Laura Mangrum

Lead Real Estate Broker

Hello, my name is Laura Mangrum and I have called the Sauk Valley area my home for most of my life and currently reside in Dixon with my husband and 3 children. I have been a Realtor since 2005 and have gained a wealth of experience on both the buying and selling side and I look forward to many more years of helping people achieve their dream of home ownership. In 2008 I earned my GRI designation, the highest designation a Realtor can earn, and in 2016 I earned my SRES (Seniors Real Estate Specialist) designation and continue to further my education with classes, seminars, and conventions to make sure I stay at the forefront of all things real estate including changes in the law and the latest in technology, among other things. I have been very involved in the community including Dixon Main Street for which I won Rookie of the year in 2008 and Volunteer of the year in 2010 and as a Dixon Chamber of Commerce Ambassador and past president for which I won Ambassador of the year in 2012. I look forward to the future of Dixon and I am excited to be a part of it. Call me today so I can show you why this is such a great place to live and how you can own a part of it!
