Laina Collins

Broker/REALTOR® | License # 285246

I grew up on our beautiful Crystal Coastal and have enjoyed the beaches, boating, and atmosphere of coastal living for much of my life. I am a graduate of Appalachian State University with a Bachelor of Science in Nursing. For 6 years I lived in Charlotte, NC where I worked as a Pediatric Cardiology, RN; however, my husband and I decided Charlotte was no longer for us and it was time to move back to the coast. I transitioned into real estate and have not looked back! I can tell you I have strong negotiating skills, local market knowledge, and so forth, and of course, I do, but the most important tool I can provide you with is my passion. I got into the industry because I fell in love with it. I love homes, the character of each one, and the wonderful people I meet along the way. I love hearing people's stories; stories about what they love about their current home or dreams of their future home. I love exploring the homes my clients want to see or list, and giving tips on how to make them shine. Real estate can be stressful, but I do my best to make the process as enjoyable as possible for you. I have been selling real estate since 2015; A dedicated partner in the buying and selling process, I will be at your side to answer your questions and help you be as fully informed as possible. I pride myself on being hardworking and paying close attention to details which are key elements in assisting clients to purchase and sell real estate. I strive to excel in all aspects of my life and my number one goal is for my clients to be more than satisfied with the end result of their transaction.

I’ve been helping clients buy and sell real estate since 2015, with a strong focus on building lasting relationships and providing honest, reliable guidance throughout the process. I take pride in being responsive, knowledgeable, and committed to keeping your best interests front and center. My approach is about more than just real estate, it's about understanding your goals and helping you reach them.

Laina was phenomenal in helping me find a home. She went out of her way to make an appointment and video conference me to tour the home. She was very professional and kind. I would definitely recommend her if you are buying or selling a home. It is very apparent she is passionate about finding her clients the “right home.” Great experience in this crazy market we are experiencing.
