Laura Ellis

Laura Ellis serves as Baird & Warner Real Estate’s chief strategy officer, executive vice president and president of residential sales. Last year, she addressed changes in buyer compensation resulting from the National Association of REALTORS® settlement.

Baird & Warner provided extensive agent training, and Ellis articulated the company’s position to numerous local and national print, online and broadcast outlets. She emphasized the firm’s commitment to transparency regarding agent compensation, as well as the critical value that professional agents provide in a complex and competitive real estate market.

In 2024, Ellis enjoyed “working with some of the most accomplished professionals in the industry and my leadership team to shape effective strategies that empower our most productive agents to live the lives they dream of. As a leader, there is nothing more rewarding than being able to have a meaningful impact on the success of the business and the quality of life those you are responsible.”
