ABOUT LAURA

 My name is Laura Kopple and I am the owner/broker of Laura B. Kopple, Inc., Realtors® in Venice, Florida. I am active in the Venice Area Board of Realtors having continually served on the education committee, finance committee, grievance committee, data services committee, as a Director for 3 years, as Vice-President/Secretary, as President Elect, and as President in 2007.  Currently I chair the Professional Development Committee at the Venice Area Board of Realtors ®. Formerly I chaired the Education Committee at My Florida Regional MLS and was a director on the board at My Florida Regional MLS.
I have completed courses to acquire my Resort & Second-Home Property Specialist (RSPS) designation and my Senior Real Estate Specialist (SRES) designation.  I also hold the GRI designation, Graduate of Realtor Institute.
I was born in Pittsburgh & am the oldest of 7 children. In 1973, Mom & Dad packed up the tribe & moved us to Ft.Lauderdale. No more “snowed-in” winters for us.

After meeting my husband, Bob, in Miami, I went to work for his title insurance company as a bookkeeper & closing agent. When the business was sold, I expanded my knowledge of the real estate industry by working as a rental agent for a commercial real estate broker and later, a closing coordinator for a large law firm before opening our own real estate office. In the early 80’s, we relocated to Venice, Florida, and opened our office, specializing in resort & second homes. That small two-man team has grown but we have not lost our ability to provide professional, personalized service to our growing client base.

In addition to my real estate career, I am active in The Plantation Community Foundation & the Gulf Coast Community Foundation as a sponsor for fund raising events that benefit local organizations. Also, I have set up an endowment fund in my husband’s memory wherein the monies go directly to the Hospice organization.  Currently I am serving as a Director on the Board of the Venice Theatre. 
 
At home I enjoy what I call my own “Garden of Eden”, Glenaerie, which is nestled in a forest of live oak & cabbage palms. Registered as a natural backyard wildlife habitat, I emphasize xeriscaping in the design and the utilization of native landscape plants.  In 2005, I added two German shepherd puppies to my family. Being a first time parent, I had no idea how much joy they could bring.  In 2009 I rescued Annabelle from the shelter.  She's a 50 pound mutt with a lot of attitude but happy to have a permanent home of her own.  
 
May your life be filled with love & laughter, today and ever after.
