreage due diligence.
- Design-Forward Prep: Photo-ready checklists, staging guidance, and smart updates that maximize ROI.
- Pricing Clarity: Market-aligned strategy informed by comps, condition, and buyer demand trends.
