For Laura Dunnigan, the most rewarding part of real estate is the people she gets to walk alongside—and the clients who become friends along the way. She loves getting to know their stories, understanding what they’re dreaming of, and helping them take that next step. Her passion for homes and design brings creativity to her work, but the relationships are what give it meaning.
That passion began in Monongahela, Pennsylvania, where Laura grew up in a Main Street district surrounded by historic architecture and a tight-knit community. It’s where her love of old towns took root, along with an appreciation for the local businesses, familiar faces, and shared stories that give a place its identity. Those early experiences still shape how she sees homes and the communities around them.
A REALTOR® with Compass and the creative behind Dunnigan Designs, Laura combines real estate guidance with an eye for design and a personal investment in the people she serves. She listens closely, welcomes questions, and believes honest conversations build the trust needed to make confident decisions. Whether you’re buying your first home, preparing to sell, or navigating a new season of life, she wants you to feel heard, informed, and supported every step of the way.
Laura’s design perspective helps clients see both a home’s possibilities and the practical steps to bring them to life. For sellers, that means thoughtful recommendations on staging, presentation, and updates that showcase their home’s strengths. For buyers, it means looking beyond the current décor to envision how a space could reflect their style and support their everyday lives.
Calling Middle Tennessee home since 2003, Laura now lives and works in downtown Murfreesboro, where that lifelong connection to Main Street continues. Often exploring by bicycle, “The Riding Realtor” loves introducing people to the small businesses, hidden gems, and stories that make her community special. Through her initiative, Miles for Good, she also raises awareness for community-nominated nonprofits and encourages donations directly to the organizations serving her neighbors.
Outside of real estate and design, Laura treasures time with her daughter, Parker, and finds inspiration in her faith, nature, spontaneous adventures, and all things creative. She brings that same curiosity and heart to her work, taking time to understand what makes each person—and each home—unique.
“I love that this work allows me to become part of someone’s story. Getting to walk alongside people through such a meaningful chapter, and finding that we’ve become friends along the way, is what I love most.”
