Meet Laura Blackwood
REALTOR® | Founder, Laura Blackwood Group | SERHANT. Virginia
Luxury Service. Every Price Point.
One dedicated agent. An entire team behind your move.
For Laura Blackwood, luxury real estate isn't defined by a price tag. It's defined by the experience.
With over 14 years of real estate experience, Laura has built her business around a simple philosophy: every client deserves exceptional representation, thoughtful guidance, and an elevated level of service, regardless of their budget.
As the founder of the Laura Blackwood Group at SERHANT. Virginia, Laura offers a boutique real estate experience backed by the resources of a dedicated, full-time in-house team. While her team works behind the scenes to coordinate the details, manage timelines, and execute strategic marketing, Laura remains personally involved in what matters most: advising her clients, negotiating on their behalf, and protecting their best interests.
Originally from Mexico, where she previously owned her own real estate brokerage, Laura brings an international perspective, an entrepreneurial mindset, and a deep understanding of what it means to make a house feel like home.
Today, she proudly serves buyers, sellers, investors, and relocating families throughout Hampton Roads and the Virginia Peninsula. Fluent in English and Spanish, Laura connects with clients from diverse backgrounds and guides them through some of life's most meaningful transitions.
Recognized among the region's top-producing real estate professionals, Laura has earned distinctions including the Hampton Roads REALTORS® Association Circle of Excellence Platinum Award and recognition among NAHREP's Top 250 Latino Agents.
But beyond the accolades, Laura measures her success by the relationships she builds, the trust her clients place in her, and the results she delivers.
Whether you're purchasing your first home, selling a property, relocating to the area, or making your next luxury move, Laura believes you deserve the same level of attention, expertise, and advocacy.
Personal Attention. Powerful Results.
Because exceptional service should never depend on your price point.
