OUR COMPANY

Laura took ownership of Coastal Long Term Rental Company in 2013. At the time it was a “one-woman show” that she handled top to bottom. Since then, Laura has not only expanded the business, but she’s also improved it with the implementation of new software, processes, and capabilities. The goal was to modernize the company to provide the best possible services to her clients. 



Laura’s previous careers were in the real estate industry, short-term property management and procurement. Throughout those years Laura gained an invaluable relationship with some of the top real estate agents of our area, who know her work ethic and high sense of integrity. They continue to trust her with their clients who need property management services or a rental. 

Growing up on a ranch in Montana, Laura was instilled with an excellent work ethic early on. The values of accountability and responsibility she brings to her work permeate every facet of her business, something that both owners and tenants appreciate. 

Laura has two wonderful children and a very supportive husband. She loves to spend time outdoors with her family, watching her kids grow up in such a beautiful place.

Christie works out of the Bluffton office as the Office Manager. She joined Coastal as a Property Manager when we opened the Bluffton branch in 2018. Coastal had acquired her previous employer that year and was excited to keep Christie on board. Christie came with a lot of experience in the property management business, working her way up from an administrative role to a licensed Property Manager, and now Office Manager. She has extensive knowledge of the area, market, and is very detail oriented. She provides excellent customer service to anyone she encounters and loves new technology. 

Christie is originally from LaGrange, GA where she received her degree in accounting. She had briefly lived in the Lowcountry before receiving her degree and ended up moving back in 2006. Christie loves anything to do with being outdoors. Some of her favorite things to do are boating, fishing, crocheting, holiday decorating and time with family and friends.
