Laura Keogan, REALTOR®, GRI, SRES® at Realty Group
I have experience that sets me apart from many other Realtors. As a former licensed general contractor / whole-home renovator, I help buyers to take a critical look at homes toured, beyond cosmetics. As a former business manager in the financial world, I have a strong background with contracts - a very important part of every home sale. My areas of expertise include:
- Helping home sellers through the decision-making process regarding if they wish to do some work to a home before listing and, if so:
- Provide advice on where the biggest "bang for the buck" lies
- Provide advice on highly popular finish choices that will appeal to most buyers
- Provide referrals to sources of materials and service
- Helping seniors / families in their transition from a long-time home. I have earned the Senior Real Estate Specialist (SRES) designation from the National Association of Realtors. Helping my own mother through this journey became a catalyst for me in developing this specialty. I am experienced in helping sellers involving:
- a move to a senior residence, including referrals to organizations for everything from placement in a residence to high-touch movers who will even hang photos in the new residence.
- a move to be near / with family or to a warmer climate
- downsizing
- working with those granted Power of Attorney
- working with the Personal Representative of an estate.
- Helping home buyers to look past just the cosmetics of a home, looking also at the visible condition of structural and mechanical components.
- Home buyers who are eager to remodel to make a home their own
I am a Graduate of the Realtor Institute - this is a higher level of education than what is required to simply maintain a real estate license.
Prior to my real estate career, I was in management with a Fortune 500 company, involved in contract writing, negotiation & execution, marketing and customer service. I find business experience to be invaluable to my business as a REALTOR®.

I most frequently work with customers in the west, southwest, south, and northwest metro areas. My offices are in Minnetonka & St. Louis Park.
When you choose me as your REALTOR®, you can rest assured that you will have a trusted adviser, strong advocate and skilled professional on your side.
