Looking to sell your property, buy a new home, or just need some expert real estate advice?

About
I’m Laurie Evans, President of The Real Estate Studio and a Raleigh native with deep roots in the Triangle. With more than 20 years of experience, I specialize in new construction and infill properties, bringing intentional design, hospitality, and elevated service to every client and builder I serve. My real estate journey began long before my career—spending afternoons with my grandparents in new home communities instilled in me a deep appreciation for the craft and the experience of home.

In 2026, I received RISMedia’s national Futurist Award, recognizing forward-thinking leadership shaping the future of real estate. I was also named Best Real Estate Agent in the 2026 Wake Living Maggy Awards, marking the fourth time I’ve been recognized in this category. I am also a RamseyTrusted© Pro, a distinction that reflects a commitment to integrity, service, and trusted guidance for clients. These recognitions reflect the trust of the clients and community I’m privileged to serve.

For me, real estate is more than a transaction—it’s about creating unforgettable experiences. I merge design, strategy, and exceptional service in every interaction, anticipating needs, following through with integrity, and protecting my clients’ vision at every step. Clients feel cared for, partners feel supported, and team members feel empowered.

I love growing alongside my clients—helping first-time buyers find their dream homes, celebrating milestones, and guiding the next generation as they purchase homes of their own. My local expertise runs deep, from hidden gems across the Triangle to the complexities of infill development and land valuation, ensuring every client navigates our fast-growing market with confidence and clarity.

Outside of work, I enjoy traveling for great food, shopping at HomeGoods, and spending time with my daughter, Ellie. I have a twin sister, which always surprises people. My values—hospitality, integrity, intentionality, and relentless follow-through—shape everything I do as both a leader and advocate.

At The Real Estate Studio, I’m inspired to lead differently, setting a new standard for what real estate can be: thoughtful, elevated, and unforgettable. My mission is to ensure every client experience reflects excellence, intentional design, and unparalleled care.

I have worked with Laurie for 16 years, during which time she has successfully sold multiple communities and homes for ICG Homes. She has a strong work ethic, operates with integrity, and responds quickly regardless of the time or day.

Laurie and Neil have a deep understanding of the market and consistently approach transactions from both the buyer’s and seller’s perspectives, allowing them to find common ground and drive transactions to a successful close. They stay ahead of interior design trends and understand how design choices impact buyer perception and value. Most importantly, they deliver on their promises. In conclusion, they have a deep understanding of real estate and are a valuable asset to anyone they work with.

Laurie and Neil have in-depth knowledge of the Raleigh real estate market, including the marketing, sales process, and contract-to-closing process. But what has made them stand out above the rest is her true understanding of the business, the needs, and the priorities, both financially and otherwise, of the new home builder and building company. The requirements for how they must operate and the level of communication needed require far more than the average agent typically provides.

I have had the pleasure of working with Laurie and Neil for more than a decade. Their expertise and work ethic combined have culminated in a partnership that has evolved through transitioning market conditions, growth, scale, and the ever-changing needs and demands of our shared most valuable priority, our home buyers!

To be able to grow at a steady pace, we needed to surround ourselves with great partners. One of the very best in the business was Laurie Evans. Laurie and Neil ended up selling 70 to 80% of our homes (Laurie has sold three of my personal homes over the last 14 years) each year, along with bringing us countless land deals to evaluate. They worked tirelessly to make sure our homes were right before a shovel even went into the ground. They excel at knowing the market and the potential buyer demographic.

Laurie prides herself on always being readily available, which to me was priceless. She and Neil are top producers in the triangle because of their tireless work ethic, communication skills, and honesty.

I've had the pleasure of working with Laurie Evans, and without hesitation, I can say she is one of the most professional real estate brokers I've encountered in my career. Having been in this industry for many years and worked with countless Brokers, they stand far above the rest.

Her attention to detail, commitment to understanding the business from every angle, and her timeless and proactive approach are evident in everything she does. Laurie never once said, “I can't” —she always delivers on her promises and consistently goes above and beyond, with purpose and integrity.

My only regret is not having met Laurie and Neil earlier in my career. I do not doubt that working with them from the start would have made my job significantly easier. I highly recommend Laurie, Neil, and their team to anyone looking for a top-tier real estate professional.

I have had the pleasure to work with Laurie and Neil over the last 4 years, and I can honestly say that their service exceeds expectations with every interaction. Laurie is an outstanding communicator and always goes above and beyond to make sure that their clients are informed, confident, and comfortable in every decision. Along with being a great person, Laurie’s service, communication, and hustle are what truly set her apart. You never have to wonder what is going on—she makes sure that she communicates frequently—and her entire team provides elite-level dedication and hustle to give the best service to her clients, whether you are a buyer, seller, builder, or developer.
