A note...
From the Coldwell Banker Advantage Leadership Team
"With You All the Way" is not just our tagline; it’s our north star. "With You All the Way" is our core belief that we have the responsibility to serve our agents and to help ensure they achieve the business goals they have established for themselves; no matter how lofty those goals may first appear.
When Coldwell Banker Real Estate launched What Moves Her, we quickly saw the alignment between Coldwell Banker’s desire to inspire and support women to find their path to success with our local focus and commitment to help our agents achieve their personal goals.
So it is with great honor that we have worked to make What Moves Her a foundational element of all that we do to serve our agents.
While many personal growth initiatives focus on activities to achieve a specific outcome, few provide the holistic approach of What Moves Her that specifically helps create a complete mindset or paradigm shift for women in real estate.
Through workshops, videos, meetings, blogs, and live streaming events, our agents will learn a new way of thinking to achieve personal goals from other very successful women (both inside and outside) of real estate.
As a leadership team, we are genuinely excited to integrate the proven business-building strategies created using our belief system of "With You All the Way" with the focused mindset development of What Moves Her.
We are committed to making the most of this combination to provide our agents both the inspiration and guidance they desire to achieve the vision they have for themselves.
We truly hope you find tremendous value in What Moves Her and look forward to your great success!

Laurie Donofrio
REG VICE PRESIDENT& MANAGING BROKER
KERR LAKE
PRESIDENT NORTH CAROLINA PROPERTY RIGHTS FUND
Laurie has had a life long passion for real estate and helping people. She grew up in the business and has seen just about every type of market there is. Relocation has been her focus over her career not only because her husband was in the Air Force, but because she has experienced moving from every perspective: buyer, seller, tenant and long distance landlord.
With so many years experience helping people realize their real estate dream, it was a natural transition to helping agents grow their business by becoming exceptional agents. Starting in 2004 as a training, and then in 2007 becoming SVP of Training, she loves working hands on with agents helping them come up with customized plans for their business.
Laurie believes in staying involved in the community, which was one of her highlights of moving to CBA. She actively fights for private property rights, affordable housing, and reasonable taxation. She also believes in giving back to the community, which is part of the CBA Way.
Laurie currently serves as President of the NC Property Rights Fund, a private property rights advocacy group. Laurie served on the Board of Directors for both the RRAR and NCAR.
Laurie is Past Chairman of the Triangle Community Coalition, was the Vice-President of Membership for the Women's Council of REALTORS®; Raleigh chapter.
